ENLARGEMENT OF
REFINERY WILL
BENEFIT HAWAII
Increases of Crockett Plant
viii Mean Freight Saving on
100000 Tons Annually

Capacity for the daily handling OF
400 tons more Of Hawaiian raw sugar
Is to be added to the refinery, of the
California and Hawaiian Sugar Rein
ing Company. This determination Is
reached as the first result Of the
visit OF George NJ. Rolph, general
manager Of that company, and the
consultations which he has been
having with the Sugar Factors Com
pany and heads Of sugar companies
here. A brief typewriter announce
ment was handed to the papers here
by Manager A. NJ. NOVEL; shortly
before o'clock Friday afternoon.
This statement says:
Decision Reached Thursday.
AT a meeting of the Sugar Factors
Cmpany, Ltd, held on January rs,
the recommendations of George M.
Rolph, general manager of the Cali.
fornia and Hawaiian Sugar Refining
Company, for the enlargement Of the
sugar refinery at Crockett, California,
were approved.
Will Cost $2,5oo, 900.
at was recommended by Mr.. Rolph
that the capacity Of the refinery be
increased from nine hundred tons to
one thousand three hundred tons Of
sugar per day. 1t is estimated that
II will take two years TO complete
this improvement, and that the cost
will be approximately $25O0,000."
Much Savings on Freight. .
Chief importance Of the announce
ment attaches to the saying which
this will mean in freights on raw
sugars from the islands, for the
added capacity of 400 tons will re-
move the necessity of shipping that
quantity to the Atlantic seaboari.
In the course of the year this will
be upwards of 100000 tons and 1t, is
readily seen the saving, which will
result will run high into dollars.
Less directly it helps to solve sthe
shipping problem since less will 60
via the canal and by the all.water
route to the Atlantic seabeard as well
as less going overland from San
Francisco by mail. The Crockett re-
anery can then handle about Is per
cent of crops Of the size, Of last year
instead OF so per cent as at present.

George M. Rolph added the fol-
lowing statement to that made by
the Sugar Factors Company: :. !:

to start work. said Mr.. Rolph; "and
there will be no delay. The enlarge
ment that will be- done Is part of
work planned. as far back as 1913.

HAWAIIAN DRAMA
next THURSDAY

After weeks Of patient Iehearsals
the Royal Dramatic Club has nearly
perfected the Hawaiian drama to be
given at the 0Lera House next Thurs
day evening. Umi-a-Iiloa, tie story Of
the old-time peasant prince Of the isl
and Of Hawaii, is the vehicle chosen
for presentation
Sixty people take part in the cast,
which includes, besides the principal
characters of the play, warriors. kalihi
bearers, hula dancers, and the general
court retinue. Hawaiian customs are
faithfully Reproduced In every detail.
They have been studied out with in
finite care and pains by the members
Of the club, who have searched rec
ords and histories and questioned
those who are left Of an older genera
ton in their zeal for knowledge and
accuracy. The play Is produced in
English, with the exception Of a few
meles and songs which have been left
in the Hawaiian language as more ap-
propriate. q
The hula, delight of the malihinis,
Is shown In its own proper form and
place in the court scene of the second
act, together with a number Of old
Hawaiian songs. At the end of the
act comes q contrast. when the dirges
and the wailing mourn the sudden
death of the king. A number Of mu-
steal numbers. old and new, fill the
entire acts.
Real tapas will be used in some OF
the costumes, which are historically
correct for the time when the action
Of the play takes place, in the middle
of the seventeenth century. Where
scarcity Of the real article will not per.
NIT the use of genuine tapa an imi-
tation has been made so successfully
that the difference is not perceptible
even a few feet away.
: Each scene VIII have the atmos.
phere Of old Hawaii in the long-sgo
days before the haoles came. The
first shows a typical Hawaiian home
of the humber class, in contrast to the
elaborate setting of the kings court
in the second act The other scenes
show forests and an ancient heiau,
both from within and without The
play will be given next Thursday
evening, February /. Tickets are now
on sale at the Territorial Messenger
Service.

