POI HAWAIIAN NATIONAL DISH
10 Being introduced Into the United
States and Is Said to Be Meet
ING With Favor.

Hawaii Is making a food-saving con-
tribution In the shape of poi. its ma
tional dish made from the bulb of the
faro plant. Until 20 years ago poi was
made under primitive conditions, the
bulbs being peeled, boiled and pound
ed in a wooden trencher until a semi
liquid paste was formed. But today
modern sanitary machinery is used to
manufacture the product, under SUI
pervision of health authorities in the
island, and five factories at Hilo now
turn out several tons daily.
This new form Of poi is being sent
to the United States. reaching mar
kets as far away as New York city,
and a demand which began with Ha-
waiians who had come to the United
States Is generally being extended to
Americans who have learned to like
the dish.
Poi is frequently used in Hawaiian
hospitals In the diet Of patients whose
stomachs are too weak to digest other
food. and the war interest in substi-
tute foods Is expected to lead to its
wider Introduction elsewhere.

GIvEN HONOR NOT DESERVED
Error of Learned Men Responsible for
America Being Named After
Ameriqo Vespucci.

The story Of how the new world re-
ceived the name Of America is strik-
ing example of what publicity will ac-
compliSh. AmerigO Vespucci, highly
educated FlOrentine, was head of a
business house in Seville. Spain, prob
ably as agent for the great trading
firm of the Medicis, and helped to fit
out one of the expeditions with which
Columbus sailed. When the latter's
monopoly was revoked, Nespucci IN
dertOok several voyages of exploration
on his own account. during which he
claimed in many letters to have been
the first to reach the mainland OF the
new continent, giving the date as June,
16, 1897.
On April %, 1907, the learned heads
of the University of st. Die, in Lor-
raine, decided, incorrectly. that he was
entitled to the honor of discovery, Co
lumbus having only reached the
islands of the West Indies, and that
the western hemisphere should bear
his name. The name America was,
therefore, first used in the book "CoS-
mographlae Introductio," by Martin
Waldseemuller, professor Of cOsmOg-
raphy at the university.
1t has since been shown that YES
pucci was preceded by both Columbus
and John Cabot, but it was too late.
the new world had been christened
America and the fact advertised In
print The house where the meeting
was made was still standing at st. Die
at the outbreak of the war, and was
annually visited by many tourists from
both North and South America.
