THANK YOU, ~GOVERNOR.

Mauis County Fair is held up by Governor Mccarthy as a shinin
example of how things should be done in his message to the speslal SEES
sion of the legislature while some unfavorable criticism of the Terri
tonal Fair is evident in comparison. He even goes so far as to say tina
i: the Territory cannot hold fairs the Maui way they had better be don
away with.
Here's the tribute to Mauis fair as written by the Governor:
"In carrying on the Territorial Fairs up to the present
time large sums of money have had to be expended for
temporary work and great losses have been experienced in
trying to salvage the buildings and other property. From
the fair commission could carry on the work.
The Maui Fair Association has worked in an en-
tirely different manner; it has permanent grounds and per
manent buildings that, once the buildings are installed and
erected, are there to stay. The result is that the Maui
Fair can be conducted on business principles.
"The Territorial Fair should be handled in a similar
manner and have had a proposition suggested to me by
the promoters of the Amusement Park that the Territory
have buildings erected in the Amusement Park and, during
the period of the fair, the fair commission lease the park
with all the facilities belonging to the company. This ap-
peals to me but would suggest that the legislature look
thoroughly into the matter s. that at the regular session
some definite action can be taken either to carry on the
Territorial Fair on a permanent basis or do away with it
entirely"

LICENSING CHAUFFEURS.

Weaknesses in the ordinance for the licensing of chaufeurs on the
Big Island were pointed out in al editorial in the Hlo Tribune last
week. The same criticisms will apply to the Maui ordinance.
Under the present ordinance, here as on Hawaii, a purchaser Of
an automobile is granted a license to operate a certain make of machine
but that does not prevent his or her operating another machine without
having to prove ability to handle it. Per example: A Ford or some
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-11-12

other car that is simple and easy to learn is purchased. The owner
learns to operate it and passes an examination by the chauffeur license
officer. Later a more expensive machine is purchased, larger, heavier,
more complicated and more intricate i'll management. 1t is true that
license reads that the holder OF ii can operate a Ford but he proceeds
out upon the Island roads and town streets and other car operators
and pedestrians are forthwith subjected to the danger OF being come
upon by a driver who is not competent to manage his machine, though
he might run another machine well enough.
Maui News agrees with the Tribune that this is not right. A clause
should be inserted in the ordinance governing the issuance OF chaut-
feurs' licenses enabling the Inspector to specify in the license exactly
what make, or makes, of car the holder is entitled to drive. Only in
the cast OF highly skilled and experienced drivers should a blanket Ii
cense be issued permitting the holder to operate any type without re-
strcion. It is not necessary or advisable to make more than a nominal
extra charge.
There should be included also a clause penalizng any automobile
driver found operating a machine which he is not licensed to operate.

Maui wants a fair every year. If ten percent of the attendants at
the last fair went to the Territorial fair it would mean that $4,000 per-
sons on Maui would not see a fair except at home and there is not
adequate transportation to take 1000 persons to and from Honolulu.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-11-12

Hho papers tell of consideration by the Hawaii board of super
vsors OF a resolution asking for territorial and federal aid in building
roads to and through the "Kilauea National Park" Where do you get
that "Kilauea National Park" stuff? Once more it must be mentioned
that there is a Hawaii National Park, not all on the Big Island and the
"Kilauea Park" is a home made label.

One of these days Maui will awaken to its need of a public library
with shelves as well filled, at least, as those in the library at Hno. In
that respect the Island is sadly deficient. Here's work for the Maui
Womans Club to urge.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-11-12

Court records, some of which may be of interest and value, are
reported to be stored in the attic of the jail and other records to have
been thrown promscuousy in boxes and to be in a bad state of preser-
walton. Blame for the condition is not placed upon the present judge
or court officers but upon those of the past but the condition is one which
the county should seek to remedy. Valuable rights are dependent upon
preservation of old records and undoubtedly the court will welcome
county cooperation in an effort to have them properly cared for. Whe-
Their such work is the duty of the county or court officers is of no con-
sequence so far as the public is concerned.

Senator Jack Coney will be missed in the legislature. The gentle
man from Kauai had a record for efficiency and sound judgment but
failed to save him and the Garden Island has the only democrat in
the upper house to represent or misrepresent it.

STEAM
USED in ITALY
Heating Plant in Tuscany Furnishes
Power for City of Florence.
(Ry Associated Press.)

Washington. Aug. 4.-Industrial Italy,
forced by the enormous prices for i'm
ported coal, is turning attention toward
the utilization of the latent power of
the country's volcanic area, according
to advice sreceiyed by the Italian en-
bassy.
This idea of exploiting the natural
heat emitted from the soil in the vol
canic regions seemed a dream at rst
thought. but already it has been de-
veloped to considerable Importance
Successful experiments have been con-
Quoted in the past and today at Lar
derello in Tuscany heating plant OF
10000 horsepower is operating with
out interruption and distributing cleo
trio current to Florence, Livorno and
Grosseto. It's capacity. it is planned
will be increased.
First experiments with volcanic
power were made some years before
the war by Prince Ginori-Conti at
Larderello. near the salt mines of Vol
terra, region extensively covered
with volcanic vents emitting powerful.
jets of hot steam containing boric
salts and various gases used in the ex-
traction of boracic sacid.
Instead of limiting the use of these
steam jets to extracting the salts con-
tanned in the exalations of these ma
tural vapor-vents. the election of the
steam is simulated by boring holes. In
this way it has been possible. to OBJ
tain jets at pressure Of 80 to Is pounds
per square inch and in some instances
as high as Is pounds square inch,
the temperature varying from $50 to
i65 degrees centigrade.
In 1905, Prince Ginori-Conti applied
this natural steam to a 40-horsepower
engine, using only small section of
the Nenella fissure, the elected steam
from which has a pressure of rs
pounds per square inch Seven years
later another experiment was success
ful with a 300-horsepower turbine al
ternator. and later the Larderello heat
ing plant was started with three tur-
bine- alternaters of 5000 kilowatts
each. these being fed by boilers at low
pressure heated by the natural steam.
superheated to 165 degrees centigrade.
The natural steam has been used
thus far only for heating because it
contains substances, among them sui
phurie acid. which corrode metals.

Paris. Aug. I'm order to prevent
any commercial encroachment upon

lean soldiers are buried. the French
government has been asked by the
American Army Grave Registration
Service authorities to purchase the
gentle slope facing the front Of the
cemetery, and the entire crest OF the
hill occupied in part by the cemetery,
a well as plots at both sides.
The Romagne Suresnes, and Bel

permanent resting places of more than
30 900 soldier dead who will continue
to sleep In French soil. Suresnes,
which is on the slope Of Mont Valerien,
one OF the forts built to defend Paris,
is already protected against encroach-
ment of any sort, and the same is
nearly true of Belleau Woods.
The extra ground to be purchased
at Romagne will not only safeguard
the cemetery against any encroach-
