PRICE FOR TARO IS
TOO HIGH, CLAIMED

TarO, grown in the valleys adjacent
to Honolulu, offered to poi mauufac
turers at exOrbitant prices, is being
disposed of to Molokai and even to
HilO at considerably less rates, is the
claim made by a Manoa poi manufa
turer, who will go before the food com,
mission today to make statement to
this effect,
The manufacturer claims that dur
ing the recent rebuilding of Manoa dis
trict roads, imperfect surface drainage
system diverted waters from the hills
and roads into the tarO fields operated
hv him, bringing rocks and gravel and
filling six of the tarO patches.
When complaint was made against
the county and the contractor, the
manufacturer was told that an adjust
ment would be made. 1t is true that
arrangements were matte to carry off
flood waters in a different direction and
some work was done around the place
in question, but six patches, filled with
stones, became reproductive and No
adjustment has yet been made for
these. Furthermore, the tarO supply
for Honolulu was cut down just the
amount prev iously produced in those
half dozen fields.
Chinese taro grower in the same
distr.,t has refused to sell his taro to
this manufacturer except at exhorbi
tant prieeS, forcing an acute issue with
the poi factory At the same time it
is claimed that ibis taro producer sells
his product on other islands, accepting
a lower price than he asks Of local Gus

MANY MAXWELLSUSED FUR FIRE FIGHTING

Fire departments using motor truck equipment-as most of them now do demand one quality above all others reliability and the constantly increas- ing demand for Maxwell trucks for this work is distinct recognition of its sturdiness of construction and it's suit ability for a service which requires more of a truck than do other lines of vehicular work.
 Every section of the country is now numbered in the long list of Maxwell users for fire-fighting work and re- ports of performance are most satis- factory both to the company and to the municipalities which are using the trucks. Fire chiefs are most enthusi- astic over the "always-dependabl qualities of the Maxwell.
 Though a prophet may be without honor in his own country, this is not necessarily true of motor trucks and tthe fact is proven because Detroit now uses three Marwells in it's fire de- partment with the chance of many more being so employed. In the west and middle west, many pieces of fire hPptl dtuS dlc CdlIicu ID aIlQ IIOlU llTts on the Maxwell chassis and San An tonic, Texas, has prescribed seven MaXwells for the protection of life and property in that southern city.
 There can be no slip-up in fire fighting work. Lives may depend on the prompt arrival of apparatus as well as prevention of increased property loss.
 Therefore. the strictest inquiries are made into the possibilities and proba- bilities of performance of trucks of fered for fire department work The saving of lives and the protecting of property are among the first functions of any municipality and to be a helno in this splendid work has become one of the latest missions of the Maxwell.
 Chief H. M. Walker of the Pierre, South Dakota, department has summed up the situation concisely in letter in which he states. T am using a Max well truck for fire fighting here and I find it is just right

ing but take it to the service station. He would stand just as much chance of repairing his watch as this instru- ment. However, there are other de- engagements that he can repair For instance the coupling at the bottom of the speedometer head sometimes shakes loose, so that while the shaft still revolves, the dial does not register an~thing. To fix this the end of the shaft should be loosened from the head, pushed firmly in place and frightened again. Again the flexible shaft may bind i nthe housing, but to abrupt bends and then the speedometer will fail to register. When trouble occurs look first at the shaft and see that it has as few bends in it as possible, and those long. and sweeping.
 Another thing to watch is in making q change from one sized tire to another, on the wheel that drives the speed- ometer, this will make the readings inaccurate. Even a change to oyer- size tire will cause inaccuracy. For instance in one make of instrument, the makers announce that if a change
 is made from 94x4 inch tires to %5x413, the sixty eight toothed gear used in AN a seventh tooth gear
 1t sometimes happens that where the driving gears are of fiber, that a noise caused by loOsening of the parts By using a little strong laundry soap, the gears may be swollen again, so that they mesh better. It is q good thing to give the moving parts little oil from time to time but where the gears run exposed, this will not be very ef. tective.
 In some cases after the speedOmetel has been in service for some time, tho dial begins to fluctuate, a condition in- duced by vibration. In some instances this becomes a chronic condition, but again it may simply be due to loose ness in the fastenings and connections which the service station will fix in ( jiffy. If the speedometer suddenly fails to register mileage and speed. the first place to examine is the driving shaft. Disconnect the flexible shaf at the head and with the front wheel being revolved, see if the shaft reVolVe. without jerking. If the shaft run: smoothly the trouble lies in the in strument itself. It happens sometimes that d link in the shaft is broken, st that when the part is disconnected il this way, the broken ends will catcl at intervals While the shaft is dis

