Veek-Ending on Pacific Island Mountain It
By Florence Margaret Lee


T% HE sun was going down, the
q ocean was a calm, peaceful,
liz Mediterranean blue. Not
sound was to be heard, except the
skylarks, occasionally interrupted
by the saucy mynah birds. Peace
reigned supreme externally-but
internally the camp was all agita-
ton.
The mountains had lured us on
and up. Kau-kau (Hawaiian for
food) was to be hauled up by
Sweet Violet, as the old CHM
panzee of Jap was locally known.
So we started on our seven-mile
tramp up Tantalus. When ripe
guavas hang over the trail, why
should any one carry more than a
few sandwiches to eat en- route? No
one did. Hence the tumult. Sweet
Violet did not appear, and plainly
we were out of luck. Nothing to
do but forage, so we hit the trail
again, and came upon camp tele-

to Honolulu; the answer promised i'll
for speedy relief, but a few bor-
rowed supplies, with the benefit of
kerosene, tea and rice, furnished
dinner and breakfast. Wandering
through groves Of eucalyptus and
koa (the Hawaiian mahogany trees,

leaves the tropical toboggan, and a
favorite sport of the ancient
Hawaiians-we trustfully waited for
Sweet Violet and food.
Lunch time and still no kau-kau.
Again we foraged. This time, miles
down the mountain side, we found
a vegetable garden. The old Portu-
guese was willingto sell what he had
already dug or what he could pick
with his hands, "spuds," sweet pota-
toes, lettuce and papaias "a melon
that is a cross between cantaloupe
and a squash). But to use the hoe on

but IL makes less noise about it, and
It costs one-third as much as the
larger model. The values would
seem to be nicely adjusted, and the
tan specialized most skillfully for
the special uses mentioned.
The Polar Cub
High breeze and low price are the
Cubs leading assets. Also it has
universal motor--will work anywhere
while the other two require an al
ternating current. You may think
that this little 6-inch model is "a
Ford of FAM" but like the Ford, too,
goes further for less money than it's
rivals. You get big SIS worth. 1t
is made of pressed sheet metal where
high grade materials like drawn
steel are used in the other fans. 1t
will tilt 10 degrees forward or 90
degrees backward, and this is it's
only variation. But when it comes
to blowing, which is, after all, the
main issue with fan, it raised a
breeze 25 per cent stronger than the
S-inch fan. So if you want merely a
low-priced wind, the Cub is your
bargain.
A Comparison That Is Not
Odious
Fans are not only useful for cool
ing people, they are admirable dish
dryers and clothes dryers, and when
the air is heavy with moisture or
something has been hastily washed
out and needs to be packed, just turn
your fan on it and see what hap
pens.
The ability of the three fans was
tried out in two ways. First a given
weight of dry toweling was wet,
wrung out, weighed, and then dried
without the fan, and by two runs of
each fan (Which showed close COM
parative results in each case).
Without the fans only 12 ounces of
water had evaporated in two hours;
the largest Westinghouse had re-
moved an average of pounds and
II ounces in one hour, beating the
record without a fan about seven

times. The Wiirlwind removed 1
pound OF water in an hour, beating
the no-tan record by two and two
thlrds times, and the little Cub did
the work three times as fast as it
could be done without it, beating it's
s-inch competitor trifc.
10 try this point out further and
determine roughly the relative vol
uine OF air each fan was delivering,
a scheme was tried that is used by
the French agtillerymen in determin-
ing air velocity A light sheet of
metal 2 feet by 16 inches was sus
pended from a rod and each fan in
turn pointed straight at the center
OF the sheet from an equal distance.
The distance that the lower edge is
detected will measure roughly the
amount o. air striking it.
In this test the 16-inch fan moved
the edge II inches, the 8-inch fan
moved it 2Ss inches and the Cub
moved it 3A inches. Why? Because
the Cub. though less than half the
weight of it's opponent (2A pounds,
compared with 5%), moved over
twice as fast, and so the lightweight
champion won, both in this and in
the clothes drying competition.
This was further proved by plac-
ing the Whirlwind on one side of the
sheet and the Cub on the other, and
IN this pushing match the Cub
backed the panel to the Whirlwind's
side about five-eighths of an inch.
But did it make large noise
about doing it? 1t did. And why
not? Wasn't it doing little more
work at less than half the price? It
was, and it tells the world that it
is on the job, doing it not hand
somely, perhaps, but efficiently.
Costs of Operation
When it comes to costs of opera

and has many side advantages and
adjustments. The Whirlwind cost.

