Handsome Prize for HaleiWa
Runners---Some Timely
Foot Notes.

Schwartz ''What is it2'' somebody
asked. II know what m going to
give as prize for the Haleiwa race
When this was made known to an
Advertiser reporter, he went up and /
saw peach of a repeating clock. |
Every time you look at it it tells the |
time and every time you punch it IN
the solar plexus it rings off the chimes,
just like Bow bells or the waiter in the
Young Hotel roof garden. It is a
beauty and is certainly worth any
body while to run to Haleiwa for "a
chance at it.
So far there have been six prizes of
fered purely voluntarily. Fred L. Wal
dron was the first to make the offer.
He will give one ease of Armour's best
canned beef, one case of Pau Ka Hama
soap and one case of California navel
oranges. Then came Joe Schwartz, who
will give that very valuable clock. Bid.
good, of course, is going to give the
for the entertainment of all competi-
tors. The Advertiser will give a suit
able prize, the form of which is to be
decided on by the committee, and the
Star. which has been cordially eollabor-
a1ing with the Advertiser S sporting
department in helping the good work

them the conditions of the race.

hard as ne could.
o Mr.. yierra suggests that somethin
l be said in these columns about the cal
of the feet. The ideal way to run,
q course, is with bare feet. But only HI
y waiians themselves could ever hope
. have feet accIimated to such work al
/ so the haole or hapa haole athlete mu
L look to other methods to insure Il
l best preservation of the skin Of Il
q feet.
. The best shoes to wear are the chea
0 est kind of rubber sand shoes. Peep
talk about rubber g drawing the feet;
: those who talk that way know nothil
q about drawing, they don't even dra
o any pay. When the weight Of the boz
II comes on the foot with every step, t
s foot spreads naturally. II it be &c
3, fined by leather walls, it becomes so
~ But, with expanding rubber on t
- sides and soles of the feet, the COW
RI ing gives way with every step and t
m. foot is enabled to act as naturally
L those of our ancestors did when tn
er- raced home with their stolen brides 1
der their arms.
Ter In this climate socks should be wd
an. during the race, but not during ex
his else AS much as possible of the
oh liminary work should be done W
os& bare feet so as to harden the sole. l
