CANNAASTARCH INDUSTRY PROGRESSES IN HAWAII Total Output for 1924 Was 22,000 Cases—Increase in Acre- age Planned. Correspondence of the Associated Press. HONOLULU, February 10.—Hawail's most recent industry—the production of starch from canna plants—came through the past year with a total output of 22,000 cases, according to announcement by Edouard R. Doty, secretary of the Hawallan Starch Co. The entire production will be ab- sorbed on the mainland and is sought anxiously by mainland manufacturers | of starch, who mix it with their own product to raise the quality, Doty said. The manufacture of starch from canna tubers was launched by the Hawalian company about four and a half years ago, with the company harvesiing its first appreciable crop in 1924. The demand for the product, Doty sald, is practically limitless, and 100,000 cases of the starch could have been disposed of this year. Consider- able new acreage is being planted to | canna, which is refined at Hilo. WARSHIPS COMING HOME. Norfolk Expects Texas and Arkan- sas for Repairs March 12.

He left me the glasses and flgurines, which were breakable. The rest, which had cost him upwards of $200,000 he took. “He smiled suavely when I ques- tioned him. He repeated what he said about the debt of a master mind to the world. Then he left us— without money, with the mortgage one our home falling due, with his life insurance premiums unpald, with creditors clamoring for thousands of dollars.” Mrs. Parker said it was while her husband still was visiting her oc- casionally that he was served with the court order requiring him to pay her $100 a week maintenanc She expressed a belief that this order and his pressing creditors prompted him to disappear. . “If he only shows himself to be sincers, I won't take any actlon to have him punished for abandoning the children,” she concluded.

(Thess articles, by the Director of the National Oratorical ( deal with the technique of printed at this time on the thcory that contextants, aving gathercd data for their orations, e ready to put them into shape portant feature of the articles wi cerpts from fome of the finest examples Special emphasis is placed og the two central ideas of the contest brevity and effectiveness.) or otherwise, Lincoln employed musical principles in con- structing his speeches. This applie: not merely to his use of pleasing words and his blending of. them® into har- monious sentences. He was far subtler than just that. He used the princi- ple of counterpoint in the sentence itself and in the logical scheme into which the sentence fitted. Counter- point is a trick whereby a ‘musician develops a theme by seemingly de- parting from it—and often by all but wiping it out with conflicting, or, at least, competing, notes. Lincoln's oratorical technique at its height was of that type: Take his Gettysburg address. Its theme, of course, is “dedication.” Every one knew just how such a theme should be treated. Lincoln’s predecessor on that day's program ruggled with It for an ornate hour— dedication,” “dedication” and more “dedication.” Lincoln did just the opposite. He stated the purpose of the gathering and then promptly showed it to be a futile and conceited mistake. They had come to dedicate ground which they had no right to dedicate, which the heroic dead had, indeed, already dedicated. Then the stupendous and challenging thought-— but they could dedicate themselves! Likewlse, in his second Inaugural we find Lincoln golng straightest to his goal when he seems most to be wandering away from it—bullding up his own cause by the hazardous ex- pedient of finding some justification for his opponent’s stand. His theme is “the task must be finished,” yet he begins by looking backward. He shows slavery to have been the central cause of the war, and then calmly adds that the struggle continues after its cause has ceased He apparently forgets the slavery is- sue and the war itself as he goes off upon those unfathomable subjects of prayer and fate. Then the argument whips back with vastly augmented force—it is God's task, and so it must be completed. Finally comes the real point In all these references to God and prayer and things divine. If the .cause is God's cause, then it should be finished up in a worthy e., with charity, forgiveness, mercy and a lofty determination to do justly by our own sufferers and to be magnan- imous toward the my as a means toward lasting peace. Lincoln was the ablest exponent of counterpoint in oratory, and almost the only one among the great speak- ers. Most of them moved in straight and thrilling sente to their goal He was unlque in knowing intuitively (for it is largely a matter of the heart) just how “by indirection to find direction out.” A woman 102 years old who never bought a dress In her iife is Mrs Sibby Overman of Liberty, N.
