LACK OF RECRUITS
ALARMSOFF|CERS.
Failure Of Volunteer system

For Consumption


NEW YORK April 2s with tho

ported that only ,l00imen had been
obtained since, and that the quota for
this city, 1000 70 be secured by May
8, now seemed impossible Of attain
ment.
Army and Marine Corps recruiting
officers also reported that results we're
far below what they expected, and chat
conditions seem TO be getting worse.
The mayors recruiting committee

Cortlandt Street yesterday reported

new system was woefully needed.
Since the declaration Of war only
1895 men had been enlisted, and
great percentage Of these men, Il wis
said, would have TO be taught the
rudiments Of sea warfare. The recent
day by day decline in the recruiting
was said to be serious affair.
While filing the gaps in the regular
service has been accomplished to date
with great difficulty, there Is distinctly
different spirit when il comes to fll-

KAIMUN RESIDENTS
STARTLE SUPERVISORS

After considering for two years and
six months various and innumerable
demands upon the city treasury, the
board OF supervisors last night re-
eeiyed q petition that left it breath
less.
Nine residents Of Seventh Avenue,
between Pahoa and Kaimuki Avenues
requested that the board provide them
with enough A-a surfacing material to
put a good top to the road. That was
all. There was no demands for road
rollers (although Supervisor Larsen
said he had promised them one) and
there were no requests for curbing, or
the usual trimmings. The nine resi-,
dents were perfectly willing to get in
and surface the road themselves, pro-
yiding they had the material.
What was better, still, the petition
respectfully set forth that they would
like the material because they had
opened and cleared the road themselves
and now had it in condition for the
surfaeing,
The board drew long breath and
referred II to the road committee.

says the Extension Bulletin issued bv
the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment
Station in Honolulu. II is Thought that
the experience there obtained Is Of shf.
ficient interest TO be worthy Of record.
IL is probable that wider application
Of this method may be profitable. espe.
ciaIly in sections where there is 4 keen
local interest in the maintenance Of
good roads.
The poor condition Of certain sections
of dirt roads in the particular section in
question was the cause Of much com
plant from the people who lived on and
near this road, and the county finally
arranged to allow these local people to
care for the road in their own way.
They were authorized to spend on the
'upkeep Of the roads under their care
whatever was necessary, up TO a certain
limit set by the board Of county super
visors. The use Of road drags has long
since passed the experimental stage and
the county kindly furnished the drags
for use in dragging the roads at exactly
the right time after each rain. In this
way the middle Of the road Is kept high
and properly rounded, the futs are filed
up as fast as they are formed, and there
Is much less tendency to form deep rnts
than under other conditions. II has
been found that to do the best work the
road drags must be used At a certain
time after hard rain, the time depend.
ing ON the extent Of the rainfall. This
work Of dragging the roads can ordi-,
narily be performed before the fields
are ft to enter with team and in this
way the work can be done without
working an undue handicap on the or.
binary farm operations. The interested
people being close at hand, the neeesi
sary preliminary Inspection to deter
mine when the roads are in the proper
condition for dragging makes il possible
to do the work under ideal conditions
which could hardly be accomplished by
county road gangs which must neces-
sarily operate over a wide range Of ter
ritory. This idea has already been de-
veloped in three different sections in
the Islands and has given excellent re-
suits.

AERIAL TRANSPORT
ATTRACTS.ENGLAND
Government To Investigate Mer-
its Of Commercial Fliers

LONDON, April 26--Announcement
was made in the house OF commons to-
day by Maj. John l.. Baird, representa-
tive in the House Of Aerial Advisory
Board, that the Government had decid.
ed to appoint committee under the
ehairmanship of Lord Northcliffe to
investigate civil aerial transport after
the war This, he said, would permit
Of the employment Of the large number
of skillful pilots and the airplanes IN
the hands Of the army and navy, and
the still vaster number Of machines
the construction of which is under way
or planned. Although Major Baird did
not disclose the exact figures, he show
ed that the output Of airplanes had
been increased greatly during the last
few months and that an even greater
increase was expected. Taking the
monthly average output for the last
year as the imaginary figure of eight,
he said, the output for the first two
months Of this year would be repre-.
sented by sixteen, and it was expected
that by the end Of the year IL would
be represented by thirty-eight.

