GOOD ROADS ISSU +.

I just how big is the anto industryrin Hawaii =?
What does il mean to the territory?
Why are the roads in most of the counties. parti-
Icularly in Honolulu, proving woefulIy insufficient
TO stand the wear and tear of modern traffic?
W hat proportion OF damage To roads is made up
from the prdceeds of auto revenues?
What are the lessons to be derived from Homo
lulu's present road conditions and what is known
of local auto traffic?
These are very few of the many vitally import
ant questions which will be answered succnctlv in
the Star Bulletins Good Roads Issue to be publish
ed next Saturday
This issue is published because of pending legis
aon and because up TO date there has been neither
a close, thorough analysis Of the present situation
nor a comprehensive plan for get-together work to
improve that condition III: q. 49,. y...:
Literally dozens of good roads plans are afuat
many Of them in the legislature =.
To centralze public attention; TO crystafze pub,
lie discussion and especially TO present some entirely
new phases and entirely new information, this
Good Roads Edition has been planned and is now
being completed for qualifications Saturday.
Among its features will be a whole section de-
voted to graphically charted analysis of the con.
ditions by II. Gooding Field. This section shows
where public revenues are going proves that present
revenues are Insufficient, and suggests how to
remedy what is grave defect in our system of han.
ding the auto industry in its relation to roads
Realizing the timeliness of this discussion. the
auto men Of Hawaii are giving the heartiest coopera
tion in preparing this special edition. which will
be of permanent value in any question of road con.
struction or maintenance 1" 49,. nv r..
A large number of articles of special interest to
auto owners. drivers agencies and garages will also

WORK ON RANGE
PLEASES SOLONS

One of the most successful company
eneampments held by the Nationai
Guard here was undertaken Saturday
and Sunday by the Machine Gun Com
pany of the 1st Infantry on Punch
bowl. The company in heavy march
ing order left the armory early Sat
urday afternoon with its Vickers-Max-
i'm machine guns. Camp was erected
in record time and after hearty sup
per a detail was instructed in guard
duty, and as itsrained throughout the
night, the guard experienced eondi-
lions met with in active duty. Gen.
S. |. johnson had supper With the
company and praised it for the spirit
which 1t showed.
Sunday the company practised with
the machine guns, firing several
thousand shells and when the menu
bers of the legislature arrived they
were greatly impressed with the sight
of these modern weapons of warfare
in action.
A number of shooting matches were
arranged between the members OF the
house and senate and they showed
that they were far from being unfa-
miIiar with the service rifle. With
his first two shots Senator Coney
scored two bullseyes and he refused
to shoot further. Senator George p.
Cooke did almost as we'll with score
of 90 out Of possible 80.
Sunday morning the second battal.
ion went up for rifle practise and only
the boom of heavy guns was lacking
to make it a realistic scene from the
west front in France. The riflemen
also came in for a large share of
praise given the citizen soldiery by
the legislators as this battalion has a
large number of crack shots.
The members of the legislature
who visited Punchbowl Sunday were:

Az EMERGENCY PROJECT FOR WAIKIKI.

A public hearing before the house finance com.
laittee will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow on the
bill appropriating 5000 to divert the filthy stream
that now flows over Waikiki beach into the sea be-
fwefn fhe OutrigseT Club and the Moanas Hotel t
Il The BID Qnght to pass. 1t is an emergency
measure and the size of the emergency iustifies the
appropriation of $4,000 which competent engineers
have estimated is enough to put through the pro
ject.
StiMernor Pinkham has much larger and more
elaborate plan for recaiming the Waikiki lands.
but it is fully realized that the big reclamation
scheme cannot be put through for considerable
time-from one te three or more years At present
there is not even beginning of actual work due to
many causes, not the least of which has been the
lack of cooperation among propertyowners as we'll
as the Inherent difficulties of laying out public inn
proyement with such intricately involved interests
~nd such large engineering difficulties
Governor Pinkham tells the Star-Buletin that
he does not oppose the $4,000 for the diversion of
the stream. that he considers an emergency action
justified and that if the engineering project propos-
ed TO meet this emergency does not interfere with
the larger plan, he can conscientiously support it.
And the engineers who have given their advice TO
the Outrigger Club on the streamdiyersion project
assure the public that there will be no interference
with the bigger scheme.
There is, then, no good reason why the appropria-
ton should not pass. As stated in these columns
previously, Waikiki beach is such an enormously
valuable asset to Hawaii that this marring feature
ought to be got rid of at once

THE CALL OF THE NAVY.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has made an
appeal to the patriotic young men of the ma
ton, and the response should be immediate
and universal
He asks for large increase in naval per
sonnet; for thousands more of recruits to meet
the development outlined in President Wilson s
executive order
Hawaii has made splendid record in build
ing up the national guard and naval militia.
It is record of which every American in the
territory Is justly proud It is record which
goes down in American history as evidence
that Hawaii is an integral part of the United
States, bound by the ties of blood and national
brotherhood, and ready to do its share.
All this. has been preparation for such a
situation as now faces the United States.
Hawaii has a comparatively few number of
men available for recruiting INTO actual naval
service, BIT this territory can continue its
record ofshnswering the country's needs, with
response to Secretary Daniels call which
will be inspiring in its ringing, spontaneous

ALCOHOL FROM BANANAS NOW.
Culls Fruit to BE Distilled by Americans
at Honduras.

Bananas suitable foc export must al.
ways be of a certain size or number OF
hands The rejection of smaller punches
by the fruit companies has always been
a source of complaint and also of loss
to the planters. 1t is now proposed
to use them in the manufacture OF
alcohol, says a report made by Consul
f. NJ. Lawton at Tegueigalpa, Hon
duras.
BY executive order, the president OF
Honduras, has signed a contract by
which an American of long experience
in the fruit business in the tropics,
representing a company of American
capitalists is granted the right to erect
a distillery at San Pedro -uia, Hon
duras. The concessionaire has deposit
ed s25 900 with the government as an
earnest of good faith, which is TO be
credited toward export duties on the
alcohol at three cents gold per gallon.
The company proposes to supply
planters with funds for planting sugar
cane on the worn-out banana lands,
and will also distil from the cane, the
bagasse Of which is to be used in the
manufacture of paper. Experiments
will be made in the manufacture OF
paper from banana waste.

DEMAND FOR FCRS.
Fashion Not Alone Responsible for Kill.
ing of Animals.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Annual sales
of immense quantities or pelts at 81
Louis and New York indicate that next
season the women folk are going TO
nav well for their furs. The whole ami
NAL kingdom is being searched for skins
and even the harmless. necessary ca;
must contribute. AS for the musKrat
and other pelts which once were con
sidered vulgar, they have now reached
the ranks of aristcracy in price and in
the persons of those who wear them.
The oldtime favorite furs of fashion
have attained high value.
Not all of the furs in markets are
now style. Armies demand many and a
good deal of the fur is reno we'd to make
hats and other articles. But the wo-
men are responsible for most of the
high prices. Nowadays they must have
furs in the hottest weather and this all
the.year round demand Is JOY TO the
furriers. 1t is fortunate that the art
OF preparing furs has reached such
stage that the humblest skin may be
camoufaged TO look stylish-at least
for time.
All this is rather hard on the ami
mails, which seem to be disappearing
from the best hunting grounds. IL
would make an old Hudson bay trader
weep to see the prices now commanded
bv pelts which at one time he would
have held in contempt. Great Britain
and France looked upon the New World
more as a source for furs and fish than
for gold and silver, which appealed 10
,he Spaniards and wrecked their ma
tional vitality.
