.HONOLULpS STREET PROBLEMS
MUCHLIKE Those OF Other CITIES

for the original Improvement has
propouuded this question:
II the city has authority to force a
property owner TO pay for the i'm
provemeat Of a street, does not the
property owner retain therein suffi.
ejent equity TO require mat the city
force contractor or corporation TO put
IL back in as good condition as when
IL was torn up!
Two lawyers to whom the question
has been propuunded have answered
in the affirmative. Yet this citizen
is not anxious to go TO court. He is
one of those individuals who believes
that city officials, sworn to do their
duty, should see that rights of prop
erty owners are safeguarGed without
being forced to act under threats of
law.
Most certainly the system is de-
fectiVe. Property owners deserve
credit for the vast improvements
made in the last five years. Sacra.
meBto has a right to feel proud of the
spirit displayed.
Put these citizens should receive
encouragement and cooperation from
the officials who administer affairs
of the city.
A definite plan along this line
would go, long way toward solving
the problem:
= l. Write specifications to insure
the highest type of street.
g Require contractors to guaran.
tee streets for period of at least
five years
g. Insist that all pipes should be
laid prior to street Improvement. No
street should be permitted to be torn
up short of five years.
g.. Provide a proper system OF in
spection Of all streets to insure pro-
per maintenance Small defects re.
paired al once will save streets from
costly improvements later on. II.
5. Employ some system that viii
insure the proper city official being
advised beforehand of every inten-
ton to tear up street. Inspectors
should remain on the job and see
that there is no delay in making the
repair and that the street is put back
in the same condition in which the
contractor or corporation found it.

PROBLEMS Of
Church FORM
sermon TOPIC
DR.. William Henry Fry Delivers
an Interesting Address to
Methodist Congregation

Some CT the problems Of the modern
church formea the topic Of an interest
ing and instructive address delivered
in the First Methodist church Sunday
by DR.. William Henry Fry, superin-
tendent of the Methodist missions in
Hawaii Doctor Fry recently return
ed from an extended tour Of the main
land.
Doctor Fry pointed out that, with
the spread of religion there has come
a closer sense of brotherhood that is
binding nations together He contin-
ued, in part: *....
The development of the church
is the outstanding miracle of the
ages, Standing in the midst of his
terrified disciples and under the very
shadow of the cross Jesus said AS
my Father sent me so send you The
result of this command brought the
experience of Pentacost with its 5000
members and little later 5000 more.
We may not be agreed as to what
constitutes the problem of the church
Some doubtless think that If We can
just get a man converted We have

the Oriental in Hawaii has not ended
when We induce him to give up his
.religien-if he ever had any-and &C
cept ours. He must be taught the
right relation between male and fe-
male, parent and child, citizen and
state. These people are here by our
invitation and We have not done our
duty by them until we make 1t pos
sible for them to earn their own live
lihood in terms of industry and hon.
or. The old cry was let us build up
the church. but the new one is let the
church build up the community
chureh's Real Problem
THE duty of our local church in
this community is to promote evangel-
ical Christianity and lend itself to our
local missionary problem. What we
need is not less activity but more
piety, not less law but more love, not
less preaching and singing but more
righteous personality on two legs. The
real problem of the modern church is
to build the principles of good will and
neighborliness into all the human re
lations of life The church must prove
10 the WOTiQ lHdl tue OILY IHlHS HOIIu
having is a heart that loves. 49,. Il
When we glance at the world and
its happenings today We can see that
the nations of the world have not been
preaching gospel of love. Has Eu-
rope done it? Or have they preached
the gospel of the biggest army, navy
or bank account. Recount the tragedy
Of Mexico and Europe and we are
forced to conclude that the most I'M
Delling thing before US in recent years
has been struggle for adventure.
Let US preserve the genius of our
national ideals and hold to the things
in which our greatness lies but let US
be bound together in one blessed bro,
therhood. The church must proclaim
this to the world, for if she doesn't,
who will2 The very genius of cur
Christianity is seen in its ability to
do this very thing. The world has not
learned Christ's lessons of brotherli-
ness and the PRINCIPLES of good will.

