PLEADS FOR "sAoEsTRINes.v

Editor, Star-Bulletin:
Sir: Why is it people belonging to
the Chamber of Commerce and the
promotion committee discourage the
coming over here Of the young Ameri-
can citizens On shoestrihg: | should
think they would try and make room
on JOB for man who has (nerve)
enough to come over here on a shoe
string, not knowing what he is butting
into.
In my opinion those young men are
worth helping. What did the major
1ty of the big businessmen who are
here now have when they came over
here? Not one-tenth as much as they
have now. Why should they want to
discourage anybody else? Have they
not enough? 1t looks to me as If they
were tr"ing the dog in the Manager act
The real reason they do not want
the shoestring travellers over here IL
because the so-called American and
patriotic businessmen here are afraid

THE "cUTouT FIEND"

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Why can't the law be applied
equally? Auto drivers are warned
not to run with their cLtouts open,
yet not a day passes but truck drivers
do this very thing. Trucks MAKE
mere noise than any pleasure car. and
take longer TO pass a given point, yet
no effort seems to be made TO enforce
the law in their case.
Few drivers but what like to have
their cutouts open occasionally just
to hear the bark OF their engine. >
Why not allow everyone the same
privilege or else enforce the law with
no discrimination?
One day recently I read in the col,
umns of your paper that the cutont
law was going to be enforced on mo-
torcycIes at once. in an effort to elm
mate this pest This 10 doubt caused
rejoicing in some quarters. But i'm

ing like a gatling gun.
Why the discrimination?

WHAT THE BAND NEEDS

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: The appointment of Robert H.
Baker is not in the really proper way,
but in the way politically only.
So is the sight and the determine
ton of this kind of appointment;
clearly seeing and knowing, just as
bright as a MONDAY sun, what was
published about the non-ftness of
Robert H. Baker as bandleader for
our renowned band.
Robert H. Baker has not the knowl-
edge enough and the readiness to
compose music, even to arranging the
different parts for each different in
strument, No! Knowing that he
/ lacks in many qualifications, he boldly
wished to be leader of this import
and and renowned office of our coun-
try; this renown being proved, guided
by Capt H. Berger, the smart, and
not by an Gnsmart and unskilled one
like Robert H. Baker. No! Mo-. No,
Sir!!!
But perhaps there was a secret
consultation held between Robert H.
Baker and someone else, a person of
musical knowledge who will write,
compose and arrange music that will
be brought, and Robert H. Baker has
only to beat the baton, perhaps it was
so secretly consulted; and If so then
this is one of the lowest, poorest and
of no backbone secret office consulta-
ton that ever happened in our coun-
try.
For myself, the undersigned, is an
old member of the Royal Hawaiian
band (which name is now called on
our band of today and who joined in
the second time the office of band
was again established in Hawaii here,
by Prof. W. H. Northscott ian English
subject by birth) in the A. D. 1870.
l can hold the stick and beat the
time far better in some of the music
than Robert H. Baker can, If the
board of supervisors wish for that, but
what is the use of that slim ability
if your are lacking the knowledge
higher up to be really for the vel.
fare of this important and renowned
office of our land? No! Mo-! NOT!
Therefore, in closing this general
and true idea, also place my humble
request to the honorable members of
the board of supervisors, to recon.
slider the name of Robert H. Baker,
and to vacate his appointment from
being leader of our Royal Hawaii
an Band" and Prof. Kalani Peter be
continued as leader as he is at pres.
ent. So God will help my request.
But before l sign my name to this
wish to remind the public that what
are the essential qualifications neces.
sary of bandmaster, to say the least
in Hawaii. They are as follows:
l. Skill on some wind instrument in
particular.
2. Practical knowledge of all other
wind instruments, that is, to be able
to play them more or less we'll.
8. knowledge of the theory and
practise of music, including harmony,
counterpart, composition, instrumen.
tations, forms, and acquaintance with

ments.
4. Capacity to read Scores" and in
terpret them.
>. Pedagogic ability; teaching. tun.
ing and toning of the wind band.
=. knowledge of the character of
Hawaiian music.
I. knowledge OF the regularity OF
voicing Hawaiian songs.
8. knowledge of the men who work
under him.

dial reception in live newspaper office. But there
are exceptions TO all rules and uf the exceptions
is when the booster tells big story. tell the truth
and makes the reader feel pleased that he can claim
fellow citizenship with that crowd.
Iowa has started out the Greater Iowa idea.
This invov.s telling what Iowa now is as we'll as

| This is broad statement. but we arc. informed
that it is based on reliable governmental Informal
ton. which if not complete errs in its failure to
obtain a record of the return from every foot of
cultivated land. Therefore, the figures are conscr-
vatve
In every city and town in Iowa. back Yards and
side yards and in many. many instances front Yards
have been growing potatoes and beans and beets
and other garden truck. Owing to the activA cam.
palgn OF the State College of Agriculture there will
be no waste or OverproductOn of this variety of
foods
The canning clubs have put hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth Of vegetables onto pantry
shelves. for Use during the winter MONTHS While
an EFFORT has been made to guess at the amount of
foods so grown and conserved. it i obvious that an
accurate figure is utterly impossible 1t was esti-
mated that the garden truck grown in Iowa in 1916
was valued at $5,000,000. The approximate figure
for 1917 will be $200OOO OO-or an increase of 300
per cent.
| In 1916 Iowa produced approximately SJ. OOO-
O0O bushels of oats Present indications are that
this year she will produce close to 100000. 600
bushels or an increase of over 30 per cent If this
proportion of increase is maintained throughout the
United States. Uncle Sans oat crop will be more
than 40O,OOO.OOO bushels greater than it was last
lyear-or grand total of 100000 600 bushels
And II Iowa should produce 24O OOO. 600 bushels
or oats this year it will he just $4,000 900 more than
the largest oat crop Iowa ever produced 1t is caus
ing some folks to do great deal of thinking when
they contemplate an oat crop 35,0OOOOO bushels
more than ever in the states history and prices
mgher than ever in the worlds history
Figure in the relative increase in corn and

