|. CAMP LILIUOKALANI, Kawailoa,
November 13.-Camp Liliuokalanl,
where Hawaii's two regiments OF ma
tional guardsmen are in training, Is
already becoming popular place for
visitors. From the businessman
family in the big motor car that
drives out to see that boy at work
in the KHAKI uniform of Uncle Sam to
the "kids" of the nearby Hawaiian
neighbors at Kawailoa, they gather
for a look at the busy scene.

BUSINESS" Motor cars humm1ng
here and there, motor trucks chug-
ging in with supplies, refrigerator cars
being unloaded with the days supply
of bread and meats, to say nothing OF
the constant 'hump-hoo-hee-haW' with
which stalwart officers count time to
their men while bayonets CLINT in the
sun and perspiration streams down
tanned brows. "a r..
At night, with the cool breeze sweep
ing down across the camp, its only
noise the Tapping of tent wall or the
rustic of the sand dunes, the contrast
is as impressive as is the constant &C
tivity of the day. Impressive and yet
lost to all but the guards who pace
their rounds with rifles at shoulder,
their comrades snoring blissfully in
relaxation from the days work.
Sanitation is being taught the
guardsmen as one of their first les
sons. 1t may or it may net be neces-
sary, but the government is taking no
chances and among the first bits OF
instruction given the men as they
come to camp are the theory and prac-
tise of sanitation and care of the
health. Yesterday it was haircut day
for many of the Filipinos who had
come to camp with bushy hair. Gen.
Sam Johnson spotted them in hurry
and the instructions went out to the
encampment BARRIERS. ~ f-
One views with awe the. feeding OF
the multitude. The army has allotted
$4,000 rations for the camp during the
two-week period, ration being food
for one man for one day.
Perishable goods, such as beef,
bread and ice are shipped to the camp
each day from Honolulu in a refrig-
orator car Food is issued to the men
just the same as if they were in active
service instead 7of on encampment
from which they may be withdrawn
in the course of Is days.
Today 81 men from Hilo Joined the
camp, having been brought in by the
Mauna Kea on a special trip. These
were sent It once to the camp upon
arrival here This brings the camp up
to full strength. All tents are up and
everything running without a hitch.
The school of the squad was taken up
TODAY for drill work.

Annoyance

From a hygienic standpoint social annoy
ance is getting serious, since the strain on both
the body and the mind requires constant physi-
cal attention. Certainly nothing Is more an
noying TO a refined person than offensive pers-
piration or body odors. Those who have used
Tyree's Antisepte Powder know il to be the
one remedy which never disappoints. For gen
eral uses-dependsble in all cases-it should
be in every household. E.

affection and hard to cure at that, it is surely

SPECIAL CAR BODY
WHIMS TO Be MET
Jennings Motor Sales Corpora.
ton Arranges to Supply Any
Design Preferred.

Some time ago a notorist discussed
with The Times automobile editor the
question of special bodies, saying he
regretted he had to go to Detroit for
the body of his car.
Consistent with the demand of that
man whose purse makes II possible
for him to be fastidious in his taste,
the Jennings Motor Sales Corporation
has arranged with New York special
lists in body building to deliver
promptly any type of body demanded.
The Jennings corporation also has
ordered several types of bodies to be
shown on the floor of its salesrOoms.
The addition of the Victoria top to
the Hal touring car being displayed
by the Jennings corporation at the
Washington show is an example OF
what a slight change may do toward
satisfying a peculiar whim of a buy
er.
The Hal Company is laying no
stress on special bodies, preferring
to follow the Standardization policy
recommended by the Society of Auto
mobile Engineers.

$4,000 IN FLOWERS BURN
Greenhouse on PennsyIvanla Estate
In Flames.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-one OF
the finest private collections of trop-
ical plants and flowers in this part
of the country, and probably in the
United States, was partly destroyed
last night, causing loss running into
thousands OF dollars. when a section
of the greenhouse on the estate of
George II. McFadden, at Ithan ave
nue. and Conestoga road, Villanova,
caught fire. Estimates OF the loss
range from $4,000 to $4,000.
Rare plants, rarer orchids and a
dozen other varieties of tropical
plants, brought from many parts OF
the world and the product OF years
of expert care, were destroyed. Mr..

RADICAL CHANGES
IN NEW ROADSTER
TweIve-CyIinder Model Con-
CeaIs Top and Spare Wheel
At Rear.

The new Pathfinder twelve-cylinder
seven-passenger touring roadster
proves that America is the dictator Of
motor car styles today.
With its massive hood, sloping rear
end, concealed top and concealed
spare wheel and tires, it is a radical
departure from the conventional type
of motor car.
1t strikes the observer as especially
different because the rear end Of mo-
tor cars has undergone no changes on
five or seven passenger models since
the rear entrance door was aban-
doned years ago.
When automobiles were first built
they were crude mechanical contriv-
ances, chugging along the road with
the passengers sitting high up In the
air, exposed to the weather, with no
protection whatever.
AS the art of automobile designing
advanced and fundamental mechanical
problems were solved, more was done
for the passengers comfort. Wind
shields were added, tops were put on,
rear and front dors were added for
the passengers convenience and pro-
lection. The very shape of the car
suggested the long and painful pro-
cess OF evolution.
In the past the manufacturer did
not sell his car with an extra spare
tire: later he gave a tire and a rim,
but forgot to arrange a place to carry
them. Sometimes they were carried
on the running board, later in the
rear.
In the new Pathfinder there is a re-
volving tire box to carry the extra
wire wheel, tube and tire in a loca-
tion where they are out of sight and
safe from thieves. Both the revolving
tire rack. permitting disappearing ex-
ira wheel and the concealed top have
many advantages outside of appear

Matters by The Times Auto

AN UNPREJUDIcED OPINION
A Column Of Judgment on Is
sues Vital to Motor Car
Owners.
By MONTE w. soHN.

