for this purpose cannot be spared. More

GENEVA, December 26-The Geri
man emperor, returning with his staff
from the Verdun front, had a narrow
escape during the reprisal raid of a
British air squadron on Mannheim,
Christmas Eve, according to despatch
from Basel. The ,emperor's special
train left the station an hour before II
was partly destroyed by several bombs.
A section Of the tracks was torn up,
cutting Communication north.
In fact, the emperor's train was
the last to leave Mannheim, and no
trains arrived at Basel yesterday from
that city. Two bombs fell on the
palace and one on the suspension bridge
across the Neckar River, both struc-
lures being badly damaged. An am
munition factory in q north suburb
was blown up. Few persons were killed
at the factory, however, as the en-
ployes were having holiday. A com
niderable number of persons were kill
cd or injured within the town and
several were blown into the Rhine.

MAU|CORNMEAL TO !

Others Plan TO Have Supply 7
For Their Customers

Maui cornmeal win soon be for sale
by Honolulu grocers, as an aid to the
supply Of home products, the eonserva.
tion Of wheat flour, the saving Of trans.
portation and as an addition of value
TO the home menu. Shipments are ex.
pected next week. E.s.,. o..
PROFESSIONALLY the price will be
much lower than that of the import.
ed cornmeal, although the grocers do
not give any price until their ship.
ments arrive. The fact Of this product
being home grown, ground, and
only shipped from one island TO another
should operate to insure a price con
siderably less than that Of meal
which is shipped from California OF
the Middle West all the way to Hawaii.
Order Already Placed
shipment Of the Maui meal Is ex-
peeted by Henry May & Co. early in
the week, as supply has been ordered
by them from w. A. Clark, the origin
ator and first producer Of cornmeai in
the Territory. The meal win be sold In
tive.pound bags. 81.
Mays price on, imported cornmeal
in five pound bags Is 40c, and George
Bustard, acting manager in the absence
Of Captain Percy Swift, said yester-
day that the island meal would be sold
at n price no higher and probably
lower than the California article Nays
have also written to Hawaii to learn
II any cornmeal is being ground there.
@. J. Day &. Co. received q sample
of the meal from Maui q week ago, and
will probably order a supply. At J.
M. Levy's 1t was said they hoped to re-
eeiye a shipment Of Maui eorRmeal this
week. Yee Hops have none at present.
Quality Is Excellent
The samples OF Maui meal received
here were said by local grocer to be
Of excellent quality. They are slight.
" coarser than the imported meal,
with more unevenness Of texture, but
containing all the nourishment and
flavor Of, the grain from which it is
made. A japanese whose name Is Inst
ed at the food commission is putting
up meal in three, FIVE and ten pound
bags. It is especially graded and the
name and weight are stamped on every
bag. Other Maui cornmeal makers
may do the same when the demand be-
comes stabilized. 49,. ~,

turned from Camp Cody, Deming. N.

Gus secretary for the Young Mems

three months leave of absence from

Rev. Mr.. Pamp is enthusiastic over
the high health standard maintained
at Cody, which stood near the top in
the list of military camps in the coun-
Try on the last report. Cody had the
lowest record of social diseases of
any OF the army camps, with six cases
on the latest report. s

Overland Owner Has Three
Drivers for but One Car

J. J. Curt is the owner OF an Over
land Model 86 purchased in 1915,
which has hardly stopped going once
during the entire period.
Curt uses his Overland as a bus,
carrying passengers between Duryea
and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Last April
his total recorded mileage was l04-
900. During all of this remarkable
service, he has never had the car
in for repairs and four of the original
spark plugs are still in use.
He keeps his car almost contin-
uously on the move and employs
three drivers; the first fom E in the
morning until noon, another driver
from noon till 6 in the evening. and
still another who drives the car until
! in the morning. Mr. Curt says that
for year the radiator has never been
cold.
"The motor and all working parts
are still in good condition in spite
of the hard service this car has been
through" said Mr.. Curt, "and it is
running as we'll today as it ever did"

