In an effort to put an end to the
importation of Japanese fish infected
with worms and beetles, Food Com
missioner A. W. Hansen is working
with officials at the custom house and
has begun carefully checking over in
voices of goods received here from
Japan
Hansen says that considerable
amount of dried fish OF the cod or had
dock family reaches here from JAPAN
infected with syernin of this sort.
Sometimes the bugs are moving
about and sometimes still in the un-
Matched stage hidden away within
the sides of the dried fish.
Samples which the food commits
sioner has in his office contain large
quantities OF the pests which may be
found by simply breaking back the
flesh of the fish.
I'VE intend toy work at this from
both the territorial and federal stand
point" he says, ito see if we cannot
stamp out such Importation entirely.
II is probable that the dried fish is
only a carrier of eggs when it starts
on its trip here, and that the worms
and beetles develop en- route or after
reaching Honolulu"

BOARD FAVORS
PAYING HALF ON
-KALAKAUA AVE.

That the majority of supervisors Is
in favor of paying half the expenses
of laying a temporary track on Kala-
kaua avenue was ascertained by a
canvass of the board.
According to the engineers, the ex-
ira cost will be $4,000 and the ques-
ton to be settled is whether the SUI
pervisors will pay $4,000 or attempt to
make the Rapid Transit pay it all. The
city attorneys office has declared that
il is Illegal to pay any OF the money.
William AHA and Robert Horner
are the only members OF the board
who believe that the attorneys advice
should be followed, the other five be-
ing more or less willing to appropriate
the $4,000.
II was pointed out by one
member that the time set by the
Rapid Transit for the delivery OF the
rails was. of course, the maximum,
and as it is practically two months
before the work can legally start, and
as the construction of the makai
side-which will be done first-wiIl
take several more months. il is very
likely that by the time they are need
ed the rails will be here.

SUGAR CHEMISTS
VALUE TO HAWAII
NOW RECOGNIZED
Horace Johnson Tells Students
of College of Hawaii How
Profession Has Progressed

tSpecth star 'buietin CorfeSpondeaeo1
COLLEGE OF HAWAII, Oct. IL
AT the ASSEMBLY OF the students OF
the College OF Eawaii yesterday the
address was delivered by Horace
Johnson, supervising chemist OF C..
Brewer 4 Company's plantations. who
spoke CT the Profession OF the Sugar
Chemist.
He told the students that at one
time the sugar chemist had no import
ant place ON a plantation. The pre-
else amount of knowledge required
then was almost elementary, and IL a
chemist said he thought there was too
much waste in the mill, What do you
know about machinery" or What do
you know about sugar." was the
answer.
Nov. however" Mr.. Johnson said,
the sugar chemist is appreciated.
There is a demand on the plantation
for a Young man who can handle and
control the different operations In the
manufacture of sugar. He must have
knowledge OF the machinery used:
he must be able to ana,yze fuels, soils.
waters, etc.
after graduation do not fool your
self as to what you know. The big
gest crisis for student comes In the
period between graduation and
actually acquiring the practical
knowledge. He must learn TO put his
theoretical knowledge to practical
use. and the one way to do this Is TO
learn everything about a mill. Learn
all about the kind of machinery used,
then see how good it Is. Make out
complete data hook showing the capa-
cities OF every tank, the types OF
pumps, etc. Keep records of all re-
suits obtained.
"In my experience with young men
going into mill work, as rule they
have good theoretical knowledge, but
their weak point is in the interpreta-
ton OF results. A young chemist may
report to the manager the exact re-
suit OF certain analysis to one hum
dredth of a per cent; but in industri-
al chemistry that Is not all. After
your analysis you are not half through.
You must know and use practical IL
lustrations The manager does. not
want ~ lsnoM the analgsig e . aErnp
as much as he wants to know the real
value in dollars and cents,
another extremely important quail
ification for chemist. and one that
is most necessary for a successful
sugar chemist, Is the proper attitude
of mind toward your men and those
with whom you are associated. The
man who treats the ideas and sugges-
tions of others with consideration
makes allowance for the welfare OF
his employees, and who instills the
spirit of good will into everything he
does will be- the successful sugar
chemist"
This afternoon Dr. and Mrs. Dean
will hold an informal gathering on
the campus of the college between
and $50 p. m for the purpose Of meet
ing all the students. 1t is their In
tention to have the members OF the
board of regents, the faculty and the
students get to know each other and
spend a pleasant afternoon together.

HAWAIIAN MUSIC
ANDDAhGINGIA
EAST RIDICULOUS
A. P. Taylor Says Both Will Fall
Unless Something is Done
to Change Conditions

Hawaiian music and dancing are
riding TO a fall" said A. p. Taylor
secretary OF the Hawaii Promotion
Committee, today. This is what al
fear unless something is done to
change the conditions of things on the
mainland at present. z
Hawaiian music as II is composed
and sold here by the local publishers
is Hawaiian music at its best and nc
one will have any apologies to make
for the quality, but the managers OF
the East have changed much of the
spirit of the songs, and as result
Hawaii is not going to benefit by it.
'Managers of vaudeville companies
and cafes always seek for the punch
and the Hawaiian songs are interpo'
lated to such an extent that they verge
on the ridiculous. Hawaiian music
has made q success, because II is typi.
cally Hawaiian. and the vaudeville ef.
fects weaken it. Managers are prone
to get all that is possible of the music
and the original music is Outlines dis
torted.
"This Is true In dancing as well as
In the music, and the hula has been
made into iioochi-koochi by many
of the producers in the East. AS the
hula is danced in Hawaii it is pretty
and accompanied with proper music
has been big feature of the life mere,
but the mainland producers have often
made the variations which have
proved to be ridiculous.
when George Angus was in New
York he went to Maxims, where Ha-
waiian orchestra was playing. The
music had been changed, and very few
people paid any attention to 1t. Angus
asked the boys II they would play one
OF the real Hawaiian selections, and
as they played the diners paid atten-
ton, and when the piece was conclud-
ed the crowd encored for several min
utes. This is proof that the real mu-
sic is wanted In the East"