noise of the three and has fewer
side tricks. The Cub cost practically
the same (0.32 cents an hour)
made the most noise, but costs much
the least to start with and is very
breezy for it's size.
These are the data that help YOU
to buy the fan that suits your needs
and purse best. Each fan fully sus-
tains its own right to live and serve
a warm and town-bound public.

Design and Materials
The bucket of this freezer is only
7A inches in diameter and inches
high, being made of galvanized sheet
metal scanned around the bottom
and up the side. There is a halt
inch hole about 6 inches from sAsS-
bottom for drainage and a shanow

thick, is hinged to one side Of the
edge of the bucket, and on the other
edge spring catch stamped in a

on the buckets side and holds it in
place. The crank is mounted on this
yoke two inches in from one side.

This gives ample room for three

stove a fourth pan could be kept
warm.

Fuel Costs and Convenience
A regular camp breakfast for
six persons, of coffee, bacon and
eggs and Pancakes, could be cooked
using the equivalent of one
burner for one hour and three
quarters. The coffee in this amount
twelve cups-would take about
twenty-five minutes to make, the
bacon and eggs about twenty
minutes, followed by half an hour,
using two burners, for the cakes.
In other words, breakfast could
be served in half an hour, but it
would take about one pound and two
ounces of solid alcohol cubes Gao
cents worthy to do the cooking.
Economy of time and convenience
Of transportation must be con-
sidered in connection with this
cost-the fact that the fuel is al
ways at hand and will burn in wet
as we'll as dry weather and that
the heat is quick and intense.
For instance, a quart of water

cube). This is efficient, as an
average gas burner with ten
cubic feet a minute flow of gas)
will require SIS minutes to boil
quart of water. The fuel burns
rapidly and the stove requires a
stoker, one cube burning for from
8 to 10 minutes. The solid cubes
are the most convenient and eff
ficient; the solid alcohol, added by
the spoonful, the next, and liquid
denatured alcohol with a paper
wick can be used in emergencies,
four ounces of the liquid boiling
quart of water in six minutes and
one additional ounce keeping it
boiling eight minutes longer. The
liquid alcohol is less easy to carry,
but is very easy to use.
While the stove is essentially a
wanderer and loves motoring and
canoeing, it is a good fireside COM
panion, for shack or "lean to-"
cookery, as well, and does quick
work for a few people.

Special Advantages
Another advantage of this type of
light metal freezer (weighing, as it
does. less than three pounds) is that
it can be used right in the kitchen
sink, and with a heavy canvas bag in
which to crack the ice there will be
no more "muss" in the kitchen after
making frozen dessert than would
follow in the wake of any other. The
flat dasher is easy to remove, or it
may be left in place during the time
the cream is packed. For you can
begin to freeze your cream Is
minutes before dinner, or you can
make it early, draw off some of the
water, repack and serve it later.
Chocolate ice cream, made by a
standard recipe, using evaporated
milk, was also made in the Jewel

same as the Homaid, except that the
crank is on the side and rotates in a

WHY Do AUTO

neer for the Southern Pacific, in a
personal plea to motorists, states
that he is puzzled TO know why auto
mobile drivers not only risk their
own lives but tho lives Of those rid
ing with them by trying to pass in
front OF swiftly moving trains.
"A fault wholly within the power
OF tho driver Of a machine to rem
edy." said Connolly, "is to drive right
up to within ten or twenty feet OF
the tracks when he secs a train ap-
preaching, even when he intends to
stop. You may have a right to do
this. but II does not give the mon on
the engine a chance: they have no
way Of knowing whether you intend
crossing the track or stopping until
you get right on the track. Step back
or slow up 200 feet from the cross
ing. This will give us a chance and
avoid many accidents. Also, when
you hear a train approaching. do not
take for granted that It is n freight
train; II may be fast passenger

creeping onto you before you know
It. The best way is to stop. look and
listen at railroad crossings-not Just
