U. S. ROAD BUILDING URGED.
Labor Department Eager to Get Work
for Jobbers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Although
congress has appropriated s4s,500,00l
to assist the states in road building and
the government has approved 100 pro-
jeets, embracing 1859 miles, fewer than
forty five miles of highway have been
constructed under the federal aid plan.
These figures were amade public last
night by the department of labor as
part of its campaign to stimulate re.
vival of public works construction as
an offset to unemployment.
Although federal aid for state
roads has been available since 1877, on
ly eight states report projects involv-
ing federal aid completed, the de-
partment S statement said.
Admitting road materials and labor
costs are high, the department asserted
the expense of road building to the
states will not be prohibitiye, because
the federal appropriations viii cover

AUDIENCE WELL PLEASED.
Musical Comedy, My Honolulu Girl,
Draws Good Houses.

The musical comedy Ny Honolulu
Girl, which was the attraction at the
Auditorium Saturday afternoon and
evening, attracted and pleased two
good sized audiences. The east was
mixture of American and Hawaiin ar
fists, the latter adding touch of real
ism to the comedy and providing an
appealing novelty. There were four
men and one woman in the Hawain
group, the star among them being
Henry Athena, whose solos on steel
stringed guitar were exceptionally good.
Naomi Garnelli as Ina Mutt. an Eng
lish maid, was the hit of the show. She
was tiny but full of pep. Ned Melroy
made an excellent impression as an
Irish comedian, and the chorus put up
some first class team work, in variety
of costumes. Messrs. Melroy, Dennis
and Stockton won big applause in their
song hit, Accidents. A war song which
was well received was entitled We III Do
Our Share, beautifully rendered by
Miss Garnelli, who also did good char
aeter work in the song, One Horse
Town.

Amethysts for Mourning.

Amethysts will be much worn In
this country during the postwar pc
riod as mourning jewelry. Amethysts
and jet are the most widely. used
mourning stones. The vogue of aine-
thysts in the mourning was fixed after
the Franco-Prussian war. when the
gems became popular In France and
Germany.
An abundance of good amethysts are
found in the mountain region of the
western United States. The best anne
thysts come from Cambay, In India,
from Ceylon, Persia and Siberia. There
are also large amethyst mines In
Uruguay. The war, which curtailed
imports OF all gems TO the United
States, gave American amethysts Wild
err market than they ever had before.

NAPoLE0N's MAxIMs OF WAR
Rules Laid Down by Great Soldier
Were Followed Almost Literally
by General Foch.

Napoleon was prolific war maxim
maker. His maxims number more
than hundred. Many of them are as
true today as when they were made.
observes London Answers.
"In war;" said Napoleon. "there is
never more than one favorable mo-
ment. The great art is to seize it and
use 1t WELL"
Foch seized the Favorable moment"
and in month not only saved the sit
uation. but turned the tables on The
enemy. He concentrated his troops
and acted with energy" as Napoleon
laid down.
Commonsense - the application Of
wisdom to circumstances-iS Foch's
maxim, as It was Napoleon's. Napo-
leon has written: ''Plans may be mod
flied ad infinitum according to circum-
stances, the genius of the general, the
character Of the troops. and the fea-
lures of the country"
Napoleon insisted upon the study OF
past campaigns. ''The science OF
strategy" he said. ais to be acquired
by experience and studying the cam.
paigns Of all great captains"
Foch has been q lifelong student of
military history. In the spring he was
acting up to Napoleon's dictum-"the
measure which is not profoundly
meditated In all its details produces
no result" When Foch was ready he
dared at the right moment" For &c
years past Foch has been ''profoundly
meditating" the details of the strategy

Gas From Wheat straw.

One of the scientists of the Univer-
experimenting for some time with the
manufacture OF gas from wheat straw,
has been able. by gas bag attach
ment of 500 cubic feet capacity. to run
his motorcar with perfectly satisfac-
tory results. II is estimated. says the
Saskatchewan Herald. that a ton OF
straw will generate 1900 to $4,000
cubic feet of gas and that 500 cubic
feet of gas is equal to gallon of
gasoline, so that with this hitherto
waste product on his hands the farmer
will be able to run his car.

There is no comfort for The vets

Last year Michigan went dry. There
was considerable opposition to the
absolute prohibition enforced, and so
this year the legislature submitted to
the people a measure permitting the
manufacture of light wines and beer.
In view. Of the backwash OF sentiment
supposed to exist in Michigan as well
as various other States. many people
were sure that the measure would
carry The voters, however, turned il
down by an overwhelming majority.
This is a referendum of a sort
that carries conviction. It will prob

GREETING FROM HONOLULU.

I'VE are proud of our climate. but
prouder of our Americanism, says
The Honolulu letter. I'VE rejoice in
the bounties of nature. and rejoice still
more in the glories of fellowship
with you in our national family.
Under the flag which is ours in
this distant community we have made
splendid strides in industry. in educa
tion, social welfare, religious and civic
institutions and in that feeling of live
ly affection and staunch support Of
American aims and ideals.
1--WE have been active in war work.
Our luscious fruits are feeding the

oversubscribed our quota OF war funds
Just as we over-volunteered our quota
of the army"
Doubtless had the letter been writ
ten lately enough. there would have
been added mention of an over-sub-
scribed Victory Loan.
This island evidence of the sturdy
growth Of American aims and
ideals" is especially welcome just now,
when their upholding has been the
cause of bitter warfare on the field
and almost equally bitter warfare
around the peace table.
