SEVEN REQ TRUCKS
COMING TO HONOLULU

George S. Wells of the Royal Ha,
waiian garage is bringing seven new
three-quaTter ton REQ trucks of the
1918 model to Honolulu in the near
future Jast when they will arrive he
does not know as yet.
There is considerable demand for
this type Of truck in the islands. -
says Mr.. Wells. There is, OF course,
much heavy hauling done in con-
nection with the extensive construc-
ton work. in Honolulu in which the
machines would figure. Besides. peo-
pie are finding that the machines
are the things to do the work for
them"
4 ton and a half Moreland truck
having distillate burners was recently
bought from the Royal Hawaiian gar
age by Paul Isenberg and will he used
for heavy hauling in connection with
his dairy The distillate burners are
run at about half the expense of gaso-
line, says Mr.. Wells.

Won HAMM-Y YOUNG
IS BUILDING new
GARAGE ON ALAKEA
Extension of Service is Due to
Big Demand Owing to In
crease in Machines

A new public service garage Is be-
ing built by the Won Hamm. Young
company on the lot on Alakea street
just below the offices of DIR. George
Herbert and below the company's re-
built car station. The old wooden
frame house which stood there for so
long was torn down during the week
and as soon as the debris has been re.
moved the construction of the new
garage will begin.
1t will extend all the way through
to Richards street from AIakea and
will be 297 feet long and So feet wide.
1t will be equipped to furnish the
motorist place to leave his car where
tire and minor repairs can be made,
and gasoline, air and oil obtained.
The addition to the garage facilities
of the Won Hamm- Dung company fol-
lows growing demand for a place to
keep cars not only at night but during
the day, according to Edward T.
Dodge, director of the Won Hamm.
Young company.
Businessmen want some place to
keep their cars during the day, and
persons who have not their own "a.
RACES want place to keep them at
night. To leave car standing in tina
sun all day or in the rain at night is
Tninous to the cover and to the paint, =
declares r "odge. -.
For a Z a place to be put
there are ma ~ cars which now spend
the day in the sun and others which
are out at night. 1t is really worth
the price to give the cars the shelter
which will protect them from the sun
and the rain"
The growth of the automobile bust
ness in Honolulu has resulted in such
an increase in the number OF ma.
chimes in the city that more than one
person has found difficulty in finding
some place where they can keep their
cars during the day and the night.
Even several of the leading automo-
bile firms of the city have been fore
ed to keep cars outside at night, be-
cause Of lack,of room.
The effect of the weather on the
finish Of the cars proves that it does
not pay to leave them outside and
save the cost of garage rent. In the
long run it is cheaper to keep the car
under shelter during the day, If pos
sible, and during the night, anyway,
when not in use.

old Club stables which we're owned

The end of the Club stables marks

It was a pitiful group Of horses
that was placed at auction at the old
stables on Kukui near Nuuanu Thurs
day afternoon. They seemed to sense
the significance OF the occasion. to
realize that it was big step towards
the day when they should cease to be
used on the streets of Honolulu, at all
and that their place be taken entirely
by machines.
The purchasers OF the horses and
equipment were for the most part
Orientals and everything went at &
very low price. The demand was
such that greater price could lot be
obtained. l..

to ride horses in Honolulu at one time
and instead Of jumping into machine

would hire a horse and surrey for an

the idea in mind is to have our
own shops and machines and make
the school a complete one. We can,
however. work the plan in connection
with some of the local shops if the
arrangement could be completed.
This is something which will look
into while | am away
The public schools at present do
not offer a course in automobile con-
struction and operation and the only
means that young men desiring such
training have for getting it, is through
correspondence courses or by going

HONOLULU may
HAVE A SCHOOL
FOR AUTO STUDY
7. M. C. A. Looks Forward to
Time When Complete Course
Can Be Given

Although no course in the operation
and construction of automobiles will
be given by the Y NJ. C. A. in its
night school this year, the education
al committee is evolving a compre-
hensive scheme whereby it will offer
to men desiring to take up this study
in Honolulu unusual opportunities not
only to get the theory of the work,
but also practical experience. E. A.
Berndt, chairman of the educational
committee OF the association, who
left Honolulu on Wednesday on the
Maui for his annual trip to the coast,
will, while away, make study of the
Y. M. C. A. automobiles on the coast.
Rolla K Thomas, educational secre-
tary of the association, states that
the Y. NJ. c. A. hopes for course
in the study of the automobile which
will be run along the lines of the
courses in several large cities on the
mainland. In Detroit, where prob
ably the most successful, or, at least,
most noted automobile school is con.
Quoted. the distinct feature of the
course is the facilities for putting
into practise the theory OF the class
room. -. -. H..
THE course that was once given by
the Y. NJ. c. A. was dropped, but we
hope to take it up aga . later. While
our plans for the future are not spe-
cific by any means, we would hope
to maintain in connection with the
class room, a shop and machines by
ourselves in which the students could
work. .,~~. .-~
Several Y. NJ c. A.. schools on
the mainland have conducted such
courses with great success and we.
believe that the demands and condi.
tions here are such that we could do
likewise" >-...-
Mr.. Berndt will be on the coast this
winter where he can investigate the
work being carried on in some
schools. He will probably go to Los
Angeles and probably by motor. he
stated before he left Honolulu.
The growing automobile. industry
of Honolulu is demanding men skilled
in automobile mechanics. We FRO.
pose to prepare these men right here
in Hawaii through the Y. NJ. C.. A.

Through this course we can not
only meet this demand but We can
get into touch with more Of the young
