Mr.. Editor: The writer would like
to put before the good kind readers
a few business chronicles. Verify my
beloved fellow-citizens and neutrals,
live not each within his own little
shell as doth the terrapin, for such
knoweth little or less beyond their
narrow confines, and are objects of
scorn and avoidance to their fellows
of wider vision. But rather be par
ticipant of the lives Of those round
and about you. For by so doing thou
gettest the more abundant life, which
is living some-consider we the good
fellow and follow in his footsteps
not the kind that liveth in gas
chariots and cabarets and absorbeth
anti-bone dry juice, for remorse and
headaches and a troubled mind are
his portion. But rather he who, when
he hath a gas bicycle putteth another
wheel under a tin bath tub and MAX
eth an attachment, or he who, when
he dickereth for a Ford stoppeth not
with the wheels and engine, but pur-
chaseth that which sells for $4,000
F.. O. B. factory. For they rejoice in
the communion of congenial souls and
absorb the JOY they make for others.
Then in thy business give heed of
them who are mindful of thee. Read
thy businessology and profit by the
dope contained therein. Whcr thou
induccth thy customers to buy thy
merchandise they will arise and call
I thee blessed, and thou can'st then buy
III quantity lots making more than
one hundred pcrcentum on thy in
vcstment. Thy crouch will vanish
and instead there will come peace
like unto that which followeth the
application of a soothing balm to
sunburned proboscis--thc balm pro-
prietors will show their appreciation
or thy appreciation by more good
works in thy behalf. Verify, thou
shalt be on intimate terms with pros
perity, and thy life be long because
of peaceful and tranquil mind

ARPLANES MAY
BE CARRIEDBY
MATSON BOATS

Suggestions made by U. S. navy Off
Gals when the Matsonia was survey
ed for possible use by the govern
ment as an army troopship include the
building of a hydroplane deck on the
liner from which scouting air ma
chimes can be launched to search for
submarines, it was learned today.
Whether the suggestion Is a prac-
teal one was a moot question along
the waterfront this morning. No &C
ton toward putting in the landing
deck will be taken unless the Mat
son liner is Communicated, and 1t pow
seems certain that the navy depart
ment does not intend to take over
either the Matsonia or Maui unless
great emergency for doing so arises.
The plan suggested, according to a
statement to the Star Bulletin from an
authoritative source, Is to build a
hydroplane launching and landing
stage on the promenade deck Of the
H:atsonia, in the space between the
purser's office and the deckhouse,
about 80 feet long by So wide.
Obstacles to this plan are two
matches and a mast Is feet high to
which are fixed the cargo booms. Two
steam winches for working the booms
adjoin the matches The only way
to get around the difficulty would be
to build another, deck 10 or II feet
above the present one, connecting the
deckhouse and the top Of the purser's
office, with the hatch tops flush with
the deck, so that the surface would be
perfectly smooth and offer no obsta-
Gle to a hydroplane launching or land
ing. The mast, which is now almost
in the exact center of the proposed
landing stage, would also have to be
removed to give clear surface for the
aircraft. This would make it very diff
ficdlt to use the twa matches for work.
ing cargo in or out of the steamer.
Whether the navy would mako all
these changes in order to be able to
launch hydroplanes from the deck to
scout for submarines, no one knows.
AS the Maui is a sister ship of the
Matsonia, the same changes would
have to be made in her Ito allow air
craft to fly from the deck. Several
liners, however, are
known to have had hydroplane land
ings installed recently, from which
scouting machines are launched
Plans under consideration for con-
verting the two liners into troop or
hospital ships are scid also to include
the placing of additional gun founda-
lions for four 6-inch guns on each side,
the conversion of the social hall or
women's toilet and bathrooms into op-
Grating theaters, fitting up the tween
decks to accommodate troops and
making other changes. None will be
made, however, unless the government
actually takes over one or both
steamers.
