vessel soon earned the name of The
Mystery Ship" Her purser was
abundantly supplied with funds and
made a trip to Honolulu and back. for
which he offered no exclamation. This
trip and the general mystery resulted
in Byron Baird, then Hilo deputy col
lector, being ordered to search the
ship. This he did, but reported that
she had no munitions OF war aboard.
Later developments showed that
suspicion OF the ship was not without
foundation. She had left San Fran
cisco intending to meet the gun-run.
ner Annie Larsen which was to sup.
ply her with a cargo of munitions for
transportation to India, so it was al.
legged. The Annie Larsen still figures
in the India plot case. The Maverick
failed TO meet the Annie Larsen at
an agreed point off the coast OF
Northern Mexico and she came to
Hilo for supplies and to try and get
tuto communication with the Annie
Larsen. After two weeks in Hilo, the
Maverick cleared for Java, the Annie
Larsen in the meantime being seized
for violation Of American neutrality
laws. When the Maverick reached
Batavia. Java, she was interned by
the Dutch government. The MAYER.
ick's captain is reported to have made
his way back to GERMANY. He has
since been killed aboard a submarine,
it is said.

NO AMERICAN GOLD ON
STEAMER TENYo MARU

Not an ounce Of American gold was
exported on the Tenyo Maru, the
T. K. K. liner which is passing through
Honolulu today on her way back to
the Orient. This is the first trip for
a long time on which the ship has not
carried quantity of gold for the
Orient, says Purser T. C. McCombe.
Exports OF gold to the Orient have
ceased since the President placed up
on this metal an embargo. The T.
K. K. boats passing through Homo
lulu formerly carried millions Of dol
lars worth Of gold for. Japan and
other countries Of the Orient on every
trip. .-..--.-.

drug PEDDLER
IS FINED $500

Police Judge Harry Irwin, who is
striving to prevent Illicit traffic in
opium and cocaine, this morning sen.
fenced All Ping, Chinese, to pay a
fine Of $500 and costs. This is said
to be the "stiffest" fine that the new
district magistrate has imposed upon
defendant charged with peddling
the drugs.
All Ping, according to police, is not
a novice at the game. He has been
before the court on several occasions,
and with the imposition of this fine.
it is believed that others who are
plying this trade ray discontinue it.

PLANS TO ship
Chinese EGGS
TO TERRITORY

Eggs from China may be placed
upon the Honolulu market, according
to E. Block, the egg magnate OF
Shanghai, who is passing through
Honolulu today on the T. K. K. lii.rr
Tenyo Maru, on his way back to his
home in China. Hearing that eggs
in Honolulu were selling for around
IS cents a dozen, Mr.. Block this
morning decided that he would look
into the matter and consider making
shipment to Honolulu.
Eggs will be selling for 81 dozen
on the mainland before long" stated
Mr.. Block this morning. In China
eggs are selling for about 80 cents
a dozen. ! have shipped them to
Honolulu before. but since war mas
sent the freight rates from SIS on II
crates to between $50 and $50 have
not sent many eggs across the
water"
Mr.. Block smiled when asked how
many eggs he handled a year.
About 1000, 000?" he was urged.
"Oh, not quite that" he replied.
Eggs shipped from China are pre-
served In the same manner as eggs
shipped from California. They are
produced on many small farms
through China where the same varie.
ties of chickens are raised as in the
United States, according to Mr.. Block.
Several gears ago Mr.. Block
shipped eggs to the mainland and they
billed up without being sold. They
we're finally seized by the federal au-
thorities and burned, making what
was then the biggest omelet in the
world" ....* -.

ScaIloped Tomatoes.

When making common stewed or
scalloped tomatoes, always add a
slice of onion and a Glove or two. You
will find it makes all the difference in
the world in the taste. We slice both
ripe and green ones into half-inch
slices without peeling, dip them in
flour, brown them in butter then lay
them on hot platter, and surround
them with sauce made by pouring a
cupful of milk or thin cream into the
frying pan, first shaking in heaping
tablespoonful of flour and stirring I'M
til blended with the butter juice. Stir
the sauce until smooth and rich, and
season with pepper and salt. This may
be served on toast as main dish for
lunch.-Ladies' World.

Cracker Puffs.

Split six crackers and soak them for
half an hour in cold water. They will
be twice their usual size. Take them
out with a skinner, being careful not
to break or crack them, and place them
in a buttered pan, the inner side up.
Butter tops of crackers and place in a
hot oven. The oven must be very hot
or the crackers will not puff. In half
an hour they should be we'll pulled and
brown. Serve them with any kind of
stewed or pressed fruit with whipped
cream If desired but they are nice
without the cream.

