Trading With the Enemy Law
Prohibits Germans Travelling
Without Presidents Permit

At least three Honolulu firms who
employ alien Germans as travelling
statesmen on the outside islands are
suffering as a result Cf that portion
of the trading with-the-enemy act
which prohibits steamship companies
from carrying alien enemies unless
thew have permits from the president,
according to report enlanating from
federal circles.
The firm of H. Hackfeld & Co. is
reported to have had several alien Ger
mans in its employ as travelling sales
man prior to the passage of the trad
ing -with- the-enemy act, but federal Of
ficials have been given to understand
that these men have since been re-
placed by citizens. The other firms
are reported to be still ;. employing
alien enemies as statesmen, and that
it has been found necessary to Sc
cure special permits from the presi-
! dent to allow them to continue their
periodical visits to the other islands.

would be required to have the two
permits before tickets would be issu-

The two German aliens, residents
of Honolulu, who are now on the is

No Newsboys Required.

A Rochester newspaper has accom-
plished the task Of selling newspapers
without the aid of newsboys in the out
lying districts of the city. This has
been done with the aid Of a motor
truck, number of sacks and coin
receptacles. The sacks are placed on
poles or tree branches, and contain 20
to 40 papers each They carry signs
reading: "Take paper and deposit coin
in coin receptacle" The motor truck
delivers the sacks to their various po-
sitions in the morning and collects the
empties and receipts in the evening.
The returns show that very few peo-
pie neglect to pay for the papers they
take. The sales average 80 papers
to the sack, and represent additional
business. Investigation among the
news dealers of the city also shows
that they have not lost by reason of
the new scheme. It is evident that the
sacks serve class of people who went
without papers before, because they
could not be served by the newsboy
system.-Wall Street Journal.

Some Simple Remedies.

When we are called upon to assist
neighbor in times of sickness or acct
dent, we are often reminded of the fac,
that there are very few families wht
keep up supply Of simple family rene
dies on hand for an emergency. A fam
lily medicine chest is one of the neces
sites in the household, and every
housewife should understand how to
use it's contents. There should be q
place for keeping all the bottles and
packages together although it be moth
ing better than an upper shelf in THO
closet or pantry. Then they can b<
found without loss Of time, which IL
not the case where the bottles are left
scattered about on the windows ane
mantels all over the house.
The home medicine chest should con-
tain a bottle Of camphor, some good
liniment, few doses Of quinine in cap
sules, sweet oil, castor oil, paregoric
fiaxseed, mustard, sulphur, vaseline
limewater, and various other things
that have been tried and found good.
Should any member of the family be
severely burned, cover the burned por
ton with linseed oil and limewateri

CURIOUS thing about going to
Norway is the Indifference and

A CURIOUS thing about going to
~ Norway is the Indifference and
~ even the boredom Of the from
tier officials concerning your
personality, aims and antecedents. I
believe am correct in asserting that
the frontiers you cross going from
Sweden into Norway and from Sweden
over to Denmark are the only frontiers
in Europe today where there are no
formalities or intimate questionings.
Going from Stockholm to Christiania
nobody wants to know even your name.
AT seven in the morning, when your
train gets to Charlottenburg, the GUS
tomhouse men come aboard, lift the
lid of your suitcase, aimlessly tumble
a few seconds in the interior, bow,
smile, salute and depart. The engine
whistles, the train rolls on. In ten
minutes you are in Norway.
The Swedes, however, are more in
quisitive about you. AS you near the
Swedish frontier, going south toward
'Gothenburg, the conductor Of your
train hands you long list Of questions,
starting with the inevitable. ''Year Of
birth, place Of birth?' At the begin
ming of the war the precise recOllec-
ton Of these early personal reminis-
cences used to be severe mental eff
fort. Like a lot of recently arrived
tenderfeet nowadays, used to sit drum
ming deliberately on my fingers, and l
never handed the frontier police a
dilled-in schedule without subsequent
guilty feeling that had made years
error in that date. But two years spe-
cial service work all over the torn
map of present day Europe, has well
taught me at least one thing. Now l
know indelibly, Individually and instan-
taneously the date Of my birth.
Questions Vex Travellers.
However, the Swedish frontier ques-
tionnaire is not so disquieting as the
German, so silly as the Russian or so
perplexing as the Sicilian. When you
are going home the Russian question
naire asks how long you will stay in
your home town, back in Cook county |;
and where you will go after that. 1
will leave it to your own intuition to
discern the monosyllable reply to the
second part Of that question written
by many irritable and outspoken
American citizens. The Sicilian war