Speaking of batteries.
That motorist who Is negligent
of water, who takes a chance with
the kind of water he uses, when
quenching the thirst OF his parch-
throated battery
That motorist has a large and
corpulent gall to kick about his
battery.
He does, OF course.
He kicks all over the place.
1t isn't our fault il we go back
to first principles and get the
pointer and the blackboard out
OF the cellar.
We hate to swing the "naugh-
ty-naughty" index finger, because
personally we would rather be
veccinated than educated.
But it has to be.
Don't tell US the battery's no
good.
Don't pull that kind of stuff.
Most batteries, like most cars,
are up to you.
Best Brains Are Makers.
The best battery brains m the
world are in the big battery lab
oratories. And when one COM
pany gets out an improvement
over its last years battery, all OF
them copy it as closely as they
may.
So as a general thing, the mod
ern battery is much more ef-
ficient than the man who uses
It.
Hand US the pointer and the
chalk, please.
If you drive your cars with
practically no water in the radia-
tor II will raise Cain with your
engine, and you'll have a lovely
bunch of scored cylinders.
This is A-B-C stuff.
But why expect your battery
70 stand up under the siege OF
thirst you wouldn't wish on the
radiator?
You've got to refill the battery
with distilled water when it is
necessary, which you can deter
meter. Don't guess. Test 1t once
q week and know.
And as for the water, we don't
mean boiled water, or spring
water, or the common garden
hose variety.
The word distilled In this case
is spelled distilled.
Don't Test with Ammeter.
Don't test the battery with a
pocket ammeter.
That's an experts job under any
circumstances. That works all
right on a dry cell, but try 1t
with a storage battery and you'll
wreck the ammeter, and discharge
the battery OF about half its load
at one stroke.

This pioneer company first placed

FOR seven passengers, the two auxiliary
seats disappearing completely into the

with an aisleway between. and are Of
double cowl type so that a sufficient

tegral with the sides of the body so
that q substantial. safe construction is
assured. The exterior lines Of the body
are Of the full stream line type, being
very similar in design to the general
outline at present used on Apperson
cars.
Seen at the show, the most notice
able change in the body Is found in
the arrangement of the tonneau. A
big, deep seat Is provided, wider than
any ever brought out by that com
pany before, and with a back high
enough to insure comfortable riding
even to the tallest person. Then q
new method OF upholstering has been
worked out, with form fitting springs
which fit the backs OF the occupants
snugly, giving q feeling of support
otherwise not possible. The cushion
is deep, soft and made to incline to
the rear, SO that a person sitting
upon 1t touches II throughout its en-
tire depth. 1t Is comfortable, and re-
duces the chance for fatigue.
Most Modern Accessories.
This new model has the most mod
ern accessories. and the detail fnish
OF the car has been carefully worked
out so as to insure absolute harmony

And IL you're adjusting or pot

terry the best way we know OF
quickly and absolutely putting
the battery on the bum is to lay

Complete Ruin.
Then, all you have to do is to
leave it in the garage for a week
or two, during which the heavy
sulphation Of the plates continues,
and the job OF ruin is complete.
And then, if there was a Justice
in this world, the battery physi-
clan to whom you take II ought
to soak you a million dollars just
to look at it, much less try to
save a battery so far gone.
1t doesn't cost much to have

And it doesn't take forty years
for any motorist to get wise to

FITZHuGH GRUEN. U. 8. n.

Life preservers mean more to us
now. than they did. They always were
good sofa pillows for sailors. But
they took up lots of room and when
ever paint and scrub brush. days
came no one could say enough against
their uselessness.
Times have changed. U-boats have
ruined sleep. increased the cost of
living, and put life belts in the class
with radium, tuberculosis vaccine,
coal, and other Inquiries. When you
need a life belt not million dollars
in the bank, nor a seat on the N. Y,
Stock Exchange would look so good.
The fellow that wanted to trade his
kingdom for a horse would have
thrown in his wife and cellarette and
changed the order to a life belt if he
had been forced to cross the ocean
any time In the past six months.
It's quality depends on the stuffing.
Air of course would be best. But air
pillows, or tanks, or drums, are too
easily punctured. Cork belts are
common The latest thing in this line
is stuffed with Kapok.
Kapok is an East Indian vegetable
fiber. It was recently adopted by our
Navy as a stuffing. Mattresses, pill
lows, cushions, aeroplane headgear,
ad life belts are some of the uses to
which 1t has been put. Java Is the
principal source of supply.
Cotton is the nearest thing for
comparison. But instead of hanging
on a bush Kapok buds blossom in the
high branches Of tree. Naked ma
tives climb up. and rustic them into
bags or baskets. Pods are picked and
hbers separated In enclosures which
prevent stray wisps from blowing