Do you remember your first love az
fair. your first serious one, of course?
You were seventeen when it occurred.
and the object of your affections was
exactly your own age, a classmate, in
fact.
And you loved with love that kept
you awake all night and caused you to
dream all day. 1t was an impersonal.
above-the-earth kind of love. 1t set
you apart from your family. 1t en-
feebled you mentally and physically.
You did your tasks so inadequately
that your mother despaired and your
father concluded that he was the par
ent of a sniveling defective. You were
impervious to insult. You loved TO
hear your name coupled with that OF
your beloved, and yet-the beloved was
so much too good for you that you
never thought of letting your love pass
your lips. Never did the loved one
dream Of your love!
And when you were eighteen you
gazed in wonder at this former object
of your admiration. How could you
ever have imagined you loved anyone
as unattractive, as stupid and altogeth-
er unlovable as that So do the years
change us i-Delineator.

He met Viola there and was at once
smitten. He was old, penurious, crafty
and Viola disliked him intensely. 1t
was only after several visits that Viola
realized that his smirkings and atten-
tons were the advance couriers of
proposal of marriage.
"Your father is dead, perhaps" he
told her one day. Il must have my
money or you"
"Meg' exclaimed Viola in amaze
Inent.
Haven't you suspected that am in
love with you?" grinned the old skin
flint.
"You-you speak Of what is impos-
sible!" faltered Viola, and after that,
whenever he called, she had her aunt,
who was the family housekeeper, meet
him.
One day, however. Bayne insisted
that he see Viola personally. He was
ugly to the point of ferOcity when she
received him coldly.
II shall proceed to foreclose on the
property unless my interest is paid" he
announced.
81 am sorry" fiuttered Viola meekly,
''but unless my father returns"
HE will never return" grOwled
Bayne brutally. "He is dead long since
and you may as well make up your
mind TO it. See here, you had better
be sensible, unless you want to be
beggar. I'll give you thirty days TO de-
eide TO become my WIFE"
THAT will never be!'' affirmed Viola
Indignantly.
'Then 1 shall turn you out in the
streets"
And the thirty days were nearly past,
and, but for the faithful love OF Julian,
she would have been crushed utterly.
OF all this Julian was thinking as he
strolled down the village street. he
had q problem to solve, he felt, for he
was not in condition financially to
care for wife as he would have liked
to do.

IF father were only here! If I only
knew that he were alive and well ~
sighed Viola Bliss.
I'VE can only hope, dear. If he is. /
fear it will be sad homecoming. He
was caught in the direct war zone in
Belgium, as we know. He wrote that
he had made large investment. If so,
1t must have been loss, for the sec
ton he was in has been totally devas-
tated."
Her loyal fiance, Julian Morse, strove
TO comfort her and partially succeeded.
His manner was grave and thoughtful,
however, as he left the Bliss home. He
did not impart TO Viola all that he
thought. To his mind, Doctor Bliss had
not only lost his fortune, but his life,
in the mad whirl Of war.
Once only since the letter arrived an
nouncing a great investment and an in
tention TO return home, had they heard
from him and then indirectly. A box
had been received bearing many for
eign transit tags. No letter arrived to
explain why it was sent. When Viola
came TO open it she found six framed
oil paintings. They were mere daubs
and she wondered why her father,
connoisseur in matters of art, had sent
them. They were stored in the garrett
and a letter expected explaining their
shipment, but none such appeared.
Then there had arisen another com
plication. Doctor Bliss was a virtuoso
in certain lines. He went abroad regu-
larly, being a man of comfortable
means. and took considerable money
with him, usually returning with an
tiquitieS which he resold TO museums
and individuals at a good profit. This
last trip he had mortgaged his home
for a large amount, informing Viola
that he had promising speculation in
view which required large cash out
lay. The mortgage had been made out
in favor of one Andrew Bayne,
money loaner. When the first interest
came due, Bayne visited the Bliss home.

There is a tide of perhaps two feet

Freedom from the insect life that
makes the shores unbearable may ac-

about their recent vaccination that
