BIG0PPORTUNITY
HEREFOR music,
SAYS VISITOR

Mrs. Bertha Evelyn TAFT, business
manager Of the Portland. Ore, Sym.
phony Orchestra, Is q visitor in Homo
lulu. Mrs. TAFT Is known throughout
the Northwest as one Of the leading
musical figures in that section. She
is spending the summer with her
son, Claire TAFT, who Is well known
in Honolulu.
Honolulu has wonderful opportu.
mites for music" said Mrs. TAFT to-
day. "A city is often judged by the
quality Of its music and it is a fact
that music attracts the best class Of
citizens.
ITO make a really musical COM
munity, you must first begin with the
children. People who love music and
know its value for culture also know
that education without music is i'm.
possible.
The Portland Symphony orches-
ira, made up Of so public spirited mus
icians, gives its dress rehearsals free
to school children, entertaining 1000
each month.
Good music should be encouraged
in Honolulu. Nowhere In the world
could harmony Of sound find such a
superb setting. Music should form
part of the civic endeayors Of this
community. When words are not
subtle enough to~express all that we
mean, we have the universal language
of music, which is always an inspira.
ton to higher ideals, and better citi-
zenship.
Hundreds Of cities throughout the
country take a pride in their music,
and Honolulu has a wonderful oppor-
tunity to do so. An artist like Maude
Powell should draw packed houses in
your city" she concluded.
Mrs. TAFT is here on a vacation, but
her interest in music may cause her
to arrange a program for Honolulu
should she decide to remain longer In
Hawaii.

JAP ANESE Beans

Il cheap enough.
Large quantities Of the beans are
supported from japan. The merchants
on Kauai alone, Case writes, are i'm
porting $50 to 200 bage month, for
which they pay to cents a pound.
"on one Of my inspection tours, >"
the KaIai. agent writes to Or. Deah,
tho commissions executive, Il found
a Japanese grover who was growing
these Tor his own use, but they had
developed so abundantly that he had
abont 400 pounds for sale. They had
grown a crop of about 1000 pounds
per acre. ] went to some OF the stores
end found that the beans are selling
for 10 cents pound. - 4
THE Kauai-grown product were lar.
ger, redder and a better looking
food than the imported article; this,
the Japanese storekeepers admitted,
and said they would take all I could
rel, paying the same price they are
giving FOR the imported beans. .

you take part in the authorized neigh
borhood movements for food conser
vation?" Mrs. Wilson wrote Yes"
The food conservation program I'd
be placed before American house
wives who register in Mr.. Hoover's
league, follows:
Save the wheat. This is to be done
by encouraging one wheatless meal a
day and the use of cornbread, oat
meal bread, rye bread, barley and
non-wheat breakfast foods.
Save meat. To do this eat meat
but once a day, is the food conserva-
tors recommendation. Instead, wo-
men will be urged to use more fresh
and salt fish, milk and cheese.
Save fats. By way of doing this
families are not asked to abstain from
having butter on the table. but they
are advised not to use it in cooking.
They also are requested to refrain
from frying foods as much as possible.

smokers in handling cigars, cigarettes

SUPPOSED BOMBS FOUND
NEAR WHERE HOLT ROOMED
Two suspicious-Looking contriv-
ances Picked Up by Chamberlain
Boy-Police Investigate.

Two suspicious looking contrivances,
thought by the police to be bombs, were
found on a lot in rear of vacant houses
near I'd and C streets northeast this
morning by young son of I. d. Cham
berlain, general secretary of the
Knights of Labor. and a companion. 1t
is said they were found not far from
the house in which Frank Holt, who
exploded n bomb in the Capitol the
night of July 3. 1915. occupied a room,
and the police think Holt probably
threw them where they were found.
Mr.. Chamberlain took one of the sup
posed bombs to police headquarters and
turned it over to Inspector Grant.
Detectives Baur and Pratt were as
signed to make an investigation Of the
find. They learned that the supposed
explosives were wrapped in black
paper and that the paper appeared as
If 1t had been faded by rains and the
sun.
Inspector Grant has every reason to
believe the instruments are bombs, and
that they are charged with an ex-
plosive He will turn them over to
an army expert for examination.
Should the police become convinced
that Holt discarded the explosives
there is no legal action they can take,
Holt having committed suicide shortly
after his arrest in New York.