Making Campaign on Auto
Owners with Br.uht LiuhtS

Papers of the state are making q
campaign against autoists who drive
with their headlights turned on full
flare. Here is one from the Loomis
Sentinels
Autoists who have complied with
the anti-glare headlight law find little
profit In such compliance when they
are compelled to fairly feel their way
past the binding headlights OF other
cars whose owners have ignored the
staAte. This is plain violation OF
law enacted about year ago aud ap-
plies to rural districts as we'll as to
cities, where it is strictly enforced.
Compliance with the law Is neither
difficult nor expensive, and as the
practice is fraught with danger when
cars are passing each other in oppo-
site directions, the law should, and
doubtless will be enforced everywhere
in time.

Engage New Teachers. /
To fill the vacancies in the staff
several new teachers have been en-
gagged. The faculty will be smaller

rollment which is expected because
Of war conditions. Miss May Som

Miss Pearl Roekfellow, former teach
ers of German, have been transferred

"The Great War" will be a new
course dealing with the causes and
phases OF the war, which will be

Dry the Ton.

Never fold the top while It is wet.
II the car has been driven through
the rain, keep the top up until it is
thoroughly dry, because a wet or
damp top folded up will mildew,
which very quickly destroys the fab
ric. In folding the top take care to
get each fold even and eliminate all
wrinkles. The metal frame pieces
should be separated by rubber pads
wherever they rub together and the
whole should be firmly secured by
straps, so as to prevent rubbing and
rafting.

Skeptical Farmers Change
Minds. About M0t0; Trucks

It IS surprising, according to J. M.
Opper Of the Jones Opper company,
to note the change in the attitude OF
the farmers regarding the modern
motor truck. Many who are ex-
tremely skeptical as to the use OF
trucks in this territory, have been
forced to recognize the motor truck
through the activities Of many of their
neighbors. Many farmers who voiced
their opinions that Nebraska roads
were not suited for truck use have
their judgement upset many times by
their more progressive neighbors.
The Jones Opper company have ar.
ranged quite an elaborate display OF
trucks and truck-bodies at the State
fair at Lincoln and Mr.. Opper feels
certain that their efforts will influence
much serious consideration on the
part of the farmers.

Farmers Going to Buy
Trucks for Their Use
On Cornhusker Farms

The 1918 state fair at Lincoln, ac-
cording to Carl Changstrom of the
Standard Motor Car company, brings
to the more serious consideration Of
trucks as the means Of supplementary
the man-power shortage and increas-
ing transportation efficiency. Many
farmers have decided to buy motor
trucks and the actual purchase has
been held off until such times as are
able to make Though investigation
on the various trucks.
The state fair will offer the oppor-
tunity which farmers have been seek
ing and an opportunity to compare
various points by points.

Grinding in Transmission.

When q grinding noise is heard
in the transmission case, it will be
found to be caused by one of the
following conditions; fabrication fail
ure, either the oil has leaked out or
is too thin in body to do its ap-
pointed task, the shafts may be out
of alignment, bearings may be. bad
ly worn or broken or there may be
chips from injured teeth in the case.
Whatever the cause, it should be run
down and eliminated, Immediately.

Internal Short.

When one OF the cells shows 4
loss of specific gravity in its elec-
trolyte of so or rs points and no
leak can be discovered, an internal
short circuit is indicated and should
be remedied at once. Whenever il is
more than 20 points below that of
the other cells. there is trouble some
where and it should be run down
without delay, even if it is necessary
to call in the service station.

Clutch Grabbing.

This trouble is the opposite OF
slipping. The clutch takes hold too
suddenly, so that the car is jerked
in starting and needless strain is
involved TO the entire power trans
mitting mechanism. sGrabbing is
caused by too heavy spring pressure,
by facings that have become rough
and dry, by end play in the crank
shaft, by misalignment of the clutch
shaft, by too tight an adjustment.
The driver who jams in his clutch
is quite likely to produce a grabbing
action.