YOUR GARDEN
By (. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

About the middle of August SOW
seeds of mignonette, putting four or
five seeds in each pot. Cover with a
thin cloth after watering well and
keep the cloth moist until the seed
lings appear.
Save two seedlings and keep them
growing until they are in six=ineh pots.
These should bloom all winter. Give
the stalks support.
During August and September plant
cyclamen seeds in shallow boxes or
pots. Give them a gentle heat and a
light, sandy soil. These seeds ger
inmate slowly and when the seedlings
ere large enough to handle they should
be transplanted TO pots and placed in
a bright spot away from the sun.
Be sure to SOW seeds of the follow
ing perenniais early this month: Pan
sizes, columbines, English daisies, and
larkspur. The following biennials
may be planted before the middle of
the month: Foxglove, sweet william,
hollyhocks. Canterbury bells, Iceland
poppy, primrose, and wallflower.
All these biennials should be pro-
tected against the alternate thawing
and freezing of winter. They must
be transplanted to their permanent
homes in September. The wallfower
must have protection during the win
ter.
Cyclamen raised from seed is a slow
process, taking 16 months instead of
six months the bulb takes. You will
have plenty of blooming plants for
Christmas If you order the bulbs now
Seeds of primrose can be started in
a good garden soil with plenty of fine
leaf mold set in a shallow pan that
has good drainage. Plant the seeds on
this surface and sift over them a dust
ing of soil and cover the pan with q
piece of glass. Keep the plants wet
by setting the pan in pan of water
Do not let the sun shine directly or
the glass but put the pan in good
light.
Dig your lily beds two feet deep
have them we'll drained and made
light with some leaf mold. Place q
bulb or two of Madonna lilies in q
six-inch pot and place it in the Dor
der and in about six weeks time take
it up and place 1t in a sunny window
and you will have lilies for Christ

SYRUP Of figs FOR
4 CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseatng,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do The children's revolt is well-found-
ed Their tender little "insidesY are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs. It's
action is positive. but gentle Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it: that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs, which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

TEACHING THE HILDREN
ABOUT FLOWERS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

one OF the Things tHdt wise ola IOlR
of many generations have repeated is
that If child be taught until it is
twelve years of age 1t doesn't make
much difference who has the subse-
quent handling, the direction of the
mind will be fixed and the career
pointed. This truth is shown in no
way better than In the development of
love for flowers and for the garden.
Country folk imagine that children
in the big cities have no trees. no
grass and no flowers. Quite the re-
verse; They have the benefit of see
ing the best development that is made
by the lending culturists of the world.
They are now being taught the value
of flowers The time was when a
child could not be trusted alone in a
city park where flowers We're exhib-
tied. They pulled the plants and they
despoiled the gardens. No vandal
ever hit place with heavier hand
than the average city child struck a
park flower bed. The fear of the po-
lice did not deter them. They had no
particular thought for the reproof of
their parents.
Now the people who study parks and
flowers have gone to studying children,
and strangely enough, they have dis
covered that children are rational hui
man beings. thoroughly susceptible of
being taught the value of flowers and
the care that is required to produce
and keep them. In many of the big
flower plots the little fellows are be-
ing regularly taken and told all about
the way that flowers thrive They are
being taught botany as kindergarten
study-not in the dry terms of the ex-
pert, but in the plain, interesting way
of the amateur. They are learning
how seeds are planted, how bulbs
come from the queer land of the dykes
and all of the other secrets.
The truism that the greatest and
most valuable crop in the world is
the crop of children is impressng IL
self in the pursuit of this hitherto neg
lected branch of garden work. When
a child begins to get interested in the
study of flowers, made pleasing by
the avoidance of dry detail. there is
no end to the possibility of pleasure
that can be derived from it. The in
struction affords the grown-ups a sim
pie way to enjoy the society of the
young which is the best tonic that
age ever had. More gray hairs can be
lodged and more wrinkles ironed out
by associating with children than by
the application of any known cure
Once this is fully realized, the value
of taking up the flower study with
children will make an appeal to many
book and corner when they might
be finding renewed youth with the
tots
Tell the children things that will in
terest them Point out how the bees
working away for hard-hearted queen
who lives in a cone-shaped palace, run
from flower to flower seeking to col
lect the tribute of sweets for the re-
lentleSs task-mistress of the hive Tell
them how these little bees, without
knowing it, are carrying from one fra
grant blossom to another the germ
of life that makes possible the repro
duction of the flower and keeps alive
the beauty and the joy of having the
plant.
That study ought to appeal to a ma
ture mind; it certainly does to the
mind of child. The truth has but
