KITE flying IS in
FULL swing

Big kites and little kites; kites OF
every shape and color, are sailing IL
the breeze at Mills Institute, Manoa
Valley, this afternoon, the occasion
being the third annual Kite Day which
is now observed each year by the
students of that institution. The
event began at two o'clock and VIII
continue until five o'clock.
The program of the afternoon con-
sists of variety of contests In which
more than seventy-five kites. each
owned by a student. have been enter
ed. The contests will determine the
winners of prizes for beauty, unique
ness, distance and fighting qualities
of the paper birds Twenty minutes
time will be allotted for the distance
contest, at the end of which he kits
will be drawn in. Last year, the win
ner of this contest had out more than
5000 feet of strong.
The fight contest between the kites
is perhaps the most interesting. For
this contest at least 100 yards of
string must be let out and the one
which brings down the most kites will
be declared the winner. Half an
hours time is given for THIS stunt.
Those winning in the various con-
tests will have their names engraved
on koa shield which is to be kept at
the school The Chinese, Japanese,
Korean and Filipino students have
shown the greatest interes; in the
contest and have been at work for
weeks in making and trying out their
kites.

millions of gallons daily consumed rep
resent not more than cne-half OF the
supply
There Is no need for a water famine
in Honolulu. There is no need for
water to be scarce or to be dear.
There is plenty of water and the prob
lem Is how to bring it 20 the people
of Honolulu.
BY Act so of the legislature of 1918.
the county act was amended so that
The supervisors are empowered to take
over from the territory the existing
waterworks systems, including water
rights pipe lines and other appurte-
nances,. and to enlarge, develop and
improve the same.
The problem of a municipal water
supply is no longer territorial prob
lem, and the people of this city will
have to settle it. The future improve
ment of the water system rests with
the taxpayers of Honolulu. s

BOYS GLEE CLUB
DRAWS ALARGE
ATTENDANCE

More than three hundred students
and members of the faculty of the
Kamehamella schools gathered in
Bishop Hail last evening to attend
the first concert of the Kamehameha
Boys Glee Club. The event was a
rare musical treat and the members
of the organization are to be con-
graduated upon the success of their
initial appearance.
The program was in three parts,
the first consisting of medleys, the
second number of popular college
songs. Several solos were rendered
during the second part, Peter Enoka,
who possesses an excellent tenor
voice, being forced to respond to sew
eral encores. Inc hit of the evening,
however. came during the third part
of the program which took the form
of Hawaiian songs to the accompani-
ment of guitar and ukulele. All
these songs were exceptionally well
rendered and should be the feature
of the program which will be given
by the members of the club at the
second appearance at the Y. NJ. c. A.
next Saturday evening.
The glee club is under the leader
ship of G.. A. Andrews, who is taking
a great deal of pains in making the
next concert successful one. The
personnel of the club follows:
First Tenor-Geo. A. Andrus, James
Hobbs. William Kama. Alexander Ka-
lapihuia, Frank Kalani, James Pau

From the above statement it will be
noticed that there is a vast waste OF
water in Nuuanu Valley below the
dams.
Honolulu's daily consumption, &C.
cording to the latest available est.
mates, is approximately 1887. 900 gal.
Ions per "a hours.
In other words, there is now going
to waste in surface water at these
six stations alone half the amount OF
water needed for the city's daily sup
ply for all purposes.
No difficult engineering feat. say the
experts, is necessary to double the
available water supply. 1t lie simply a
question of utilizing the water now
running into the sea from surface and
artesian sources.
There Is at least as much water
running to waste in and around Homo.

OF addresses upon the Old Testament

his sacrifice for his friends; all these
things have set standard of morality

What were the elements in Abraham's

ments on Alakea street CT and be-
low King street, found that approx
mateiy three million five hundred
thousand gallons Of water daily ar
tesian water were going TO waste
from two Honolulu plants, tne Ha-
waiian Electric company and the A.
exander Young Hotel.
The two experts who made the tests
were q. X. harrison, district engineer
OF the water resources branch of the
u. s. geological survey in this terri
tory, and Thomas F. Sedgwick, stats
tician Of the department Of public
works and a recognized authority on
artesian and other water supply.
Facts speak louder inan words
The Star Bulletin Is enabled to pre-
sent herewith the data as to waste
water from these two establishments
water that is waster not because il
Is unfit for use, but because no privi-
sion has been made for preventing
this waste. Here are the results Of
the estimates made of water flowing
10 the sea from the Young Hotel and
the Hawaiian Electric Company:
Corner Alakea and King streets, in
pipe from Young Hotel, discharge
equals $4,000 gallons per day.
Corner Alakea and Merchant
streets. above intake, pipe from west
Merchant street. discharge $4,000
gallons. per day.
Corner Alakea and Queen streets,
discharge equals 39O,00o gallons per
day. (Note-Loss of about 10000 gal
Ions between this point and corner Of
Alakea and Merchant 3treets)
AT manhole opposite Hawaiian
Electric plant, discharge equals g.
100000 gallons per day.
Corner Alakea and Ala Moana
streets, at manhole about $50 feet
north of outlet into bay, discharge
equals about 3,4S0,0O0 gallons per
day.
From the above ii may be deduced
that between S:45 and 1925 a. m,
April 4, 1913. the artesian we'll at the
Alexander Young Hotel was wasting
about 100000 gallons per day, and the
Hawaiian Electric Company was
wasting about 100000 gallons per
day.
"1he first measurement made at
corner of Alakea and King streets
was very approximate on account of
pulsating velocity in the pipe. All
other results should be considered with
an error Of not mere than 10 per
cent"
G.. X. HARRISON,
District Engineer.

-ticed, are taken practically at one
point In the city. The Star-Bulletin
expects later to present figures Civ

tesian wells elsewhere In the city
where the water is being wasted for
domestic and irrigating purposes.
AS to the waste of water, there is

by the governor under authority Of

King Leopold Of Belgium frequented
n certain cafe in Paris when he was In
the city. He had private apartments
on the second floor. where he had his
meals served for him.
One night he went to his cafe. but
was met by the manager, who told
him in great %trepidation that he could
not have his private dining room that
night.
Leopold raised a frightful rumpus.
He was king Of the Belgians. and he
demanded to know who could keep
him out of the room. Presently a
voice came from behind the door,
"Who is that making such a row out
there"
The manager explained.
"Oh," said the voice. "let him come

VENUS De MILO.
Tho Mystery Of tho Missing Arms Of
tho Famous Statue.

the Famous Statue.
Through the publication OF some
quaint manuscripts which have
before been printed Jean Aicard. the
French academician and man of let
ters, produces evidence that the arms
of the Venus de Milo were broken Oft
in a fight between French and Turkish
forces for possession Of the figure.
Both arms, according to the manu-
scripts. were In place when the statue
was first discovered in 1920. The right
arm descended n little below the hips,
where it held up the draperies. while
the left arm was raised above the head
and grasped in the hand a small
sphere.
The documents published by NJ. Al
card claim that French naval officers.
who were the first Europeans to see
the Venus and who were authorized by
their government to buy it at any cost,
obtained the prize only at the cost OF a
sharp scrimmage with the crew OF a
Turkish brig, the commander Of which
had been instructed by a Greek prince
ut Constantinople to bring the statue to
him. In the struggle. in which fifty
sailors took part IN each side and IN
which shots and sabcr cuts were freely
exchanged, the goddess was thrown to
the ground. and her ans were broken
In pieces.-London Graphic.
