PRINCESS ANNIVERSARY
OBSERVED BY CHILDREN

Under the shade Of a big monkey
pod tree, with the birds singing on
its branches. the pupils OF the Kaiu-
lani school under the supervision Of
Mrs. Nina d. L. Fraser, principal, and
Mrs. NJ. K. King, musical director,
yesterday celebrated the birthday
anniversary Of the late Princess Kaiu-
lani, who was born October 16, 1875.
Before a large portrait Of the late
Princess kaiulani, which was pro-
fusely decorated with beautiful lima,
MALE and great variety of rare fow-
ers, which were furnished by Repre-.
sentative Gerritt Wilder, the pupils
OF the school sang and played must
cal instruments in honor of the late
Princess.
Mrs. Refs, who, during the life time
Of the Princess, was closely associa.
sentative Gerrit Wilder, the pupils
which is applicable to the Princess.
iuis feature of the program was very
interesting. The singing by the
girls and the rendition of instrumental
selections by James Hakuole, Jr.,
Henry Machado, Jr, LAM Hilo, Jr.,
and Charles Paaluhi, Jr., were espe-
cially pleasing.
After the close of the program, the
large girls of the school, bedecked
with beautiful leis, rode up to the
royal mausoleum in charge of Mrs.
King, where they decorated the cot.
fin of the late Princess.

sIeepsrs Not to Be Provided Under
War Conditions.
Westinghouse is announced by the
secretary of war that standard Pull
man and tourist sleepers will not be
used for the transportation of troops
under ordinary conditions during the
war. Day coaches hereafter will be
used on the basis of-ene officer to each
double seat and three men to each two
double seats. The new order applies to
all cases except Journeys of unusual
length, covering more than one night
and one day, which cases will be sep
arately considered when they arise.
1t is explained that the new regula-
ton is necessary owing to the limited
number of sleeping cars available for
troop movements and to the congestion
that would arise on transportation
lines If sleepers had to be collected for
every large movement of troops. More
over, by doing away with sleepers, it
Is declared, the number of cars neces-
sary to handle the movement is de-
creased by one-quarter.

RATI0NS FOR HOGS.
Breeding Animals Require Feeds Rich
In Bone Making Elements.

In order that losses by accident may
be prevented and the period of useful
ness of the animals for breeding pur-
poses heightened, breeders want hogs
with strong, dense bones. Since cereal
grains are low in mineral elements,
they should be supplemented by feeds
rich in these constituents.
When confined in yards hogs are Of
ten fed largely or entirely ON grain
rations, so that their bones are soft
and easily broken. Nutrition studies
conducted at the Ohio experiment sta
ton proved that cereals alone will not
produce normal growth of bone. Corn
alone and corn with soy beans pro-
duced the least bone. Rations of corn
supplemented by tankage and by skim
milk produced the most bone.
Because of their high protein and
lime content alfalfa and clover hay
may be fed to advantage to mature
breeding hogs. and in the spring green
leguminous crops may be used. For
feeding in connection with grains to
breeding hogs in confinement the ex-
pertinent station also recommends
lime, corncob charcoal, bone -four and
wood ashes. These may be fed in self
feeders, preferably mixed with a small
amount OF salt.-Bulletin Ohio Station.

to be heavier and the crop finer o

out having tasks assigned him and Is
above all so thoroughly careful and re-
liable that an aviator can feel perfect
ly confident while flying an aeroplane
he has been working on Is desirable
for the flying corps. On account of the
nature of the work 1t becomes impera-
tive to remove man who shows the
slightest signs of carelessness.
Qualifications for an enlisted pilot are
mainly physical and psychological, and
men for this position will be chosen
for their suitable qualities. In general
the man should be absolutely perfect
as regards heart, eyesight, digestion,
sense OF equilibrium and nervous sys-
tenn. He should not be over thirty
years old. There should be no question
as to the quality Of his nerve" This
does not mean recklessness. The man
who has undermined his constitution
with dissipation will not be chosen.
Marines assigned to the flying corps,
whether trained as pilots or not, re-
ceive 80 per cent increase on their pay
and so cents per day for extra duty as
aviation mechanics. The crew of each
aeroplane consists of the chief me-
chanic,, with rank of gunnery sergeant
or sergeant; one reconnaissance Off
Ger as motor man, one noncommission-
ed officer as plane and wire man and
two pfivates as helpers. From this 1t
can be7seen that the flying corps needs
comparatively few men who are not
suitable for noncommissioned officers.
Enlisted men in the navy flying corps
have unusual opportunities not only
for advancement in rank, but they re-
ceive an excellent mechanical course of
training which will fit them for good
position In civil life.
Enlisted men assigned to aviation,
regardless OF their rank. are treated as
students until they have been given
a thorough course of training In han
ding. cleaning and repairing aerOplanes
and motors on the ground. They are
then trained in assembling aeroplanes
and lining them up properly. Next they
are given a thorough course in disas.

making all adjustments to each type
of aeroplane motor used at the station

DAIRY cow RATIONS.
important That Roughase Be Used e
Lower Cost of Feed.

important That Roushase Be Used to
Lower Cost of Feed.
Since roughage is usually grown on
the farm the skillful feeder will have
the COW eat as much of it as possible,
for by so doing the expense of concen-
trated feeds is reduced. F. S. Putney
Of the dairy husbandry department at
the Pennsylvania State college gives
the following general rules for feeding
roughage:
Feed two and one-half to three and
one-half pounds of silage for each 100
pounds of live weight of COW. Most
cows seem to prefer about three
pounds.
Feed five-tenths to eight-tenths of a
pound of hay or its equivalent, in addi-
ton to silage, for each 100 pounds live
weight of COW. Most cows seem to
prefer about six-tenths of a pound
when fed a grain mixture of one pound
grain for each three pounds of milk
produced. The quality of the rough
age will have much to do with the
amount consumed; hence some cows
may eat one pound of hay for each 100
pounds live weight, in addition to the
silage.
Where silage or other succulent feed
Is lacking cows will eat from one and
six-tenths to two pounds OF roughage
for each 100 pounds live weight.
In selecting concentrated feeds pala-
liability, bulk, variety and effect on
health should be considered. The great
est consideration, however, for profita-
bic feeding is cost.
