School
TO OPEN AT PARK

Plenty Of fresh air, plenty Of games,
little simple study here and there,
and an occasional party or picnic
these are but q few Of the attractions
which should make the vacation
school at Atkinson Park popular this
summer.
Honolulu's first vacation school was
held last summer at Kainlani school
and was an instant success. This
summer it win be held at the big,
roomy park in Kakaako under the
auspices Of the Free kindergarten and
Children's Aid Association, which is
to bear all expenses and provide the
faculty.
The school will open on July 2 with
Mrs. Margaret Waldron as superinten,
dent. A special committee has been
appointed by the association to be in
complete charge. An excellent fac
ulty has been secured and instruction
will be given in sewing, carpentry and
folk dancing. Samuel W. Robley of
the Y. N. c. A. will conduct classes
for boys a few days each week. There
will be folk dancing, and lauhala
weaving, and an occasional party, pic
mic or excursion.
All children who have nothing to do
this summer are invited either to at.
tend the school as visitors or to enroll
in the classes. The school will con
tinue through July and August.

 A compilation of automobile data arranged for government reference and covering the year ending June 30th, was submitted to the automobile in- dustry by Alfred Reeves. general man. ager of the Chamber of Commerce, which is exceedingly interesting:
 'The production for the year ending the above date was 1,806,194 motor vehicles, of which 112,200 were trucks, the total value of both being $917, ,410,- 93S.
 Doing business in the U. S. were 23O makers of passenger automobiles and S72 makers of motor trucks in S2 states, with a capital investment of $736,000,- 900 and with 2S0,000 workers to whom s275, 900, 900 is paid annually in sal- aries. It was shown that 1,080 manu- lecturers of bodies, parts and access sories have a capital of s336,O0O,00o, employ 320,000 workers and pay $2SS,- 900, 900 annually in salaries.
 'Last year 1S,O00,000 tires, valued at $45O, ,O00, 900 were made. There are 27,S0O automobile dealers and 25.500 garages located in almost every town and village in the United States, and all are dependent on the production of motor cars. They represent capital investment of $1S4,000,000 and employ 230.000 people.
 Exports for the year ending June 30th were 64,S34 passenger cars and 15,977 trucks, the latter mostly for Eu- ropean allies. The value of these out going consignments. including tires and parts, was $i33,411 900. There are now 4,500,000 automobiles registered, of which 100000 are trucks which are | annually transporting goods, to total of six billion tons, incalculable miles and thus relieving the railroads of short haul traffic.
 In view of the fact that many deal CTS seem fearful that conditions in this l country may eventually become similar now quoted at $200 gallon, and the use of automobiles for pleasure is practically prohibited, we would call attention to the fact that conditions in 1 this country are quite different. A very large percentage of motor cal manufacturers in the United States are merely assemblers of their pro- l duct, and do not possess the amount l of tools machines, etc, that are uSeG | in England in the manufacture of the very high priced cars that are manu- factured in that country. In America it cannot be emphasized too strongly
 that the automobile is no longer al
 evidence of wealth, but it is an indus
 trial economic agent that has revolu
 tionized our whole social structure. ant
 it is safe to say that 70 per cent o
 the automobiles we have in the United
 States today are used for utility pur
 poses, saying hours of time for mel
 whose minutes are valuable, enlargini
 their capacity for work, making then
 more efficient and healthy. To cut ou

needing heat for efficient action. This is why cold weather makes it hard to start the cold motor. There is not a section of the country, even our sunny southland, where the colder months do not bring difficulties in starting We shall consider briefly the best methods of overcoming this condition.
 Unquestionably the best way of securing easy starting is by priming with some fuel lighter, more volatile and more easily fired than the or dinary gasoline that serves very well after the engine has been warmed up. An equipment for this purpose is very easily installed on any car. It con- sists usually of small air-t tight tank holding about quart of the prim- ing fluid and this is generally To- cated under the hood. A pipe leads from this tank to the inlet manifold and another pipe to a pump or other control on the dash. By operating the control small quantity of the light CT fuel from the auxiliary tank Is | injected into the inlet manifold, is sucked into the combustion chambers and fires at the first spark.

Probably no other problem of op-
 cration is so universal in its appli- cation, affecting alike the lordly twelve and the humble flivver, as that of securing ease of starting. There is a basic reason for this con- dition and it is found in the grade of gasoline that is now produced. The fact that our oil refiners now include in gasoline" heavier com potants than in the old days. renders the motor fuel hard to vaporiZe and

Federal Reserve Banks Considering

Federal reserve board officials have

bearing 3h per cent interest, are
noated.
Under the law reserve banks are re-
Quired to purchase at par $25,000,000 z
per cent bonds. These bonds may oe
converted into per cent bonds and re-
sold. By this provision of the federal
reserve law the banks have been en-
abled to avoid losses in the past. The
issue of the huge sum of new securi-
ties contemplated under the war finance
law has injected new element.
The need of revision Is said to be
more in the future than the present. 1t
is unlikely that the amendments to the
reserve law will be presented to Con-
gress until the next session. One pro-
posal under consideration Is the grant
ing of authority to reserve banks to
convert the per cent bonds, as they
are retired. into bonds bearing the same
rate of interest as the government 8
latest issue.
Federal reserve banks, anticipating
the situation, already have requested
the board to take action to prevent the
operation Of a regulation which appar
entity would compel them to retire the
per cent bonds at an annual loss to
themselves. approximately 625,000,600
per cent bonds are outstanding.

SUGAR MARKET.

NEW YORK. May 12.-The market for
raw sugar was very quiet. Holders
were again Offering freely at quoted
prices. but buyers were inclined to hold
off and await developments. The mar
ket closed quiet at 3-16 for Cuba s
cost and freight. equal to S.21 for CEN

Prices in refined sugar were un-
changed at 7.50 to $50 for fine granu-
lated. with only a moderate business
reported, as most refiners were still re-
stricting orders.
Further selling pressure occurred in
sugar futures, owing to the inactivity
in the spot market Wall street inter-
ests were again the principal sellers.
although Cuban interests also con-
tinued to offer freely. Private advices
from Cuba said that there were about
1S5 centrals still grinding in Cuba, and
that with favorable weather conditions
a large crop will be produced. Last year
at this time there were 11o centrals
grinding. Closing prices were to IL

Should we bend our efforts to prevent
a lack Of food supply? What is the
problem we are best fitted to help to

holders failed to appear. The imme-

the other direction, with buyers fran

Issuance of an official statement ex-

some quarters as indicating that the

on receiving actual delivery of the
wheat that the contracts called for.
Sensational gains accordingly sup

startling advances continued unchecked
right up until the last gong, when the
extreme rise from the low point Of the

heretofore had been relatively low be-