The College Road Record

| F. CONCLUSIONS: The road has been in use
about sixteen months and it is therefore too
soon to derive final conclusions as TO the be-
'hayior and performance of each of the different
kinds of pavement; there are, however, certain
general observations that may he made al THIS
Lime which apparently are conclusive.
l. That concrete pavement should not De
laid without reinforcement. This has been
clearly demonstrated by the relative behavior OF
these two pavements.
D Foundations for concrete pavement
should he as carefully prepared and as we'll
built as for other pavement. In other WORDS,
i the concrete should not be called upon to cover
Rejects of foundation. 1t is automatic III road
CONSTRUCTION that solid foundations and proper
subdrainage are two important factors to be
taken into account and the behavior of this
road has followed this law.
g. The Importance of thoroughly rolling as
phalt macadam both before and after the as
phalt has been applied cannot be emphasized
TOO strongly This point has been strikingly
Illustrated i'm one of the sections of asphalt
macadam in which section OF about hfty rect
in length received a much more thorough roll
ing than other portions of the same kind OF
pavement Notwithstanding the fact that this
particular ffty-foot section did not receive
seal coat. 1t has stood up against severe test
and is today in better condition than any other
part of the asphalt road, and it is believed that
this superior condition today is due to the IGct
that it received much more thorough rolling.
PRESENT CONDITIONS: Due to the ex-
trenely heavy traffic passing over this road con-
siderable wear has taken place and the road is
now in need of repairs. These repairs are being
executed and consist in filling in the broken
and worn spots in the plain concrete pavement
with new concrete and the filling in of all
cracks with hot asphaltum in order to prevent
moisture from getting at the foundation. The
asphalt macadam sections which have rave!ed
in number of places are being repaired by cut
ting out and replacing with new material the
rayeled spots; after which the entire surface of
asphalt macadam will receive a new seal coat.
number of photographs, showing the con-
dition of the different sections of the road be-
fore the repair work started, were taken and
are of special interest, particularly those show
ing the relative condition of the two kinds of
concrete pavement. -*

The foregoing is from the report of the engineer
in charge of the experimental road at the College
OF Hawaii, the first experimental road ever con
etructed in the islands unless it he held that all the
road building of the last ten or twenty years has
been one grand and expensive experiment
Attention is called to the very definite conclusion
regarding the concrete road Any person interested
and every taxpayer should be interested-can see
for himself by passing over the road The record
is so clear that he who runs or rides may and
understand. @. ~ -. E.--. >-.....@..
1t is of the utmost Importance that the facts
gained from this experiment should be given close
study by the people at large well as the man
agers of the city. .--"
During the last twenty years Honolulu residents
have paid for the education of nearly every road
engineer who has been in Office.
In the next ten years. hundreds of miles of new
street and road will be reconstructed, and for a
great portion of it the householder will have to pay
directly from his own pocket.
How necessary is it, therefore, that the man who
owns a home should understand the essentials of
road construction results as proved by definite
and wellmanaged experiment
When this particular experiment was first pro-
nosed i'm the legislature il was received with scorn
ar indifferent interest because it was assumed
thprp would be no traffic over the road.
The fact is that this highway has had the hardest
tafc of any street in the city with the possible ex
ception of King street account of the hauling OF
boaxy material for the Manoa district street i'm
proyement.
What we need in the road construction of Hono
,ln Is A standardizing based on general record OF
tact rather than spasm of work based on the per
onal ideas of some engineer supervisor who does
not foot the bills !.

Entire Organization Is to Be
Drafted Into Regular Army
on That Date; Nebras.
kans Called July IS.
(By Associated Press !

Washington, July 9.-The last step
necessary to make he entire National
Guard available for duty in France
was taken by President Wilson today
with the issue OF a proclamation
drafting the state troops into the
army of the United States on Au-
gust 5.
To make certain hat the purpose
of he national defense act is carried
out the proclamation also specifically
declares the men drafted to be
discharged from the old militia on
that date. In hat way the constitu-
tional restraint upon use of militia
outside the country is avoided and
the way paved for sending the regi-
ments TO the European front.
Prior to the application of the draft,
regiments in the northern and east
ern section of the country are called
into the federal service as National
Guardsmen in two increments to be
modified on July IS and Is.
10 FederaliZe Units.
Many units are also federalized and
presumably they will be modified
with the other troops from their
states. The guard from the other
states will be modified on the day
of the draft. The arrangement was
necessary to provide for movement
OF the regiments to their concentra-
tion cmaps without congestion.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until August so that all
regiments can be taken into the army
simultaneously. Fourteen camp sites
Tor the sixteen tactical divisions in
to which the guard will be organized
have been selected already and the
militia bureau is preparing the rail-
way routing OF the troops to the
camps.
Seven OF the sites selected are in
the the southeastern department, five
III the southern, and two in the west
ern. The two others will be in the
southeastern department and until
they are approved assignment Of regi-
ments to camps and divisions cannot
be fully worked out The only two
