amounts.
A despatch to the Star-Bulletin on
Saturday announced that a new proc
ess for the manufacture of glycerine
from sugar, under secret methods, had
been discovered. Dr. Norris declared
that it was true glycerine was an
alcohol and contains the same chem
ical properties except under different
arrangement. Mr. Peck said that he
knew that small quantities of glycer-
line could be obtained from sugar
when It was fermented to alcohol, but
that he did not believe enough could
be obtained through this method to
warrant its use.

Steps preparatory to the paving of
the business district of Honolulu, as
proposed under the improvement
plans for the next two years, and
which will cost close to $50u."i0 have
been taken by George Collins, city
A surveying party wil! bein with
in a few days and one of the plans
which Collins has o promote the ef
ficiency of the undertaking is the es
tablishment of a traffic census at all
of the principal crossings. By esti
mating the amount of tra(fic whicii
passes over a certain street he ex
pects to ascertain the class of pave
ment which will be necessary and
thus give to the people of Honolulu
the best at the least cost.
Whether it will be carried out un
der the frontage or area plan is an
other question which will have to be
decided but at present he favors the
latter. He will start the work with
that idea in mind but may find, after
the preliminary survey, that the plan
is impracticable.
"It is a tremendous undertaking."
said Collins today, "and will require
a large amount of careful thought
and preparatory work before the finaf
plans and specifications are ready.
"Of course the best method would
be by the area plan but, as we pro
ceed, obstacles may come up which
will make the frontage plan the bet
ter."
SCHOOL FUNDS
A meeting was held in the Waipahu
Chinese school house Sunday evening
at 7 o'clock, discussing the mainten
ance of the school, which was estab
lished a couple of weeks ago. The
meeting was presided over by Chock
Lun, an education supporter.
A brief talk was given by Chock
Lun on the importance
of mainten-
ance of the school. He said the way
to maintain the school is to .build a.
new school house, and a building fund
must be raised. The plan was sec
onded by Chun Wan Sau, a rice plant
er. Everybody supported the plan.
Immediately a fund was c 'buted
by the eight present amow .ing to
about $150. Today Mr. Chock and
Tong Chung Tatt, a merchant, are
going around Waipahu aBking for
funds. A tour in Honolulu will be
made some time this week. It will

WINS HONORS IN
MAINLAND SIDY
The return of Frank Crockett of
Wailuku. Maui, by the Manoa on Fri
day, has been noted by his friends
with pleasure. Some years ago he i
went East for the completion of his i
education. lie took his freshman and
sophomore ears at Nashviile. Tenn.. :
and the junior and senior years at
Ann Arbor, Mich. These years were
followed by a full course at law a'.
Ann Arbor. He received the usual t
diploma or certificate of graduation j
from the law department of Ann Ar
bor, with the class of 1917, and he
also received a full sheepskin di
ploma, making him a "Doctor of Jur
ists." He was one of. thirteen, out
of a class of one hundred and nine
members, to receive this degree. Such
distinction is recognized as coming
only to those who have earned it
through special work and scholarship.
He receives, therefore, the congratula
tions of friends, who heartily rejoice
with him over this well merited recog
nition of his alma mater.
Although young Mr. Crockett ha?
had an offer of entrance into the
practise of law here in Honolulu, yet
he naturally thinks of association
with his father, Hon. W. F. Crockett,
at Wailuku, Maul, to whom he has al
ready gone.
