Plan GASOLINE.
RESERVE TANKS
our BY SHAFTER
Oahu Defense Board Said to
Have Recommended Them
to Authorities =.

According to report submitted By
the Oahu defense board the reommen
dalton Is made to military authorities
for huge gasoline tanks to be placed
near Fort Shafter to supply fuel foI
electric plants and for aircraft and
transportation, says the Army and
Navy Register
A schedule has been submitted
showing in detail the supplies re
CURED for each plant. No considera,
ton has been given boats In the coast
defenses, as the amount redui1ed is
not appreciate compared with the
amount for other purposes. On the
basis Of operations approximately
100000 gallons of gasoline can be
stored above ground in four 100000.
gallon tanks, in accordance with To-
cal practise. T.. H.. -
These tanks can be constructed On
the Fort Shafter reserve storehouse
site for approximately $4,000 each, or
SIS, 900 for the four. II these tanks
are placed underground the cost will
be increased by $2500reach, or $4,000
for the four, making the total cost
$4,000.
This includes pipe line, cranes, ETC.,
TO load from the tanks into containers
on railroad cars by gravity. The 9th.
er stores, which will require approx
mately 1000 cubic feet storage space,
can be stored in the proposed reserve
storehouses at Fort Shafter. The
amount of gasoline used locally for
transportation, etc., is close TO 100000
gallons per month. This is the aver.
age quantity also kept on hand. 1t is
believed that in time Of war there
would be needed about 10000 gallons
a month for transportation purposes,
aircraft, small boats, gas generating
outfit for captive balloon, etc.
A six months supply should be on
hand for this purpose. 1t is believed
that no additional storage is required
for this amount. because the oil COM
panies there are constructing gasoline
tanks to hold considerably more than
this amount and larger amount than
Isl now kept on hand may be anticipat.
ed in the near future.

Adjutant- General Announces
Contest to Commence
With Present Season

Companies Of the National Guard oil
Hawaii have been given an added in
centiye to good Workmanship by the
presentation of a splendid trophy
which is to be competed for year by
year by organizations of the local mill
tia. The trophy, known as the Rem
ington Centennial Statue, will be
awarded to the guard company obtain
ing the highest figure of merit, and
will be held only so long as the com
pany retains predominance in rifle
shooting - ....-... 49,.
The acknowledgements Office an.
nounces that the trophy will be com
peted for during the present season.
The fact that the National Guard of
Hawaii shoots both the organized
militia and regular army courses, will
make no difference in determining
the award, as the figure of merit will
DO computed j.. .....-.s, Ii ~.
E. O. Hall & Son have just receiv-
ed word that the Remington Centen-
NAL Statue, which is presented to the
National Guard of each state by the
citizens of lion, N. ", is being shipped
and expected to reach Honolulu in a
few weeks, to be delivered to the adj
jutant-general
There is great interest ON the part
of the general public as well as in
military circles in the coming of this
beautiful statue "a work of art, not
an ordinary shooting trophy-to our
territory. The statue was cast in
bronze from an original by Albin
Polasek, the Bohemian sculptor 1t
stands three feet high including its
ebony base.
The occasion of the presentation is
the Tooth anniversary of the making
OF the first Remington rife at the
Mohawk valley town of lion, which
marked the beginning of the firearms
industry in America. From the cross
roads settlement of 1916, Ilion has
become a thriving city of more than
10000 peoplea city which cherishes-
and is proud of the Remington tradi-
ton and history. So the new lion
seeking to fittingly express it's rever-
ence for the memory of Eliphalet
Remington, Jr., the maker of the orig
inal rifle, is giving the Remington
statue to the National Guard of each
and every state of the union-a per-.
petual prize for proficiency in marks
manship. The statue will be contest
ed for annually by the various COM
panies of the militia, forever, or at
least as long as there Is National
Guard The statue is given as a part
of the general centennial observance
plan, the center of which will be three
days of speechmaking, games and
pageants at Ilion, where Governor
Whitman of New York State, Senator
Warren G. Harrington of Ohio, and
Major-General Hugh L. Scott, chief Of

many other notables will be enter

BETTER
Than war, SAYS
MEXICAN YOUTH
carrizaI veteran Plays With
Red Top and Yellow Dog
While convaleScing
fAssocia.sd Press By cablsl

JUAREZ, Mexico.-With large,
red top as a plaything and a yellow,
stub-tailed dog, that spends most OF
its time chasing fleas, as a playmate,
Eulalio Rodriguez. a Carranza soldier
of the Canales brigade, is conyalesc-
ing in a local hospital from wounds
sustained in action. Eulalio, who is
10 years old, is perhaps one OF the
youngest of the boy soldiers helping
to make up the fighting forces OF
Mexico. He was wounded in the en-
gagement with Americans at Carrizal
in June.
The youngster was bending over
the body of his company commander,
Lieut. Evarista Martinez, when h.
was shot thTkugh the body. But Eu
lalio insists that although his wound
hurt he kept on fighting until the
Americans had retreated.
The child was taken to the military
hospital in Chihuahua City, discharg-
ed as recovered, and ordered with
his brigade to Juarez. On the troop
train, however, his wounds broke
open afresh and he was taken to the
hospital here, where he Is said to be
recovering rapidly Each day he sits
in the sun awhile and spins his top,
given him by an American newspaper
man, while the dog, whfch lust
adopted him. plays about.
Eulalio, although he can neither
read nor write, seems rather preco-
cious in his patriotism and in ans
wer to questions, he said:
II like peace better than war. And
when the fighting Is over I'm going
home with my father and go into the
farming business"

.GUARDC0MPANIES Will SHOOT
FOR REMINGTON BRONZE TROPHY

work of considerable merit is eyidenc-
ed by the following tribute from the
pen of Robert J. Cole, art critic of
the New York Evening Sun:
The sturdy legs and frmly-pIanted
feet gain solidity from the bulk of
the anvil beside which the lad stands
says the critic. "a blacksmith's apron
falling nearly to the knees, gives at
once the feeling of shop and craft
and faint classic touch. The old
Romans who wore the toga with so
heroic an air were not wholly unlike
the pioneers of our own country +
One lifted hand grasps the barrel
of the new-made gun. The other, held
slightly away from the body, fingers
outspread, suggests the expansive
half-relaxed mood of one who has done
his task and turns to dream of the
future.
The light strikes across the young
makers raised brow. Triumph over
his achievement is mingled with a
question as to what it may come to
mean for himself, his family, his ma
ton and the generation yet unborn.
There is. something prophetic in his
look
1T is amazing how much action,
how much of the feeling of living
breathing man, with muscles that
swell and move in obedience to the
minus order, a sculptor can suggest
in figure that is absolutely still.
Some of this result is obtained by
simple means like the bend of the
knee, the turn of the whole body, the
sense of shifting weight in the change
of position.p
