EARLY PAYMENT OF
INCOME TAXES IS
URGED BY COLLECTOR

In order that the federal govern
ment may have an adequate supply of
money to handle the war situation, it
is making vigorous efforts to raise
every possible dollar and has asked
the citizens of Hawaii to make ad-
vance payments of their income taxes.
A communication was received
Thursday from the commissioner OF
internal revenue by John F.. Haley,
internal revenue collector, requesting
him to send out notices to all persons
from. whom an income tax will be
due this year and urge them to pay
in advance
The following notices were sent
out: ....- -.
in view of war conditions the gov
eminent would appreciate prompt
payment of taxes if the taxpayer is
able to make. such payment without
uHdues ineony eniepsa 10 kiniseif. -
The commissioner OF Internal re ve.
nue. has no power to rebate or dis.
count but hopes that in view of the
conditions now facing the country a
ready and large response will be made
to the request"

Women Are Helping
Then there was the WOmen'S com

conservation idea. Very often people
buy things, and as one woman said.
she saw another woman throwing
away a basket of bread and told her
she must not do that. The woman
replied that she had paid for the bread
and had a right to throw it away. That

THE production idea depends entire
~ upon the community. In Texas the
production will be different from that
IN the islands. In Massachusetts it
will be different because items can be
produced in one community that can
rot be produced in another community.
in this case | think the commit
tees best to appoint would be COM
mittee on finance, which is really es-
sential; a committee on publicity,
which committee can work through

Then there should be committee on

Those committees are operating in

ASSOCIATED Press by U. s. Naval
a. r WirelessD -.
LONDON, Eng, April 27.-W. John
son Hicks, a member of the house OF
commons, bitterly attacked the gov.
eminent yesterday, charging that Brit
ish aviators are being killed wholesale
because they are sent to fight the Ger
man fiiers equipped with machines
that are inferior to those used by the
enemy. ~.....
In his address,, Mr.. Hicks declared
that during the months of January and
February the total loss Of British
aeroplanes was So, but that since that
time the loss has been increasing
steadily, and that for the rs days Of
April for which he had figures more
than 319 filters had been lost on the
various fronts in combat with Ger
mans or from other causes.
The appalling sum. he added, Is but
a portion of the aerial losses suffered
by Great Britain, for during the same
period the naval f1iers had reported
121 casualties, and that IS student asf-
ators had been killed while learning
to fly.

POORER CLASSES
MUST Be TAUGHT
TO HELP SELVES

That the poorer classes of Hawaii
have no idea of the serious condition
of the food supply of the United
States and that il there be concerted
attempt to make the Hawaiian islands
independent of the mainland for its
food supply, these people must be
reached and the situation explained
to them, is the statement made by
Elmer NJ. Cheatham, formerly assist
ant manager of B. F. Ehlers Company
and now a homesteader at Kappa,
Kauai, following the meeting at the
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday.
Cheatham is in close touch with the
people of the country districts Of the
islands and declares that where form
erly practically every Hawaiian had
his garden and taro patch. now only
one out of so is making any attempt
to support himself by growing his
own food supply
The Hawaiian in recent years finds
1t easier to go to the store and buy
his few needs than work and raise
them himself" he said ION Kauai
the production of rice has diminished
by over half, the big fields of taro are
fast disappearing AMI banana trees
are more plentiful here in the city
than in the country. Practically
every family has a lot large enough
to raise considerable food but most
of these lots are barren" Cheatham
said. d. Hi. =. 49,. d..
Cheatham states that the island of
Kauai has already organized and is
actively going ahead to solve the food
question to the best of its ability. The
sugar planters have agreed to pay
minimum of So bag for rice to in.
crease its production and a movement
has been started to have the Hawai-
ians again plant taro and other sup
plies. ... ..r -."s..
Cheatham also points out that it is
a mistake to let the plantations DO all
the work but that every man, woman
and child must get busy.
In regard to the National Guard on
Kauai. Cheatham says that as re-
suit of the law discharging men who
have dependents, practically all the
Portuguese, some Hawaiians and only
few Filipinos will be discharged.
He says, however, that Kauai will
have no trouble in bringing the Attn
Infantry to war strength with the Fill
pinos az they are always looking for
a chance to move, but that the plan
tations would be crippled if a large
number did enlist.

HOSPITALITY OF
PLAYERS PROVED

Possibly there are chefs on the
mainland who can equal the skill or
George Austin Moore in connecting
the Mexican national dish of chill
con Carne con friioles, but it is doubt
full. Certainly no one ever visited
Hawaii who could class with him in
ability in his culinary speciality. This
was clearly proven last night to 80 or
more Honolulans and Honolulu Wis
itors on the stage of the Bijou theater
following performance by the Fraw-
ley company of the charming play,
Peg O. My Heart
George Austin Moore is a clever
member of the FTawley company. He
is not only a clever actor, a reconteur
par excellence and a pleasant fellow
to meet socially, but his hobby OF
Mexican cookery makes him a mighty
useful member of society before meal
times or for an al fresco supper.
Moore comes from Austin, Texas.
Maybe that city of the Lone Star
State was not named after George
Austin Moore, but it will be hard to
convince the guests of last night that
it was not. T. Daniel Frawley says
Moore makes it point to show his
culinary expertness wherever the
company may play for any length of
time Possibly this may help to ac-
count for the popularity Of the CON-
pany and its members, socially as we'll
as entertainers.
After the performance at the Bijou
last night the stage was cleared,
tables spread and the invited guests
who had remained in the body Of the
house called behind the footlights.
Then followed the chilli supper. After
the supper Frawley said "a few words
of welcome and then called on J. c.
Cohen of the Consolidated pAmuse-
ment Company to say few words.
ollowing Cohen, Moore was called on
to tell some stories and he responded
with new ones in negro, Swedish and
Italian dialect. Next, DR.. c. B. Coop
er was called on by Frawley as one
of his oldest friends in Honolulu, and
responded in complimentary vein.
Later flashlight picture was taken
and still later tables were pushed
back and the piano brought forward
and a jolly dance was enjoyed
The Frawley company will take an
island trip next week and on their re-
turn will present, it is expected, two
new offerings in the five days they
will then spend at the Biiou. " 49,.
