When well rounded banks of ice on
either side held an automobile fast in the
car tracks of the b. & NJ. T. & p. Co.
yesterday afternoon, one of the north
bound cars leaving for Montpelier was
delayed 90 minutes while the anxious
chauffeur did his level best to turn the
auto out OF the tracks. Between Keith
avenue and Depot square, the auto
backed and then spurted ahead, but it
could not scale the icy ridges that flank
the car tracks on either side. Finally,
with the aid of the car operators and
passersby, the driver managed 20 reach
the level of the highway and the street
car was permitted to pass.
Due largely to the efforts of George F.
Ball, youngsters on the east side of the
city are now provided with splendid ia
cilities for skating. Skirting the city's
schoolhouse property at Gospel Village is
a skating rink that offers ample oppor-
tunity for outdoor recreation and by day
and by night many are taking advantage
of the skating privilege Two electric
lights of high candlepower tend to en-
courage the young people of that vicinity
to extend their recreation into the even
ing. Settles are provided and as rapidly
as one layer of ice becomes unfit for the
steel runners, the course is flooded.

SHOES TO GO NO
Higher IN PRICE

That the price Of shoes will not go
any higher during the next six months
at any rate, is the belief Of George A.
Brown, manager of the Regal Shoe
store who returned to Honolulu this
morning after a two-months' business
trip through the United States.
There is no reason for any ad-
vance in the price Of shoes, anyway"
stated Mr.. Brown. There is ample
leather in the United States to sup
ply the demand at present, and this
will keep the price at the present
level.
Shoes went up in price. last year
because the buyers took in everything
that they could get, and every mer.
chant filled his storehouse with shoes,
expecting continual increase in the
price. Now they have this supply on
hand and they have got to sell it, The
factories, in the meantime, are con-
tinuing their output of this product"

Hawaiian Crop is Unusually

. WASHINGTON, d. G., Sept. 9
The sugar situation has been thor
cugly analysed by Food Adminlstra'
tor Hoover and his corps OF assist
ants. They arrive at the conclusion
that there is not actually shortage
OF sugar that requires unusual con
servation in this country. All exist
ing troubles are from inability to
place the product where most needed
In making public the following re-
view Of the sugar situation the 1000
administrator says:
The worlds shortage is compara'
lively small and confined to Europe
With the stocks on hand In this coun'
try and Cuba and those now coming
from Hawaii it would appear that with
proper management, and with specula'
ton and boarding eliminated, there
need be no scarcity, even in the imme.
date future while awaiting the new
crop"
The review of the sugar outlook fol-
lows:
The worlds supply of sugar for the
present year is estimated at 1858, 192
tens as against an average production
of 1S,712,997 tons for a pre-war period
of five years.
While our stocks of raw sugar are
al present being rapidly depleted by
the assistance we are giving Allied
nations, that is but the usual condi-
tion for this time of year. There has
