Breast Stroke Acquired Easily And Is
One OF The Oldest Known To Man
Practice Should Start Out of
the Water if You Are Unable
to Swim

or all forms of swimming, the
breast stroke is probably the oldest
known to man.
The breast stroke is a great deveI-
oper of the shoulders. back and
chest II used correctly 1t gives a.
much opportunity for relaxation
which is the secret of good swim.
ming as any of the more complicated
strokes.
The fault found with the vast ma
jority Of swimmers using this stroke
lis that they Invariably hold the head
too high out OF the water, thereby
causing the feet to sink, which nat
urally creates resistance and impedes
their progress through the water.
This fault can be remedied very
easily by allowing the chin to rest In
the water, and as the hands are sent
forward exhalo forcibly through the
mouth, or as a well-known authority
has said, ''bloW your hands away from
you Inhale through the mouth as the
arms are brought back. This Is for
the purpose Of getting the movements
fixed firmly in the mind.
!. Stand with tine heels together, and
at the count of one, bring the hands
In front OF the chest, palms down,
thumbs together, elbows against the
sides Of the body. At the count of
two, push the hands forward at a
level with the shoulders and turn the
palms outward. AT three, bring the
arms back to right angles with the
body, keeping the elbows stiff: then
drop the elbows to the sides, bring
ing the hands to the original start
Ing position. This completes the
arm movement
The leg movement of the breast
stroke can be acquired by getting into
the water. grasping the side of the
pool, or ladder, extend the limbs
backward as far as possible On the
count of one, draw the legs up, heels
together, knees turned outward. On
the two count. kick the legs outward
and back until the heels are together
again.
After these preliminary movements
are mastered, the beginner should
get q pair Of water wings, place them
around the waist, relax the body
they viii keen the heaviest afloats
and try to propel oneself through the
water. using the movements pracs
ticed. The kick and the arm move
merit can be worked together, If one
will remember to kick back as the
arms are sent forward. The breath.
Ing will be simplified II the method
suggested In this article is used.

PERTINENT DISCUSSION Of GOVERNMENT 5 POLICY
ONHOMESTEADS AND DISCRETION FOR GOVERNOR

Of the lots are being cleared now an,
prepared for pineapples.
Olson: When you say that they art
being cleared and being prepared FOL
pineapples, what does that involve?
Aiken: The lands are covered with
guava and high grass. and this. has
to be cleared off before they car
plant the pineapples. 1t costs any
where from $40 to $40 an acre Il
clear the lands.
To what extent is that clearing go
Ing on?
The majority Of the lots are being
cleared.
How recently have these lots been
taken up on Maui?
AS late rs February.
We're they all taken up tn Febru-
arx7
No. three were taken up last July,
or the first part of August.
Olson: OF this year?
Aiken: No; last year.
None have been taken up since
February?
No; none since February.
You say that there are ten houses
that you can see being built there.
What do you consider the least value
Of these houses?
Aiken: Well, should say nothing
costing under $500 or 500.
Here Mr.. Olson asked Mr. Aiken
several questions relative to what is
known as subsistence farming, and If
such thing were being done by the
Portuguese in the Kaupakalua tract.
Olson: This man Nelson Koloa,
where does he reside?
Aiken: Below Haiku.
What kind of community lives
there2
Just a little village.
What is he doing there?
Well, his chief occupation seems to
be a walking delegate for the Demo
cratic party lately.
Olson: That is all, Mr. Aiken.
Aiken's Ideas.
Aiken: / would like to say, Mr..
Secretary, that at the time the prop.
osition was made to change the land
law, the commission came around get,
ting opinions from the people. Twas
very much opposed to the change pro-
posed in the Organic Act. feel that

that you have in the States.

Olson Mr.. Krauss, one Of the
Haiku homesteaders Is In Honolulu
nov, and he might be able to throw
some light on the subject.
/ Fisher: Is he In the room nov?
Fisher: Do you know anything
about his house?
| Aiken: He has very nice little
| bungalow.
! Fisher: Has he borrowed on tt?
Yes he has borrowed from the Wal
luku bank, about $500. !.
What security has the bank
His crop and his land.
Helping the Homesteaders.
Frear:: The question has arisen
during the last two years, under the
amendments to the Organic Act. how
to assist the homesteader In finaile-
ing his homesteads; consequently q
good deal of attention has been given
to that subject. For instance, the
sugar plantations have to make adj
vances to planters raising cane and
pineapple canneries to pineapple rails
ers. And the banks, we hope, will
advance moneys. Now we want to
enable them to do this and secure
them; and at the same time not run
the risk of having the homestead go
over to corporation, SO we do 1t In
this way: we limit the amount of
security which they can give. We
might consent to the mortgage of q
single crop or of one crop and q ra-
toon; then in some cases We allow
them to mortgage their land also.
Then in order to protect the mort
gagee, he is allowed to enter and cul-
tivate the crop Il the homesteader
does not. In the case of foreclosure
of the land the sale shall not be made
to any alien, any corporation or any
private citizen who already has q
large amount of land (incfuding that
which he obtains by fOfecioslre1
amounting to more than so acres.
Ashford: Might ask the Cover
nor this point?
Fisher: Certainly.
Ashford: That Is also discra
tionary matter, is it not. whether the
Commissioner will consent TO any of
fetal transaction of that kind?
Frear Yes, certainly.
Fisher: Why should not that bel
given to the homesteader as an abso-
lutte right, Governor?
Frear: When / argued this bill be
fore the House Committee in Wash
ington | put 1t up as an alternate.
Fisher: Did you ever express any
preference as to which plan they
should adopt?
Frear:: ! think did.
Fisher: Before what Committee Of
Congress did you make this state
ment?
Frear: Before the House Commit.

Well, we are just starting in; have
not loaned over 500 or $500 to any

be borrowing more money than that.
Aiken: Some of them have capf
tai af their own.
Fisher: Where does the man who
is borrowing a couple of thousand of
dollars where are they getting the
money?
Aiken: From the banks, usually.
Governor Frear: Under the old
law in certain places only, when a
homesteader threw up his lot he
might go over to the other side Of
the world and then the government
in readvertising that land would
have the improvements appraised
separately; and the incoming home
steader would have to pay the entire
value of those improvements at the
outset; and the government would
then have to deposit the amount paiuI
for those improvements In special
fund and keep 1t there until the old
homesteader turned up. Under the
amendments to this law, man whenl
he wants to get back the value Of. his
improvements has to find another
purchaser himself. When a man
surrenders his lot another man app
plies for 1t and purchases it. That
is my construction of the land laws,
except contracts. made under the old
laws-we are still carrying those on.
Fisher: Do you understand it that
way, Mr.. Ashford?
Ashford: ! have not given the
much attention.

has been that the change in the Or
ganic Act has not been of advantage,
for under the old law the government
was allowed to use a little discretion
as to who. should have the lands,
which was the only safety the Ter
ritory had to secure the kind of set
tiers It desired. Now that little pow
er of discretion has been taken away
and the government forced to open up
the lands to homesteaders when %
people, of whatever kind, make appli-
cation, whether they be desirable or
not.
Fisher: You are in favor of GER

Aiken: / most certainly am. If we
had a land board, where the appli-
cant for the land must appear before
the board and satisfy them that he is

lands should be homesteaded.
