ence r. Wilson, food administrator OF
the District. to begin the canvass of
Washington homes Tuesday morning

administrator in dividing the city into
forty-one subdistricts. Each OF the
original districts have been subdivided
and a headquarters named.
A few changes have been made in
the original draft districts. The orig
inal district comprising lexington and
North Capitol sections have been COM
bined and a portion of Park View and
Petworth also have been Joined. Other
subdistricts are portions of the orig
inal draft districts.
Mr.. Wilson has written to Ernest L.
Thurston, superintendent Of public
schools Of the city, asking that all
teachers address their pupils on Mon

ADOPT new method
To BATTLE GASES
Camp Meade First of Cantonments
to Begin Instructions.

The fact that Camp Meade 10 the
healthiest of all the national army
cantonments was learned last night
when statistics on this subject were
given official pronunciation at this
post.
Not one death from natural causes
has as yet been recorded here, and up
to the present time there has been a
notable lack Of activity in the hospital
quarters, where the majority Of the
beds are vacant.
Modern methods Of fighting the Ger
man gas attack that have proven eI-
ceedingly effective when applied to
mining catastrophies will be introduced
into the army, and today Camp Meade
had the distinction of being the first
national cantonment to begin the in
structions.
A big rescue car rolled into the
camp yesterday from Huntington, w.
Va, with a crew of skilled employees,
expert in the use of oxygen rescue ap-
ouu Al
the business of what to do when men
succumb to poisonous gases.
They are directing their attention to
instructing the nucleus of a new regi-
ment of miners, all volunteers. and
who will comprise a unit of miners
that Is expected to do valiant work in
the trenches, since they have all suf-
fered the discomfort of noxious fumes
at various times while following their
trade under the earth. Eventually
there will be 1900 of these men at
tached to the Seventy-ninth division.
The rescue cars are owned by the
Bureau of Mines, and IL the War De-
partment deems the experiment at
Camp Meade a success the eight cars
will be sent to various army canton
ments and the mining units organized
to travel with each division.
The oxygen apparatus consists Of
tanks and helmets and when the men
are coupled up to the paraphernalia
1t Is said that they can work for
hours in the most deadly gases that
the barbaric Teuton mind has con-
ceived.
Practical miners only will be in
cluded in these units and they will be
officered by mining engineers.

Hartman National Bank. Of Charles
ton. 8. c.. contended that the mans
estate should be held liable for the
full extent Of the debt alleged by the
bank due it. irrespective of whether
or not the premium required by the
law to be returned was insufficient to
meet It.
1t was alleged by the bank that the
husband OF Mrs. Lucy c. Huiet bor-
rowed $4,000 from the bank and about
that time invested heavily In insur-
ance in behalf Of his wife. The full
amount Of the insurance alleged TO be
taken out by Huiet is s25o.OoO. Part
of this was assigned later to other
creditors, but the wife was the bene-
ficiary OF the large majority of the
money.
The bank sought to recover, In addl-
ton to the premium, q part OF the
face Of the policies.

Anyone who says that the West

the House yesterday.
"And." he added, quote me just
that way"
The speaker Is convinced the West
Ia as full of the American spirit as
the East, and he asks only that those
who doubt II get the record OF en-
listments in the volunteer forces OF
the country during the past ten
months. The proportion OF Western
ers who entered the ranks Of the reg

tional Guard wholly ION their own

in the Middle West than in almost
all other States. He says that the
West did its share in the liberty bond
drive, and that II has done and will
keep doing its part in the big task
OF raising funds to meet war ex-
penses.

he points out, that could not come at

purpose of passing war legislation.

will accumulate in a wonderfully sur

The Speaker is one member who In
tends to stay close to the Job here
no matter how his political futurs
may be affected He prefers to at
tend to the immediate wants OF the
nation than to take time on to patch
up political fences, and to thus make
his way easier for his own reelection
He does not look for display Of per-
nicious partisanship on any Of the
necessary war legislation, and expects
that in the program that the Presi-

