"The fermented rather than the dis

"To transport the grain now used for
fermented liquor in the United States

now contemplated for the war trade.
This 120,000,000 bushels of grain Is

twice that of England. 1t represents
the entire grain food of over 15,OO0,OOO

JAB FROM THE LANCET.

"The enormous expenditure on
drink-even If drink were innocuous
implies corresponding abstraction
of wealth from useful and beneficial
uses. But drink is not lnnocuous. It
is the most powerful and fascinating

NINETY PER CENT ACCEPTED.

Wartime conditions have brought to
light new and unanswerable argu-
ment in favor of prohibition. 1t has
been source of no small concern that
no larger per cent Of the young men
OF the country were able to meet the
physical requirements Of the army and
navy. A Y. NJ. c. A. secretary has
made significant discovery. He has
ascertalned that while but 25 per cent
Of the young men from certain IL
cense state were accepted for army
and navy service, 90 per cent Of those
who enlisted from Kansas, the veteran
prohibition state, were up to grade.

DR.. CIdxtOn TO
Come If School
.SurveySMade
In Letter to Mrs. P. L. Weaver,
Shows Education Bureaus
Enthusiasm for Plan

Dr.. Philander P. Claxton. commits
sioner of the United States bureau OF
education. is planning a visit to Ha-
wall in case a federal survey of the
school systems here is decided upon.
In letter to Mrs. 2 L. Weaver OF
the College Club. which first proposed
the survey in letters to the governor
and commissioners Of public instruc-
ton, DIR. Claxton says:
IF we undertake the survey / hope
to come myself, for two or ahree
weeks, but my expenses would be
paid. if | come, and will not be charg'
ed to the territory
DR.. C1axtcn makes it plain that the
L. S. bureau views with enthusiasm
the plan to conduct a survey, here.
The experts who would carry out the
survey would be here for three months
at least. He also gives the informa-
ton that the federal government IS
prepared to spend about $4,000 as its
share of the expenses, this including
the cost of preparing and printing the
report
The cost to the territory is estimat-
ed at $4,000 at the outside. For this
amount three or more experts could
be brought from the mainland. Fur
thermore, various private educational
institutions, indorsing the survey idea,
have gone on record as willing to pay
their share of the expenses Of such
trip. Oahu College, Mid-Pacific In
stitute and Kamehameha School have
so acted
Yesterday Representative Clarence
Cooke introduced in the house joint
resolution requesting the survey. This
resolution, upon passage, will be sent
to Congress in the form of a memo
rial, this being the recognized method
of approaching the subject, and Con-
gress will indorse the survey.

OAHU MEMBERS At
WORK ONCHARTER

That native HaWaiians who are
members of the Republican party ia
Vor the charter bill now before the
Oahu delegation of the house, is the
summary of a statement given the
delegation this afternoon by Attorney
e. A. Long, representing the Hawai-,
ians.
The bill as it now stands Is salts,
factory to the people who sent me
here" Long said. They believe that,
under it, they, would have as good
government as under any other mea-
sure. But they prefer to have the
right to elect their own officers
Up to press time this afternoon the
Oahu delegation, deep in the consider
alton of the bill, had passed the first
seven preliminary sections of the bill
with the exception OF chapter 6, which
provides for the election of six, in
stead of seven, supervisors at large.
Discussion Of this section has been
deferred to be taken up, it is under
stood, with the Oahu members of the
senate 49,.
AS the members of the Oahu dele
cation went into session at o'clock
this afternoon to consider the charter
bill, rumors were rife on the floor re-
garding probable changes in and
amendments to the measure as it now
stands.
One report was that the delegation
would vote down the amendment pro-
posed by the Chamber of Commerce
giving the board of supervisors the
power to appoint heads of depart
ments. The delegation, it was further
reported, undoubtedly would retain the
present system which makes all Of.
fices elective, but would create the Of
flee Of chief of police, providing that
this officer be appointed by the mayor
with the consent of the board of su-
pervisors. Such action would tend to
take the control of the police depart
ment from the sheriff, making him a
civil officer
1t was also learned that the deIega-
ton may consider a provision whereby
the mayor will appoint a superintend-
ent Of city works, with the approval
of the supervisors.
It is reported authoritatively that
the Oahu delegation of both houses
has practically agreed that the charter
bill as now before the house should
stand with no other radical changes.
The principal feature of the discus
sion this afternoon doubtless will
hinge on the election of supervisors.
At present they are elected at large,
Various proposals have been made that
three shall be elected from the fourth
and three from the fifth, with the
mayor at large.

INTEREST IN SHARK
SKINS FOR LEATHER
IS SHOWING INCREASE

The interest that has been aroused
by efforts to establish wider utiliza-
ton of the skins Of sharks in the man
ufacture of leather has resulted in the
receipt of large number of letters by
the United States bureau Of fisheries
from persons and firms connected with
the leather trade or industry.
Much work was done by the bureau
during the past two months. At pres
ent it has on hand about 100 small
shark skins and so large ones. Many
of these were shipped from Seattle.
About 20 communications have been
received expressing desire TO expert
ment with this product and the raw
material will be supplied as far as
possible Manufacturers and brokers
have been advised Of possible sources
of supply and an effort made to inter
est fishermen in this fishery
In December II 500 pounds of hides
from Alaska were landed at Puget
Sound ports, and advices from Mica
ragua state that practically mex
haustible supply may be obtained from
that country. Tanned skins from
of persons are being received.
Several small samples received appear
very promising.
The possibility of using skins of
other fishes has not been overlooked.
Skins of several species have been or
dered for experimentation and will be
supplied to tanners when received

