Dor LHt :
The water was not rough, at least
so the residents of Kauai assured the
Congressional visitors, adding that
the usual time of landing was 2:S0 at
night. Then and there, it seems from
subsequent speeches made on Kauai
by senators and representatives, the
visitors decided to work and vote for
a breakwater appropriation for the
Garden Island. ses h..
Thursday was voted delightful. both

long line of automobiles was waiting
at the Nawiliwili dock, and the visit
ors were taken for drives in the inte-
rior before lunch, most of the parties
being taken first to Wailua Falls.
Luncheon was served at Niumalu, the
beach home of Representative ]. II.

been erected on the beautiful grounds,
and about 400 people were served to
the accompaniment of Hawaiian mu-
sic. After lunch a swimming exhibit
tion was given in Niumalu River by
Duke Kahanamoku.
The afternoon was spent in making
automobile trips to the lee side of the
island, Koloa, Laval, Homestead, Ele.

There is only one way for this
territory to secure a larger slice Of
the proposed federal appropriation Of
$25,000,000 for rural roads, and that
is to make haste and extend your rural
free delivery system" declares Rep
resentatiVe james s. Davenport Of
Oklahoma, member OF the house
committee on roads.
Our appropriation bill, which was
killed by the senate at the last ses.
sion of Congress, will be pressed
again, and have every hope Of sue
cess It is a queer condition Of af.
fairs when we spend hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars each year on the army,
the navy, and on rivers and harbofs,
but put not a penny of government
money into the roads which are used
by federal employees delivering mail.
1.-The appropriation will be divided
among all Of the states and territories
on basis Of the mileage In each
which Is served by rural free delivery.
The money is designed to be used
only to- those portions OF the rural
highways over which the mail carriers
travel, but win, in HawaiPs case for
instance, release a large sum Of the
territorial fund for other road work

share OF the SIS, 900, 900 at about $780,.

Big Island Hosts Win Sincerest
Appreciation of Official
Visitors
(By a Stan Correspondent

Thy stan correspondent
II there is a place Of interest or
beauty In or around Hilo which the
members OF the congressional party
did not see during their two-day stay
in that city, the fault lies with the
visitors. not with the hosts OF the big
port on the Big Island.
All day Tuesday automobiles.
chugged and churned around the oval
in front Of the Hilo hotel, and as
quickly as one party was brought
hack from a sight seeing drive, the
car was Immediately filed with other
visitors.
Trips to the Puma district, Rainbow
Falls, Kaumana Caves. Cocoanut
Island. Onomea Arch-trips to places
in the city or miles away were man
aged by the delighted visitors In the
intervals between seeing the corner
stone Of the new federal building LAID,
visiting the breakwater. and attending
garden party at the Seaside Club.
The intermittent rains OF the morn
ing stopped soon after the noon hour.
and the afternoon was cloudy but dry
with the trades blowing briskly, which
made the surf on the rocks around the
Seaside Club a magnificent spectacle.
A stage had been erected In the gar.
dens Of the club. fronting the sea, and
while the guests sat at scattered
tables under the palms, japanese
dances were performed by IL OF Hilo's
most attractive geisha girls. There
were also several sword dances and
saber fights. E.-..
The stage and the gardens were
gay with Japanese lanterns, the Stars
and Stripes, and the Japanese flag.
Tea was served by large number OF
young Japanese girls from the Hilo
public schools, all CARRIED in gorgeous
kimonos. -
The public, reception and dance CIV.

lasted from o'clock until after mid.
night, practically all Of the congress
sional visitors attending. The decora-
tons In the building were even more
elaborate than on the previous evening
at the time Of the public meeting. the
floor was in splendid condition. the
music good. and there was an abppd-
ance OF various cooling punches

A feature of the evening was q VIZ

KUHl0 USES RABBIT-FooT
ON SOME HIGH OFFICIALS

Delegate Kuhio undoubtedly has a
potent rabbit foot or some other
charm" declared J. l.. Burnett of Ala
bama, discussing the new 100000 fed
eral building for Hilo, construction
work on which is now we'll under way.
Il was a member of the public build
ings and grounds committee long ago
when the Hilo building matter was
first preached. and HawaiPs delegate
had no easy time getting the authori-
cation necessary. But he used that
rabbit foot. and the thing went
through. &c.,.
in those d8ys Mr.. Cannon was
sneaker OF the house, and his permits
sion was necessary before we could
get a bill up. Kuhio again used his
rabbit foot, this time on Mr.. Cannon,
and / think he must have used it even
more recently, for many other appro-
priations were made before this for
Hilo. and the work on those other
buildings is not yet under way.
I'D like to have thst talisman for
a little while and use il on the inspec-
tion and architects officials at Wash
ington, in order to hurry along a few
buildings am interested in"
Il wonder he has not used that rab'
hit foot at Honolulu" interrupted I'm
Gle joe Cannon, who had been an in.
terested listener. "Perhaps it works
only where there Is harmony among
the citizens concerning the site of the
proposed building" and the ex-speakeI
of the house bit grimly into the tip
of a new and very black cigar.