Southern Bellies of Long Ago.

The Southern woman's highest goal
of achievement was to devote her ma
ture years to the comfort of her fam
lily and friends and the culture of her
children. 1t was destiny that de-
manded intelligence, judgment, indus
try, poise, courtesy, forbearance and
social accomplishments. Hence,
should fortune call her to conspicu-
Gus place in the great world, she was
ready. Equally as she shone at
home, she was prepared to shed
abroad a light that was not of land
or sea. The peculiar charm that
emanated from her presence was a
mystery to the unintiated. Her gen.
tleness, not far removed from imperi-
Gus dignity her sudden flashes of wit
from out a scabbard of convention
atty; her clinging dependence upon
men, a dependence that mimicked
command; her Difference to mascu-
line superior wisdom that modestly
vieled the riches of her own we'll
stored mind, were causes of wonder
to those who were not in the secret.
The limpid current of the Southern
bellies life, ripping gracefully above
the glistening pebbles of firm char
acter beneath, fascinated the curiosity
of the uniformed. To reconcile the
seeming contradictions of freedom
and restraint, of strength and weak
ness, united in the same lovely per-
sonage, to understand how the luxu
riously reared creature could, when
tested, rise to top heights of heroism,
nothing more is needed than to recall
the source from which she sprang.
An explanation is readily found in
the patient endurance of her pioneer
foremothers and the bold prowess of
her cavalier forefathers. The fine
nature of the Southern belle had been
moulded from the tempered metal of
sires who starved at Valley Forge,
died at Germantown, scaled Kings
Mountain, wrought the military mira
Gle of San Jacinto, stormed Chapul-
tepec and laid low British insolence at
New Orleans.
The typical Southern belle held, con-
sciously, in trust for humanity all her
gifts of beauty, grace and wit, all
her culture and accomplishments, her
daintness and refinement, to be un-
sparingly used for her family, her
community OF her country at their
need.-Octavia Zollicoffer Bond, in
Southern Woman's Magazine.

Worlds Largest Industry
Hos D|QnCn h F|uId0

There is a business firm with
headquarters in Chicago, which has
18,441,O36 customers listed on it's
records. 1t deals in commodity
the value of which is never questioned.
Altho it has not attempted to secure
competitors except it's own record of
yesterday.
This firm has branch offices in ev-
cry State and Province of North AM
erica, including Cuba, and West In
dies, and Hawaii.
1t employs 200 paid workers on full
time, but so popular is the enterprise
that, together with branch offices,
it commands the services of 100000
others throughout the continent with
out remuneration.
It's branch offices, in turn, deal
with 1852 smaller organizations, each
with its own official staff, and these
units have direct communication
with the public thru 1865 retail
establishments with a corps of $780,
739 efficient helpers.
Under the auspices of this firm, an
average of 1926 efficiency conven-
tons are held every month of the year
in as many different sections of the
North American continent.
The product of the organization is
so choice, and it is needed so much in
foreign as we'll as domestic fields, that
its manufacture which is not patent
ed has been duplicated in the utter
most parts of the earth.
What is this great organization,
and what is it's product? 1t is the
international Sunday School Associa-
ton, and it's product is Christian Char
acter.
In Florida it's representative is the
Florida Sunday School Association:
its General Secretary is R. c. Weld
er; its office is in Jacksonville, and
throughout the state it is busy help
ing EVERY SUNDAY SCHOOL to
produce the best possible output in
Christian Character.

New Orleans of Yesterday and
Today.
Gainesville, Fla.
January 20, 1916.

