troubled with dampness or freezing.
For the framing of this building use
good 2X4 stuff. placing one stringer
around the top of the wall even with
its outside edge and another stringer
even with its inside edge.
Place a series of 2x4 studs. eight
feet nine inches long, in an upright
position on each sill, and toenail them
to the sills. Before placing the stud
ding. locate the door three feet wide
in the clear, and the windows about
two feet wide and six feet high.
There should be four windows on
the east end. The door shoulG be in
each side two in the west and one in
the east end. near the south side. At
ter placing the studding, nail on a
2X4 piece for a plate.
Now take 2x6 joists % feet long and
nail them to the studs just beneath
the plate so you can cell to them on
the under side.
Place some 2x4 pieces lengthwise
between the studding where you want
to nail the boxing; divide the height
and insert the first railing three feet
from the top of the sill and the second
railing three feet above that, so that
you can nail the boxing at two places
I'm the middle and at each end.
Before putting on the boxing take
heavy felt paper or tarred roofing and
nail it to the outside of the studding
After the outside is boxed up, get
some sound, dry sawdust and fill in
the wall as you cell up the inside.
Be very careful to beat and pack
the sawdust firmly as you cell up the
wall. You now have a solid twelve
inch wall Of sawdust commencing on
the concrete wall and extending up to
the plate.
In order to have the sawdust dry. II
is advisable to get 1t fresh from the
mill and put 1t in a shed where 1t Will
not get wet and where " u can stir 1t
SO that II will season well. l find
that the dryer the sawdust the better
the result.
Having the walls finished. put on a
good shingle roof with a fairly steep
pitch Then cell under the joists with
good flooring and fill in the loft with
sawdust until the joists are covered
one or two inches. Compact this saw
dust with that of the walls.
This makes a frost-proof house The

door open. plenty OF light will be ad-

COLLEGE TEAMS
WELL MATCHED

The most important game of the
present football season will take place
on Saturday at the Moiliili grounds
when the College of Hawaii will stack
up against the Oahu College team.
The latter team in its only game
this season handsomely defeated the
High School eleven. Hawaii also de-
feated the High School easily.
Hard practise is being INDUCED in
by both teams.
Hawaii defeated the High School by
21 points to 0, while PunahOu did the
trick, % to 3. These scores point
to a close and exciting game next
Saturday
Rice and zap may not be able to
play for Hawaii next Saturday owing
to injuries and this is bound to in.
jure the college which has very limit.

Ran Hitchcock, Inman and Schuman
will probably be in the Punahou line

THE GROWING POPULARITY Of SOCCER

Physical Culture: Now that we
are in the midst of the football sea-
son, it is gratifying to note the grow
ing popularity of soccer football It
is too much to expect that this form
Of football will take the place of the
American collegiate game but there
is no reason why it should do So
They are almost distinct in style. and
virtually different games, fully as diff
ferent as football and basketball
Colleges and athletic clubs that haze
teams playing tho intercollegiate
game can just as well have other
teams playing Rugby or soccer at the
same time. The latter game may be
played without the specializing and
organization essential i'm our great
college game, and without the neccs-
sity for such hardening and training
in preparation. One objection to our
football lies in the fact that body Of
university students, numbering from
three to five thousand, may be repre-.
scented in this athletic sport by q aoo-
parative handful of players on the
varsity eleven, perhaps an eleven
representing each of the four classes,
freshmen, sophomores, juniors and
seniors, and a small body of SCRUB"
players, willing to offer opposition
and thus to give practice to the I'M
portant varsity squad. The army
of students who enthuse as specrl.
tors, and who need the exercise far
more than the seasoned athletes on
the various teams, are left with little
or no physical recreation, beyond

THE STRIVING FOR
ACHIEVEMENTS

There are those who decry the prac-
tice of athletic feats of this character,
deeming it a waste of human energy
and an unwarranted tax upon the bod
lily organism However, the very fact
that one is able to battle with the
waves for so many miles and hours
is evidence OF the possession of sucn
a degree of strength ond vitality that
an effort of this kind is only normal
manifestation of the life that is in
the man, just as the all-day lope of
ural activity. When physically fit aud
capable, no harm is done to the body
by such a test of endurance. But on
the other hand, the feat of swimming
the English Channel, OF winning the
marathon at the Olympic games, the
title of worlds champion oarsman or
any other noteworthy accomplish
ment will be found a source of in
spiriation, either in its attempt or its
realization. 1t gives one an aim,
something to strive for; and if one
fails, then still he is better for the eff
fort. 1t is for this reason that com
petitive athletics are of incaluculable
value to young people, having an in
! fluence upon the moral and mental de-
velopment of the individual as well as
upon his physical being 1t is very
well to talk OF exercise in moderation
and certainly there is no one who
would disparage the advantage Of
seeking merely to improve the health
| through ones exercise, but fulI-bood-
ed, ardent youth demands something
more than this. And it is a thorough
It wholesome impulse which leads the
! boy in the country town to strive to
increase his strength and improve his
swimming ability with the hope that
| by the end Of the summer, or next
year at least, he will be able to swim
the mill-pond, the longest way across.
If he were satisfied merely to take a
bath in the water, because conscious
OF its aid TO his health, he might re,
main an undeveIoped, backward
shrinking boy instead Of the manly
specimen that he becomes through his
aim at definite achievement.
SO much for the inspiration of great
feats of endurance and strength, par
ticularly in the popular branches OF
sport It is well that human nature
is what it is, and that athletes viii
continue to strive to accomplish thai
which is hard just as the more ma
ture man i'm the serious business o
life will eagerly grappIe with tina
which is hard, and which is beyon,
achievements of those who have gon,
before him. In athletics, the effort /
only sport, yet sometimes none tn
less hard But il means character
and payes the way for a readiness
struggle with greater difficulties an
, to master more serious and weight
problems in the stern affairs of life.
