NEWS STANDARD ARMY FOSTERS FOOD PROGRAM TO HELFflAWAII Independent Supply Is Deemed Vital To Defenses Of Islands. HONOLULU, June the Hawaiian Islands pro- only 15 per of their own food supply, Major-Gen. Hugh Dram, commanding the Hawaiian department of the. TJ. army, has begun the study of a project 'for making islands self-sufficient should the emergency ever arrive through an enemy attack.

General Drum believes that of feeding the 360,000 habitants of the islands is essentially one of the problems of adequate military defense. Due to the fact that virtually of- the cultivable land; -of 'the islands Is over to the two great money making crops of sugar cane and pineapples, little of it remains available for the cultivation of other crops. Small Gardens One of 'General Drum's ideas which he is 55 endeavoring to foster is that the plantation workers should be allowed to cultivate an acre or two for produce for their own. consumption which would increase materially the domestic food supply. Normally, Hawaii has less than two months' supply of foodstuffs on hand at any one time: General Drum feels that this should be increased "by local production as a Safeguard, should the islands ever be blockaded by an enemy ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST CLOCKS The necessity of something, being done along this line was em- phasiJed in the part of the the maritime strike on Pacific coast cut off all supplies from" the mainland and threatened seriously the limited" stocks that a p.ormally on hand there.

Even without waiting, however, for the planters to take some action toward allowing part of their land to be planted to foodstuff. General Drum has created a new in the army in Hawaii, known as the Service Command which eventually formulate plans for emergency farming should the necessity ever arise. The officers detailed to' the" Service Command are making detailed studies of the agricultural conditions and possibilities throughout the entire group of islands, Crop Tests Made The Department of Agriculture through its station also carrying on tests to develop suitable corps and is providing stores of seeds that could be used in an emergency for producing- crops within, a few months. idea of the amount of foodstuffs that has to be imported each year and a part of which could be produced if all of the tillable land was not. being used for other purposes, is indicated by the following importations for the past fiscal year: 16,896,819 pounds of potatoes; 1,943,212 pounds of dried beans; 5,552,400 pounds of onions; 1.232.775 pounds of baked beans; $2.000.000 worth of fresh fruits; $3,000,000 worth of fresh and prepared meats; $734,297 worth of fish and $1,623,933 worth of eggs.

Another item that figures largely in the situation is that of rice. Owing to the fact that the of the islands includes a large majority of Oriental origin, consumes more rice than any other section of the United States. At one time it produced a large amount of what was necessary for local consumption. itce Growing Abandoned But at this time rice production seems destined for complete abandonment. This is due largely to I the lower cost of production, in other parts of the United States.

The, cost of rice production in the islands is $118.37 an acre, as compared, the average of $32.53 an acre in California. California rice growers alone sell 850.000 bags of rice to the Hawaiian Islands annually. The annual rice consumption per capita is 250 pounds. The decline in rice production in the islands began in 1912 when, following experiments by the Department of Agriculture, it developed that it could be produced in California at a price so low as to make its production here prohibitive. This, however, is only one of the problems that confront military On' the roof of the Belber building in Philadelphia has been erected for the Atlantic Refining company, one of the' world's largest clocks, with a face forty feet in.

It Is octagonal in shape, instead of being circular. It is so large that it can be seen for miles at night and is visible far out in the suburbs. The dial is covered -with white enamel and there is enough of the porcelain-like material. to cover forty refrigerators. The hours are marked" on face of this clock by oblongs two feet wide and five feet long.

The minute-hand is twenty-four feet long and the hour-hand is eighteen feet. These hands are made" from, cast aluminum and they, are so" delicately adjusted a man can move them a finger pressure: At night the whole struc- ture is illuminated by nson and the moon is made, thereby, a feeble competitor. A good idea size of this time piece can be had from the fact that the minute-marks are two feet apart and the -space, between the hour marks is ten feet. The minute-hand travels one hundred and twenty feet an hour. This clock is motor-driven and never needs It regulates" itself, sets itself and keeps itself accurate.

The -entire mechanism weighs just short of a thousand pounds and, the works could be contained in a cube two feet in diameter. This great improvement over the old time movements weighing several tons and occupying huge space. The Atlantic clock is the central feature of an immense sign which calls public notice to Atlantic Plash, the words blinking and off precision. In the construction of this sign and the clock there were used nine hundred feet tubing, which holds various gases which make different colored lights. This is done- by strong electrical -currentj which causes the gases to vibrate.

Also, in the making of this huge clock there was used a mile of wire of various kinds. Several tons of steel-were used as well, many gallons of brains of a whole corps of daughts- men electricians, structural mechanics and other artisans. Numerous metals were used--iron, brass, copper, aluminum and even silver being included. As a whole, the sign and the clock contribute much that is new in mechanics; and emphasize the fact' that it pays 'to advertise--when such a service as furnishing the, correct time, night and day. is rendered to the rniblic.

authorities in making, the islands self-sufficient from the of food should they ever be block-, aded, and General Drum hopes with his new Service Command to work out complete plans for such an emergency should it ever arise.

(UP)-A relic of the Revolutionary War, Bull's Bridge, one of two covered bridges remaining in Connecticut, still provides passage across the swift waters Housatonic River.

Local history jottings show Gen. George Washington passed over It with two of his aides. And today, gasoline powered vehicles up "four tons" may use it safely. It was built'by John Bull, of Dover Plains, N. who cut the necessary'timbers from the surrounding woodlands.

The stringers, rough hewn logs, were laid from shore to shore at a point where the river Is narrow and upon these the rest of the structure was raised. Its abutments are high above the average level of the river, so spring freshets never have damaged the old bridge, while modern structures of steel at other points along river have been twisted into grotesque shapes by the turbulent flood waters. The super-structure -has been repaired from to time, but its nature never has been radically By order or the selectmen of the town of Kent, the weight litnic of four tons was set. In days gone by, horse drawn vehicles could pass one another on the bridge, but today the same practice would prove unsatisfactory to the "wider'' motor vehicles. The exact year in which the bridge was built is not recorded, but tradition places It at time of- the Revolution.

A galloping highway, or a quick line of communication was needed between the Hudson and Connecticut rivers, and a bridge was necessary Bull was called upon to erect the structure and. according to the was still engaged in its construction when Washington passed that way. The timbers of the bridge had not been secured and the roadway was shaky. ton and his aides walked across, while Bull led the horses. Once Toll Bridge Although the highway was little more than.

a path, it was a toll road. Users of the bridge-likewise were subject'. to a toll charge, but residents of Kent could pass without fee. -years have passed since the last toll fee was paid at' the toll house on the west side of the bridge. Charges were 6 cents for horse, wagon and occupants, while, the traveler on foot paid 3 cents.

Bull bridge Is a scant half mile from the New York state boundary and in its heyday served an important part in the flights of "blue offenders. Once across the Kent's '''felons" wasted little time in reaching the, border and from then on their capture was difficult. Such "offenders never again would be molested as long as they stayed away from the state. The constabulary could not be bothered with the "high fallutin process of extradition."