A wonderful old city is New Or
leans, a marvellous new city-her past
romance in tints of rainbow hue,
| her present a promise in signs I'M
erring of industrial, commercial and
literary greatness!
| With fascinating glance we scan the
quaint, old-world charms of the New
Orleans of yesterday, her historical
places teeming with stories of love
and adventure, he cities of the dead
entombed above ground, her open
sewers, her Incompatible restaurants,
her winter carnival of pure fund and
frolic. But with mixed feelings Of
10y and sorrow we note the changes
in the new city.
Yet, under the spell of the roman
Ger, we may still call from out the
misty, vanished past the gay French
man.. the dashing Spaniard, the dar-
ing buccaneer, and the old-time Gre
ole! When, like true pilgrims of Ro-
nance, we wander at random through
the old French Quarter, the Vieuz
Care, can we not find them leading
their varied, happy lives of ease and
plenty in the gay city as of wore!
And have they not one and all been
immortalized by the. novelists and
poets of New Orleans, caught, spirit
wise, in the magic prison of the writ
ten page!
But if aristocratic Espanade, the
Southern boundary of the old Creole
citv, is one of the most UNIQUE and
picturesque streets in America, st.
Charles Avenue, in the garden dis
trict of the new city, is one of the
most lovely in oil the world. Here
we find houses spread wide to the soft
air and sunshine and set graciously
in the midst of green lawns, and fair
gardens. Here are Towering shrubs
and spreading trees. Here luXuriant
palms shade the banquettes, and ev-
erywhere tropical wealth of fronded
greenery and rich bloom make of this
favored spot of earth a veritable sum-
mer land of sunshine and of flowers.
The air is heavy-laden with the odor
of sweet olive, Jasmine and oleander,
and over all the "sky is so softly
beautiful, so purely clear in its i'm
mensity. that it makes one dream of
the tenderness in woman's eyes made
infinite!"- Rebecca Edwards Jones, in
Southern Woman's Magazine for Feb
ruary.

grease and what is left in the frying
pan is carefully saved for the next
time. 1t becomes rancied and false
economy uses it over and over. Do
such things happen in your kitchen ?
Probably not, but watch and see for
yourself.
The rich juices of meats are smoth-
cred by this grease and much of the
nourishment is lost. Fish, oysters
and many meats and foods must be
fried in grease, but there is such a
thing as too much even of grease.
But what's the matter with grease in
food, too much of it? 1t is difficult
to digest. It must be broken up be-
fore it can be digested by the secre-
tons from the liver and the pancreas.
The process is slow and an excess of
greasy substance in the food imposes
an unnecessary burden on the diges-
tive system, resulting in a general
sluggishness of the entire physical
body and finally in permanent disa-
bility.
Feeding is a good deal of science.
Some one once said that the way to
a mans head lies through his stom-
ach. Certain it is that along the
same route lies the health, the normal
activity and normal development of
the child. It's up to the mothers of
Florida to see this route is not beset
or clogged by the ignorance of care
less negro cooks.-State Board of

Watch Potato Blight.

! Potato blight is one of the most
dangerous diseases with which the
grower has to deal. It works swift
| ly and surely for the destruction of
the crop. 1t is fungus and conse-
quently finds warm, moist weather
conditions most happy. 1t blights the
tops and may rot the tubers. Under
favorable conditions it will wipe out a
crop within a few days.
This dangerous disease can be con-
trolled surely, according to DR.. c. D.
Sherbakoff, associate plant patholo-
gist to the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, by timely and thor
ough spraying with any good fungi
eide. Homemade bordeaux mixture,
4:4:50, is the best material, but ow-
ing to the high cost of bluestone, cop
per sulfate, some growers may not
want to use it. Pyrox, proprietary
compound, apparently containing some
Iarsenates, and which is probably bor-
deauX paste, is also a fairly good
fungicide, although it is probably not
so efficient as homemade bordeaux.
Ammoniacal solution of copper car
Donate is efficient but it does not stay
so long as or stick so we'll as the bor-
deauX. 1t is made by dissolving 5
ounces of copper carbonate in 3 pints
of 26 degree Baume ammonia. This
is diluted to so gallons with water.
The chief consideration in choosing
a spraying material is the cost, and to
some extent the labor. With present
prices of copper sulfate, growers may
have to use one of the other materials
previously mentioned. The ammonia
cal solution of copper carbonate re-
quires more frequent application than
the bordeaux, owing to it's lesser adj
hesive properties.
1t is advisable to begin spraying as
soon as potatoes are 5 to 7 inches
high. Repeat every other week.
Keep the new growth covered and re-
place the previously applied material
which has washed off. 1t is advisa-
bic to spray after rains and often
during rainy weather.-Statc Agricul-
tural News Service.

