LONDON, July 5-It's no small task
to keep million or more soldiers In
trim, especially when they are asked
to brave all sorts of weather condi

Competitive athletic meets are en-
couraged when the Tommies are not

| WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
! Comparative cost Of producing cane
sugar in Hawaii and American pos
/ sessions with the cost of producing i:
!, in. Cuba, together with the cost OF
producing beet sugar in the United
States, was given cut today by the
bureau of domestic and foreign COM
merce.
The data covers the cost in a nor.
NAL year, such as that of 1914, anG
is taken as representative.
Beet sugar, that year, cost ST.
cents a pound to produce at the fac
ter. IT,,
The cost Of producing Hawaiian
and other cane sugars and marketing
them in the United States, was as
follows:
Hawaiian, per pound 1887 cents
Porto Rican, per pound. .2.32S cents
Louisiana, per pO1 md 80. 1915 cents
Cuban, including duty. ...2,723 cents
American beet s........-3.74O cents
Compared with the yields in Cuba,
the Hawaiian output is enormous. II
is 1882 pounds OF sugar for every
acre of cane, while Cuba shows 1912
pounds of sugar to the acre of cane
The highest ever produced in Louis,
lana in the. crop years from 1903 to
1912 was 2.616 pounds of sugar to the
acre of cane. -.
Regarding the production in Hawaii
the bureau says:
|, The most scientific and intensive
system of cultivation is practised in
Hawaii, in striking contrast with the
extensive system in vogue in Cuba.
The, cane cutting, loading and trans
portation methods contrast very ia,
vorab1y with those of Cuba; the rush
ing Of the cane by fluming from the
harvest field to the factory and tho
bringing Of the railway track and car
upon the heels, Of the cane cutters in
all parts Of the fields in Hawaii are
very modern developments when
compared with the laborious and pre-
else adjustment Of each stalk in the
oxcart and the slow hauling Of the
cane by OK teams to the railroad, to
be reloaded and hauled to the mill in
Cuba. In the extraction OF juice
from the cane in hawaiian factories
and in other milling and scientific
processes the results attained are the
best Of all cane-sugar countries.

At a recent meeting of the Haiku
MAUD Farmers Association, the
main. subject of discussion was the
work Of the territorial food commits
sion in its relation to the farmers OF
the territory.
Many interesting suggestions were
brought out and copy of the minutes
OF the meeting was forwarded to DR..
A. L. Dean, executive officer OF the
commission, with the request that he
comment upon the suggestions ad-
yanced by the association members.
DR.. Dean has replied as follows:
# desire to call your attention to
the fact that in the testimony Of MI.
Hoover and DR.. Taylor. who have had
wide personal experience with food
conditions in Europe during the war.
it appears clear that even under the
most stringent conditions of govern
mept control, such as have existed in
Germany during the war, the enforce
ment of arbitrary regulations relative
to the production of food products has
been unsuccessful.
Apparently the only way in which
the maximum production Of the
things which are desired can be
brought about is by making this pro
ducLien profitable. The fixing OF
maximum prices has been only a par.
tial success. This commission has alb

The Honolulu force, including our

Probably 80 per cent of our business
is done in Chinese, Japanese or pidgin
English, so that it is necessary to
have these various nationalities in
our force.
THE work is extremely interesting,
especially among the Chinese stores
in the country districts. They figure
very closely on their costs, carrying
charge, etc, and generally know ex-
actly what and how much they want
to buy. One. especially. satisfying
point in the selling to these stores Is
the fact that after selling them for
years, and always telling them the
exact truth as to "onditiops, prices,
and prospects, they have come to rely
on our word, and place their orders
with us in. full confidence that they
will be, taken care Of in every way,
Their payments are largely in gold

EXPECT TO CONTROL GROWTH
Discovery Made by University of Cali
fernia Professor May "ean Euch
to Human Race.

Announcement has been made at
the University of California that DR..
7. B. R. Robertson, professor of bio
chemistry, has succeeded in extract
ing from the anterior lobe Of the
pituitary gland substance which he
calls tethelin. This extract is said
to have marked control on the growth
of animal bodies.
Doctor Robertson said that his ex-
periments covered period of four
years and added;
"It is too early to attempt to calcu-
late the importance Of the discovery.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted upon animals, and while
there are indications that the human
body may respond in the same way to
the same experiments, that has not
been determined.

"The effect of the substance upon
cancer is well established at this
time. The experiments will be con-
tinued, and further developments
may be expected, as the isolation of
the substance will render it easily OBJ
tainable by the scientists of the
world"

EFFECT OF PASSPORT REGULA-
TONS.

One of the effects of the enforce
ment by the United States of more
stringent passport regulations, is
that there are no further extradition
cases of Americans from England.
During many years before the war
there were a substantial number of
such cases, so many that dealing
with them constituted an important
division of the work of officials at the
embassy. So well have the new regu-
lations governing the issuing of
passports served the cause of justice
that during the current year there
has not been a single case of an
American criminal or suspect being
arraigned at Bow street police court
for extradition.

The mayor stopped and the boys dis
cussed methods of rescue.
Irvine and a peach basket were
obtained. The basket was lowered
to the rock, with shouted invitations
for kitty to take the elevator. But
kitty did not trust strange boys. A
long pole was obtained, and the lads
tried to force rescue by pushing
kitty into their life-net.
They succeeded in pushing her in
to the rim. 1t was then that Jimmie
came to the front. He got a rope
and, tying it about his waist, ordered
the other boys to lower him to the
rock While Jimmie was swinging
helplessly III circles, with his head
below his heels, the cat regained the
rock. There was still hope. AS the
squirming Jimmie was lowered close
to her, the cat leaped upward and
landed on the seat of Jimmie's
trousers, into which she sank he1
claws.
The crowd yelled again and the
boys on the bridge hauled in their
line. Jimmie and kitty were landed
safely on the bridge.