LITTLE JAPANESE LAD
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH

Hitoshi Asuka, six-year-old Japan
csc boy, was drowned about half-past
two O'Clock yesterday afternoon, in
the stream on the mauka side of Kala-
kaua Avenue, just Eva Of Makce Is
land Road. II
The lad was floating about the
stream on a board, in company with
some comrades, and his plank craft
drifted over a deep hole under the
bridge. The youngster became fright.
ened and in endeavoring to paddle his
frail raft into shallow water, capsized
1t and went down in the hole, the water
in which was much discolored.
Hitoshi's little friends waited for
him TO come up, but this he did not
do, and one OF them then ran to q
Japanese house nearby and gave the
alarm.
Immediately a number of Japanese
from the nearby settlement hurried to
the waterside and proceeded to search
for the boy. Entering the muddy water
they CROPPED about with their hands,
as IL they were catching fish. Present
ly one of them grabbed one of the
boy Is legs and the body was taken out
of the water and carried ashore.
Several boy scouts who were nearby
started in to resuscitate the lad, but the
Japanese would not allow them to do
this, and, taking the body from them,
went about the work Of revivifying the
body after their own crude methods.
Some soldiers who we're passing and
who noticed the clumsy work done by
the japanese, descended from the road
to the streamside and, taking matters
in their own hands, did all in their
power TO rekindle the spark Of life in
the tiny form, but II was too late,
though their efforts did once cause the
body to CULVER slightly, indicating that
had the proper measures been taken in
the first instance, the life Of the little
boy might have been saved.
when the ambulance arrived, Ia res
poase TO call the boy was dead and
J the body was taken TO the morgue.

There Must Be a Market

he authorities are continuing to urge the
planting Of vegetables. s
The Advertiser has Supported and viii continue
to support these EFFORTS of the authorities 1t was
early pointed out BY The Advertiser, however that
concident with such advice it was absolutely nee
essary that provision should be made providing for
marketing the material which will be produced in
response to such advice, or else there would be
glut OF vegetables
Those who are producing for their own con-
sumption only can stand this; but to those who
are producing for livelihood glut means dis
aster if not complete ruin.
The condition foreshadowed by The Advertiser
is already here.
Al few weeks ago, onions were SO high-priced
that they had sivery taste and were sold at so
much apiece. s4 sa
One man, who is producing onions as part OF
his regular business has now sent fifty cases to
the Territorial Market Mr.. Longley the super
intendent states Dat while little smaller than
the imported onion they are sweeter and Of bet
ter quality.
Notwithstanding this fact onions are being inn
ported in quantities from Australia and California
and selling for three and one-quarter cents
a pound vi
There is no more serious question before the food
commission today than the situation illustrated
by the above statement.
H.
the market has been obliged to cut the price one
half cent pound and even then, the local onions
are refused by the local dealers, and the market
is peddling them out by the pound and cannot
move them even on that basis.
II market cannot be assured for produce IN
such limited quantities as fifty cases OF onions, at
this early stage OF stimulated production what
chance is there for any planter TO sell his produce
at profit after the scores and hundreds who have
IN good faith followed the advice OF the authorities,
get to sending their produce to market!
One remedy is for the food commission to begin
now and promote campaign in support of the
local consumption of local produce. II local peo-
pie will agree to first buy local onions as long as
they are available, that agreement will go long
way toward solving the problem.
Another remedy is for the market division to
run live ad in the newspaper calling attention
to what they have for sale that is cheap--onions
for instance. .

Obligatory Calls.

1t is not only a civility. but a So
cial necessity. when one has served
as bridesmaid, maid of honor,
usher, or best man, to call upon the
brides mother shortly after the
wedding, and upon the bride direct
IL after she returns from the honey
moon. The guests at a home we'd
ding reception or breakfast must
call in due course on the brides
mother, and alter the bride. 1t
is an obligation to call on ones
hostess after a dinner, breakfast,
a musicale, or luncheon. But for
men as we'll as women, the dinner
call is of paramount Importance. 1t
is paid within q fortnight after the
dinner, and whether the invitation
was accepted or not. When a din
ner or ball invitation is declined, and
no call is made afterwards, a hostess
has every reason to feel offended.
and to accept the slight as a sign
that her friendship and hospitality
are not desired. Only very igno-
rant or i'll bred persons pursue such
a course with a view to dropping an
undesirable acquaintance. If one
wishes to drop an acquaintance, one
should carefully pay the required
call, and then let the interchange OF
visits cease. A hostess who is heed
full of all nice social observance will
take pains to call upon a new ac-
ouaintance before offering her any
hospitality and she will also be care
full to call or leave cards on wo-
man not of her acquaintance, ia
whom she has been asked to give
an invitation. particularly If the
stranger is the guest of or a relative
of good friend. However, both
of these obligations are reversed
where the would be hostess is a
much older woman than the lady she
invites TO her house. and under such
conditions the call is obligatory.
