Weighing the sweat of a man's brow is the task set for the United States Bureau of Mines station in Pittsburg, according to A. C. Fieldne, station superintendent and supervising chemist. ' The work will he uniertaken by scales so delicately adjust sd that their accuracy has been tested to within approximately 1,200 of a pound. To obtain material for the test, it was said that men lifting weights in an enclosed chamber were to be sub jected to various degrees of tempera ture, humidity, and air movements which would then be exactly control led with scientific instruments under the constant observation of physicists and physicians. Fanciful as the work may seem, it was pointed out that it ha an intense ly practical purpose. For instance, in the Montana copper mines high tem peratures are frequently encountered where it must be known at what tem perature the men may work in safety. The same problem arises in the steel mills where the men work in rather high 'emperatures with safety, pro vided there is fairly rapid movement of air. If ' the air movement is not sufficiently rapid the temperature rap idly may become dangerous. HAWAIIAN MUSIC FOR THE HAWAIIANS LEON APPLEWHITE IS STAR IN THEATRICS superior quality and rea sonable prices are any induce ment to you, you should buy yourself a new vercoat It is impossible to describe toe many garments that we are offering, but you will find aii ample assortment of styles aM materials and at extreme v low prices. So. Tryon Honolulu, T. H. Dec. 29. Hawaiian i music, to be effective, should be com-1 ! rosed in Hawaii and not in the Green wich villag-e section of New York nor ! in the Renter of Chicago,' it was decided at the first .meeting of the Hawaiian Legends and Music Commission, ap pointed recently by Governor Wallace R. Farrington to perpetuate the island fables and native ineles of melodies. The smooth arrangement of notes so familiar in local composition is possible only in Hawaii and can not be produced "amid the rumble of elevated railroads subway trains, and other discordant noises of large cities on the mainland," one speaker declared. Th,e committee decided to take imme diate action toward preserving selected native legends that aireaay nave neeu written, to be followed later by the pub lication of legends, as yet unwritten, whic have come down through genera tions of the Hawaiians by word of mouth. It was pointed out that some of these latter might be lost unless early steps arc taken to have them written and published. SMALL SUGAR CROP IN THE HAWAIIAS Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 29. The sugar production ofl the Hawaiian Islands for the crop year beginning September 30, 1920, and ending September 30, 1921, to talled only 539,196 tons, the lowest in the past ten years, E.

'The outstanding fea ture of the year's work has been the shortage and under-efflciency of labor not only affecting the : 921 crop, but havini its baneful influence also on Slanting, progress and rotation of fu ture crops. How senoua wilj be the ef fect on fStwre crops remains to be seon " "Tha price for raw sugar In 1921 nl.0 has been disastrously low. The tpheaval in the market has resulted in a siuation little short of chaotic, not m wawaii. but in every cane-grow ing country of "the world."

The greatest aids to the proper performance of an automobile are good gasoline and a dependable lubricant. To get these you should ask the. man at the pump for the improved "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE. And when he asks "How about some oil?" Say "Polarine." Do not accept a nameless product for which you will pay just as much. There is a background of more than fifty years' experience supporting the reputation of the Standard Oil Company (N. J.) as producers of the best petroleum products. Never has this reputation been better deserved than it is today. If you are having difficulty these frosty mornings in getting your motor started, look to your gasoline and oil. It costs less per mile to use "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE and POLARINE. They are obtainable wiierever you motor. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (NEW JERSEY) vii
