HARD TO HOLD MOTOR
MECHANICS IN TOWN

We have the hardest time in the
world trying to get men to stay on
their jobs as mechanics in this CITY,
remarked the head of one of the best
known local motor car concerns yes
terday.
I'VE bring them down from San
Francisco on every boat, pay their
passage and in a short time, thew
quit, go to another garage perhaps
and then back to the coast.
We have had 50 men down here
paid their passage and gave them
cigaret money en- route and then
they've left us after a days work. sold
their tools and taken the boat back.
The only way l can figure it out is
that they don't care for scenery. be.
cause we've got so much of it here
in the islands" he laughed.

SCORE ARRESTED
FOR VIOLATIONS

Despite the warnings issued by the
police that all traffic ViolatOrs would
be subjected to fines if caught, auto
lists seem to- insist that they possess
the right to break all ordinances on
the law books. The motorcycle squad
has been working day and night to
round up violators of the traffic regu-
lations, and u persons appeared in
court this week to answer such
charges. And the campaign against
speeding, operating a car with the cut
out snoring, and running with tail
lights out, goes merrily on. To motor
cycle officers Ferrera and Branco goes
the most of the credit for this cam
paign. And it is to their credit that
every person arrested by them has
'been found guilty by the court.
Judge Alexander Larnach, taking
the bench in place of Judge. Harry
Irwin, who is i'll, has upheld the policy
of the court in backing the officers to
the limit.
Those arrested during the week,
with the disposition of their cases,

AUTORIALS
Being a Review of Items of

bile World .-s
/ THAT is the first question that a
M touring motorist asks after his

M touring motoTist asks after his
Wv first day in the city? And when
he finds out that the roundthe.island
trip, by way of the Pail. Haleiwa and
schofield is the best thing to make,
I what does he want to know next?
What are the conditions OF the
! road? - is what he asks.
And the average man, who probably
hasn't been over the road since Cousin
, Kate came from the Coast two years
ago or six months ago Immediately
says:
ats swell. round TO Haleiwa by way
OF Schofield but it's punk from Hale
Iva TO the Pali."
And that's all he knows about II. He
cant take the stranger around TO the
Promotion Committee rooms or the
Automobile Club and get the latest
reports on the condition OF the roads
for every point. .
Yet, a stranger going into most any
automobile club on the mainland can
! get the condition of the roads at all
points for miles around. Then he
knows what route to select for his
trip. ~. "
There is no reason why the travel
ing motorist shouldn't be able to get
the same information here. Now the
average man will ask How are you
going TO get that information without
paying huge sum of money and send.
ing a man around the road every day
to reports"
Nothing more simple On the main
land every gasoline station on travelled
routes reports by telephone to the
automobile club and gives the condi-
ton of the road for so many miles on
either side of that particular point.
Why couldn't the gasoline station
operators on the round-theisland route
telephone their weekly reports on Sat
nrdays to the Automobile Club or the
Promotion Committee.
Then when the stranger arrives with
his machine he will not have to start
out on a trip on day that appears to
be fine on this side of the island but
on which the other side of the island
may be having the worst storm in its
history.
GERMAN prisoners to construct
roads in the United States would
solve the problem of feeding the
hundreds of thousands of captured
soldiers now interned In France and
England according to a Pacific Coast
motor magazine. The remainder of the
editorial is a follows:
Likewise IL would settle the diff
eulty OF securing manual labor In this
Hountry which is rapidly becoming
serious. BY this means a vast system
Of new roads could be opened up with
practically no expense to either the
government or the various states. The
prisoners themselves would be bene.
fitted by the open air exercise. No
doubt they would welcome the change
from the European detention camps.
The scores of Germans and Austfians
now interned IN the United States
could likewise be used for this pur.
pose. Each returning transport from
Europe could bring back a few hun
dred prisoners who would be distribut-
ed throughout the United States for
work on systems already projected or
started.
This practise was put in effect in
this country more than hundred years
ago and proved effective then. 1t
should prove more SO at the present
DAY when we feel the need for good
rpads and many Of them" :

Death From Superstition. /.

A superstitiOus Buddhist caused a
mans death in Mura, Japan. A dealer
in clogs went mad, owing to money
troubles. His wife anu his sister con-
suited a Buddhist. The ignorant de-
votee. believing that the man was pos
sessed by a fox, advised them to take
him to Nose temple In accordance
with the request Of the mans relatives
the devOtee took the lunatic to Nose
temple, where he threw him In pool
beneath waterfall known as Shintaki.
holding him fast there with ropes. He
repeated the process for a few days.
Needless to say the lunatics health
suffered considerably by this extraordi-
nary treatment. A few days later, at
about 4 a. NJ, the zealot threw the
lunatic in the basin Of the waterfall
as usual and left him there for a few
hours. Before he returned the man
died from exhaustion and cold
Amazed at this result the ignorant BIZ
got buried the body in a temple known
as Takusonji In the same village, and
made out that the lunatic had died
from a sudden illness. The police,
however, heard Of the affair and ar
rested the man. ~
