Hope to Eventually Make Private Radio Talks Possible - At Present Experiments Have Not Progressed Far Enough for Decisive Statement.

New York. March ?S P(--Com- plcte annihilation oi space, so far as human communication by voice Is concerned. is the ultimate aim of en- Eineers now perfecting a commercial .trans.Atlantic telephone service, They see no insupersbie difficulties in the way of ultimately being able 70 talk between any two points on the face of the earth,
 When this is possible, radiophone conversations will leap in the seven seas and system of land wires Vill link the terminals 10 every corner of the earth, Then secretary of the navy in Washington may give verbal orders 10 the commander of a fleet in Manila Bay, a banker in New York may discuss a loan with his correspondent in Picking, or dying man In Cape Town may breath his last words into the telephone mouth piece and be heard by his family in Montreal.
 Officials of the American Tele. phone and Telegraph company, while privately indulging in their own ideas of what is possible in the direc- ton of one worldwide telephone system decline to comment publicly, When they do speak publicly, 1t is 10 tell how great are the difficulties 10 be overcome.
 The chief difficulty still faced 1: interference, said one official today who is particularly interested in the 1 develcpmentof transatlantic serv' ice. Interference includes static and the breaking-in Of European broad casting stations. Static is bother some chiefly in the summer, al though steady progress is. being made in eliminating it.
 The present impossihility of con versing by radiophone in secrecy alsc is a drawback that IS receiving clost attention. Very long distance tele phony also is complicated by th' fact that at opposite points on tn earth business hours do not coincide Differences in language, too, are commercial handicap.
 Limitation of the number Of con vnrsations possible, is one of tn greatest difficulties in the way 0 commercial development. A lohj distance telephone cable contain
 1900 pairs of wires over which man. conversations can he carried on a the same time, Radio facilities hay rot passed the stage where nor than onn conversation can take place au' omatically limiting the revcnu and increasing the cost per converse ton.

commissioner superintendent over

him to 90 over all of the roads and
consult with the various road over

Paw this commissioner a salary, so ne

Most of the changes in the man
ner Of social life in Hawaii have
come in the last 25 years, and much
of it can be traced to the time
when Hawaii was found to be the
ideal spot for pineapple planta-

world began to be established
there.
With the pineapple plantations
came the opportunity for natives
to find abundant work in the fields
--out-of- door work in the land they
loved best. Higher wages than
they had ever before received en-
abled them to think of things out

Y 2 ISITORS to Hawaii are some
" times surprised to find in
stead of grass huts, ovens
built in the ground, beautiful
American homes, cosmopolitan
cuisines and pineapple plantations
which are among the most modern
of any plantations in the world.
They are apt to forget that al
though the islands of Hawaii have
been civilized only comparatively
short time as civilization goes, dur-
ing that time they have been civ
ilized at high pressure. Owing to
the magic Of Hawaiian climate and
natural beauty, they have quickly
become one of the most cosmopol-
itan spots of the world.
1t is this curious mixture of the
old and the new which makes Ha-
waii SO interesting.
Yesterday the little girl who sat
before her grass hut knew only
the art OF mat-weaving or lauhaIa
hat making. In the long Hawaiian
evenings she sat inside her hut list
ening 20 the legends of the Fire
gods told by the old folks as they
sat mending their nets for the next
days catch. She could swim and
dive, shiny a cocoanut tree and
drcp down The big nuts whose milk
was 80 cooling even under tropical
surs. saa she could go "torch fish
ins" With the men who waded deep
cut at sea with torch and spear to
catch the squib and eel
Today she sits on the lanai, or
veranaa, and reads, or chats in
very good English with friends,
over Kona coffee, Hawaiian pastry,
pineapple jam or poha jelly. She
still loves adventure. Often in the
evenings she goes down to the big

Jazz music, even though it is so
