RREGULARITiES
Iii accordance with the new policy
ol the Land Deptirtmant to hold the
homesteaders up to the requirements
of the law, and to correct some of tho
Irregularities of bye gone days, there
lu ve been several cancellations of
htmesteads In Lawai and Kalahee
tr ids notwithstanding the fact that
tl.ey have been held for many years.
in some cases there has been no
hi nest effort to meet the residence
requirement. In others there have
bt en Irregular transfers to Ineligible
pi rties, and in others the holders
h:.ve not made good their claims to
cl izenship.
In these cases the holdings have
been cancelled, the lands with im
provements reappraised, at a much
hi ;her valuation than before, and
th y will be granted to new appli
cants, preference being given to mem
be .'s of the some family or others
cl 'sely interested.
As we understand no reflection

The present business policy and

th.' land department is much to be
conmended; It will bring large

Henry Ford tested the Ford Start

of Nawlliwili Garage, Ltd.
Ven months ago the Ford Motor
Company was not manufacturing Elec
tric Starters; today the output of its
Starter Department is greater than
th; t of any other manufacturer of
eli ttric starting devices in the world.
Its nearest competitor makes one

Company's output is fast approaching

labor was charged to each unit, but
now that machinery and equipment
have been Installed, the time per unit
Is four hours. Two huge armature
impregnating ovens have been install
ed, each with a capacity of 1700 every
eight hours. In these ovens the arma
tures are dried, soaked in varninh and
dried again. Eight hours time is re
quired for this one operation.
The power from the starter to the
motor is applied through the well
known Bendix drive, which automa
tically engages the starter and then,
once the motor is started, the starter
immediately disengages. It is equip
ped with oillcss bearings and needs
practically no attention.
Within another thirty days or six
weeks, the Ford Company expects to
be making enough starters so that
every Ford car will be equipped with
the new Electric Starting and Light
ing System.

BLUFFING THE ENEMY
The "Dover barrage," which was de
vised by Adm. Hall of the British
navy, has been called the most gigan
tic bluff of the war.
The British admiral, says the New
York Post, made what seemed to be
elaborate plans for an electric mine
field across the CJiannel from Dover.
The navy set out a number of surface
lights and then Adm. Hall managed
to sell the "secret" of the hypotheti
cal barrage to the German spy system
for twentythousand dollars. In reality,
no mines were laid; but the German
officials thought otherwise, and for a
long time kept their submarines away
from the supposedly dangerous place.
