KNIFE IN OAHU SUGAR MILL II
NOVELTY TN CONSTRUCTION

In the mill Of the Oahu Sugar Com
pany there was put into use Monday
Of this week new type of knife, like
which nothing has been seen here be-
fore. II was designed and gotten up
by the engineers Of the company, the
designs and plans submitted to the Ho.
nofu!u Iron Works which constructed
il. Thus the knife which is shown in
the above picture is the first of the
kind that was ever constructed or used.
The "hubless knife" differs mate
rally from the old style and has twice
the breadth at the hub and twice the
strength. In the old style of knife
each blade is boltcd on to the metal
piece that fits around the axle. The
Oahu type has two blades on each
piece. turned in opposite directions.

The axle passes directly through the
center Of each of these pieces. Each
blade piece is separated from the next
by east iron distance pieces which work
effoctually to keep the blades two and
a half inches apart. Added friction be-
tween the distance pieces and the knife
pieces is said TO be. further advan.

LEPROSY PEDDLERS
ANOTHER COURT PLASTER MAN
WOMAN USES PIECE-WAS
SCARED AFTERWARD.

Mitchell, June ga court plas-
ter peddler giving the name of Gil
Ian. was arrested here for abusing
persons who refused to p%atronize
him. He had a crippled arm and
said that he wanted to earn enough
money to take a course in telegraphy.
After the release Of the culprit. IL
became known here OF the arrest of a
German in Nebraska who was ac-
cused of selling court plaster infect
ed with leprosy germs.
While there may have been no con
nection between the two cases and
the article purveyed in Mitchell may
have been harmless, the police have
thought il a wise move to canvass the
town and advise people who had
bought the plasters to destroy them.
One lady is said to have applied a
piece of the stuff to a slight sore.
and upon hearing of the possible in
lection that might result, became
panic stricken and %besieged the local
drug stores for a~ntiseptics.

BRAVERY Rewarded
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF BRAVE
MAN HID UNTIL AFTER
THE WAR.

London Cby mail), June 10
Commander Gordon Campbell mys-
ferrous hero of the British navy,
leaped 700 junior naval officers in
promotion, became a member of the
Distinguished Service order and was
decorated with the Victoria cross in
less than a year and a half. Yet.
with a storm raging around his Sc
cret career, he is bound by naval
ethics not to tell publicly how he
won either his promotion or the high
hOnors bestowed by King George.
Curiosity started mildly, but when
Campbell and the admiralty remain
ed silent, the demand for informa-
ton reached the proportion of a pun
lie uproar. Campbell Is not criticix-
ed, exactly; the public really wants a
chance TO sing his praises. The mus
ic is ready, but English hero wor-
shippers refuse to sing a song without
words. which makes the present dem
onstration a clamor instead of a pop
ular laudation.
A high official of the admiralty
today assured the United Press that
C~ampbell's achievements and bravery
during the val deserve every honor
turned upon him. When the war is
over the people may know what re
did and how he did it. but for the
time his deeds must remain behind
the veil.
Just recently his name appeared in
the Court Circular as the recipient OF
the Victoria Cross, highest of all
honors for sheer bravery. so Camp
bell must have found something
more exciting than the command OF
the Bittern.
