Germany took up arms to make it i'm
possible for liberty and independence

WouId-Be Hercules
Meets Death When
Strength Is Taxed

Koa, a Hawaiian employee of the
j. L. Young Engineering Co., was
almost instantly killed this morning
when an s-inch pipe fell on his head
while he. was at work on an oil pipe
line at Pier 16. t.-.
Becoming impatient at the slow
progress which was being made in
raising the piece Of pipe, Koa, bis
muscular man, jumped beneath it
and pushed 1t up above his head and
free OF the sling which was support
ing 1t. The weight, in spite OF his
great strength, proved too much for
him and, unsupported by the other
workmen who perceived the danger
and. jumped to places Of safety, the
pipe fell. striking him on the head.
At the time Koa was in boat.
Others employed on the pipe line and
who were witnesses Of the accident
were John Manu-, the foreman; Dan
Makahuna, Manuel Diez, John DEE.

Chairman of Transportation
Committee Urges Increased
Consumption at Home

John Warehouse. chairman of the
transportation committee Of the ter
ritorial food commission, says that
his committee, after an investigation,
finds itself unable to solve the prob
lem Of relieving the banana conges-
ton at Honolulu.
With a thousand or more punches
Of bananas rotting each week, owing
to lack of cargo space to carry them
to the mainland markets, and with
coast dealers cabling here for further
shipments of the fruit, the food COM
mission, as well as its transportation
committee, admits the situation to be-
serious and. as Mr.. Warehouse says,
there appears to be no solution G! the
problem at the present time.
In the opinion of Mr.. Warehouse,
suspension of the coastwise shipping
laws to allow Hawaiian bananas to
be shipped to the coast in foreign
bottoms might relieve the situation,
but another problem is whether, un-
der these conditions, the Japanese
shipping companies would be willing
to cooperate.
1t is pointed out that the Japanese
steamers from the Orient are loaded
down with cargo, in spite of the
high freight rates, and the question
is whether they would have proper
cargo space in which to store bananas
for transportation to the coast.
While considerable cargo "a I'm.
loaded from these steamers at Homo.
lulu, this is taken from the hold and,
II such space was filled with ban.
anas, the fruit simply would be
cooked" by the time it reached the
mainland, owing to the heat. Thor.
ough ventilation has been found to be
essential in shipping bananas, and the
fruit is generally placed on deck.
Home Consumption
In Mr.. Warehouses; opinion, the
present banana congestion is due to
an over-production. Local steamers
to as great an extent as possible, are
taking bananas to the coast, but in
spite OF these heavy shipments the
fruit continues to pile up in local
warehouses.
1T seems to me-" says Mr.. Water
house, that we will have to find some
way to use these bananas at home, but
how they shall be used appears to
present another difficult problem"
The price for Hawaiian bananas on
the mainland Is high, running up to
as much as $1.60 a bunch, and the de
mand is reported to be steadily in
creasing.
Within few days the Transports
ton committee may report to the com
mission that It Is unable to solve
the shipment problem. Asked If the
committee would further investigate
Mr.. Warehouse said today that he
could not see what else could be done
b A. L. Dean, executive officer of the
food commission, has a sample of flour
made from the banana, but he says
that the product Is not yet in the
market. A maitland publication is
said to have printed an article re.
Gently dealing with the making of .
very excellent quality of bread from
banana, flour. - -
How bananas may be utilized at
home probably will be one of the first
topics of discussion when. the wo,

ADOPTS
MEATLESS DAY

Like 20 Of the big mainland hotels.
the Young hotel has instituted q
"meatless day once q week for the
last six weeks. Friday Is the day Of
the week when no meat Is served.
turtle steak being the nearest ap-
proach to IL Otherwise oysters and
several kinds Of fish constitute the
piece de resistance. With the excep-
ton of Hartfe's restaurant, which
began observing a "meatless day"
once a week during last week, the
Young hotel is the only hotel or res
kaurant in Honolulu which has fol.
lowed the patriotic precedent OF the
mainland hotels.
Harry E. Stinson, manager Of the
Young hotel, points out that by leav.
ing meat off the menu one day q week
that one-seventh Of the usual amount
OF meat Is not used. This reduces
the amount of freight which must be
brought here from the mainland, as
much of the meat is imported" he
adds.
AS yet no movement has been made
to eliminate veal and lamb from the
regular menus, although this is being
done on the mainland. Manager
Stinson says that most Of the main
land hotels also have one day when
no white bread Is served
Many Of the imported Injuries now
appearing on the menus of the better
hotels will by necessity have to be
| taken off in time as it will be impos-
sible to secure them, Manager Stin
son thinks.
