So acCaughey Tells Ad Club

Following the reading by President
W. r. harrington of speech written
by Arthur A. Dole of the Husband K
Thomas Advertising Agency of Chi
Oago, relative to the development o.
the consumption of pineappIes on the
mainland, Professor Vaughan Mac
Caughey of the College of Hawai-
spoke Of the unexpected publicity
values of many elements of natural
history in the Hawaiian islands.
MY own observation is that the
data pertaining to anything in nature
as revealed in Hawaii is either too
superficial, or else too technical for
the average person to enjoy q.
Taking the islands as whole, we
should not be satisfied with saying
that the volcano Of Kilauea is wonder
full, but we should go further and en-
large On the fa2t that the study of the
floor of the ocean surrounding Hawaii,
considered along with the topography
of the Islands, gives absolute evidence
that these islands at one time many
geologic ages ago were part of great
Southern Pacific continent of which
Australia was the nucleus.
Floods Bound TO Recur.
Don't be satisfied with the mere
external beauties of the lao valley on
Maui" continued the speaker. Learn
that this valley takes the form of a
great amphitheater of erosion, the
mechanics of which brought on the
severe foods Of several months ago
in that region, which floods are bound
to recu- at intervals. .. .s-
Please don'S call Haleakala a crat-

Of far greater Importance than calling
it mer sly at crater. s-r -
We should never rest content when
we speak of the island of Molekai as
the leper island. True, they have a
leprosarium over there; but it is con-
fined to very small peninsula. Take
the whcle eastern end of the island,
and by studying the contour Of that
region and the ocnfguration of the
ridges, you will discern that Molokai
is only one-half OF a great crater. the

So confident are many local sugar
men of stable future market for Ha-
wallis principal export commodity
that they are not only not concerned
oyer the amendment to the original
Kitchin free sugar repeal bill, but are
even pleased thai it contains pro-
vision for free sugar beginning III
1920. H.
This threat Of eventual free sugar,
declare a number of those, interested
in sugar, as well as several brokers
who keep their ears close to the
ground, is not really menace to Ha-
wall. but will merely serve to keep
mainland sugar beet interests from
too great an expansion of their IN
dustry. il. s.~>4
As Far Off As Tipperary.
The year 1920, point out a number
of men who will not be quoted, is a
long way off. and -egsii though the en-,
tire world should be at peace by that
time the governments expenses will
probably still demand revenue from
sugar. Others profess confidence
that before 1920 the Republicans,
staunch advocates of protective tariff,
will again be in control at Washing

Ny idea may not be IN accord with
the majority of sugar men here" says
Mr.. Waldron, but would just as
soon have it this way (meaning free
sugar in 1920) because by that time
the United States will be just as
much in want of revenue as the coun-
try is today, and in the meantime the
beet-sugar industry on the mainland
will not go ahead as much as If the
duty on sugar were repealed altogeth-
er. Capitalists are not going to put
up million-dollar beet sugar refineries

Repeal Still Possible. 49,.
That the old Kitchin bill, providing
for absolute repeal of the free sugar
clause of the present tariff law, may
still have a chance in the opinion of
Georg Rodiek, yice-president of the
Sugar Factors. "The probabilities are
that the old Kitchin bill still has a
chance to pass" he says, when it is
brought before the conference COM
.mittee." .".<.. .
When asked for his views on the
situation, E. F. Bishop was not so
