Star-Bulletin,

Honolulu, Hawaii, Gentlemen:

I suppose that because you are in the tropics all the people are complaning about the heat and if they don't complain, they should. Why be hot when you can be cool?. I have a grand patent to reduce your temperature and have every- body at business and at home nice and cool all the day,

My patent is to have all the. streets of Honolulu and the whole Island flooded with two feet of water, then put-ammonia pipes un- derneath the water, then turn on the ammonia and freeze all the water. Everybody can ico-akata to work and your temperature will drop aixty degrees,
