Mead Unusual Amount Of oil.

For some time past according to
reports, international trains arriving
in Holland from Germany were found
to run very noisily and to be in need
of more lubricant. Investigation by
the Dutch railroad officials revealed
the fact, it is said, that the lubricant
containers on the trains from across
the border had been emptied Of oil
and grease before leaving Germany,
where lubricants are now scarce, or
else were provided with just about
enough to carry them into Holland.
After this discovery the Dutch guards
saw to it that they did not supply
more than enough oil and grease TO
carry the trains back over the bound

Anatomy From Experience.

The former big league baseball man
ager, who had been canned because
the team finished last as usual, was
taking a civil service examination in
order to secure a political job. He
was amazed at the list Of fool ques-
lions on the examination paper. He
didn't know the distance from the
earth to the moon, so he passed that
one up. And he could not describe a
syzygy. so he called that test a loser.
But the third question interested him.
1t said:
"Name the largest bone in the hui
man frame"
And with a grin OF confidence the
former manager wrote this answer:

CAREFUL ATTENTION TO cow
Animal Brings In Regular Returns In
Dairy Products-No Farmer Can
Afford to Neglect Her.

Cows require regular and careful
attention. There is work in keeping
COWS and giving them proper attention.
But they bring in regular returns in
dairy products and cash and no farmer
can afford to neglect cows.
What would it mean to individual
farmers and the country if every home
had as many cows as it requires to
supply the table with milk and butter?
Perhaps none of us realize what it
would mean. 1t would certainly give
more cash from the animals and crops

ALARM THAT WAS NEEDLESS
Themselves Without Cause over
Subject of Food Supplies.

The days of waiting for the word to
mory at New York we're touched with
the pathos and humor which accom-
pany high-tension times. On the eve
of entraining when the mothers had
begged and wheedled in vain for adj
mission at the front door of the
armory, they flocked to the Lexington
avenue side, the back door. Here they
surged at full tide.
AS a heavy truck backed up they
shifted the strong odor of coffee. The
wagon was piled with sacks of it. One
of the mothers turned a sorrowful face
to her companion.
'What Everyone of those bags full
of coffee?" she asked. "Oh, dear Cot
fee makes Alfred so nervous he can't
sleep a wink"
Then came an enormous bread wag-
on following the coffee load into the
baked bread fioated through the over
wrought group.
"All that fresh bread?" queried an
other mother. "You mean warm bread,
Just out of the oven? Well, can see
where Herbert is sick right away. If
there is one thing he can't eat it is
new bread"
She borrowed a pencil The mes

JUDGE OBJECTS
TO CONDITIONS
OF CITY ROADS
C. F. Clemens Holds "GroSS
Indifference" Endured From
Public Service Corporations

What might be termed gross indit-
ference to the rights and comfort OF
others is endured by some Honolu-
lans from certain local public service
corporations, according to letter
which Charles F. Clemens, judge OF
the local United States court, has writ
ten TO the Star-Bulletin. .:...
The letter reads as follows:
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
'Sir-There is no denying that we
are we'll served by our public service
corporations. There are some ways,
however. in which We endure from
them what might not unfairly be call
ed gross Indifference to the rights and
comfort of others, and indifference to
the tidiness and good order of our
streets For instance, the Honolulu
Gas Company digs up the street and
refills the excavation so inefficiently
as to leave bumps (rather depres-
sions) that all automobiles must re-
spect or suffer damage, constant an
noyance. There is a characteristic
bump of this kind on Nuuanu avenue,
just above School street whether
caused by the gas company's opera
tions, | know not, but do know of
plenty of other bumps of their max
ingl. And lately gas pipe has been
laid on Nuuanu avenue from just be-
low Queen Emma park to beyond the
entrance to the Country Club, and
the street has not been returned to
anywhere near its former condition
far from IL. So inadeQuately was the
work done that within a week the re-
fill had sunk to below the street level
in most places, and across the emit
rance to Puiwa road is depression
that is equsled only by the depression
and nerve-soreness of those who have
to cross it frequently. And not only
that, put the curbing along Queen
Emma park, the pride of the Outdoor
Circle, has been left in most untidy
condition by the company whose vice.
president and director is the husband
of the president of the Outdoor Cir
Gle (if indulgence in personally"
may be excused, just to show how in
consistent we are, how impractical we
are, how literally we carry out the
Biblical precept not to let our right
hand know the doings of our left.
And, further the dirt left in front of
and near the car station at the end Of
the Nuuanu car line Is disagreeable
source of mud in the present valley
rains. Quo usque tandem abutere,
Catilina, pate'ntia nostra"
Il only wish, not of course from any
unfriendliness, but from the action
that would result in no time, that the
Puiwa road bump were opposite the
entrance to the home OF the president
of the gas company, and that the other
annoying conditions mentioned were
so distributed among the other di-
rectors of this public-service corpora
ticn as to promote further activity in
the nature of reform. The gas COM
pany is not the only, but perhaps the
most frequent offender.
Yours for practical public service
and everyday civic betterment,
CHARLES CLEMONS."
