HAWAII SEEKING
NEW FISHING
METHODS
Inability To Get Help For
Hazardous Work Calls For
Improved Methods.
BY International News Service.

HONOLULU, March 1.-Because
the number of Japanese who are
willing to engage in the hazardous
work Of deep-sea fishing, the three
largest fishing companies in Ha-
waii-all of them Japanese-are con-
sidering methods which will guaran-
tee a steady supply of fish to the
people of the islands, notwithstand-
ing the rapid growth in population
expected within the next ten or fiji
ten years.
One plan is to build large trawl-
ers to be sent to the rich fishing
waters 1000 miles southwest of the
Hawaiian Islands and kept on the
fishing grounds over long periods
of time. The boats would have
large cold storage apartments, and
the catches would be transferred
by them to speedy boats of the
sampan type and carried to Homo
lulu for distribution. Another plan
would be to build sampans much
larger than the prevailing type, SO
their radius would be extended well
into the areas known to abound in
fish. These sampans would be
also fitted with automatic refriger'
ating machinery. The sampans
now in use have to relay on ice
taken on at Honolulu for keeping
their fish in condition, and II the
ice happens to give out the catch
is an entire loss.

Black War Bonnet Gets
Farm, His Father Otuned

Title to a tract Of land, composed of
100 acres. homesteaded by his father,
Black War Bonnet, in 1873, has been
given to Joseph War Bonnet, a Sioux
Indian Of the Ogalalla band, through,
a decision Of the Department Of the
Interior. Originally, it was unsur-
veyed land, and Black War Bonnet
settled on the 100 acres, making i'm
provements costing over 5000, and also
occupied the tract continuously for
three years, thus emitting him to own
ership. In 1879 he received a certjfi-
cate giving him complete possession of
the piece Of land, upon which he con-
tinued to reside with his family until
dlspossessed in 1882. In the same
year he died, leaving his wife and two
children. The wife and the other
child have since died, leaving Joseph
War Bonnet the only surviving heir.
For many years Joseph War Bon
net has been making efforts to obtain
possession of the 100 acres of land
homesteaded by his father, but be-
cause 1t was withdrawn from the pub
TIC domain by an executive order and
for other reasons his petitions have
been denied by officials Of the general
land office.
Joseph War Bonnet in 1921 made an
appeal from all these adverse decisions
to the secretary of the Interior, and
final action was postponed pending
the examination Of witnesses and the
securing Of accurate description Of the
land. Several hearings have been held

There was an old French peasant
custom which held the wisdom of Solo

In the Candle" interpreted BY the
English as "The Right to Be Heard"
In the old days If a man and his
wife disagreed. the official to whom an
appeal was made put two pins In a
lighted tallow candle, equal spaces
apart. The husband was allowed to
talk until the fame burned down TO
his pin, and then he had to listen
while his wife talked. until the fame
reached her pin.
This law passed into oblivion long
since. but its influence became a part
Of the family life of France. It is a
