Hawaii Is making food-saving con.

taro plant. Until 20 years ago pol was
made under primitive conditions, tho
bulbs being peeled, boiled and pound
ed In wooden trencher until Il 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 ut Hilo now
turn out several tons daily.
This new form Of pol Is being sent
to the United States. reaching mar
kets as far away as New York city.
and demand which began with Ha-
wailans who had come to the United
States Is generally being extended to
Americans who have learned to like
the dish.
Pol 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.

empty and its great doors are closed.
Only blank wall looms there.
On deck the movement, instead OF
being toward the Transports rails. Is
away from them. Orders have been CIV
en- for the troops to go to their quar-
ters, so that when the ship Is leaving
harbor no uniform may be visible to
any prying eyes on shore.
Slowly the big vessel Is coaxed py
the tug into the stream. and maJesti-
cally she gets under way. A few ci-
william passengers. to the envy OF ON
GERS and men, hang over the rails and
watch the city's skyline fade away.
Soon the port Is only a blur In q
veil of mist. II Is safe now for the
troops to appear. They rush out on
deck, boyishly eager for the sight
strange to many-of the open sea. A
glance is cast toward the vague line
on the horizon that Is home. Then
they turn and peer forward into the
mystery of the unknown. toward the
scene Of the great adventure-over
there.

Infinite Care and Secrecy Attend
Transport of Troops to
France.
MOST TRIPS ARE UNEvENTFUL
Elements Of Danger Are Anticipated
and Reduced to Minimum-No Uni
form on Deck Seen When Ship
Leaves Harbor.

London-No greater care and Sc
crecy could attend the shipment OF
royal Jewels than is observed in ship
ping American troops to France. To
safeguard his boys Uncle Sam takes
every possible precaution. from the
time they embark until the transport
has reached Its destination. He leaves
no loophole.. for the Vaccinations OF
enemy agents.
Usually, as a result of this elaborate
protective system, the trip from AN
Atlantic port" to the French or Eng
lish port, as the case may be, Is re-
markably uneventful. All elements OF
danger have been so carefully antici-
pated that the risk is reduced to the
lowest minimum.
Until the troops and civilian pas
sengers have reached the pier they do
not know the name Of their ship. II Is
only a number to them. On the regu-
lar troopships It is difficult for a ci-
william, unless he is engaged In war
work, to secure a passage. Those who
manage to do so are subjected to close
scrutiny, and their credentials and lug
gage are thoroughly examined.
Embarkation Begins Early.
Embarkation often begins several
days before the transport sails. All
good-bys have been said before the
troops start for the ship. No relative
or friend may accompany them to the
pier. This rule applies to the officers
as well as to the men.
Once aboard, there they remain, no
shore communication being permitted.
This regulation imposes no hardship
other than inactivity. Until all troops
have been assigned to quarters and or
yanization has been effected, the men
are left pretty much to their own de-
sices.
No restriction Is placed on writing,
and bags are kept open for soldiers
mail up to almost the hour of sailing
This privilege gives many chance to
get off neglected letters and postcards,
although these. as matter Of precau-
ton, are not put into the mails until
the ship has passed through the sub
marine zone.
The troops also take advantage of
an arrangement devised by the gov
eminent for the sending of "safe-arri-
val" messages. kilograms or post
cards advising family and friends that
the writer had made the trip In safety
may be prepared In advance and left

SEA RISK FOR ARMY SMALL

in charge of the authorities at the port
of sailing. AS soon as word Is re-
ceiyed by cable of the ships arrival
on the other side, the kilograms and
cards are released to the wires and
mails Not only Is much time saved
by this plan. but the soldiers are
spared the high cost of cabling from
Europe.
With the exception of the ships ex-
ecutives and the officers in military
command no one aboard knows the
hour fixed for sailing, and this be-
comes favorite topic for speculation
among the men. But finally the last
soldier has come up the gang plank
and the last piece Of freight has been
slowed away. A busy little tug APP
pears alongside and begins to nose the
vessel like terrier investigating a
greyhound.

Suddenly there is blast from the
