COMMUNITY MARKET
ESTABLISHED IN KONA

A project which, It is believed. will
solve the vegetable problem of the
Kona district of Hawaii around Kea-
lakekua is being inaugurated by the
territorial food commission. In some
places the people cannot have gar
dens because OF the rocky condition of
the soil, in others there is nothing
but lava and the only tillable soil is
covered with coffee which grows so
thick that vegetables cannot be raised
under the plants.
At considerable distance. from the
roads, however, a large number OF
Japanese and native gardeners live
and nearly all have surplus vegetables
but not enough for shipment to Homo
lulu.
To bring these two classes together,
j. F. Child, of the food commission,
has started a small community mar
ket On steamer days people OF cen.
trail Kona make a trip to the postof-
flee for mail and he has arranged for
a place near the postoffice for the
Japanese to bring their products to
sell. The first market day was last
Saturday and IL the project proves
successful and the people want it, Mr..
Child viii arrange to have the market
open two or even three times a week.

wAILUKU. Maui, Dec. 17.-Conser-
Walton OF food has claimed much at
tention by Maui people during the
last few days. Recently a demonstra-
ton Of cooking war food was given
by Miss Blanch Mast and a corps of
assistants at Hamakuapoko. where
| Miss Mast is the teacher of domestic
science in the Maui High school.
4 public meeting was also held at
the Alexander House kindergarten
rooms. with Mrs. A. c. Bowdish as
chairman.
The speakers were c. f. Barter, DR..
| W. d. Baldwin, and Alfred l.. Castle OF
of Honolulu.
Mr.. Barter, superintendent of the
Haiku Fruit & Packing company.
showed some interesting experiments

ing company's plant, where several
varieties Of Maui beans had been put
up. He said the company was in a
position to do this work cheaply and
would be willing for 20 cents a dozen
tins to furnish the tins and the salt
and labor necessary to put up sur
plus beans for any person. who would
on WedneC 'ay and Thursdays of each
week. bring the beans with the tips
and strings removed.
DR.. w. D. Baldwin's remarks on the
cassava root greatly interested his
hearers. He said that cassSA could
be easily / own in Hawaii, that there
is no disease or pest that attacks 1t
as far as is known, and that It with
stands any amount Of drought. The
plant does not grow we'll in cold wea-
Their, so that the best time to plant il
Is the spring. 1t can be harvested at
practically any time Of year. In ap-
pearance loaf of bread made partly
with cassava flour seems the same as
the loaf made entirely Of white flour
its keeping qualities excellent. The
value of food is as great as the white
flour.
Mr.. Castle said that over one mil
lion people had starved to death since
the war began. He stated that II we
would observe one meatless day a
week, Hawaii will be selfsupporting
by March l, as far as meat Is con-
cerned. Mr.. Castle expects that by
carefully using home products be-
tween 100000 and $1.50O,000 will
be saved in a year.
A second demonstration of the prep
aration Of food was given this morning
at the Alexander House kindergarten
rooms. Nearly sixty ladies were In at.
tendance, many of whom brought, food
which had been made on conservation
lines, or brought recipes. Mrs. W. o.

Food Saving Is
OF Real Value In
Honolulu Homes

Honolulu citizens who have heard
Of the following incident know that
the food saving movement in Hawaii
is having substantial effect.
Royal D. Mead tells the story. II
appears that the japanese garbage
man. Ishimura. who for years has gone
through the Punahou and Makiki dis
tricts getting garbage for his pigs and
chickens. has found the food saving
movement virtually running his thriv-
ing collection activities.
He tells us that he is able now to
get not more than one-tenth of the
food scraps he used TO-" says Mead.
In fact. he fl finding out that it's a
useless Job for him 10 empty out the
garbage cans and take the waste
home to be deived into for scraps
which appeal to pigs and chickens.
There arn't any scraps at all in more
than HaIf the cans be empties."

Of certain powerful oil interests to
prevent the Rittman process from
making gasoline at low cost from
gaining a foothold in California has

It is claimed by the proponents of

the federal bureau Of mines has de-
termined the Rittman process is an
assured success and that it has been
found, according to the latest federal
report that California waste oil, worth
Q cents gallon, can be made into
gasoline at cost OF 8 cents a gallon,
oil officials declare that the process
has proved q commercial failure. The
claim is made that the establishment
Of Rittman plants in California would
force down the price Of gasoline to Is
or Is cents a gallon, retail, and save
users of the commodity millions of
dollars annually.

the railroads of serious part of their
former revenues. Due allowance must
be made for the fact that great deal
of the travelling done by motor would
not be done by railroads il the former
did not exist. Nevertheless, motors do
road passenger traffic and the fact APP
pears in the statistics of railroad earn
ings.
Automobile trade authorities agree
that the opening of 1917 will see no
less than 100000 passenger automo-
btles in use. The same authorities put
the average annual mileage per car at
5000 miles as a minimum. Neither or
these figures appears to be at all inf1at-
ed. On that basis the motor car mile
age for next year would be $4,000, 0OO,-
000 If the average load for all cars,
all trips, is three passengers, the pas
be $4,000, 000, 900. The traffic of the rail-
roads now amounts to about 35, 1000, 000,-
900 of passenger miles annually.
Y IF the average motor car load be put
plishment of next years motors would
still be $4,000, 00O, 900, q trifle more than
that of the railroads. 1t is probable
that two passengers is too low for the
average motor load.
For two or three years railroad men
have recognized a relative decline In
passenger trafiic and earnings, despite
the fact that this business does not
ordinarily fluctuate as widely as freight
traffsc between good and bad CONNER
cial periods. The automobile has fire.
quently been cited as q factor, but UNI
til recently its Importance In this re-
gard has nowhere been fully recogniz-|
ed. The enormous increase In motor
output since the middle OF 1915 is now
beginning to reveal It's logical conse-
quences for other modes of travel.
In the year ended June 80, 1915,
the railroads enjoyed record gross
earnings. but the passenger revenues,
they were well above those OF
1915, were below the level OF two pre-
vious years, whereas the freight earn
ings were far ahead OF those Of any
previous year"

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
STANDARDIZES TREAD

"a short notice issued recently by
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce sounds the death knell Of
one of the oldest customs Of carriage
makers-and its successor, the Auto
mobile Manufacturer. The notice In
part says, "Treads Of motor cars Of the
passenger-carrying type are now
January 1sD standard at not more
than 56 inches
Throughout the history Of Ameri-
can carriage building, we find that
carriages and wagons were made for
the Southern trade with a tread Of so
inches. When the auto made its en-
trance into the southern field, treads
of so inch width were demanded, and
were given inS answer to the demand.
Due to the desire OF the manufac-
turers to standardize their products.
there have been efforts made during
the past two or three years to get
away from the making of wider tread.
The Regal company being among the
first to abolish the practice. With the
result that the above Standardization
of the tread has been made.
However, do not think" says Mr..
Haines, that 1t is due solely to the
manufacturers that this new rule is
possible. A large share of the credit
for it's adoption Is due to the good
roads movement. The south has en-
tered spiritedly into the building tof
better roads within the past two or
three years. and these new roads are
being made with the provision for the
narrower tread vehicles. Undoubtedly
the large amount Of touring done in
the south by northerners and vice versa
since the auto has become so popular
has also had its influence on the
Standardization of the tread. Side
roads and remote highways still call
for the wide tread vehicle, but now
that the entering wedge has been
driven, the progressive south will soon
adopt the narrower tread as its
standard"
