During the early history Of tho

tom Of each inventor TO work out his
own ideas with no attempt to improve
upon those Of his predecessors, the
result being very little progress in
any particular direction.
i This, however, has not been the
case In the year just closed. More
automobiles, both passenger and com
mercial type, have been produced
during 1916 than ever before and In

efforts toward perfecting processes

MAUI TO LEAVE
ONE MONTH LATE

That the new Matson liner Maui
will not be delivered to the Matson
Navigation Company by her builders,
the Union Iron Works, before April /,
which will make her one month later
leaving for Honolulu on her initial
voyage, is the gist Of letter received
last evening by the local Matson agen-
cy, Castle & Cooke, and made public
today by Manager John H. Drew of
the shipping department. =
The Matson Navigation Company
informs us that it has not been able
to get definite information from the
builders as to when they will de-
liver the Maui to the owners" said
Manager Drew. 1.-THE company be-
lieves, however, that it will not be
before April /, which will make her
a month later leaving San Francisco
on her maiden voyage to the islands,
than was originally planned"
Two months ago the Matson Naviga-
ton Company announced that the
Maui would leave San Francisco
March Z on her first trip. The date
will be April ] or later, although the
Union Iron. Works is working OH her
night and day, making every effort to
complete the vessel at the earliest
possible moment.
The original contract called for the
liner to be completed on January L of
this year but delays in the arrival of
material, labor troubles and other
factors held up the work more than
had been foreseen.
Altogether the Maui, which dupli-
Gates the Matsonia in size although
she can carry 40 or so more passen-
gers than the present flagship, will
represent an outlay of close to $4,000
900 when delivered to the Matson line.
The Matson Company could sell her
or the Matsonia today for $4,000, 900,
commented Manager Drew.
