AEROPLANEs IN PEACE AND IN WAR.

Every day we hear much about The work
of aeroplanes and daring ~aviators in the
war. All this is quite interesting, sometimes
thrilling, and we all know that the hying
machines have been useful on the battle
fronts; but there are many who would pre-
fer to hear about useful aerial achievement
of a peaceful character, indicating a grow
ing utilization of the aeroplaue III trade and
transportation
violence of such utilization in u new way
came to light a few days ago in the answers
of the President of a company that makes
~aeroplaues to the questions Of n friend
who could not see that The field of the
flying mach pes peaceful work was be-
coming broader. A banker Interested in
a mine made almost inaccessible by
mountains that surround it has decided
that %aeroplanes must be used there to solve
the transportation problem. With his minds
eye he sees the air wagons carrying workmen,
tools, aud supplies to the mine and carting
away the valuable ore. and he has asked
the company 10 give him price estimates for
ten machines, each of them able to carry
three tons Of freight. II is said TINT the
price for ten will be 5000, 600. We may add
that Oh the day when his project VS. dis

~" .-.. October Is, 1916.
Editor, Honolulu StarBu1letin.
Sir: Reading in your issue of last
Friday, October Is, 1916. an article
on page of said issue entitled, "Uku-
lele Given Recognition in u. s. Off
cialdom," and knowing that things
mentioned therein were erroneous, |
thought would ask of you permits
sion to use small portion of your

First of all, if you. please, would
ask as to where Mr.. A. p. Taylor got
his information from regarding uku-
leles. .....~. ..- H.. ...,.... ..-...s r i.
|, the largest maker of ukuleles here
and who alone won the gold award
for ukuleles at the Panama. Pacific In
ternational Exposition held at San
Francisco last year, had never met
Mr.. A. P. Taylor with reference to my
output. :~ -. T.. - Xxi.
Mr.. A. P. Taylor had the number of
ukuleles made here monthly too low
when he said that 1900 of these in
struments are being made here month
ly, as my output alone exceeds that
number. -
| believe that all the makers here
make more than 5000. instruments
monthly I am preparing to increase
my output to 10000 instruments
monthly within a year if l. can Sc
cure enough koa lumber to turn out
that number In fact, believe that
within two years from date my output
will be $4,000 monthly. In fact. it will
be an easy matter for the Hawaiian
makers to supply the demand that will
come to them if they can secure
enough seasoned .koa lumber for their
use . -. ."'r. f.. 80. -. =: III
The credit for putting the ukulele
to the front and making it popular
rightly belongs to me as it was |
who exhibited the instrument at the
Panama Pacific International Exposi-
, ton both in the Hawaii building and
the Liberal Art Palace with the assist
ance. of six musicians beside myself.

with their instruments, advertised
them and made them popular. About
two months ago read in your paper

ing the ukuleles popular to the pro
motion committee by the work they
did at the exposition. | was at the
exposition almost the whole OF last
year but did not hear of any work
which the Promotion Committee did
to make the ukulele popular.
It's always best and proper to give
