7 THE MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1913. Red Cross Campaign Stamps To Aid Tuberculosis Fight Will Soon Be on Sale. m Beginning November 10, the Auti-tuberculosis League of Hawai will begin the campaign in the' Territory for the sale of Red Cross Seal Christmas Stamps. Announce ment to this effect was made by James A. Rath, secretary of the league, in Honolulu last week. So well i3 the campaign organized already, that it is believed at least a half million stamps will be sold throughout the Territory before Christmas Day. These stamps sell at one cent each, and are being sold each year throughout the United States. The money thus raised is being used to combat tuberculosis, save human lives and wipe out the great white plague, a dread malady that has cost millions of lives. Hawaii is resping the benefit of this great work by the Red Cross Society. The great strides which have been made in combatting tuberculosis in the past few years are due in great part to the Red CrosJSociety. It is, a great cause, and the expen diture of one cent for one of these Red Cross stamps to be used as a seal to the Christmas letter you send off, will be just that much of a contribution toward health, hap piness and perhaps life to some unfortunate, who now feels the hand of Death upon his brow. The stamps will be on sale on every island in the Territory. There is little doubt but the people of Hawaii will see they are purchased and used. A new design is being used for the stamp this year. It is not much larger than a postage stamp and is printed in green and red ink with a white back ground showing Santa Claus in the center driving a dozen reindeer attached to a gift laden sleigh across a field of snow. The border is of holly leaves. Across the top is the inscription "Ameri can Red Cross Society," while across the bottom the greeting, "Merry Christmas, 1913." The Game of Cherry. If yoo Intend bavins a few of your ' friends at your bouse on tbe afternoon of Washlngtoh's birthday Bend out your Invitations on cardboard cut In tbe shape of a little hatchet In one corner, paint a little cherry tree and then write your Invitation. Borne fun can be bad If, after your guests ar rive, you play the game of "cherry." Buy a candy basket and fill It with candy cherries. Suspend the basket from the celling by a long string and let your guests, with bands tied be hind them, try to catch tbe swinging basket with their mouths. The suc cessful one gets the basket of cherries as a prize. Another form of this game Is to hang the Individual cher ries from strings and allow the chil dren to try to catch them In their mouths. EtUI another "cherry" game Is to place a box on a chair at eacb end of tbe room and give eacb child a half dozen candy cherries, which be, at a distance, tries to throw In the basket Washington and tha Poacher. Washington was a fine shot and the waters of the Chesapeake abounded In canrasback and other ducks. Wash ington would not allow other people to bring down his birds. He learned that one poacher was filling his game bags at bis expense. Washington determin ed to end his fun. Hearing a shot one day, be mounted his horse and rode In tbe direction of the sound. Tbe poach er discovered bis approach and. enter ing bis canoe, pushed a few yards out Into tbe river before the master of Mount Vernon came In view. When Washington, with anger In his eye, came In sight the poacher raised bis gun, cocked It and took deliberate aim. Washington did not show the slightest fear, lie walked into the water, seiz ed the canoe and pulled it ashore. Taking the gun from tbe poacher, he gave him so severe a chastisement that he never again repeated his at tempt upon Washington's, birds. "f Huto Botes, I 4 The Packard Motor Car Com pany is celebrating the completion of the first decade of its marvelous business growth in Detroit. Just ten years ago all of the company machinery, materials and cars in the process of construction were en route to Detroit from Warren, Ohio, the site of the first factory. Since that time the great bulk of the motor car production of the country has been established in the City of the Straits. In 1901, Henry B. Joy, of De troit, became acquainted with James Ward Packard, originator of the business and purchased one of .the first Packards then being built in the shops of the Packard Electrical Company. Mr. Joy was so im pressed with the car's performance and the possibilities of automobile manufacture that he invested a sum of money in the Warren enterprise and later was instrumental in the removal of the factory to Detroit. The Packard factory started in Detroit with two acres of floor space and a working force of 247 men. The site was a cow pasture and far sighted executives laid out the factory in the form which it has since attained through ten years of development. When Mr. Joy took charge he had a distinct under standing with the directors that the first aim should be to produce the best vehicles possible of manu facture, profit being a secondary consideration. The company has never departed from this basic principal. Today there are thirty buildings in the plant, which has a total area of thirty-eight acres of floor space. At full capacity it employs 7,000 people, representing eighty trades. The Packard Motor Car Com pany is capitalized at $10,000,000 and the business represents a total investment of $20,000,000. The monthly payroll approximates $500, 000. Sales for the ten years which the Company has been located in Detroit aggregate $81,650,721.14. There are outstanding in the hands of users more than 18,000 motor carriages and nearly 4,000 trucks. Alvan Macauley, Vice-President and General Manager of the Pack ard Motor Car Company, has just made public an interesting state ment of the increase in the truck business of the Packark Company for the fiscal year ending August 31. "Our gains in the commercial car business during the fiscal year of 1912-1913 increased by 50 per cent over our sales of any previous year," says Mr. Macauley. "Parti cularly pleasing to us is the fact that the Packard truck is growing in the favor of the large corpora tions which are very careful buyers. "Installations by large companies in the past year is the best index of the regard in which these inves tigative buyers hold our trucks. For example, in the brewing field, which has not been especially active in the purchase of motor trucks for the past two years, we installed 73 heavy-duty Packards. We added 108 trucks to our represent ation in the contracting trade which is acknowledge to be the more severe transportation service. Our hydraulic dump trucks have appealed strongly to contrac tors and road builders and we ex pect these vehicles to be among our largest sellers in the coming year . We now have truck units of two, three, four, five and six ton capacity and Packard trucks to the number of 3,385 are employed in 185 lines of business requiring heavy-duty transprotation. "The outlook for an even greater volume of Packard truck business for the next fiscal year is most gra tifying. The value of our past year's truck sales was over $4,000, 000." COUXT VALLEY ISLAND NO. 9239. . 