new VAR Plane
Of GERMANS IS
Allies DREAD

Possessing the advantage of firing
from her machine guns directly
through her propellers, the new Ger
man war plane known as the FOX
kerr" from the man who invented it,
is claimed by even British newspapers
to be one of the most deadly vessels
of the air yet invented. -.
The advantage of this firing space
through the propeller comes from the
fact that the new plane is able to dive
directly down upon an enemy, who is
always in range from the dread ma
chimes guns. =. -. ...-.s. ~
The London Mail devotes consider
able space to the machine in re-
cent issue, illustrating it with draw
ings. British experts say that the
plane is capable of a speed of 100
miles an hour and has the ability to
rise quickly after making drop.
Bullets which happen to hit the pro-
peller blades are turned aside by spe-
cial deviators, but it is estimated that
not more than five or six bullets from
a machine gun ever touch the blades
out of 100 shots. .:...-.... .

Many Improvement Questions
Sure to Come Up: Bond
Issue Message Due

Tonights meeting of the board OF
supervisors will be lively number
of important measures are due TO
come up-more than have occupied
the attention of the board at any one
meeting for some little time,
Lusitana assessment rolls as propOs-
ed by the city engineer will come be-
fore the board for approval. There
will doubtless be long discussion be-
fore their adoption and the naming
of date for the public hearing. Some
of the members of the board have
begun to doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of the
city making a $500 appropriation to
make UP the difference between the
engineers estimate on the work and
the contractors bid.
Manoa Hearing Due.
Public hearing on the ManOa i'm
provement assessments will be held
tonight, but 1t is doubtful if there will
be any contention as the property
owners who have come into the city
engineers Office to examine the roll
have expressed no dissatisfaction.
The mayor expects this afternoon
to have a message to the board rec,
ommending a bond issue Of $750.000
for the construction of a city hall
and the building of belt road ready
for tonight's meeting, but the city
attorneys office is not so sure. A. NJ.
Cristy, first deputy city attorney, de-
clares that he has not had time to
prepare a legal opinion for the mayor
on the matter and doubts whether he
can complete 1t before nightfall.
There are other more pressing
matters occupying my attention just
now" he said. There is no money
in the general fund to pay the ex-
penses Of special election on the
bond question and hence there is no
great rush about it." - 49,. !.
May Postpone One Hearing. .

RUBBER YIELD TO

OVER ESTIMATES
Or. {. C.. Waterhouse Here
From Selama- DingdingS
Holdings in Malaga

Though the estimate Of this year s
yield Of rubber from the Selama rub
Der estate or the Selama Dingdings
Plantations company was for 1850
pounds OF rubber, the actual yield will
run at about 10000 pounds, according
10 the eood news brought TO Honolulu
this morning by Dr. r. c. Waterhouse,
who, with Mrs. Waterhouse and his
daughter-Mi G. Waterhouse, arrived
from the Far East In the Tenyo Maru,
Last year about 1000 pounds OF rub
Der was obtained from a small area
Of new trees, which were not expect
ed to yield at all in 1915, but the
growth was exceptional This years
output will be more than three times
the estimated yield, and next year,
says Dr. Waterhouse, the plantation
will be on paying basis, even II rub
Der should drop as low as 40 or so
cents. There are $4,000 trees on the
1905 acres in the Selama plantation,
which is in the state of Perak, Malay
Peninsula

palms.
"Copra was $3.50 rer picul, when
left, and picul is 1873 pounds con-
tinued- the doctor. This is the high.

conut trees-a few OF them even al

few coconut estates. For 1917 our
copra yield will outrun our estimate

To Stay Here Some Time.
Dr. Waterhouse, who will remain in
Honolulu for some time, and may visit
the mainland before. returning to the
Far East, says that despite the pros
porous times now prevailing for copra
and rubber plantations, there is very
little new land being planted out. This
is due TO the fact that all European

when questioned this morning as TO
his probable action on the matters

from A. A. Wilder's attorney, r. w.

Wilder charges that the contract
is void as it provides such inadequate
consideration as to brand it fraudu-
lent; that it was entered into by
Joshua Tucker, former land commits
sioner, against his wishes and at the
direction of the governor and that the
fact that the land to be given to Metz
ger in fee simple would yield large
porfits when used for quarry purposes
was concealed from the land board.
He declares through his attorney,
that he will bring the matter to the
attention of the national government

is not brought for waste committed on

Mr.. Wilder will be satisfied with that.

GOODYEAR CORDS
MAKE RECORD in
RUN ON MAINLAND
Buick Stock Car Equipped With
Goodyear Cord Tire Beats
Time of Fast Train

A new record OF 10 hours ~ mill
utes was recently established between
San Francisco and Los Angeles by a
Buick stock car. This Is a distance
of 457 miles. and is considered fine
record IN view OF the fact that II
takes the Lark" the fastest train
between these points, three hours
longer TO make the same run over
steel rails and easy grades.
The new Goodyear Cord tires which
were used on this hard run finished
WITHOUT a scratch, and with the same
Los Angeles air with which they
started. The ability OF a car and It's
tire equipment to carry four passen-
gers at record breaking speed over
public highways, for. this distance
without a bit OF trouble should con-
vince the general public that the tire
and automobile OF today has reached
A state OF perfection undreamed OF
three years ago.
This run, on account Of traffic, had
10 be travelled entirely at night The
driver could not pick the road as he
had TO average 40 or As miles per
hour where IS or 20 miles would be
considered fast over bad places.
Again. for hours at time they were
hammering over the roads at so miles
per hour.
"This is but another Goodyear Cord
record" said Harry A. Parker Of the
Auto Service & Supply Company,
Ltd. of this city. THE Packard Twin
Six, when making the cross country
run from New York to San Francisco
used Goodyear Cords and arrived with
Detroit air In the front wheels.
Many Honolulu people have just dis
covered that blow outs and punctures
can be eliminated almost entirely. A
Honolulu doctor has run eight months
son these cord tires and has not had
one puncture. This new tire is diff
ferent from all others. II is made
up Of tiny cords held together by thin
layers OF the finest rubber. This
makes foundation that absorbs every
road shock, rather than resist them
like the fabric tire. This makes pos
sible a reduction In ~the required air
pressure. Goodyear Cords carry Is TO
20 pounds less air than any other
tires, making them the most resilient
tire yet without any damage to the

MOTOR TRUCKS
HELP INCREASE
DELIVERY AREA

Most of Kissers investigations as
to relative efficiency where motor
trucks have replaced horses. result in
revelations that prove the futility OF
comparison, says Fl. S. Daniels or
the Kissel Kar.
What | mean is that trucks are
covering an extent of area, making an
aggregate number OF deliveries and
running a total mileage that was not
attempted by their owners before they
discarded horses.
The Kissel factory periodically
sends out blanks to these owners, in
which a number of questions are ask
ed regarding the service of their We
hicles.
Now the fact of the matter is
and this blank goes to show it-that
many businessmen, formerly content
with a narrow radius of operation,
have with truck equipment gone out
into wider zone and thereby in
creased their business. While they
formerly hesitated to put on more
teams to cultivate these new fields.
they now find they can do ii at a reas-
enable cost. and they are doing 1t.
1T is OF course great argument
for the truck to say that it will re-
place three or foHr horse-drawn out
fits and perform the same amount OF
work, but it is a still more important
fact to a majority of merchants that
IT will double or triple the amount OF
ground covered by one horse-drawn
outfit
