PLEASURE CARS WILL
 NOT BE ELIMINATED
 DURING WAR, BOWEN
Local Automobile Man Thinks Increased Consumption of Gasoline Will Mean Greater Production of the Fuel.

q do not think it will be necessary to abolish the pleasure driving Of cars during the war;" said MT. J. J. Bowen of the Bisbee Auto company. local Goodrich tire dealers, in commenting upon the recent statement of a na- tional figure of the gasoline industry.
 If our aeroplanes, ambulances and tanks" demand a large part of our gasoline production it will naturally raise the price on that which is left in this country for domestic purposes. A higher price will mean increased pro duction, for it will then pay to drill new wells and operate old ones. which were not profitable under the old low scale of prices. This increased pro- duction will then, naturally, bring back to normal again. It is but the old story of supply and demand dem onstrated again.

WONDERS OF M|D-PACFIC ISLANDS
 ARE DESCRIBED BY B|SBEE YOUTH

Head volcano and then the rest of the afternoon I spent in roaming around the streets of the residence district. The homes are beautiful You can see a beautiful home with coral fence in front covered with vines and in the yard a sloping lawn with beau tiful gardens and palm trees. The yards are like Paradise and each home is so different you can hardly tell which you like best, for each is beau tiful. In the evening l went down into the Japanese district and saw the customs and ways of the Japanese wo- men and children. Met pretty little Jap girl. She could talk good English and wanted me to take her to the states with me. Stayed around there for part of the night. Saw several roughhouse fights and after having all the ice cream and good things I want ed I returned to the boat and went to bed. The next day bunch of us bought pineapples and I climbed a cocoanut tree and got some cocoanuts and we had a feed in the shade of a palm. Then in the evening I went down to few of the shows and anoth- CT restaurant. I met a bunch of Ha- waiians with ukuleles and they let me play so can say I played the luke" right in its original home. The little Jap girl thought it funny to near an american sailor playng the ''uke."
 went in and had a dish of that Ha- waiian poi. It doesn't agree with me. They made this poi out of plant call ed the taro plant. The stalks look to me like celery.
 Say, guess you and dad have read of the Hawaiians believing in human sacrifice. Well, when they make this sacrifice, which is part of their relig- ion they throw themselves into the hot lava of the volcano pit. While was there in Honolulu 26 Hawaiians, led by a 14-year-old girl, went to the vol cano and jumped into the hot lava and were burned to death.
 Yesterday was Sunday and today is 2hOnQdg We p1SSO0 IhC 4oO dian and it leaves out day. Seems queer, but dad understands why they do it. We were close to 800 miles out of Honolulu today at noon. Have about II more day yet before we see any more land. That will be Guam, where 1 will mail this letter.
 Just now had little excitement on the ship. Two colored soldiers had a fight and one tried to throw the oth- CT overheard He was locked up in the brig for it. Lots of the boys bought ukuleles in Hawaii and have been showing them every evening how to play. Have never been seasick yet and have felt fine the whole voyage so far. Am now about 1000 miles from Bisbee. Today is the 18th of the month. Well, as there is nothing to tell you of but blue water all around guess I will close for today and go read some magazines I bought in Honolulu

During the hot weather of the sum mer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest i'm portance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the med lcine is kept at hand.

"Of course" went on MT. Bowen, ''the thoughtful citizen is closely watching the little expenditures con- nected with his motoring-it being a matter of personal thrift as we'll as a patriotic duty. Whenever he can coast he does so, shutting of his gas. This item is so important here in this DOT tion of Arizona where the down grades permit frequent coasting, that mary motorists equip their cars with Sil- vertown cord tires because the resi- lient cords coast easily and long.
 Another thing to watch is the car bureter. Keep it always adjusted or it will eat up lots of unnecessary gas oline.
 When the car is not running the motor should be stopped. It may not take much gasoline to keep the engine running two, three or five minutes while you are waiting for a friend. but multiply this by million or so and you will find that the total would be used to run many aeroplanes for Uncle Sam over the German lines.
 Particular attention should be paid to tires. The best of tires need care and attention. Avoid driving in ruts and car tracks. Keep the tires away from oil. Go over the tires periodical ly for small cuts and abrasions. When you find any have them attended to immediately by an expert repair man. This is perhaps the most important point to watch in tire care-catching

