master d. II. MacAdam announced to.
day that he is having a count taken
Of all shipments of foodstuffs being
made by parcel POST to Honolulu from
various postoffices in the territory.
Il am having this count OF food
shipments by parcel post made for my
benefit" said the postmaster this
morning, TO see whether it would be
possible to work out here plan OF
farm to table service such as has
been done successfully by the parcel
post on the mainland. aR.=e.---5

while II is tooJearly for me to at.
tempt to predict the scale on which
that service can be developed In Ha.
waii, nevertheless In view Of the pres.
emit urgency OF creation and distribu.

is question well worth while TO see
what can be done here along this
line" I -.
Postmaster A.acAdam while In
Washington. before receiving his ap
pointment as postmaster of Honolulu,
was in charge of promotion work done
by the parcel post division Of the post
office department, in encouraging
ranehers to ship their products by
parcel post direct to the consumer.
AS promotion chief of the farm TO

movement taken up successfully and
on a large scale In Philadelphia,

mainland" said Postmaster MacAdam

customers in the city, soliciting orders

Conditions Are Different Here
In this territory conditions arc
widely different from those which OBJ.
tain on the mainland, as climatic con,
ditions vary so widely from those in
the States. loubt whether fish, but
ter and other perishable products
could stand shipment by parcel post
in the islands, but am sure there
are various products which might be
shipped In this way. have found that
eggs are passing through the Honolulu
postoffice right now. although not in
any great number. My count will show
me how much the parcel POST is be-
ing used In the territory for food ship,
ments." ...-... ..~.- 49,.
The postmaster says that inventors
in the States are now working to de-
yelop a practical shipping case based
on the thermal container plan to keep
perishable products in a state of cold
storage while in shipment, preserving
them until they reach their destina-
tion. Whether this can be made
commercial possibility is not yet de-
termined. 49,.

r WASHINGTON, D. c., April %. =
The debate upon the army bill begins
in both houses today. The measure
is to be given full right of way over
all other measures until It has been
passed. Such at least was the program
of the administration leaders In both
the house and the senate last night
II is believed here that the senate
will certainly pass the bill as It stands,
drawn by the general staff and ap-
proved by the president. Certain
minor changes may be made In the
upper house but it Is thought that the
bin win retain all Of the salient fea
lures when II leaves the senate. The
house action is more in doubt. but Il
Is confidently expected that II viii
come up for vote not later than We'd

are optimistic that the main feature,
the so-caIled selectiye draft, viii re-
main intact.

New Sport Goats

The latest new sport coats are
made Of combination of mater
isls; a very loud stripe with a plain
fabric. The plain fabric is Of
velour and the stripe may be Of a
fancy velour or Of fancy crash or
fancy silk.
The coat has large pockets 1T the
sides, gathered or plain, but usually
trimmed with buttons. The long
sash belt breaks the straight line Of
the garment into modified natural
figue lines.
There are many other types Of
sport coats, most of which are some
what shorter; while some are cut on
novelty lines, the great majority Of
the sports coats are comparatively
plain. The new coat which looks
like . dress has proven . most
popular seller and may be worn for
either purpose, dress or coat, a. the
occasion demands.
The style features which make it
so serviceable are the buttoning all
the way down the front and the
medium width Of the sleeves, these
being somewhat narrower than a
coat sleeve and somewhat wider
than the usual dress sleeve.
The coat which follows the ma
tural figue lines in the upper Sec
tion and slightly flared lines in the
lower section is the one which has
met with the most favor. The flare
idea is for the most part merely
suggested.
The waistline is usually at
slightly high, normal or slightly low
line, and, in the majority of cases,
there is neither belt nor sash.
Generally speaking, large collars
are employed, convertible however,
and the sleeves are somewhat larger
than usual, many Of them in fancy
types, Of which the kimono is a
example.
The new barrel coat is making
hit, but in more modified form than
shown at the beginning Of the sea-
son.
