POPULARITY OF UKULELE
KEEPING HAWAIIANS BUSY
for This Musical instrument in
United States.

The vogue of the Hawaiian ukulelc
in the United States has resulted in
making the manufacture of that muSi-
cal instrument one of the important
industries of the Hawaiian islands in
the past few months, says one of Tn
Gle Sans representatives. in llOnOlu-
In. At the end of August, 1913, manu-
facturcrS were turning out about 800
or 600 instruments a month, while Il
year later the output had been in
creased to 1000 month and the de-
mand from United States music dr;s-
ers could not be met.
There are eight principal manurac-
turcrS of ukulcles in Honolulu, with
scattering of instruments coming
from small makers in the other
islands. Each manufacturer has
turned his small workshop into fac
ing the plant as rapidly as possible.
\ company recently was organized in
Honolulu with plans to manufacture
from 1000 to 1000 ukulclcS per month
with improved machinery, the work

The originator of the ukuclc, II
Portuguese who is now head of Il man.
ufaCturing company, is still an active
worker in his own factory and turns
out about 700 instruments per month.
Another Honolulu firm produces about
400 month.
The Ilawaians and Portuguese of
Hawaii claim that the instruments
made by them, especially of koa wood,
are seasoned ana properly prepared.
The higheSt-priced products are hcav-
lily beaded. The tone is one of the
most important items in the ConStruc-
ton of the ukuIelc, and the Iawaiians
and Portuguese claim that this is OBJ
tanned only with the use of properly
seasoned koa wood and proper attcn-
ton paid to shaving the wood ana fit
ting il.
The plans of the new companies
forming. and of old factories being en-
larged, will give an output close to
1900 per month, or 10000 per year

The people Of the United States

The porch sils, steps and the tim

prevent decay which occurs most read
lily in such damp locations where there
is poor circulation of air. Even the
railroad which crosses one corner of
the pasture shows a good penetration
of creOSote in the cross ties on which
the tracks are laid. The wood blocks
with which the barn is paved also
have their share of preventative treat
ment.
Although the effects of the crcoSote
treatments are AT first sight inconspiC-

the result of efficient utilization which
decreases the waste of energy CON

Antitoxin is not only an almost PER
