Honolulu, T H. Aug 2t OP) E C, Pemberton. chief parasite hunter Of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association. IS again bound -on an expedition to the Orient to obtaln parasites to prey on sugar pests.
 He hopes to find natural enemies for the mealy- grasshoppers and the borer
 At the same time he hopes to ind more natural enemies for the mosquito.
 On his last venture into the tropis Pember,on collected a species Of cannibal mosquito in New Guinea which IS being estab- hshed here.
 There are number Of localities IT Malava where mosquitoes. while present are not considered pests, which has given entomologists the lGoa that there must be natural enemies which keep the mosquito 1T check.
 The sugar cane grown in that part of the world is also reported 10 be fairly free from the borer attack. which leads to the hope thst there may be new borer para sites m Malaya which might be transplanted in Hawaii.
 Pem berton also will keep an eye out for ternllte parasites

 Shortly after S:30 a. m. the city has answered the alarm clock and begins teeming with activity. Char women still are on their knees ir the various office buildings and shops.
