has resulted in a market decrease in
crime Governor Mccarthy said. but
there Is a large quantity of Illicit
liquor manufactured, and the Federal
authorities are endeavoring to stamp
out this traffic" Utilization of stills
made OF galvanized iron has poisoned
the liquor in some cases, the report
stated. Jail sentences instead OF
money fines were suggested as a
check on the traffic.
Seyenty-nin corporations, inclu-
ding mercantile, agriculture, banking
ard savings and loan concerns were
incorporated during the year. Twenty
six banks are in operation in the
islands. Their total deposits are
S35, 949,134.
Additional apprc priations TO inn
prove the harbors are needed, the re-
port said, so as to provide adequate
facilities for the increasing number
of trans Pacific liners stopping at
the islands. Concrete piers, varying
from 600 To 800 feet long are under
construction by the United States
Engineer service and the necessary
shops for making repairs to vessels

Orders

London, November 22-LBy The

automobile in England these days Is
largely a matter of futures, paying
for options on machines not yet built.
At the automobile show here this
year at which there were more people
and fewer cars then ever before, s.,
900 was paid for the option on Sl5,
600 chassis that could not possibly be
delivered before next spring. The
same amount was collected by man
for his place among the first fifty to
whom the manufacturers of an e2-
pensive car are to deliver machines
certainly not before January /.
So many have been dealing in
future contracts with the intention Of
selling their priority rights that one
large firm has made its contracts nom
negotiable.
American Orders Taken.
After the second day Of the show
the agents for an American manu-
facturer of light, cheap, popular car
were reputed to have accepted orders
for $4,000 with no delivery promises.
Although pressed To accept mere
orders they refused on any condition
whatever.
Conveniences On the American
machines attracted much attention at
the show. Some of the Improvements
that Americans take as a matter OF
course are rarely seen on British cars.
