To Keep Water Cold.

An excellent way to keep water cold
long time with little ice is to take a
pitcher of ice and water and set in the
center of a newspaper; then, by gath
ering the four corners at the top and
bringing the ends together with a
strong rubber band around them to
hold close together, the air is exclud-
ed. A pitcher Of water treated in this
manner will stand all through the
night with very little perceptible melt
ing of the ice, and even after the ice
does melt the water will keep cold a
long time.

said 1t had been decided to destroy

other airships confirm this. One OF
the men captured said lack Of gaEc-
line forced his Zeppelin TO descend.
The raid is widely proclaimed by
French observers as being definite
proof of the superiority of the air
planes over the Zeppelins. The day
OF Zeppelins for bombardment one
expert said, is over. The sudden re-
sumption of the use of German dirig-
iblcs is explained by the theory that
the raiding Zeppelins belonged to q
new type recently reported to be in
the course Of construction at Lake
Constance. No reports have yet been
received that the Zcppelins dropped

of the Zeppelin raid:
'"The first Zeppelin was brought

French front and behind it reported
during the night that motor sounds,
apparently those of Zeppelins, could
be heard. AS this information was

The Draft Well Handled

Hawaiis handling of the draft was a remarkably
fine piece of organization and execution, and MAJOR
F. j. Green and his associates deserve the congratu
laions of the territory. The success with which
the draft drawing passed off is to Hawalls cfedlt
and will stand to our credit in Washington.
Those who watched the count from yesterday
morning until 9 40 last night saw smoothWorklng
machine in which rapfdity and accuracy were com
bincd. Possibility of mistakes was reduced to
negligible quantity. There is virtually no possibility
that any man in the draft list will be done an inJus
ticp' by any inadvertence in the count
Particular mention should be made of the volun
teer workers who assisted the special staff of clerks
These volunteers were furnished by the business
firms of Honolulu. and Maj. Green voiced the thanks
of all OF the draft officials when he told the Star
Bulletin last night that these firms had come
through" very finely indeed in supplying capable
men for various duties. The readers and checkers
worked without hitch and with an automatic pre-
cison which helped greatly in taking down the num-
beers as they were called
Thanks to the draft officials also due from
the newspapers, which were given every facility Tor
securing the draft numbers. The officials recognlz
ed the great public interest in this drawing and
recognized also the province of the papers in supply
ing their readers with the draft news so that 1t
could be sent out over the territory in the routine
of responding to this interest.
Yesterdays achievement was another evidence
that Hawaii can handle large duties, and another
proof that if the actual call to service is sent out
the task then devolving ON the officials will be
capably done.
