Kekua will be permitted to pay the withheld wages in two instalments: $30 at the end of December and the remaining $34 at the close of January. According to the testimony in the case, Miss Beatrice Pookalani, 23, worked in Kekua's home laundry two months at the rate of $35 a month. During the two months Beatrice received a total of six dollars. When she asked her employer for the balance she was told he had deducted it for board and lodging. The laundry helper was required to work daily, including Saturdays, from 7 a.m.

A discriminating mark. we have no complaint against as to who thought of it first, executive 'e president Briant H. Wells related ow "iron-syrup" was a part of the cadet's diet at West Point when he was a "plebe," back in 1894. At that time it was called "Sammy" by the upper classmen. Plebes were not allowed to ask for Sammy but haJ to reu.ct that some one "Honorable Mr.

Samuel, Sir," unless they first proved they could take it. The initiation consisted in the plebe's eating at one sitting six thick slices of bread saturated with the syrup. If he passed, he could say, "Please pass Sammy, Sir." General Wells acknowledged that he was one of the pleb who qualified. Later, he commanded a company in the Canal Zone while the big ditch was being dug. General Goeth-als, in charge, of the project, plante." bugar cane when he first went there and had it boiled as open pan syrup which was part of the regular rations served to the 50,000 men employed.

"While I only became a sugar man after I retired from the army, I knew all about 'iron syrup' before some of you fellows," Gen. Wells said. Decay Reduced Tooth decay in young children was almost 100 per cent at Ewa in 1930, before the nutrition work was begun, Dr. Wilbar said. It has been reduced to 19 per cent this year as against 44 per cent average for Hawaii.

All employees at Ewa. with all members of their families have been tested for tuberculosis this year, showing 15 per cent reactors, enablii-g the plantation doc tors to take remedial action both to cure those who are curable and check its spread. The report of the committee on diversified crops was then presented, the results of the first year's studies showing that commendable progress has been made. It was recommended that the committee continued without change in the personnel; that the trustees fix the lines of their investigation more specifically; and that an appropriation be set aside for furthering a few practical projects favored as worthwhile. The plantation managers golfed or erwise amused themselves yesterday afternoon at Waialae.

The day ended with the traditional banquet and entertainment. Louis Silva Sails For Townsend Job justifiable arrests on this score," did not recognize attempts now going forward to raise funds for a central labor temrjle. "When a in sugar prices was only "an emotional flurry" which did not really mean anything. President John Waterhouse, escorted to the chair, said he had nothing to add to this assurance from high sources. Nutritional work at the Ewa health project during the past year has added further proof that the mortality and sickness rates among growing children and adults depend on their food, Dr.

Charles L. Wilbar told the plantation managers. Correct nutrition is also the most important factor in the prevention of disease. The Ewa Health Project was subsidized by the HSPA nine years ago, originally to study the relation of foods to tooth decay, then very prevalent among school children. In the last seven years the work has been broadened to find out the effect of different diets on the general health of those who were willing to cooperate with the physicians in charge of the laboratory experiments.

Mortality Drops By careful supervision of the feeding of bottle-fed babies who have been given compounded foods containing the correct proportions of proteins, mineral salts, fats and vitamins and the infant mortality at Ewa for children under one year of age has been reduced and is now the lowest in Hawaii, if not in the whole world, Dr. Wilbar said He exhibited four nursing bottles containing as many formulae, their palatability as well as food value indicated by the fact that the babies prefer them to raw milk. Not all babies born at Ewa have lived, the same proportion as everywhere else having succumbed from asphyxia and early birth, but during the past year only one has died from an intestinal complaint. Studies of anemia among plt-tation babies and children have proved that this was due to lack of iron. Ewa Plantation company has cooperated by manufacturing an open pan syrup from pure cane juice boiled down in copper kettles, after the chemists had shown that the sugar process at Ewa removes the iron and mineral salts originally present in the juice.

By using this syrup, the proportion of children suffering from anemia has been reduced to normal. This iron-syrup was put on sale at Ewa store last week, Dr. Wilbar said whereupon Manager Hans L'Or-ange of Oahu Sugar company said that it had been on sale at the Waipahu store for several years. Used At West Point Frank C. Atherton said that the iron-syrup is used by the Hawaiian Taro company in making a baby food which is in growing demand.

KGU The old Ala Moana bridee was closed to traffic yesterday morning because of the construction of the new bridge now under A detour was established through Atkinson road from Ka-piolani boulevard to Ala Moana and signs put up at the junction of Ala Moana and Atkinson road broadcasting from his fireplace at The Advertiser Prevost said. "But we believe that in numerous cases seamen have been detained and forced to forfeit $10 bail on charges which could not be proved in court.

The men have to ship out and cannot defend themselves. Last week one vessel had $180 in bail forfeitures collected from the crew and we know of cases where the charges could not be proved. Consequently we have asked F. D. Lowrey, chairman of the police commission, to investigate." Threatens Boycott Prevost added that should the investigation be refused, he would ask the SUP to pass a resolution forbidding union members to patronize Honolulu establishments until the condition was corrected.

Police Chief William A. Gabriel-son expressed surprise last night that any organization should make a protest of that nature. "The charges are utterly absurd," Gabrielson said. Chairman F. D.

Lowrey of the police commission had no comment to make. Hits WPA Union The Central Labor Council took a crack at what was termed the i controlled" WPA Workers Alliance, now being organized among relief workers. Prevost said that particular exception was taken among council members to organizing activities now going forward among PWA workers at Hickam field. The council will have nothing to do with the organization, Prevost said. He also warned that the council Careless or selfish motorists who cause unnecessary traffic jams in downtown Honolulu will be dealt with severely by the law, Chief of Police William, A.

Ga-brielson said yesterday. In ordering his officers to double their vigilance on busy street corners in town, Chief Gabrielson said that a $5 tag would be given any driver hereafter who tries to beat out a yellow light when the far side of the intersection is blocked by non-moving traffic. Many operators, Chief Gabriel-son said, thoughtlessly or selfishly try to get across an intersection when they know they must stop at the center of the intersection. Thus, they create a jam by blocking cross traffic that may otherwise proceed without loss of much time. 4..

R. Cromwell and his wife, the former Doris Duke, arrived on the Philippine Clipper from the Coast yesterday for a Hawaiian Christmas and holiday season. Both will remain here several months, Cromwell until mid-January and his wife until spring.

During that time they hope to have their palatial Persian mansion at Kaalawai completed. Cromwell took little time in brushing away three spurious figments which have attached themselves to the Cromwell legend. They do not intend to buy a ranch in Hawaii because they already have enough to occupy them here. They have not sunk in the motion picture industry in an effort to out-do the Jock Whitneys, because such a thought hasn't even occurred to them. They will not sponsor a local ball park just because.

And finally, they were not involved in a possible air crash on the Mainland, although they were in a private plane at the time one was reported missing to the department of commerce. Aside from the denials, the Cromwells were pleased to return to Hawaii. Mrs. Cromwell emerged from the Clipper garbed in attractive black and yellow tweeds, a felt hat sans feather, and an immense pair of black goggles. She warmly greeted Sam, David and Sargent Kahanamoku, who were present to meet her.

Cromwell was genial as he was decorated with leis. He expressed the opinion that business conditions were improving in the East, possibly as a result of the recent election. He said that businessmen in the East were far more worried than westerners over possible involvement of the United States in the event of a European war. "Personally," he said, "I think we ought to know when we are well off, and stay out of foreign complications."
