George Nick. Mcclellan, assistant sec
rotary to Delegate Kuhio and the
chambers representative, asking him
to see Secretary Redfield and find ont
if Section Is had to be complied with
by foreign vessels calling here mere.
ly for temporary accommodation. This
morning Mcclellan cabled back that
the secretary seemed favorably dis
posed toward a ruling that compliance
would not be necessary. Hardly had
this message come when Collector of
Customs Franklin received his cable
gram from the department of com.
merce, informing him that Section 13
does not apply in the class of cases
mentioned. Secretary Brown at once
cabled to Mcclellan congratulating
him on his effective work.
Today's ruling means, according to
the custom-house, that tramp
steamers calling at this port only for
bunker coal and supplies viii not be
required to have their crews certified
as able seamen under the Seamen's
Act or to have them take the langu-
age test. -.....-...... f."
Since the act went into effect March
Is on foreign ships calling at Amer
lean ports, much delay and inconve-
nience have been caused steamers
coming here only for bunkers and pro-
visions, particularly Japanese boats.
Section Is of the Seamen's Act, as
it has hitherto been interpreted

port for bunkers or supplies to COM
ply with the act as concerns able sea-
men and the language test before
clearance can be granted.
The section still continues to apply,
however, to foreign vessels calling
here to discharge or load cargo Com
plete compliance with the act will be
required in such cases.
( It is understood that the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company cabled to
Washington for ruling on Section Is.
The corporation sells bunker coal to
tramp steamers of all nationalities
calling here from every important port
in the world, and the act, requiring
compliance with the language and able
seamen's clauses by these boats, has
in several instances resulted in delay
to the boats and good deal of ex.
pense as we'll. >......-.....
The Inter-Island is also said to have
had a representative at Washington
explaining the situation to the depart
ment of commerce. and emphasizing
the need for exempting ships calling
mere only for bHnkers and supplies
from the requirements of Section 10
if Honolulu is to continue to be pat
ronized as 9 port of call as much as
it has been in the past. <..

thousands of dollars justified his con-
clnsions. AS a result. he has reaped
a snug sum in the past few days.
The two tables are published in the
adjoining columns. ...=
To investors perhaps the most inter
esting table is that which shows how
much in dividends the plantations
mentioned can pay out without i'm
pairing their balance at the beginning
OF this year. Segregated from the
other columns, these figures are as
follows: ..:. =.
Eva, with a 1915 cash balance Of
$G9l 200. could pay 80 per cent divi-
dends and keep a 1916 balance OF
$774,6O0. .. ILL.,.
Hawaiian Agricultural, with a 1915
balace OF 1888 600, could pay 80 per
cent and have a 1916 balance Of $685..
72&. -.'.
Hawaiian Commercial, 1915 balance
OF $1,392, 1871. could pay 40 per cent
and have a 1916 balance of SI,417,5 5l.
Hawaiian Sugar, 1915 balance $780,
SO. could pay 80 per cent and have a
1916 balance Of S633,9G0.
Honomu, with 1915 balance of
.S26S,7O0, could pay 80 per cent and
have a 1916 balance of S343,S3S. a.
And so on down the columns as
shown in Table No. 2.
These columns show that McBryde.
with a 1916 balance OF $72 $500, could
pay II per. cent dividends this year
and have 1916 balance OF $562,036.
and that 0laa. with 1918 balance of
$453,903. could pay IL per cent and
have 1916 balance of $1,0II,l03
In every case these large dividends
would not impair last years balance.
according to the figures given. In one
case IL is figured that Pepenkeo could
pay ~ per cent in dividends and have
precisely the same balance as that
of last year. IL

and I believe it is the experience OF

For this reason, and realizing that
the question of fuel consumption is a
serious one, we have adopted sure
way of answering these questions,
which should leave no doubt in the
minds of the prospective buyers

will be glad to show him what IT Will
do fer him. We let him fill the auxil-
larry tank with two quarts of gasoline,
then we take him out to stretch of
country road-diSconnect the main gas
lead and connect up the two quart
auxiliary tank, let the inquirer take
the wheel and speedometer reading
and drive until the fuel is used up.
Then the operation is repeated in
the city through contested traffic until
the tank is again empty.
This convinces the prospect be-
yond the shadow of doubt and with
out our statement as to just what he
can expect in the New Mitchell Model
We don't exaggerate-we don't mis-
lead him-we let him take the car
and make a gasoline economy test of
his own.
1.-THE performance of the car is not
always the same but the average is so
close that we are almost tempted to
make a guarantee as to our mileage
at times.
when a prospect comes in he is
usually skeptical of claims for mile
age, especially in the face of the pres
ent high cost, but when we offer to let
him make a personal test and this test
averages, as it usually does, above 20
miles per gallon on a straight country
road and from IT to Is in the city. his
fear evaporates and we have little talk
regarding gasoline consumption.
ut occurs to me that this method of
resting the burden of the proof in the
hands of the prospective buyer is not
only fair one in considering the man
who is about to invest his money, but
proves a very effective weapon in the
hands of our statesmen. who are always
looking for new methods of ap-

We Have Saved 500

Years ago, John W. Bate, the eff
cheney engineer, was brought to this
organization.
As an efficiency genius he stands at
the top in the Woodworking lines.
He has built here a model efficiency
plant. He has equipped it with thou
sands of time-saving machines. Now it
represents an investment of SIS, ZOO, 900.
He has, in this way, cut our factory
costs in two. We are building the
Mitchell for less than a like car would
cost anywhere else in the world.
And all of our extras - beauties,
1uxuries and conveniences-are paid for
through factory savings.

This certainly is great year for selling
cars Most everybody has had success.
Some more than others, as is always the case.
Chalmers sales are running 900 per cent
ahead of last year all over the United States.
Mr.. Chalmers foresight in doubly provid-
ing against shortage of materials has won
a great contest.
1t has enabled the Chalmers plant to
keep on building cars when one or two
have shut down or others have had to cut
down on allotments to their dealers.
Here it is June and the great Chalmers
plant is running day and night, three shifts,
turning out more cars than ever before.
How long can Chalmers keep filling the
demand?
don't know | know only this: the
plant is turning out about 125 a day Chal-
mers dealers are selling about 425 day.
The only reason l or any other dealer
can supply a car now is because during
December, January and February the
Chalmers plant worked day and night like
Trojans and built about 125 cars day
when the dealers were selling probably only
about 80. Soon these 425-a-day sales are

Avoid Sharp Substances
The difference between the tire
mileage of different drivers depends
quite largely upon the care used to
avoid sharp substances in the road.
A small, sharp cornered stone will
sometimes cut a large hole. Tire wear
also increases in fourfold ratio com
pared with speed. Almost any good
