That the u. S. experiment station
has been able after years of work to
finally produce papaia trees from the
seed of which 95 per cent are fruit
bearing is the statement of ]. +. Hig-
gins, horticultural of the station, who
has carried on many of the expert

perfecting the papaia, as formerly
more than half of the papaias raised
from the seed were non-bearing.
The next step is to reduce that re-

will bear fruit and to accomplish this

that the male and female flowers are

Business conditions the world over
have felt the effects of the announce
ment that Germany was willing to
enter forthwith into peace negotia-
lions. The New York sugar market
felt its effects and sugar prices drop
ped from 5.52 to 5.27, those being the
prices of Monday and Friday this
week respectively. In the New York
stock market war babies metal
mine stocks and industrials engaged
in the manufacture of munitions Of
war dropped sharply and showed re-
coveries in part later
The Honolulu stock market natural
~ acted to some extent in sympathy
with other markets A larger volume
of business resulted from consequent
selling orders from the more timid
ones but so far as listed shares we're
concerned those sales were readily alb
sorbed The result was an appear
ance of weakness in the listed stock
market but without serious declines
and without general declines. only
some of the more active stocks being
marked down and quotations of the
more inactive remaining practically
the same.
While the decline in sugar prices
was given as a reason for lower prices

the present stage of the sugar season
by brokers here. One year ago it was

'PAPAIA CROP WILDE Made MUCH
Larger And MORE PROFITABLE

has been done in the past, most of
the resulting plants are males.
There are two ways of avoiding
this difficulty. One which is already
being used is to propagate the tree
by grating. This method is very use
full in prolonging the existence of
valuable seedlings, but it is somewhat
expensive for tree whose period of
profitable production is only two or
three years.
Would Breed New Genus
The other way is to breed a genus
of papaias which will carry both male
and female flowers on the same tree.
A race of this sort could be propa-
lated from seed, and there would be
no loss to the grower through the
production of non-fruiting males.
Every tree would be fruitful, just as
is the case with the apple, pear and
similar fruits The production OF
hermaphordite genus like this is made
possible by the fact that such trees
do exist in nature"
1t is by the last method that Htg-
gins has been able to increase the
produetiveness of the trees to 80 per
cent of the total seed plants AMI says
that it will be only matter Of time
when he will eliminate the other per
cent.
First Systematic Efforts
Up to the time that Higgins took
the papaia in hand, there had been
practically no systematic work Of i'm
proving the plant. Some growers had
made selections from pleasing varf
ties, but only few had considered the
hermophrodite method.
The papaia is believed tic be a ma
tive of Mexico and Central America,
| but from the time it was first intro
dnced into the Hawaiian Islands the
fruit has been above the average OF
other places even before the expert
ments started by Higgins, and now
with the propagation Of the hermapn-
rodite variety, Hawaii may we'll claim
| Il as her own.
The papaia is a tropical plant and
does not prosper under any otner thail
! tropical conditions. Just outside tne
tropics it is grown as a beautiful orna'
mental tree that occasionally yields
fruit In Hawaii it thrives best below
1900 feet altitude, producing its best
fruit in the warmest localities.
While the papaia will produce good
! fruit with a quite limited supply OF
water, il responds freely to liberal II
rigation on well drained soil and un
der the latter condition yields much
better fruit. There is little necessity
for pruning, but where the fruit Is
borne in thick clusters it frequently
becomes necessary to thin them Out

of the great novel, The Silence of
Dean Maitland" William Courtenay,
the star Of the film version, Arthur

cipals in the cast, the wonderful facil-
tiles of the Equitable's great Flush

outside scenes were located, all COM
bined under the dictatorship of John
lnce, and handled with consummate
skill have produced a screen drama
which carries the story to the mind
with force commanding attention A
big Episcopal church in Brooklyn was
used for the dramatic climax, with
the regular officers and choir of the
church in attendance and lending their
efforts toward insuring absolute &C
curacy in every detail of the great

ample of what the Equitable Is doing
in the way of producing pictures of the
highest quality.

marked an attache of the social serv-
ice bureau today
Housewives are constantly request
ing the service bureau to secure maids
for them. but it is difficult for the
bureau to meet the demand.
The mistresses of a number of
Richmond homes are now paying their
maids fifty per cent. higher wages
than they did two years ago. Couples
with children are the ones who find
it most difficult to keep maids
Competition of factories for girls
services has kept many from house
work" said the bureau attache Fac
tories are now paying girls better
wages than formerly, and many girls
would rather work longer though
more definite hours, in a factory
where they have company than in a
lonely kitchen. Women who want
maids will have to meet the competi-
ton Of the business world. Good
wages and short hours must be pro-
vided"

ceiving as high as $40 week. COM

than IS a week and practically all