Young McCleary, it will be seen, has already become a strong booster for the mid-Pacific islands and his letter will undoubtedly prove in teresting to many of his friends in the Warren district:
 Dear Mother, Sis" and Dad;
 Well, am pow on my third day out from Honolulu. We had a three-day stay at Honolulu. Went ashore two of those days; had a fine time there. Spent both days in visiting the city, went out to see the volcano, was in swimming at Waikiki. On our last day at sea before We reached Homo lulu it was posted that they would drop anchor at Honolulu at 1 o'clock in the morning, so we all slept up on the deck so as to see the sights. l went to sleep and slept sound until l was awakened by the noise Of the men on deck. looked out on the water and
  time it had been still for eight days. Then I looked over to the other side of the boat and l noticed in the dim morning light the outline of mountains and on each point right and left l could see the lighted city of Honolulu.
 Then as it became more lighted the lights of the city went out and we could see the green trees and grass all over the mountains. We were about a mile out in the bay. The ship was quarantined so we had to wait the quarantine doctor before going into port. He finally came in a motor boat and told the captain to pull down the yellow flag and give us all liberty to see the town. Everyone was glad and gave cheers. Then the boat steamed slowly in and as it did we could see in the water all kinds of fish. Several sharks came near. Then when we entered the docks there came dozens of little Hawaiian boys swimming around the boat and we were throwing nickles and dimes to them. They would dive for them.
 Then when We tied in at the dock there were fruit peddlers all around the boat selling pineapples, bananas pies and cakes at the lowest prices. Then we all put on our uniforms and were given passes for shore. The first place l went was down King street. It was about 9:30 a. m. I walked all over town until got up a good appe- tite and then 1 went down to a res taurant called The City and had good feed of pork chops and hot cakes. Then I thought I would see some of the town so I took a car and went out to the beach of Waikiki Then I went in swimming and saw the Hawaiian surf board riders and saw them come in on the surf canoes. Then l went through the zoo and saw all the ami mals. I saw birds that never were seen in the U. s. and many queer ami mals and then went through the aquar- ium or fish pond.
 I went over to the old Diamond

Peace And War
Com1ningled
(By Hugh Bailey

Omitted Press StaH correspondent
/ An Atlantic Port, Aug. 81
America s war zone begins at a
spiked iron picket fence, skirting
waterfront street in this hustl-
ing seaport town.
On one side Of that fences
movie shows with gaudy posters,
peaceful groceries, mother'y
housewives doing their marketing
women in bright, summary clothes
wheeling baby carriages.
And on the other side-yast
field Of parked artillery cassons,
grimly shrouded cannon, their
shouts pointing skyward, ambul-
ances, military motors, swarming
men in khaki, a gray atmosphere
Of war. This was the picture un-
folded today on a trip to the I'M
named port.
i Sentries march up and down
outside the picket fence. One
half the street belongs to the town
the other half to Uncle Sam and
those who try to cross the forbid
den walk on Uncle Sam s side
find cold steel threatening thei1
vitals.
Once beyond the guarded gates
the civilian who is permitted to
pass, if armed with the necessary
magic papers, finds himself in the
midst Of militarism. A silent
Sammy, with a big automatic
hanging at his hip, is always just
two PAGES behind him.
He sees row Of huge ware
houses, piled to the lofty roofs
with mountains Of boxes Labelled
S'hard bread,' "beans, " "soap,"
Those boxes will be opened in
France. He sees great court
yard, crammed full Of artillery,
all painted battleship gray. In
perfect order, each pile number
ed, he beholds thousands upon
thousands Of tent-poles, tent
stakes, tent-foorings, and can
vases.
There are ranks Of army wag-
ons with khaki tops like those Of
old prairie schooners, ranks Of
ambulances with stretchers swung
from their roofs, battalions Of
motor trucks, supplies Of every
conceivable kind.
In small open space, one COM
pany had hung it's wash-khaki
shirts tapped in the breee. At
another place, long file Of men,
armed with tin plates and cups,
marched past the cook. Occasion
ally a whistle shrilled orders.
Transports lay at their piers
ready to carry their staggering
conglomoration Of men and ma
temals across the sea, where the
hooded guns can flame into life
against the enemy and where the
men will await their turn to 90
over the top.
On one transport the sailors had
rugged a swing and were taking
turns in it like schoolboys. An
officer walked down a narrow lane
between walls Of boxes, a gray
haired woman on one arm, girl,
perhaps the girl-on the other.

THIRTY HARTFORD CANNERIES
FORCED TO CLOSE.
Lack OF Financial Backing And High
Cost OF Cans And Other
Material.

In compiling the statistics of can
neries in Maryland by the State
Bureau of Labor and Statistics, it
has been discovered that in Hartford
county alone 80 factories have been
unable to do business during this
season. There are 118 factories in
Hartford, and when 80 of this num-
ber close down, which factories have
formerly been putting up from 5000
to 1000 cases of tomatoes it can be
readily seen that Notwithstanding
the governments plea for an in
creased output that the output must
necessarily be reduced, at least in
the county What applies to. Har-
ford county applies to several other
tomato-packing counties of the State.
On investigation, the report goes,
the reasons for going out of busi-
ness is due to the lack of financial
backing in some cases, but most
generally to the high cost of cans
and other material. Scarcity of
labor is another reason. The ad
vanced prices of raw material, which
in former years could be bought
from 20 to 80 cents bushel and
now selling in some parts of the
State as high as $1.25 and $3.50 per
bushel, also figures.-Bel Air Times.
