done in regard to having the plans
drawn for the federal building to be
erected on the Irwin site, Prince XII

however, that in all probability York

former plans, would be the architect.
It is now some time since the war

get AFTER COLDS
TO KEEP HEALTH

The danger Of colds is pointed out
in an emphatic statement just issued
by the antituberculosis bureau of the
board Of health, which urges more
popular understanding of the fact that
colds are forerunners of consumption;
that practically all cases of the great
white plague we're preceded by what
is termed grippe" or cold that has
hung on" for long time.
A greater determination to cure a
cold will often forestall case of con.
sumption, and it is pointed out that
a cold is often neglected because it
appears rather an inconvenient NUS
ance than a real danger A cold does
not produce consumption, this point
is made clear, but it weakens the very
portions of the body, that is. the
lungs, which are the most frequently
attacked by consumption. A body
long weakened by neglected cold is
not in condition to fight off anything
worse >e

TRY new METHODS
TOIMPROVECANE

The staff Of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters experiment station is about
to start a new method of securing bet
ter varieties OF cane, concerning
which Hamilton p. Agee, director, has
the following to say:
Our work in securing better varie-
ties has thus far been largely confined
to the propagation of large number
of new seedlings, and the selection
CT few which give promise of excel-
ing the standard canes.
THE question of improving a single
variety, say Yellow Caledonia, by TAX
ing advantage of the vegetative or
bud variation among the individual
plants and securing by selection a
strain superior to the average run of
the variety, has been discussed from
time to time The proposition is sub
ject to many errors from uncontroE
liable factors, and the Dig problem is
to surmount these.
1--WE propose within the next few
months to investigate the possibilities
in this direction utilizing plan which
has been devised by DR.. Lyon after
certain preliminary work. In brief.
the idea is to go into field just ahead
of the harvesting gangs and test hun
dreds, perhaps thousands of canes by
cutting small section from each
stick, squeezing out few drops OF
juice and determining the density by
means of refractometer. DR.. Lyon
proposes that after once establishing
the average of field. those canes
showing unusually high density will
be noted and seed cane cuttings OBJ
tanned from them. Thus an effort will
be made to divide the Yellow Caledo-
mia or any other variety under exam
nation. into strains that vary from the
average in sucrose content"

The case, which has attracted a
good deal of attention, is one by
which Attorney Murphy sought to
have Mckay ousted as district magis-
trate on the grounds that he does not
hold--a license to practise law in the
magistrate courts of the territory. II
was shown that Judge Mckay. while
originally holding such license, had
not kept up his license fees and con-
sequently does not hold such license az
the present time.
Judge Edings, in passing on the
case. held that the law requiring a
magistrate to be licensed practition-

educational qualification as to fitness,
and did not contemplate that the mag

It's all in the way il is played. and
no less authorities than the Misses

Establish Studio
They have established a studio at

In reality the instrument IS in

learned the ukulele win be source OF
pleasure rather than an annoyance.
1T is simple matter to learn to
play the instrument properly and we
have devised a method of instruction
different from anything ever used here
before.

what the "haole," or white persons,
can do if properly taught
