END OF Cement
SHORTAGE is
NOW in SIGHT

That the condition of cement short
age here is fast clearing UP and that
within a month the builders and con-
tractors win have all the cement they
need to carry on their work, is the
good word received today by +. F..
Cyc,er, chief engineer for the Lord
Young Engineering Company from
San Francisco. Ever since the long
shoremen's strike at San Francisco
cement has been scarce here and
work that ordinarily would have been
finished long ago Is being held up.
Work on the Beachwalk improve
merit will begin in about a month or
rs soon as the cement arrives and
&c same is true of Lusitana street.
which could be completed in two
weeks if the supplies were here. Work
on the King street extension is pro-
crossing rapidly and should be finish
ed in two months.

OUR TRADE IN MUNITIONS.
From the New York Times.

new s
Many believed, few weeks ago, that the demand
from the Allies for munitions made in factories
was surely declining The number of new orders
was very small In the stock market the prices of
the shares Of the socalled warorder companies
depressed by this belief by the advance of the Allies
on both the east and the west fronts-because this
promised to shorten the time during which mum.
tons would be needed-and by the approaching
new taxes, which would reduce our manufacturers
profits. Little weight was given to the purchases
Of great quantities of steel by England France and
Italy, or to Russas large orders for railroad sup
plies. But there is now new movement in the
munitions trade. 1t is less than three weeks old.
Quite noticeable and significant is the change in
character of the desired product which the new
orders for munitions show. The Allies are now
buying here only the large shells, those known as
s, s, 8, or II inch. They are making at home all
the snaller shellsthey need. Their supplyof these
is the fruit of that remarkable Industrial develop
ment, especially in England, which has been the
subject of statements recently made by Lloyd
George and Others and which, as Sir Hilbert Parker
said last week. has enabled the British factories to
produce now in two weeks quantity larger than
the entire British output in the first year of the

GOOD BUSINESS AND CHARITY.

Roger BabsOn is the man who writes articles on
monetary theories and such similar practical sub
jects for the Saturday Evening Post and other pa
pers
He cannot be charged with sentimentalty When
Babson writes, his articles notable for common
sense of the sort which appeals to the oftlauded
"hard-headed businessman"
Recently he wrote:
Statistics show to concusvely that this whole
socaIled love others" is mostly buncomhe or mis-
judgment Instead Of talking charity, we should quit
our hypocrisy and take definite stand that certain
things good business and that certain things are
not good business.
Natures greatest law, the law of equal reaction,
teaches clearly every word thought Of
reacts upon ourselves either hepfully or harmfully
according to whether it helps harms others.
In economic language this means that one nation
permanently be secure and prosper only as other
nations obtain security and become prosperous. In
everyday language this means that there cannot be
sellers without buyers and that bargain is good for
neither party which is not good for both parties.
The only way the United States can retain its pres
ent period of prosperity the business and the geld
which have eorraled In this country is by building
up the prosperity Of other countries Hence believe
that the popular idea of patriotism is largely mistaken
and very shortsighted s.>.t ill.,. ~..- 49,.
There is good deal in what Roger Babson says,
and it may be applied to many community charities
Without questioning the motives of large phian-
thropists, without disparaging the good example
they set and the fine work they do, it is unqueston-
able that systematic, intelligent, vigorous cam
paigns of education in graduating the causes of
e.peyerty vice, appressios degeneraey ignor:
ance and kindred ills are more effective than indis
crimnate gifts to charity. Support of institutions
which strike at the root of disease which teach pee
pile how to live clearly and wholesomely is construe
tive benevolence of the most useful sort.
Something like fair opportunity for independent
livelihood must be given an entire population. Thh
means education of the hand and of the brain Nc
people can become or remain great people wherein
large element is dependent on charity or suffer
ance for employment and support. ...

manufacturers have excited public comment not all

These facts, relating to the production of the
smaller grades of munitions must be borne in mind
in this country. But for a considerable part OF
their supply of large shells the Allies must come to
us. And shells of this kind they are now buying.
Consumption of such material in the British and
French offensive has surpassed all expectations.
From both sides of the line there has been cOntinu

say that for every German shell there have been two

SEPTEMBER II, 1916.
HONOLULU STRIDES FORWARD.

Manoas ceremony this morning as ground was
broken for the new paving project marks more than
district improvement eyent-it marks the triumph
Of the ffontage-tax system in Honolulu. r II
This sysfem and the local assessment principle
Of which il is a part have been assaed with con.
tinuous and bitter vehemence in political, munich
pal and business circles 1t has been assaulted from
the sturnpspeakers yantagepoint, in Improvement
club meetings in supervisors, meetings and through
countless communications to the press. But it has
won out because ii is the right system the modern
system.
One board of supervisors of 19131914-
Allowed two years 10 pass without contributing to
- Improvement OF city streets through application
OF the law passed for that particular purpose. 1t
was a Democratic administration and in its cam
paign for reelection tried to win favor with the
electorate by fighting the frontagetax system. The
people promptly Fepudiated this blow in the back
at law of the territory. The failure of the 1913
1914 board to take progressive stand in the execu
tion of the frontagetax law will always be regarded
as chief drawback TO an administration which ac-
complsled considerable good in other directions.
The present board was slow in getting behind the
new law That is admitted by some of IFS mem,
bers But to the credit of this board it should be
said that once it had mastered the principles of the
dHu pOsSlUilItles,
yisors became not only strong but notably stanch
supporters. They have felt their way slowly but
they are taking no backward steps-nor any side
steps, either, in these later days.
The law has been tested in the courts and found
sound; found progressive; found available for Ho-
Modulus needs In the Lusitana district, in the Ma
noa district and I'M the Beach Walk district it is
being put into actual operation. That it will be
q success there is no question. Undoubtedly some
defects will be found in it and several amendments
likely to be offered at the next session of the
legislature, but as a whole, the law is admirable.
1t embodies the experience of other American cities
with improvement work to be done of virtually the
same character as Honolulu must do. 1t is being
modified and moulded to suit local conditions.
The thief and rather intbFnhaa ceremony with
which the Manoa district impfosehent was launched
Is the triumph Of a correct and modern civic idea
over prejudice shortsighted politics and fac
tional feeling 1t is the triumph of progress over
obstruction. 1t is the triumph of a sound and
equitable method of financing distinctly local inn
provements the outworn pork barrel" methods
Of the past. Now the property benefited must pay
its proportion of the cost The general city funds
will not be called to pay district improvements.
They will remain for city expenses more properly
chargeable to the taxpayers as a whole
Honolulu has made big stride forward in city
improvement and every resident, every taxpayer,
may congratulate himself and the city that the step
IS made.

The combustion of alcohol is almost
perfect, anc there is no SCOT, no smoke
and practically no odor. 1t readily
mixes with water and is thereby easily
extinguished by water. 1t contains
less heat to the unit than gasoline,
which fact is compensated by there
being less of its heat lost in the waste
gases. .'~tl
The genius who might think up the
method of manufacturing alcohol for
the Industrial trade, at about IL cents
per gallon, must also be encourage
by the fact that alcohol can be made
from everything of a vegetable nature,
especially from molasses, and We have
any quantity of that commodity here.
