A Delightful Outing
Friday ofternoon a small party of
adventurous hikers, under' the con
duct of Mr. Lydgate, made the round
of the Wailua valley, the Pollahu
helau, and the new Pollahu park. It
was a beautiful afternoon, and the
views both mauka and makal, look
ing into the valleys on either side,
were superb. Interspersed with the
scenery, the guide gave the party, by
way of commentary, a running fire of
natural history and legendary lore.
Returning they visited the famous
sacrificial stone at Holoholoku, the
birthstone.and Papaalae, where the
discovery of fire was made, interest
places just back of the cocoanut grove.
Meanwhile the rest ofthe party,
some two dozen In number, were
gathering at the Broadbent place,
Waipouli, and a most delicious picnic
supper was being assembled, includ
ing a camp fire and broiled dishes
cooked thereon.
The hikers refreshed themselves by
a swim in the tumbling surf, and
even more than the rest were ready
for the feast of good things which fol-'
lowed.
Naturally and inevitably, as the
shadows of evening deepened, the
campfire was the center of attraction.
Reclining about it there were for
tunes of the hand reading variety for
those who had the courage of their
probity, impersonnations in German
and Negro, and capital stories with a
local and personal flavor all by
recognized amateur artists of the
first class.
Only the fear of the morning
whistle broke"up the party with the
common impulse "why don't we do
this sort of thing often, we will!"

Result of California Gasoline
Shortage Investigation
Early in June, tin: California Auto
mobile Trade Association, at its an
nual meeting at Fresno, California,
discussed the gasoline situation and
sont a telegram to the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, which stated
that "evidence in hand lends to a gen
eral belief that the shortage is arti
ficial." The Association asked for a
Government investigation and appoint
ed a committee to take up the inquiry.
Agents of the Department of Justice
in California were in due course in
structed to act.
The Automobile Trade Association's
committee made a thorough examina
tion of the situation, resulting in the
following letter, dated July 13, address
ed to the Chief of the Bureau of Invest
igation, of the Department of Justice
in San Francisco:
Oakland, Cal., July 13, 1020.
E. N. Blanford,
Chief of Bureau of Investigation,
Department of Justice,
Post Oflice Building, San Francisco.
Dear Sir:
On June r.th. I!i20, at the annual
meeting o the California Automobile
Trade Association held at Fresio, the
question of a gasoline shortage was
taken up and discussed at length and
many statements were made by
men whose honesty and integrity
we would not question, indicating be
yond any question of a doubt that the
gasoline shortage was a ficticious one,
rather than a natural one; and a reso
lution was passed authorizing the ap
pointment of a committee to wire the
Attorney General immediately that, in
our belief, the gasoline shortage was
ficticious and asking for an immediate
investigation or hearing, and that this
organization pledged its support in the
matter.
Another resolution was passed au
thorizing the appointment of a com
mittee of five from this organization
to gather information to assist in the
investigation if it were ordered. As
you know the Attorney General at
once ordered an investigation, and we
proceeded to get together all evidence
that we might be able to collect. This
committee worked diligently on the'
matter and has a mass of correspond
ence pertaining thereto, but nothing
that tends to indicate a fictitious
shortage of gasoline. On the other
hand, everything points to a natural
shortage.
Statements were made that wells
were capped and that production was
being withheld. I'pon investigation
it was found that seven wells were
capped on the order of the Gas and
Oil Supervisor of the State Mining
Bureau, which made it compulsory on
the part of the oil companies to do so.
The reason for capping them was that
the wells had been brought In and the
necessary pipe Jines were not run to
bundle them and thousands of cubic
feet of natural gas per hour was being
wasted; consequently the wells were
capped until the proper facilities could
1)0 installed for handling.
Statements were made that in var
ious communities where the oil com
panies had small distributing plants
that the tanks were full of gasoline
and that carloads of gasoline were re
maining on the tracks and demurrage
being paid on same. I'pdti investiga
tion wo found that this was true to
some extent. For instance, a carload
of gasoline would bo sent to a given
point in accordance with the allotment
provisions; in some instances, upon
arrival, the storage tanks were not
su'Ikiently empty to receive the entire
contents of the cur, with the result
that in some cases it would be two or
three days before the contents of the
car could be loaded into storage tanks.
Statements were made that a thous
and signs were being made in Los
Angeles on the order of a certain oil
company showing the price of gasoline
at thirty cents a gallon. On investiga
tion it was traced through fourteen
people, each one having been told by
the other that such was the case until
the source of information was" reached.
Tlp conversation was that if anyone
wanted to know the price of gasoline,
he could go down to San Fernando
Street to a certain oil company's ware
house and see for himself.
Many other statements of a similar
nature were made, and everything'
traced with the same result that it
was all hearsay. Therefore, we feel
that we have not been able to sub
stantiate the statements that were
made that the gasoline shortage was
a fictitions one.

Gentlemen: I have found the Paige very satisfactory in
every respect. I have owned two Hudson cars before pur
chasing Paige, and I desire to state that I had always
thought the Hudson was in a class by itself as to low up
keep cost but my judgment was wrong.-
I use my car for rent service and it must be fit and
ready at all times. The Paige I find Is always ready for
the call of duty.
Its upkeep cost is much lower than my Hudson cars
and cost of repair has been nil. '
If anyone is in doubt about the good qualities of the
Paige have them phone or write the undersigned.

Read what tlie people of Honolulu think of
the Paige
would tax the reserve energies of any car, but my Paige
seemed to run better after each trying trip. Not knowing
the proper road, I once drove it over the Wilhclmina Rise
road, a feat I do not think has ever been attempted. And
over the other side of the island, I have driven it over
muddy grades in rainy weather without chains to the as
tonishment of my friends. And over rough roads, I just
sailed it along at a 30-mile clip without any inconvenience.
I was a booster of Paige cars. I am now and will be
as long as the Paige plant produces as good cars as they
are producing now.
Taking it all iu all, the Paigo car is one of the best
cars I have ever driven.
Very truly yours,
