WHAT'S THE MATER with KerOsenef Every
body is complaining. The proximity Of Mars
perhaps, or the Pennsylvania riots.
The TRIAL TRIP of the Litelite to Kauai satisfied
all on board that she is everything that can be de-

Friday. Not to say that the water was really shut
off as threatened, for in these matters, unfortunate

but we only refer to 1t for the purpose OF remark
ing that some very funny episodes resulted from
the threatened stoppage OF water. Some people
can't get along without a bath In the morning.
