another outpost was fired on from am

THE UNWRITTEN LAW"

Tomorrow at the Majestic thea
ire, THE Unwritten Law" in which
Miss Beatriz Michelena is starred,
will be shown. THE Unwritten
Law is based on the play by Ed
win Milton Royle, author of The
Squaw Man." and is presented by
powerful cast which includes Will
liam Pike and Andrew Robson.
The Unwritten Law is a seven
part photodrama adapted from Ed
win Milton Royle's stage success
of the same title. In it the Califor-
mia Motion Picture corporation has
achieved the masterpiece of its pro-
ducing f-cilisies. The story is
wholesome and big and develops
through breathless suspense to
one of the most thrilling climaxes
ever attained in motion picture art
Advance synopsis of it here is
inadvisable and would detract from
ones later pleasure in seeing it,
since much of the interest of the
development of the plot on the
screen hangs on thread of mys-
terry and surprise that is spun out
with clever producing touches, to
the very end of the story

Long Distances

Chihuahua City, Mex, July 3o.-A de-
tailed report received by General Ire
vino from General Ramos, at Es-
Gallon, covering operations in the Chihua-
hua-Durango bandit campaign of the last
month, said that the inability of the
government mounts to stand the strain
of the long distances covered in the chase
enabled Villa several times to escape the
net of Carranza troops.
Ramos said that Villa lost much pres
tige at the Cerro Gordo, Chihuahua, en-
gagement. when. with so men of his per-
sonal bodyguard, he deserted the remain
der of his command and fled towards the
hills for safety.
The dispatches pointed out with obvious
satisfaction the death of Pablo Salinas,
former Villista leader in the Laguna dis
trict, who early in May was charged with
attacking Torreon train bearing several
American women refugees.
Ramos added that he had received over
lures from a number Of leading Villistas
looking toward their surrender. Ramos
said there is no doubt that Villa is in
the canyons of the Penoles district. The
expedition which he dispatched to pursue
the band had not yet reported but dis
patches were expected at any moment.

By RICHARD b. LUssIER

A BUSINESS man spoke rather
~ enthusiastically the other day
n of the manner in which The
Age-Herald handled it's motion picture
news, and how he thoroughly enjoyed
reading it every morning, as it whet-
ted his desire to see a picture at the
lunch hour or in the evening.
But the afternoon papers also carry
some movie stuff was the answer.
We'll, it's wasted there, as the only
excuse for an afternoon paper is to
furnish dramatic headlines for the
busy business man.
Now, in a morning paper it is diff
ferent. In the morning paper 1 read
everything, even the excellent wom-
ems page, and enjoy it. In fact, a
morning paper is an institution that
we could not very well get along
without And thus, as l tell you my
opinion, 1 will also state that mo-
ton picture managers display wisdom
in advertising their programmes ex-
clusively in The Age-Herald. Else

Of
UNCLEAN MILK
SUPPLY HERE

I As the result of complaints which
| daily are being received from consum-
( ers both in Honolulu and at Aiea and
Waipahu. A w. Hansen, federal pure
food commissioner, has dropped all
the other business of his office to in
vestigate what is reported to be an
unusually poor milk supply, the main
contention of those who have COM
planned being that the local product is
unclean.
Mr.. Hansen has found that the pres
ent bad weather is largely the cause
of the poor supply; and also that, in
some instances, diaries have failed to
see that their cows and the hands of
their mixers are clean. One of the
most general complaints is that the
milk does not keep any length of time,
but sours shortly after being deliv-
cred.
Mothers have complained 10 Com
missioner Hansen that their babies
have become sick as a result of feed
ings of the milk. These reported
cases of illness, however, may or may
not have been directly due to the
milk, says Mr.. Hansen.
Better weather May Help.
By personal Investigations and ex-
aminations, the office is endeavoring
to get at the seat Of the trouble. Bet
ter weather may lessen the COM
plants, it was reported today.
In the report which he is preparing
for presentation to the board of
health, Mr.. Hansen comments on the
milk Situation &c foIIoWS-
During the month we have had a
great many complaints in regard to
milk. Some of these we're that the
milk was dirty. The most common
and frequent complaint. however.
has been that the milk could not be
kept. but soured quickly.
1--WE have found that there has been
good cause for many Of these COM
plants. The unusually wet weather
that has prevailed lately has made it
extremely difficult to produce clean
milk. At such time in particular is
the dairyman menace to public
health who is not careful about having
the udders of the cows and the
hands of the mixers carefully cleaned.
To my mind the principal cause of
our present serious difficulty with the
milk supply is careless milking
The office is now working with a
view to having the dairymen first of
all give more attention to the .cleanli-
ness Of both cows and mixers.

people the necessity for the tariff
en- sugar. 1t also shows the conf
dence of people in the production Of
sugar beets in the United States If
We have adequate protection for the
industry"
That the United States now pro-
duces one-fourth of all the sugar con-
sumed in this country, was stated by
MIR. Nicholson, who said this includes
the sugar produced in Hawaii.
IF the growers Of sugar cane and
beets we're assured of staple tariff
protection there is no question in my
mind but that in five or six years the
United States would produce at least
half of the. sugar they consume" he
declared with slow emphasis, and in
10 years, twothirds."
Mr.. Nicholson explained that as sug-
ar beets. grow best only in semi-arid
regions requiring an artificial water
supply, the amount of land located IN
a climate which could give the beets
the requisite saccharine content is
limited by the quantity OF water
available for irrigation.
Touching on the tariff Mr.. NichOl-
son said he is for protection. He
stated his views on this live topic as
follows:
Cuba Could Double Output.
1T is absolutely essential that a
tariff of at least a cent and a quar-
ter to a cent and half be maintain
ed on sugar for the reason that Cuba
is not, under present conditions, pro
ducing more than so per cent of what
she is capable of. If Cuba had free &C
cess to American markets her cheap
labor and climatic conditions would
make it impossible for American
growers to compete successfully with
the Cuban grower"
Figured on basis of $4,000 acres
Of sugar beets to each of the five
new factories which are to be built
in the western states this year, there
will be 10000 acres of sugar beets
added to the existing acreage, Mr..
Nicholson stated.
The talk switching around to thai
eVer-present topic, preparedness, Mr..
declared Hawaii should
have fleet sufficiently large to pro-
tect the islands from invasion. Il am
a strong believer in a very, very.
strong navy" he said at should be
of sufficient strength to protect our
shore lines everywhere, including the
Hawaiian islands. If we do not pro-
vide navy big enough to do this, we
are falling short of cur duty to the
American people" -
