HAWAII'S PLANTERS
 VIEW PORTO RICO
 FOR FUTURE LABOR

HONOLULU, July 28.-Looking ahead to possible exclusion of Filipinos from United States ter ritory, sugar planters of Hawaii are considering Porto Rico as a possible source of labor supply.
 The idea gained strength when a sentiment developed in the last con- gress to bar Filipinos. As Hawaii is part of the United States, the law would apply here unless a spe- cific exception were made.
 Walter Dillon, one of Honolulu $ business leaders, recently visited Porto Rico and suggested that a transfer of part of the Atlantic islands surplus labor to these isles in the Pacific would be to the ad- vantage of both American outposts
 Hawaii has always imported much of it's labor for sugar plantations. The first to come were the Chi neSe, but most of them saved their wages and went into business.
 Then the planters brought in the Portuguese, but when these men in turn became financially indepen- dent they were followed by Japan csc until the latter were excluded from the United States.

SCIENCE WORKS TO STOP WASTE
New Development Is Under Way to Make Use of
 Agri. By-products

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.- Heating and Illuminating gas from cornstalks and straw is just one of the many uses for agriculture by products and wastes being devel- oped by the agriculture department.
 Billiard balls, fountain pen cases and waterproof glue from casein, a skim milk product; a valuable starch from sweet potatoes; a wax like acid from apple cider. and the now popular tomato juice are others.
 Important Development
 Dr. A. F. Woods, director of scientific work, says research in utilizing wastes and by-products has developed important new in- dustries, saved millions of dollars to producers and removed tons of what was formerly worthless left overs.
 Cornstalks, cottonseed hulls, pea nut ,hulls and similar material have yielded many valuable new com modities.
 Furfural, used in synthetic resins and paint and varnish removers as well as insulating materials, is one that comes from oat hulls. Lignin, composing 20 to 30 per cent of the dry sustance in hulls, straw and leaves, has been used in producing varnishs, dyestuffs and other chemicals.
 Thousands Saved
 Phthalic anhydride, formerly im- ported from Germany at high cost, is now made from crop wastes saving thousands of dollars to the dyej industry.
 Culled citrus fruit, too low grade to market through regular trade channels, goes into the making of citric acid, lemon oil, jams and jellies and fruit juices. It once cost considerable money to dispose of these wastes.
 Dr, Wood says the question of utilizing waste materials is usually one of costs. The raw material has a low value, but the expense of processing is sometimes prohibi- lively high.

 Altogether, the Cubs haven't been quite the happy family they might be, despite Hornsby's reputation for dealing out justice impartially.
 No doubt the stories of dissen- sion have been exaggerated. They usually are, just as the golfing tales expand and become embell- ished in the locker room. Never theless, it seems a lack of harmony as well as poor pitching, has cost the Cubs a number of percentage points.

Just why there should be any special sympathy for Connie Mack s plight in being obliged to worry along with only three great pitch CTS is not exactly clear. It is true that about every fourth or, fifth game Mir Mack has been obliged to insert someone named Mahaf- fey, or Shores or Rommel or Me Donald, usually with the result that the As take pasting.
 At times, one of the big three, Grove, Ear shaw and Walberg, wobbles sufficiently to lose a ball game, which is even more distress ing to the venerable leader and perhaps just cause for public feel ing of alarm.
 Up to around the end of June, however, the figures that the Sun- : day papers publish at the behest of the figure-compilers showed that Messrs. Grove, Walberg and Earn shaw ha dwon 37 of the first 45 victories scored by the worlds champions, while losing only of the IS games in which the As were set back up to the time of this profound study.
 The point of this, therefore, is that if the As lose their crown to Walter Johnsons hustling Senators, | it will not be due to the distressing scarcity of first-class pitchers in the ranks of the champions. It will be due to the greater scarcity of first-class infielders, plus a slump super induced by the absence of Mike Cochrane.
 The As infield looked worn with nge. outside of the robust MT. Foxx, in training last winter and it has gotten no better in the heat of midsummer.
 Chicago's Big Three
 Ferreting further into the afore- said figures, we took note of the fact that the Chicago Cubs, al though leading the National league by a healthy margin in club field ing and batting. stood no better than third in the pennant race.
 Naturally this led to suspicion that the Cub curvers were not do- ing quite right by Messrs. Wrigiey, Veeck and Hornsby.
 We found that the three men who might be figured to compare in reliability to Grove, Walberg ana Earnshaw of the As, namely Busn, Root and Malone, had contributed exactly F victories against 10 de- feats, to the Cub campaign up 10 and including June 28.
 If these one-time mainstays get back to the form that their em- blowers have reason to expect, the Cubs will have good chance to overhaul the Cardinals.

fund. Wichita Falls led all the rest. More than So
600 was contributed BY the people OF that city TO the
drouth relief fund. Fort Worth and Waco swelled
the grand total to a magnificent figure.
Yes, a friend Of humanity is this ace Of optimism
who surrendered three weeks Of his valuable time 70
the cause OF the hungry and the down and outer. In
addition TO this before he began his tour Of Texas
cities, his wife sent a check for $4,000 to be placed