DODGE WITH SPECIAL
 WHEELS |S USED FUR
 RAILWAY INSPECTION

From all quarters of the country come reports of new uses to which motor cars are being put in various lines of commerce and industry. All are interesting as revealing fresh fields in which the motor car creates a high CT degree of efficiency by saving time or labor, or both.
 Word of one of the latest develop ments comes from Savannah, Ga, where a railroad superintendent has abandoned ;he regulation division in spection equipment of locomotive and coach in favor of d motor car. w. H. Wright, superintendent of the Sa- vannah division of the Central Rail- road of Georgia, has an automobile fitted with steeI-flanged railroad car wheels, and is free to traverse his division independently of steam power.
 This unique inspection car is a regu- lation Dodge Brothers motor car especially equipped in the railroad shops In addition to the railroad wheels, it has been supplied with the various accessories necessary to a railroad mans work Its test runs have proceed so satisfactory that other divisions may be furnished with simi- lar cars.
 When the motor car is in use, it is given a schedule of running time and a number, just as though it were 8 regular or a special train passing over the line. It not only affords a more enjoyable and comfortable means o1 travel for the superintendent and his party, but it affords a better view o track and road bed. and is under direct control of the superintendent as tC speed. It also eliminates the necessit, of diverting for inspection tours, rail. road equipment which can be put tt other uses.

It is difficult to lind a satisfactory raint for the exhaust pipe and muffler because of the heat of those parts. Here is highly recommended muffler raint: Boiled linseed oil 1-5 pound, Japan varnish 1-5 pound, turpentine 2-5 poind, lamp black 1 F ounces, pow dered ovide of manganese 3-S ounce
 Mix the linseed oil and Japan varnish well together, then add in order, stirring all the time. the lamp black, the graphite and the powdered man. ganese. As the mixture thickens thin it down with turpentine, until the quantity mentioned has been used.

OWNERS SERVICE
 DEPARTMENT

I had some trouble on the road not long ago. It was like this: The motor would run only slowly and then it wouldn't pull at all. I had it lowed into the garage and there tested it for everything and concluded that the spark was at fault. I had a repairmau come in from the service station and he worked around it for a number of hours and found out that the genera tor chain was broken. Now how could this stop the motor from running?- D. J. Hawkins.
 It is easy to see that if the generator feeds the load after a certain speed is reached, the engine would not run at or above that speed if the generator driving chain were broken. The bat tery feeding at low speeds accounts for the fact that engine would idle all right.

l am charging seventy-five cents an hour for work and frankly I don't know whether l am making money on the shop. My men are getting more and I think I would be justified in raising to ninety cents if the custom. CTS would stand for it. How about rates i'll other cities, have they gone up at all?-Repairman.
 You would be justified in raising your rates with the men getting higher wages and everything connected with repairing costing more, but why not find out how much you are making now? Get hold of a good cost system or pay an accountant for few days. work to zoe over your books and tell where you stand. Do not work in the dark Half the shops in the country run along without knowing how much they make. when it it a comparatively simple matter to find out. Write to the editor of the trade paper you use for a cost system and if you cannot get it we will send you one.

CARING FOR HUE CAPS

When putting the car in commission
 for the year and every month during the running season, the hub caps should be thoroughly cleaned out, all the grease and verdigris removed, after which the caps should be repached with fresh grease. It is also well to clean out the hubs and bearings, washing

them thoroughly with gasoline so that dirt and grit will be dislodged. When this has been done the moving parts should be again fabricated, the huh caps put back in place and the car can be driven without fear of improperly fabricated axles.

What is the meaning of a truck tractor; also what is an industrial truck? When Q car is converted into a. truck and the load is given as 5000 pounds is that the maximum load ol the safe load?-Masters.
 A truck tractor is a vehicle which carries load and also pulls one. An industrial truck is a small vehicle used for carryin goods indoors or for short distances outdoors, as for example trunk and baggage carriers as used at railroad stations. Industrials are usu- ally operated by storage batteries.
 That depends on the maker. Often the maximum load is given and again the safe load. Better ask.
 Why hasn't the electric car made any headway? There are so many ad- vantages of it that all can see against it is the speed.-Curious.
 Aside from it's performance being much below that of a gasoline car, the electric has a limited range of operation, since a battery change gives only a definite amount of mile age. As one engineer said, the driver minute he has less current than the minute before. The electric is a high ly efficient vehicle and well suited to a certain work in cities. It fills a definite need in the commercial field and is coming in in greater number there.

BOOSTING SOUTHERN ROUTE

Dave O'Neill, of the Gadson hotel Douglas, is here on a trip through the country to the coast. He reports that newspapers are advertising the south ern routes and claiming that the route through Needles is one of deadly peril to the tourist.
 Newspapers that will advise tour ists to drive through the Colorado des- ert have little regard for honesty or the lives of the people, as that route in the summer time, and even in the oth- CT seasons of the year is almost impas- sable. At no time is the route across country through Needles dangerous. While the heat was severe during the past month no one has been inconveni- enced by it. Travellers are passing through Kingman by the hundreds. No effort on the part of the southern or northern people will divert travel from the National Old Trails route. It IS the one route that can be negotiated all the year, especially west from Kingman, while that to the east can be travelled at any time a machine can be gotten through the state line.