The Johnson Windfall.

If Matilda Bracket hadn't been
helping Mrs. johnson make over her
black silk for the third time when Ez-
ra brought home the letter from the
Alaskan official, Rollinsville wouldn't
have learned quite so quickly that the
Johnsons had fallen heir to anywhere
from two to five hundred thousand
dollars through the death of their un-
Gle, William Johnson, in Alaska. But
the fact that Matilda Bracket was
there, and that Mrs. johnson, in her
excitement, forgot to close the door
of the dining room where Matilda was
sewing when she read the letter aloud
to Ezra in the kitchen, enabled the
town to get the news almost as soon
as the Johnsons themselves; and of
the whole sixteen hundred members of
the community who gasped and Won
dered over it, probably no two were
more amazed and astounded than
Martha and Ezra themselves, espe-
cially Ezra.
"But | thought Uncle William
johnson died of yellow fever down to
New Orleans, more'n thirty years
ago." he insisted, when Miss Bracket
had finally departed, and he and Mar
tina had an opportunity to talk the
matter over more fully.
eve never had any proof that he
did, excepting what Lige Perkins
said when he came back from there;
and everybody always said that Lige
Perkins was the biggest liar that ever
went unhung."
81 don't know what he'd lie about a
thing like that for. Besides" his
gaze went back frowningly to the I'M
familiar superscription on the envel-
ope. II should of thought he'd said,
Mrs. Ezra Johnson instead of Mrs.
Martha Johnson
"It's mighty funny we haven't
heard anything of him in thirty
years."
Mrs. johnson clattered the dishes in
the sink impatiently. "Land of love,
Ezra johnson! A body'd think you
didn't want to be left fortune! What
would he tell them his niece was Mrs.
Martha Johnson, of Rollinsville, CAL
ifornia for it it wasn't me? There's
no other Martha johnson here, and
there's no other Rollinsville in Cali
fornia that | ever heard of. But any
way we'll know quick enough after
we get the proofs that he wanted.

Bible so we can make 'em out soon

MOVING PICTURES.
My They Appear to the Eye as One
Continuous Photograph.

Motion pictures depend for their sue
cessful operation upon the physiology
cal phenomenon known as persist
ence of vision IT, for instance, a
bright light is moved rapidly in front
of the eye in Il dark room it appears
not as a spark, but as line of light
A so called shooting star produces
the same effect.
This result is purely physiological
and is due to the fact that the retina
of the eye may be considered prac-
tically as a sensitzed plate Of rela-
lively slow speed, so that an image
impressed upon it remains. before be-
ing effaced, for period ranging from
one-sixteenth to one-seventh of Sec
ond, according to the idiosyncrasies of
the individual and the intensity Of
the light.
So it will be seen that if number
of pictures are successfully presented
to the eye they will appear as single
continuous photograph, provided the
periods between them are short enough
to prevent one of the photographs be-
ing effaced before its successor is pre-
sented to the eye.
Ii, for instance, series of identi.
cal portraits were rapidly presented
to the eye single picture would ap-
parently be viewed, or if we presented
to the eye series of photographs of
moving objects, each one representing
ment. the movements themselves would
appear to be taking place. This IS the
principle of moving pictures New