0. F. Regular meetings held at "Castle Hall," Wailuku, on First and Third Thursdays of each mouth. Visitiug Brothers cordially invited. JOHN E. GARCIA, C. R. J. S. MEDEIROS, F. S. Aviation Meet ? (Continued from Toge l.) it's full capacity. Ninety per cent of the vehicles went into the field and the drivers and occupants paid admission. Still, there were a number of people who may well be termed 'cheap skates." Tluy wanted to see a man risk his life for then amusement, and yet would not pay an admission chargt; they stuck on the outside of the fence all day. That they missed the best part of the show, is, cf course, known to the inside bunch, and the mean ones who saw nothing of the low, trial flights or the carry ing of passengers, will know now that they missed something worth seeing. At ten o'clock on Sunday morn ing there were thousands of people present and a buzz of excitement was heard when Gunn strolled over to the bi-plane and began to tune it up. He had, early in the morning, when only a couple of autos were on the ground, flown from the hangar across the big lagoon, to the official starting point. The people who saw this flight knew that Gunn was an ex pert. It was evidenced by his every move, and the way in which he swept along, forty or fifty feet above the water, showed that he and his machine were alright. The manner in which he landed also indicated that he had full control of his aeroplane, and the beautiful way in which the bird-like craft gently came to earth and ran along like a huge eagle with it's wings outspread, was a fine sight. FIRST FLIGHT. The first official flight of the day began at about half-past ten o'clock, and the machine took the air after but a short run along the ground. The crowd cheered and Gunn waved his hand. Then he shot down over the lake and up above the trees that lined the water. As he disappeared behind the trees, his engine was heard to stop. The crowd saw him swoop dowil and then there was silence. Manager Newman and a bunch of mechanics jumped into their auto and dashed away in the direction of the place where the air-man had disappeared. They were hardly at the edge of the woods, when the buzzing of the aeroplane engine was heard and Gunn came sailing back, well up in the air. HIT A TREE It appears that Gunn, after fly ing across the lake, passed over the trees and then in making a turn, struck a tall kiawe tree with one of his planes. As there was a clear space near, he at once landed and, after some hard work, got a branch that had been broken from the tree, out of the place where it was entangled in his planes. He then started up his engine again and resumed his flight. During the first flight, Gunn showed that making turns was as easy for him to accomplish as they are for the ordinary chauffeur on earth. He turned and circled to his heart's content and then, to add a thrill to the end of the first flight, swooped down like an eagle and, just as it appeared that he would strike an automobile, sheered up into the air again and, a second later, made his landing. There were auto toots and cheers then from the crowd. OTHER FLIGHT8. The second flight was a much longer one. Gunn flew away down over Kahului, the sandhills of Puunene and over the Paia road back to the starting place. The flight was most successful and the spectators were delighted. There was a wait of an hour or so then, but the third flight more than made up for the delay. Rising into the air with a quick rush, Gunn started to climb, in large cir cles, into the upper strata of the at mosphere. He encountered a pretty stiff breeze when about one thous and feet up and the aeroplane rolled like a ship at sea. Gunn, however, soon steadied his machine, and continued on his upward climb. lie reached an altitude of 1,700 feet and then made several circles around the grounds. Finally, he alighted beautifully in the center of the field. When Gunn took the air for the second time, there were a number of wild cluck approaching the lagoon. The bird-man saw them and at once turned his aeroplane in the direction of the mob. The ducks saw the huge bird coining at them and they broke off at an angle and flew at their fastest pace away from what must have appeared to them to be a monster bird of some sort. Another amusing incident was when a mule walked out on the plain and stared at the aeroplane, which was just about ready to go up. Gunn smiled and said. "I'll shift the mule, just watch me." He jumped into his seat and using the machine in the fashion of an automobile, chased the mule for some distance. The The animal, true to its family trait, would not increase it's pace at first, but soon becoming alarmed, kicked up it's legs in the air, and raced for the trees. There were no more long flights before noon, but Gunn took Mrs. Newman for a short run in the aeroplane. The aviator did not go to any height to speak of, but still left the ground for a short distance. Later on in the day Harry Baldwin, manager of the Maui Agricultural Company, took a run in the machine. Miss Bald win and C. D. Lufkin also had a flight with Gunn. DANGER! Gunn, in speaking of taking up passengers, told the inside story about accidents that sometimes occur when passengers are being carried. "It is this way," he re marked to a Maui News man, "".he aviator knows what to do, and when to do it. He knows how to balance when a sudden puff of air strikes him, or when a 'pocket' is encountered in the air. The passenger does not know, and, when the dip comes, he, generally, leans the same way as the dip, and then two persons are killed at once. That is the trouble about carrying passengers in an aeroplane. The passenger does the wrong thing when a sudden lurch comes, and then the aviator cannot save him self or his passenger. It is alright to skim along the ground, and go a few feet in the air but, beyond that, there is danger when the pas senger is not fully aware of what to do." M. II. Newman, who managed the flights for Gunn and a hui, says that he is delighted with the way the Chinase aviator performed and that he will come back to Maui, before long, and bring the hydro-aeroplane for exhibi tion flights. A powerful engine his been ordered from New York, and some sensational flights over land and water will be made in the n.'ar future. The party of aviators and mechanics went to Kauai from Maui, and exhibition flights are to be given on the Garden Island. The Maui flights were very success ful and, although as much money as was expected, was not taken at the "gates," the hui and Tom Gunn are satisfied for the present. They have proved that they can fly, and that is the great thing in heir eyes. VACCINATION INOT1CE.
