THE TIMES g|9 CIRCLE

Dear Boys and Girls: At last
we are started. Our column was
to have been in Saturday, but
some busybody crowded us out,
we being newcomers. Now for
our first contests, for which three
prizes will be offered.
Have you noticed that the
PUSSY Willows" have just come
out and that the woods are full
of them? Did you know that
there are several fables regarding
the origin of the Pussy willows?
Yes there are. Now maybe some
of you could write a better fable
than any we have heard. The
greatest story writer's are men and
women who have inherited or de-
veloped a powerful Imagination.
Now just go out and find Pussy
Willow. Look it over and then
write a story of not more than
200 words regarding its origin.
This story must be in the Times
office by Thursday morning adj
dressed to Uncle Bob. On Satur-
day the prize winners will be an
nounced and the contest for next
week made public. No telling but
what some of you boys and girls
have the makings of literary
folks.
l want every boy and girl not
more than fifteen years of age TO
become a member of the Times
Circle. We are going to have a
department which will be not only
of educational value but of re-
ward as we'll. No boy or girl over
fifteen will be admitted to the
contests.
In brief follow the conditions
for this week:

KAMS TO MEET
OAHU COLLEGE

The Kamehameha athletic commit
tee met yesterday and after a general
discussion agreed to join with oahu
College i'm promoting a track meet at
which the scholars of the two edu-
cational establishments could meet
in competition. The inter-scholastic
rules were carefully considered and
passed almost in their entirety, the
only deviation being that the Kams
agreed to the contention of the Oahu
Collegians that post graduates be per-
mitted to compete. 1t is quite likely
now that when the matter is put up
to the Oahu College athletic commit
tee as it will be today, that the
proposition will be accepted and in
all probability a date fixed for the
meet.
The meet is certain to be sue.
cessful one if the schools are able to
put in teams representing anything
like their full strength, for among the
scholars and post-graduates are boys
who take a high place in athletics
It is somewhat of a pity that the
members of other schools will not be
able to compete, for open events fol
championships would certainly be
welcomed by all interested in sport
and in Honolulu their name is legion
In addition to the track events there
will be a ball game, which will per
haps be the star attraction of the
meet. The preparations for the NEE
will be pushed on apace and within
the next week or so a definite an
nouncement is to be expected.

INDIAN RoWLDER PAINTING.

In olden times the Indians were &C.
customed to paint curious characters
upon powders. We found many Of
these painted powders in the Thomp-
son Indian country. The drawings were
red. and were probably made with
paint composed Of red clay mixed with
grease. These drawings are said by
the Indians to have been executed by
the young Indian girls as part of
their initiation into the society of
the women of the tribe. Such initia-
tions took place at about the age of
IA, and were accompanied by a long
series of rites. Some Of these were in
tended to develop patience, endur
ance and courage. For instance, pa
thence was taught by requiring the girl
to pick the needles one by one from
many boughs of the fir tree, and by
obliging her to paint these curious
characters, which are also symbolic Of
ceremonies. Endurance was taught by
fasting, which often lasted a number
of days. Courage was tested by night
/ ly vigils in lonely spots, such as Gem
eteries. Another feature in these ini-
tiations was publication. This was
accomplished by refraining from eat,
ing certain things, isolating ones sell
in the forest, and by vigorous bath
ng.

RAIN STOPPED
ALL THE SPORTS

Generally speaking there was moth

terday owing to the torential rainfall
which swept over the city. Most of
the athletic arenas were under water,
and outdoor sports were quite out Of
the question King and Kaoo could
do nothing in the way of training and
tennis at Oahu College was also tabu.
This tournament is expected to finish
shortly. Only two games are to be
played to complete the final match
between Hoogs and Glib, but that is
all that has been necessary for some
days past. The doubles tournament
is still hanging fire, and seems likely
to be held up quite a while yet.
