Luckily the Stroller understands and readily translates all Indian lang uages spoken from Mary Island to Point Borrow either by way of the coast or The Yukon river. Of course, the old man, who is now IA years of age, spoke his tribal tongue which the Stroller recorded in short hand, a lit eral transaction being as follows:

EFFICIENCY in
FACTORY KEEPS
DOWN CAR PRICE
Increases Would Have Been
Huge But For This, Says
Paige Head

For the past lwO and half years
all materials going into the manutac-
ture OF motor cars have steadily gone
nm in priCe-in some instances as
high as 500 per cent. says Harry NJ.
Jew EFT, president Of the Paige Detroit
Motor Car Company. There Is hard
" one item that Is not doubled and
the motor car makers should be con
graduated on the ComparauVelN
slight increase in prlc" which they
have actually put on III" retail Price
Of automobiles
This comparauveIy small increase
in the retail price has been occasion
ed by economy in manufacturing ana
the lowering OF the actual cost OF
manufacturing by efficiency in factory
methods and greater production per
man yower. n it h. not been for
the great efficiency worked out In
the automobile lnCtories. this great
good to the American public could not
have been accom- iShed. Some OF the
greatest minds in the manufacturing
world are in the automobile Industry
and practically none OF the manufaC
turers turn a deaf ear to scientific
methods of economical! production.
These scientific methods have been
an especially important factor in re-
ducing the cost OF production whereby
both manufacturer and retail buyei
profit alike. Factory managers and
production experts have given special
attention to this phase OF the bust
ness and. where the production war
rants 1t, by standardizing parts, rout'
ing the factory, training the men and
adopting labor.saving devices have
speeded up production and cut down
costs to a degree that has largely Off
set the advance in the cost of labo-
and materials.
The employment and the perfection
of the mechanical conveyor illustrates
this feature perhaps better than any
thing else. The mechanical conveyor
Is used for the assembling OF the var
ious units and parts OF an automobile
The cars grows from a rear axle or
an embryonic chassis to a completed
automobile as II automatically travels
along from one group of workmen to
another

advance the motor car manufacturers
have put on their product"

Honolulu japanese Women's associa-
ton in preparing for participation in
Pan-Pacific food conservation ex'
hibit which, according to a letter to
the commission, is being arranged by
Alexander Hume Ford to be held here

it has no details regarding the pro-
posed exhibit.
Tho letter to the commission from
the japanese women is as follows
The Pan-Pacific club, through
Alexander Hume Ford. has requested
the members of the Honolulu Japan
csc Women's association In the COM
ing Pan-Pacific food conservation ex-
hibit to introduce the foodstuffs used
daily by the Japanese, to show the
methods Of preserving fish and vege-
tables as employed in the household,
the preparation Of palatable dishes
and the simple construction OF tasty
soups, the ingredients OF which are
obtainable in these islands.
You are thoroughly acquainted
with the incentive which prompts this
exhibit and to make this success

U. S. IS URGED
TO RECOGNIZE
PACIFIC UNION
Promotion League Points Out
to Secretary Lane NeceS-
sity for Exploitation

4. nth the announcement that the
w Melbourne government in Aus
w traita would send special rep
resentative to. Washington TO exploit
that country. it is expected that the
United States government will take
recognizance Of the Pacific-American
Union which was fostered by a. P.
Taylor. secretary Of the Hawaii Pro
motion committee.
Mr.. Taylor has written to Franklin
c. Lane, secretary Of the interior,
pointing out the necessity for the ex-
ploitation Of the Pacific-American
countries. He has also written to a
number Of senators and representa-
tives urging them to work on the
plan Cor a real organization.
Inasmuch as the United States at
the present time is doing much to ad-
vertise the Central and South Ameri-
can republics, it is thought that Alas
ka, Hawaii, the Philippines, Guam and
American Samoa should also be given
publicity At the present time this
is only carried out in the routine way.
With Australia sending a special rep
resentative to Washington, and plan
of campaign outlined, Mr.. Taylor be-
lieves that the possessions bordering
on the Pacific should be given real
recognition

CARDS FOUND
. ON PRISONER
u. S. Officials Puzzled to Know
What Accused EmbezzIer In
tended to Do With Them

Just what J. E. Higgins, former
employe OF the Honolulu postoftice
- and now under arrest on a charge
OF embezzlement, intended TO do with
two bundles Of numbered registration
~cards which were secured by Marshal
J. J. Smiddy when Higgins was placed
in custody last week, is a problem
which Is puzzling federal officials to-
day
Marshal Smiddy says that when he
arrested Higgins Friday evening he
took a bundle Of numbered reglstra'
ton cards from him, the same kind
OF cards that were used for enrolling
military eligibles on July 81. On Sat
urday morning the marshal searched
Higgins room and there found another
bundle of cards, also a numbering ma
chine. U. S. Attorney S. c. Huber
has some of the cards and the re-
mainder have been turned over TO the
central registration board.
Higgins was chief registrar at Aala
Park on July 81 when more than 700
men enrolled for military service. Fed
eral officials are not inclined to be-
IieYe, however, that Higgins could
have used the cards with any damag-
ing effect unless he filled them out,
signed. them and turned them over
TO men who had not registered and
whose names, therefore, would not ap'
pear on the official lists.
