Two men, working under a
canvas awning which shield
! ed their operations from the
view of pedestrians, this morn
ing plastered up the coat-of-arms
of the Imperial German govern
ment which Is just above the door
at the Fort street entrance of the
firm of H. Hackfeld & Co. The
order to cover up the coat-of-arms
for the time being, at least, was
given by ]. F. G. Hagens, vice
president of the company.
Mr.. Hagens explained today that
last week a newspaper man called
on him and informed him that
unfavorable comment had been
made on the presence OF the coat.
of-arms. He took the matter up
with the commander Of the Ha-
waiian department and U. S. At
torney s. C.. Huber, he says, and
both informe.i him that such CON-
ment was not well founded and
that they could see no reason why
the coat-of-arms should not re-
main.
He adds, however, that since
such comment was reported to be
prevalent about the city, he
thought it would be best to cover
up the coat-of-arms and accord
ingly gave the order that the
work be done.

ADVISES CONCERNS
ASK RELIEF FROM
SHORTAGE OF OIL
Food Board Tells Hawaii Cor
porations to. Appeal to Ad-
miniStrator in Washington

For the time being, at least, the
territorial. food commission will be
unable to give any material assist
ance to the public utility and other
corporations in Hilo and other parts
of the big island which are SUFFERING
from a shortage of fuel oil, which, il
it continues, may force a tie-up of
Hawaii's chief industries. 4.
"The territorial food compassion is
not the local representative of the
national commission. and has not
been so delegated" said J. F.. Child,
assistant executive officer, today.
For the time being the only thing
we can do is to give the Hawaii con-
Germs our advice as to how to pro-
coed to obtain relief from the present
fuel oil shortage" ~
The commission has sent letters to
each of the aected concerns advis-
ing them to at once get in touch with
H. A. Garfield of Washington, d. G.,
who was recently appointed by Presi.
dent Wilson as national fuel admins
traitor. In the opinion of the commits.
sion Mr.. Garfield may find solution
for the problem. -@ 3
AS announced elsewhere in today's
Star-Bulletin, the commission, in a
letter to Herbert Hoover, national
food administrator, has suggested
that some sort of control be placed
over Hawaii's fuel oil supply. -

SKATER
HOSPITAL
MAY OPEN
Army Medical Authorities Ask
Gen. Wiser to Allow Civilian
Patients to Be Received as
Result of Queens Hospital
Action

CCORDING to a. wei defined
B ~ story reaching the StaT-Bulletm
I today a request has been made TO
the commanding general Of the Ha-
waiian department to open the depart
ment hospital in this city to civilian
patients.
Reason for the request is said to
be the refusal of Queens hospital
authorities to allow an army surgeon
recently to perform an operation on
a civilian patient at Queens hospital.
The request for the officer to be al
lowed to perform the operation was
made by civilian physician.
George w. Smith of the Queen S
hospital trustees said today that the
army surgeon had been refused per-
mission to perform the operation be-
cause he was not a member OF the So
called honorary board.
Rules of the hospital require that
any physician must be a member OF
this board before being recognized by
the officials Practically all that is
necessary to become a member, pro-
viding physician is licensed to sprac.
tise, is that he make apple ttion with
the secrstary of the hospital.
This doctor has never made ;a2pli
cation for admission to the honorary
board" said Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Smith added that he has been
told by DR.. W. c. Hobby that there is
an order from the war department
against doctors practising in civilian
hospitals His reason, however, for
the refusal to let the army surgeon
perform the operation is that he was
not a member of the honorary board OF
the hospital nor had he apPiieds for
membership. =
According to- an order published
here several months ago army doctors
we're not to practise among civilians
except in cases of emergency or at
their own station. The question arises,
of course, as to the station Of doctor
on duty at the department hospital
The postoffice address of the hospital
lis not Fort Shafter, but Honolulu. Does
this allow an army officer to practise
in any part of the city?

.HAWAHS FOOD PROBLEMS
AREPRESENTEDTO HOOVER
Food Commission Sends Full Outline Of Conditions, Orglng
That Government Take Steps to Insure Adequate rue
Oil Supply and Provide Tonnage Sufficient to Meet the
Transportation Needs
Pertinent Facts in Letter to Herbert Hoover

A failure Of our fuel oil supply
would paraIyze our industries. Coal
is not available as substitute and
our wood supply is too limited to
begin to fill the gap.
Il looks as II this soil situation
would need control, and there is
room for considerable economy
here in the use and misuse Of gas
oIine.
Without the use Of fertilizers
the production Of sugar would be
decreased fully 80 per cent.
In beef we have not yet COM
pleted our Investigations, but we
are inclined to think that we shall
either be seIf-supporting, or that
by economy and meatless days we
can make ourselves so.

Professor Gregory described the
geological formation of Oahu, and told
many interesting facts concerning the
water supply here. He advised using
the artesian well source for the city
supply, and urged that a commission
be formed which would have full pow.
ers to regulate the use of the water.
Although q person had acres of land
lie should not be allowed to use all the
water he can get out of his property,
said the speaker. Water is public pro-
perty, and every citizen has equal
water rights. 1t was pointed out AZ
the meeting that the water level Of
the artesian wells is dropping at the
rate OF five inches a year. There are
500 artesian wells in Honolulu, but
nearly half of them. are not in use. T.
Professor Gregory declared that al
cost of $4,000 a year for field ex.
penses, the federal geologiG office
would probably send experts here to
spend ten or twelve months in going
over every inch Of the island, and then
advising the best way to secure an
adequate supply and conserve it. The
speaker pointed out that the people of
this city must plan not only for next
year, and the year afterward, but must
plan an adequate water supply for the
Greater Honolulu which will have a
reputation of nearly 100000 within
twenty years. /
Governor Pinkham urged that the
Chamber of Commerce take immediate
action on the matter and ask WASH.
ington for water experts. F
"The national guard company now
guarding your reservoirs is costing yog
from $5o0e to 5000 a month. Two
months expenses utilized for experts
would secure years service of these
men and expert advice. 1t is entirely
a business proposition. .
Professor Gregory was asked a
great number of questions concerning
the water here. He stated that Homo.
lulu should take advantage of her nu
merous water sources. The artesian
we'll water was the safest. he said, but
until the people are taught caution in
the ways OF handling water, even tie
purest water is dangerous.
Elf you bottle the purest spring
water in dirty bottles" said the scien.
fist, lit is just as liable to contamina.
ton as though it came from a stag

A vote of thanks was rendered Pro,
fessor Gregory for his talk.
