BISHOP NEW
 ASSISTANT IN
 SELLING END

Announcement has been made by C. B. Voorhis, general sales manager of the Nash Motors company, Kenosha, Wisconsin. of the appointment of R. F. Bishop to the post of assistant sales manager MT. Bishop has just resigned the position of general sales manager of the King Motor Car company, De- troit, to join the Nash organization, according to information received by McArthur Brothers, local Nash dis tributorS.
 An unusually wide and varied ex- perience in the motor car industry fits MT Bishop particularly well for his new work says MT. Voorhis. There are few executives in the automobile world who enjoy a wider acquaintance among dealers and distributors
 Early in life MT. Bishop recognized opportunities in the selling end of the automobile industry. Immediately after leaving college he laid the foundation for a successful sales career by gain- ing a practical working knowledge of automobiles. This knowledge he gained by laboring in a machine shop and as all-around man in garages and found- rieS.
 In 1909 Bishop joined the Buick company as a member of the cost de- partment, and was not long in winning promotion to the managership of the department in plant No. 1. Subse- quently he took charge of one entire division of the Buick cost department.
 Meantime, MT. Bishop was further ing his practical education spending four nights week in the Buick fac- tory endeavOring to get more knowl- edge of the mechanical end of the au- tomobile business. In two years he was ready to try his wings at selling, and got a flying start. After three months on the road, he took charge of sales for the Cutting Motor Car com pany of Jackson, Michigan. He re- mained with this company until 1914, when he joined the King Motor Car company, Detroit, as special represent ative.
 Appointment as assistant sales man. ager came early in 1915, which was soon followed by promotion to the of flee of general sales manager. This | latter position he held until his recent selection as assistant head of the fast growing Nash sales organization.

 Before closing the deal, MT Gardner. who is a thorough mechanic gave over number of days to q thorough inspection of the manufacture of the tractor at the factory and was much impressed not only by the tests to which the product was subjected, but the thorough manner in which it was assembled
 Another thing that greatly influ- cnced him in signing the contract was the excellent metals selected for the various parts.

 As in the case of the s1,000, 900 pur- chase of the first liberty loan, em- ployes of the corporation will be given an opportunity to buy bond. of one of the denominations on the partial payment plan. This method was found to be very satisfactory and successful at the time of the first loan, hundreds of the employees of the factories in South Bend and Detroit taking ad- vantage of the opportunity to show their patriotism in a good substantial manner. The corporation. Mir Erskne asserts, will probably dispose of at least $900,000 worth of the second liberty loan bonds in this way.
 The subscriptions are not a gift but loan to the government" said MT. Erskine in a bulletin posted in the big factories. Tn exchange for this loan you receive government bonds which are today the safest security in the world. and pay four per cent interest.
 It is the patriotic duty, and should be the privilege, of every man and woman in America to buy these bonds.
 The Studebaker corporation has subscribed for 100000 of these bonds and to assist it's employees in showing their patriotism and appreciation by doing their part, it will sell 300,G ,G00. or more, of these bonds to it's employees on exceptionally easy payment terms which will enable them to help the country without suffering serious de- privation.''

My experience in the sale of motor guson and Keeler company, local Olds- mobile distributors, to an Arizona Re- publican reporter a day or two ago. has proven that driving car is greatly beneficial to the nerves of wo- mankind. Whether woman has been busy at household duties, shopping or just tired from social activities. to get into car and drive for an hour or two refreshes her in an amazing way
 This is not theory of my own. I have been told these things by many women who drive Oldsmobiles and oth- CT cars
 One of these women recently stated that when driving the body becomes alert and the mind becomes clear of everything but driving Sitting be- hind the wheel she said, constantly attentive to the handling of my car.

 MT. Ferguson also stated that an ever increasing number of women were driving Oldsmobiles and attributes the fact not entirely to their beauty and appointments which naturally appeal to the feminine instinct but also be- cause women had discovered that lit tie effort was needed to operate the clutch and that the brakes responded to the slightest foot pressure of the brake pedal

The fact that the announcement of a light car as a rival to the Ford is being built by the Overland company has caused so much comment. that the following from Motor Age will no doubt prove of interest to a great many light car enthusiasts.

The announcement that the new Overland car which is to rival the Ford has been completed, tested and settled in every detail comes as the expected and long looked for in the cheap car field.

HILO. Hawaii, Aug. 13.-Dr. E. s.
Goodhue of this city has received in
formation from the secretary Of the
American Field Service that there is
great need for auto truck drivers for

Men of the draft age could go into

Ambulance drivers are not in so
great a demand just now and we are
only accepting them when they are
below twenty-one years of age, or over
thirty-one years"
DR.. Goodhue adds that any young
man wishing to serve in the capacity
outlined above can apply to him for
further information. That there will
be an instant response to the call
goes without saying. There are plenty
of young men on this island who are
capable drivers and who could be

CATHOLICSNOT
ASKED To AID

But They May Donate IndiVid-
uaIIy, Says Bishop Libert-
Back From Mainland

Catholics in Hawaii will not be
asked to contribute to the million
dollar war relief fund which the
Knights OF Columbus are raising in
the mainland. says the Ri. Rev. H.
Libert, bishop of Zeugma, who re-
turned from a two months visit to
California on the Matsonia this morn
ing.
This is due to the fact that the
amount first requested has already
been over-subscribed in the United
States. No other war relief subscrip-
tions will be solicited in the islands,
he thinks at present, although all
Catholics are at liberty to make in
dividual donations to any fund they
wish.
Bishop Libert went to California
partly on church business and partly
for a vacation. He did not leave Cali
fornia, but travelled considerably about
that state. The nature of the church
business he transacted on the coast
he states is private, and he announces
he has no special message for his
diocese He would not discuss Pope
Benedicts peace proposals, as given
by the Associated Press in the Star
Bulletin yesterday.
While away Bishop Libert met Rev.
FIR. Stark, a Paulist father who was
here with a church mission a number
of years ago. He is now attached to
st. Mary's Old Cathedral in San
Francisco and expressed the hope to
Bishop Libert that he might again

That the California vacation was
beneficial to the Honolulu churchman
is very apparent.

PATE seems inclined TO keep Stan
ley Kennedy. passenger agent OF
the Inter-Island, from becoming an
officer in the United States army.
Ever since the war with Germany
began something has interfered with
every plan he has made for getting
a commission, although he has availed
himself OF every opportunity
To begin with, details Of how to
enter the first officers training camp
at Preside reached here too late for
him to file his application. This was
a disappointment, as many of his
Stanford college classmates were en-
rolled. their college records being &C
cepted in nearly all cases as proof
that they were good material for
army officers.
Then Stanley determined to enroll
in the second camp which opens in
San Francisco on August 81 He made
arrangements to secure leave Of alb
sence from his Honolulu duties and
left for the coast the early part OF
last month, but found, when reaching
San Francisco. that there were so
many applications he stood no chance
Of being accepted. He then went
East and his address has not been
permanent since.
in the meantime, announcement
was made here that a training camp
for 100 students was to be opened
at Schofield Barracks This was un-
known to Stanley, but friends here
busted themselves in his behalf and
assurance that he would be admitted
to the Schofield camp was secured, it
is said.
With all arrangements completed
for his enrolment as soon as he re-
turned, a cable was despatched to
linn st his last known address. This
was several days ago but the cable
company has been unable to deliver
the message as he cannot be located.
Unless he is now on his way home,
it is asserted that 1t is too late for him
to be enrolled in the Schofield camp.
So what may be Stanley's third and
last chance to become an army Of
ficer has been missed, his friends
fear.