COAST DEFENSE
MEETS lST.32ND
ON REGATTADAY
Two Games Will Be Played at
MoiIiiIi on Saturday; Fill
pinos-St-Louis Sunday

Although the Regatta will be the
big event Saturday. the real national
game will be given a trial when the
Coast Defense team meets the 1st-32rfd
squad in the second game of the day
at Moiliili Field. There will be a
large crowd in the city from the other
islands, and it is expected that a rec
ord crowd will come out to the field
to watch the two teams in their Sec
ond battle. -.
In the last game the 1st-32nd de-
feated the Coast Defense team by
score of 2 to 0. 1t was real game
throughout, and the Coasters believe
that this time they will hand the same
medicine to the Schofield contingent
In Crumpler and Kelly the Coast De-
tense has two of the best pitchers In
the islands, and if there is any team
to beat the Wreckers, this is the one.
In the last game with the Wreckers
the 1st-32nd team looked awful, but
this was on account of weak pitching,
together with heavy bombardment OF
the 25th. Brinza and Mashaw have
both pitched good ball in the past,
and may be depended upon to give the
Coast Defense a real battle through
out. -
Many of the star players on the
Healani team have to row In the re-
gatta, and Decker and Mcllree may
have a hard time gathering together
team. The Healanis are slated to meet
the Braves in the first game at 1:B,
and if the entire squad of Healanls
show up, they have a chance to win
from the Lee crew.
Bill Hollinger, Bushnell and Nc
Tishe will be rowing. But IL Victor,
Diehl, Kauhane, Halle. Hughes, Crane,
McIlree and Hamburg show up, the
HeaIanis should show something. The
Braves have been playing good ball,
and their recent defeat OF the Fill
pinos by a to 4 score has given them
plenty Of confidence.
Manager Miles has not as yet lined
up a card for Sunday afternoon, but
st. Louis and the Filipinos are
schedled to play in the first game.
The Filipinos still have a chance to
win the second series, and will make
a hard try for the game. Markham
and Kurisah will perhaps be the bat
terv for the St Louis team, and LAM,
Hosea. CHA are the selections for the
Filipinos with Lopes or kaeho behind
the bat.

Saturday is the big day in athletic
circles, and the followers Of the row.
ing game believe that this year the
regatta will excel any other previous
event. There are good reasons Tor
believing so, inasnuch as a number
of novel events have been added to
the program.
The surf boa II padding race was
placed on the prog"2m as an added
feature, but this race promises to
BRING out d ra0I battle between tie
rembers Of tic Outrlgger club and
the Hui NaluS. There are a number
OF experts who are members Of both
clubs. and instead Of being side is
sue, this race should result in real
rivalry.
Htlo a Favorita
The Hilo crew is certain 10 enter
the senior race favorite as the Crcs-
cent City DO are III the pink Of
condition, and have nothing to do but
train for the event for a week. The
crew is quartered at the Myrtle Boat
club and every evening at J o'clock,
the boys are tucked into their little
beds.
In the morning the boys take long
run and follow this up with cold
shower. They are then ready TO 60
out for a trial spin, which takes most
Of the morning. They eat lunch under
the direction of Coach Bert Webster,
and then have the afternoon to them
selves. Sight seeing trips are usually
the order for the afternoon. Otto
Rose said today that the boys ought
to win if condition counts for any
thing. and furthermore all were in
formed by their wives and sweet
hearts. that If they did not bring the
cup back to Hilo they had bet
ter not come, so the Hilo boys are
not going to take any chances of los
ing their wives and sweethearts.
Locals Won't Talk
The Healanis and Myrtles are not
saying much. The Blue wants to
win from the Red and vice-versa. The
local crews are giving the Hilo crew
a chance to win, but they are not
willing to admit that Hilo should be at
all certain of the race.
The Myrtles are banking on their In.
termediate crew, to bring home the
bacon, and they have right to be
confident as there are a number of
good oarsmen in the boat. The Hea-
lanis have confidence in their junior
