RECKLESS DRIVING
NOW ON Decrease
Motorists Themselves Exert
Strong Influence by
Browning on Speeding

Reckless driving and speeding, ac-
cording to Sales Manager Lowery, Of
White Brothers, local bort distrib-
utors. are decidedly on the decrease.
In a few years the speeder and reck-
less driver will be as much thing
OF the past as the old chain-drive au-
tomObles and hot plug ignition Of the
late 9O's. Mr.. LOwery says. Tho man
who insists upon driving his car
around corners at thirty miles an
hour and making pedestrians scamper
every time he appears on the street
is no longer being tolerated. The big
city has already dealt with him with
out gloves There motor policemen
are constantly on the lookout for him,
and II he doesn't live up to the traf-
&c and speed regulations, he is given
a chance to explain il TO the Judge
next morning
The big city has no sympathy with
this type OF driver, nor should the
smaller centres tolerate him, either.
Then there has come about even a
stronger influence than regulation by
law. and this influence is growing
daily il seems TO consist in q gem
eral growth Of opinion among motor
lists that this kind OF driving is no
longer the thing TO do" Motorists
are frowning upon their fellow-drivers

EXCESS MILEAGE FOR
''NODDY" tread TIRES

The regularity with which letters
have been received recently by the
United States Tire Company commend
ing their tires for excess mileage, proves
the truth of Cannon Ball Bakers claim
that few other tires could have stood
the severe road conditions to which he
subjected them in his remarkable trip
across the continent
A letter recently from Oklahoma
states that a "Nobby' Tread on sec
ond hand Hupmobile which had run
6,0O0 miles when the owner bought it
gave $4,000 miles more service, and tina
without a puncture.
Another letter says that the chauffeur
of the Governor OF Michigan has run
more than 10000 miles on a set of
"Nobbys' and feels certain that this set

Endurance Proved

That was the last question-this one of endur-
ance. In all other ways it has long been evident
that the Super-Six stands supreme
Never has motor of this size shown anywhere
near such power Never was an engine made to
match this in smoothness. Never has a stock car
recorded equal performance-in hill-climbing,
quick acceleration or speed.
Handsomer cars have never been shown. Finer
engineering is simply unthinkable, with Howard E.
Coffin at the head of this department

1919 Miles in "a Hours

An Endurance Record Never Matched
by Any Travelling Machine

No man today-if he knows the facts-doubts
the Super-Six supremacy.
At first the truth seemed like a romance. Think
of one new invention, applied to a light six adding
80 per cent to its power.
Then official records began to pile up, certified
by the A. A. A. The whole motoring world then
had to concede this the greatest motor built.
But many men asked What about the endur-
ance? Can motor so flexible, so speedy, so
powerful, stand up in years of road use?"
So we asked Ralph Mulford to take a stock
Super-Six chassis and, under official supervision,
show the world its endurance.

ARMY OFFICERS
COMING TO KAUAI

General Robert K. Evans, COM
mander of the Department of IIa-
waii, U. S. Army, will arrive on
Kauai tomorrow morning and will
remain here until Saturday. He
will be accompanied by his aide de
camp, Lieut.. Hornsby Evans, and
by Major Chas. s. Lincoln
1t is stated that the trip is merely
for pleasure, but it is understood
that the General would like to see a
few OF the Kauai companies at drill
and meet the officers.
Information n hand does not
make it clear as to whether the party
will land at Nawiliwlli or go on
to Waimea. 1t is assumed, how
ever that Nawiliwili will be the
place, particularly as Colonel Broad
bent will be a passenger from Homo
lulu by the same boat.
Some function will most likely be
arranged for the commanding gen
eral, but Just what, when or where
will not be decided until Colonel
Broadbent returns tomorrow.
General Johnson was detained at
Honolulu on other matters and
could not accompany the party.
Under h heading General
Evans will inspect Kauai militia"
the Advertiser Of Monday morning
said:
To look over the Island of Kauai
from a military standpoint, Brig
Gen. Robert K. Evans, command
ing the Hawaiian department, to-
gethcr with Capt. Hornsby Evans,
aide, and Maj. Charles S. Lincoln
in charge of militia affairs, will
leave tomorrow for practically a
weeks stay.
This will be General Evans first
trip to the Garden Island. Major
Lincoln who has been twice on Ka-
uai before, will play the part of
guide to certain extent.
1t is probable that the officers
will be entertained during the week s
visit by officers of the Kauai guard
regiment, the Fourth Infantry.

All of the candidates for nominal

a whirl last week through the towns
on the Hanalci side of the island
and were everywhere re, eived with

On Monday afternoon at 3 O'clock
a meeting was held at Wainiha, at
which all of the candidates made
brief announcements. At I O'Clock
that evening a meeting was held in
the old Hawaiian church at Hama
lei. At 3 o clock Tuesday afternoon
meeting was held at Mahikoa's
place in Kalihiwai and that evening
at 7 O'Clock the spccch-making was
in front of the store in kilauca.
Wednesday evening a rousing meet
ing was held in Kapaa, and Friday
night the big meeting in Lihue, re-
ported elsewhere.
A feature of the tour was that the
very best of feeling prevailed among
the candidates, although some OF
those for the house are competitors
for nomination in the primary.

REPUBLICANS At
THE L|HUE> HALL

The candidates for nomination on
the Republican ticket for the Legis-
lature appeared before mixed
audience in Lihue Social hall Fri
day evening. H. D. Wishard, chair
man of the Board of Supervisors,
presided and A. G. Kaulukou Off
ciated as interpreter. An orchestra
OF Hawaiian musicians supplied the
usual essential in the intermissions.
, In his opening remarks Chairman
, Wishard stated that each speaker
would be limited to fifteen minutes,
after which he introduced Chas. H..
Wilcox, candidate for the House.
Mr.. Wilcox stated that he was
not public speaker. He was a can
didate for the House of Representa-
tives in response to sence OF duty
as a good citizen. He had no bones
to pick in the Legislature; no axes
to grind. He wanted to go there to
see that the money of the people
would be expended in the proper
way. Mr.. Hughes states that he is
not looking for a political future.
The speaker was also not seeking
political advantage. M r. Wilcox
called attention to the other candi-
dates seeking votes at the primary,
and dwelt particularly upon the
long and splendid record OF J. ii.
Coney in the Legislature-conclud-
ing this part of his speech by say
ing that if the audience voted for
him (Wilcox) he would also prefer
that they vote for Coney. From
that point he made an appeal to
the effect that no small or personal
grudge be permitted to influence
voters. The Democratic candidates
were nominated already. They had
no opposition. With the Republi-
cans there were more candidates
than places to be filled. in conse'
ouence of which they were fighting
between themselves. He requested
his hearers to vote Republican il

SCHOOL COTTAGE
GETS A SOAKING

1t is not often that it rains at Elc-
Gle, but when it does the rain is
very wet. The school cottage roofs
there are evidently constructed on
the open-work, hour-sieve plan
which is admirable for ventilation
but very detective for keeping the
rain out.
\ few days ago found the cot
tagcrs in a state OF topsy-turvy chaos,
in the vain endeavor to gather
Things together in dry spot. There
were lakes on the floor, and ponds
in the chairs; the rugs were rolled
up into dykes to restrain the adj
vancing floods, and the only safe
place was the dining table where
one perched high and dry with an
umbrella overhead, like Noah's ark
on Mount Ararat.
Despite the inconvenience and
discomfort the teachers took the ex-
perience with a pleasant, smiling
equanimity, as all in the days
work in a semi-civilized country
like Hawaii.
