THESE ISLANDS

John c. Woolley has written the
Promotion Committee as follows about
Hawaii and the volcano:
Gentlemen:
I have been delighted with Hawaii,
it's climate and its scenery, but espe-
cially its people. The coast of the
Island on the trip to Hilo by the
Wilder steamships is quite unique in
world scenery and absolutely unsur-
passed by any coast view I have ever
witnessed. The great volcanoes are
impressive beyond description and the
Volcano House at Kilauea is excellent
in every detail.

FIGURES or HOUSTON AND AUSTIN ]

OF his life.
In all candoF IL must be said that
the statues of the two men who did
SO much to make the early history
of Texas SO glorious are not alto
gether satisfactory, Nobody Is In
clined to eriticise them from a strict
ly artistic standpoint, as it is admitt-
de that, viewed solely as works of
art, they are well night flawless and
reflect great credit to Miss Elizabeth
Ney, their creator. But much fault
is found on account of the fact that
they are lifesize, instead of heroic
size, and that as a result they are
dwarfed by the many other statues
in the hail, practically all of which
are Of heroic mold. Then, too. the
dress depicted in both cases partakes
too much of the frontier and the
days when the Indians and Mexicans
We're supreme, to suit the ideas of
most of the members of the Texas
delegation. Austin is in full Indian
dress and Is furnished with a rifle,
while Houston's garb, many believe,
is altogether too archaic.
Still another thing which is severe
ly criticised is the fact that whoever
was entrusted with the work of cut
ting the name in the base OF the
Austin statue was woefully ignor-
ant of the proper way of spelling
the first name Of the great man
which it represents. This name is
spelled Steven" instead OF "Steph-
en-" and, worst of all, there is a
comma after the Steven" Why
this was placed there nobody can
understand. The lettering on the
Houston marble gives one the i'm
preston that the person who cut
it started out TO spell Samuel in
full and then changed his mind and
made it Sam" These minor defects
can probably be remetied, but the
two statues will ever suffer by com
parison with the most of the others
in the hall on account of their COM
paratiyely insignificant size.

the badger. Just at S o'clock all

someone betting on the dog on the