GIVEN GOOD ROADS
RIDE AROUND OAHU
WOULD Be RIVIERA

Nowhere else in the world will the
tourist view such grandeur as is seen
IN a drive around the island" said
w. f. Hardy of Nebraska in talk
before the members Of the Rotary
Club at the weekly luncheon today.
b Not even the Riviera, famous in song
and story, can equal that OF the drive
around the island"
Hardy completed his statement by
saying that the roads around OahG
were practically impossible. Buying
secondhand car. he had made the
tour with his wife and family but,
although his wife wanted to revisit
the scenes in the drive. he felt that
the conditions of the road were sucn
that he did not want to take any
chances.
Hardy, who is a furniture man and
a booster. suggested that the mer.
chants of Honolulu should do some
thing to remedy the conditions. He
said that it was nothing more or less
than a sound business. proposition. and
good roads would bring much to the
people Of Honolulu and should be
looked at as real investment. .
District Attorney Huber spoke on
the abatement by injunction law and
talked on the general outline laid down
at the recent meeting at the opera
house. He felt that the business men
of the city should take action against
the landlords instead OF the women
and their associates. He cited as an
instance the recent law which had
been passed under government super
vision in the District of Columbia
Harry Stinson, manager of the Alex
ander Young and Royal Hawaiian
Hotels, was introduced and gave a
short talk on thes road situation and
the tourist crop.

INSPECTION Of
MILK REMAINS
With COUNTY

Over the question of territorial or
city and county inspection of milk and
diaries, city and territorial officials
battled verbally this morning before
the senate judiciary committee.
At the close of the debate and after
the participants had filed out of the
committee room that body voted to
recommend the tabling of the bills in
it's report to the senate proper.
DR.. J. S. B. Pratt, president of the
territorial board of health, spoke for
the bill and Mayor Lane, Supervisor
F. M. Hatch and Supervisor Daniel
Logan spoke against it.
It. was between Pratt and Logan,
however, that the warmest argument
occurred. Logan stood firmly for let
ting milk inspection remain under the
control of the supervisors. This Is
simply another effort to rob the city
of its power" declared Logan as the
debate waxed warm. This is the first
time in, the history of Hawaii that we
have had good milk, and now the
health board would take this power
from the city and county. It's an.
other slap at county government"
DR.. Pratt sought to calm Logan, de.
claring that he did not. care to get
into a wrangle over the matter.
"If Mr.. Logan will come to my of,
flee, however, / can prove to him that
the territory was inspecting milk for
bovine tuberculosis tests long before
the county was" he added.
This bill was not made with the
idea of attacking city government. We
are carrying out the work on the other
islands and have improved the condi.
tons a lot in the last year"
Pratt asserted that the change
would mean economy, but this, was
doubted by Mayor Lane who took up
the argument, The mayor said he was
present as chairman of the board of
supervisors not because his brother is
milk inspector.
1t finally developed that only one
case of lack of cooperation between
the two governments was on record,
according to DR.. Pratt, who said that
the supervisors had not had a place
cleaned up Immediately. Lane point
ed out that so many improvements had
been called for on the dairy in question
that the board had felt some delay
was excusable under the conditions.
The committee will take up the
health boards plumbing bill tomorrow
morning. =..@s<

MAY KILL BILLS
TOPROTECT FISH

Three house bills, fathered by Rep
resentatiye G. P. Wilder and having
for their purpose the protection of fish
and other sea-food in Hawaiian waters,
may be killed next Saturday morning
when they come up for consideration.
1t is reported that the Oahu Demo
Gratis are strongly against the measure
and have secured the support of sew
eral members from outside islands on
the plea that If the bills are passed,
needed food will, be cut off from Ha-
waiians. The author of the bills, who
has given the subject much considera-
ton and has secured advice from men
in the territory recognized as being
experts on fish, declares on the other
hand that the legislation is badly
needed to protect the supply of sea-
food in these waters.
Already compromise has been ef
fected on one feature-the bill pro-
tecting Holsters. Originally the bill
prohibited the taking of Holsters less
than ten inches in length. There was
considerable objection to this and it
is reported that it will be amended to
afford protection to females carrying
eggs, but not otherwise. This much
protection Is felt to be a step in the
right direction.
Friends Of the three measures are
hoping that public opinion will come
to their aid and result in the passage
of the bills.

Both of these courses will, be car
ried out on the lines prescribed by
the American Red Cross Society, and
will be practical in every way. The
theory Of first aid will be taught, and
ample opportunities will be given each
student to practise the principles. The
treatment Of burns, bruises, sprains.
fractures, hemorrhages, etc, will be
given. The National Y. w. C. A. is

END Of COUNTY
rule IN SIGHT
OF SUPERVISOR

Because in several bills the legisla-
ture is attempting to delete powers
OF the board of supervisors and county
government, the board last, night Sc
verely' criticized it and the course be-
ing pursued was declared to be the
work of enemies Of the city and Coun-
ty government.
Judge F. NJ. Hatch told the board
that its legislative committee was op-
posing the proposed charter and asked
it to advise the committee as to its
stand on other matters.
A NJ Cristy, deputy attorney. said
that there were a number Of bills in
troduced which tended to deprive the
board of control of dairy and plumbing
supervision and other health and SAM
tary matters.
There are too many legislators at
tempting to do things which they
know nothing about" said Arnold 1T
is the work of people who meet in the
back rooms of the Stangenwald build
ing and try to kill the county govern
ment.
The board is continually blamed
for spending too much money and here
is bill increasing the salaries of sew
eral county employees and taking that
power out of our control" he added.
Logan then showed how the present
statutes for dairy inspection had been
put on the books by the initiative of
the county. He declared that the ter
ritorial control in these matters had
not been nearly so successful as under
the county.
1t was also pointed out that unless
these bills were killed it would be
only a few years before the end OF
county pnYernment would be in sight
