The fact that Honolulu should not
be dependent upon importations of
Portland cement for its road work has
been made plain by City Engineer A.
\. Cantin in a statement issued yester
lay which shows that suitable gravel
for cement making is available with
in a mile and q half of Honolulu.
This gravel pit, according to the
analysis of the material made by the
city engineers department, contains an
ample supply of q mixture that is Prac
tirally the same as the gravel which
has made the Portland cement famous
"All the ingredients which go to
make up the Portland cement are to

CH|LD.EXPLA|NS HIS
#. MEATTlES DAY STAND
Says There Is Glut on Mainland
Which Does Not Exist Here e.

"Many people have suggested to me
that we put in operation a bread "a
ton, or stop the sale of flour alto
gether, and otherS have suggested that
we get busy ana use more rice, raise
more sweet potatoes as substitutes, "
said J. +. Child, food commissioner
yesterday. 1--WE have acted on none of
'hese suggestions.
"Some Of the grocers are rather in.
elined to the mo flour idea, as it
would eliminate much of the trouble
about flour selling, and naturally, it
would be n conservation of the supply
which would materially aid the troops
over seas.
"There are numerous incidents to
show how people are stin attempting to
evade their responsibilities in buying
substitutes as for Instance japanese
who went to the Honakaa store and
'sted for certain number of bags of
flour as we'll as n certain number of
bags of rice. All he wanted was the
rice, not the substitute, for he gave
the scheme away. The flour was in
tended for a woman residing in the dis
trict, who was not procuring any sub
stitute whatever.
"The price of rice will not 90 up.
The dealers are permitted to sell only
1T certain profit. l keep a check
upon all rice receipts of the dealers
They send me their imports, the mum
Der Of bags and price paid, and this is
over the firm signature, authenticated
by an attOrney-in.fact am sure
there will always be plenty of rice.
Hawaii is the only part of the Uni
ted States that will not accord with
Food Commissioner HoOver's suspen-
sion Of the meatless days for a month
Upon the mainland there was a glut
in the amount of meat, due to the tie
up in transportation through weat her
conditions. Therefore, this meat would
go to waste and the .meatless days
were suspended.
Gin Hawaii we have not an Overplus
of meat. BY continuing our 'meatless
days we are conserving. If we ate
all the meat offered now, we might,
later on have to purchase from the
mainland, and it would be at main
land prices, and the prices here would
go up materially.
"The Island meat growers are TAX
ing every means TO increase the sup
DIV, but will not be able to keep it up
unless we continue to observe the
= meatless days as usual"
