CHOWDER And Dance ATNEXT
FULL MOON WILL MARK new
development OF OUTRIGGER

The idea Of the Outrigger Club was
born in the brain Of a malihini-in
Hawaii they call a stranger mali
hini
One day pair Of malihinis walked
along little stretch Of beach at Wal
! kiki and lamented the fact that the
great hotels and palatial villas Of the
rich had SO encroached that practically
there was no public entrance to one OF
the most famous beaches in the world
The two malihfnis looked out on
the sea where there were three boys
riding en- their surfboards. They ask.
ed If IL were possible for them to learn
the art OF standing on the waves on
these chips Of wood and were told that
it must be learned in childhood. One
CT the malihinis. man of 40, proved
doubling Thomas and induced the
three youngsters to show him the way
on board out to the big breakers. In
six weeks OF hard work, eight hours a
day, he mastered the art of standing
and riding on the Hawaiian surf-board.
Furthermore, he discovered that by
being shown the trick of starting and
guiding the board, novice could learn
how to master the surf in a few les
sons. lie observed. however. that the
beach was practically closed to the
small boy Of Hawaii who would not
afford the daily bath house free.
Howl Of RidIeule Went Up.
why not organize surf-board
club" he said to scme of the young
men and boys who were expert surf
beard riders, land secure place on
the beach on which to build
"a clubhouse for those who
wish to learn to ride the
surf-board?@ There was a general
howl Of ridicule at the idea of any
one, malihini least Of all. securing a
bit OF property facing Waikiki beach;
but the malihini didn't see things just
this way. He found out that one Of
the leases for an acre and a half
Of ground would soon expire. This
acre and half faced the sea between
the two great Waikiki hotels and was
the property OF the Queen Emma Es-
tate. Here, on these grounds, in years
gone by, Kamehameha the Great had
landed with his war canoes the war
riors who conquered the island of
Oahu Here Queen Emma had learned
to ride the surf-board. Here was
built for her one Of the old native
grass houses and daily with her re-
tainer she would go out as child to
the big surf and come in standing on
her board. 1t was the most historic
bit of ground in Honolulu and the
trustees CT the estate expressed will
ingness to turn over the property to
club that would perpetuate the Ha-
waiian water sports of which Queen
Emma had been SO fond.

the United States generally reflected
the opinion that they were excessive
and that Japan was trying to grab

think there would be very small market for this article
The fact however that there nine million colored

Some of the big advertisers today are using as their
subjects the familiar figures of the railroad world the

direct appeal that ground. But such characters
when used in advertisement, have direct appeal to
all those who interested in the railroad industry and

the United States you what great popuaee YOU

percentage of the total buyers But hghgrade statistics
will give you the truth of the matter which is that there
FIVE million who make their living in the iron and
steel industry of the United States.
There probably more farm statistics than any
other kind of official figures These will be of help in
almost any kind of advertising problem As an example,
if you advertising stump puer, where would your

lands comprise nearly 10000 improved acres as against

among the factory workers who would like to take

the market Instead of the prospects being compare

the entire advertising method underwent tranforna-

That has been the history of many marketing prob

often resulted in the widening of the market and the de

Thus IL was that for a nominal sum
this valuable piece OF property was
turned over to the malihini. on the
condition that he organize club that
would make ii easily possible during
the 20 years OF the lease for every
grown person and youngster in Hawaii
to learn to become an adept In the art
OF guiding Hawaiian outrigger canoes
and riding en- the surfboard.
Began With 100 Members.
The Outrigger Canoe Club sprang
into existence with 100 members and
within a few months more young peo-
pie were riding the surf-board and
steering canoes than had ever done
so since the days Of the landing OF
Kamehameha's fleet To the astonish-
ment of the people Of Hawaii it was
found that not only could men of all
ages quickly learn the art of riding
the sprf-board, but that even young
girls and women rapidly picked up the
accomplishment.
I That first summer CT 1908 the club
was in full swing and the requirements
OF giving the grounds Hawaiian eff
feet were carried out There were
two real Hawaiian grass houses on the
island Of Oahu that had been built
with all the ceremonies attendant on
the construction of such buildings by
the Hawaiians. The posts were OF
real ohia wood dashed together with
grass ropes, the walls were lined with
pandamus leaves and the whole thatch-
ed with the real pill grass used by Ha-
waiian chiefs on their buildings.
Those houses were secured and
moved to the grounds of the Outrigger
Club. Rules were made forbidding
the harboring in the grounds of any
kind of craft other than real outrigger
canoes. Once year the native Ha-
waiian canoeists of the islah@ we're
invited to make the Outrigger grounds
their homes for several days Old Ha-
waiian sports of every kind were re-
yiyed and it was a unique sight even
to the people of Honolulu to see crews
of native women in sailing and pad
ding canoe races. On the grounds
from so to 100 Hawaiians lived in ma
i've style in the grass houses, the wo
men pounding taro into poi, the men
baking pigs in linus, or underground
ovens, and everything proceeding as
1t did In the days when Kamehameha
landed on this spot.
Women Became Interested.
The club grew in influence and Inn
portance and soon became an institu-
ticn. 1t now became necessary to in
terest the gentler sex. "A grass bath
house was built and part of the
grounds set apart exclusively for
women's auxiliary, which soon
numbered 40 members. The hau
trees we're lacked up on CO
coanut posts and trellises and
formed into splendid outing places
for picnics and parties. In the great
wide lagoon adjoining the Outrigger
grounds was built big matched dane
ing pavilion or lanai. In everything
the Hawaiian effect was maintained.
Through the courtesy of Frank
Clark of around-the-world-cruise fame,
magnificent silver trophies for the
best boy and girl surfboard riders and
canoe surfists were offered as an en-
enlargement to those who would be-

proceeds of a single entertainment is
all that is necessary to prevent the
club from establishing the precedent
of borrowing money, and it is expect
ed that the great moonlight dance and
cnowder next month will be recorded
as one Of the monumental entertain
ments given in Hawaii. With the 9TH
er desired improvements made on the
Outrigger grounds, it is hoped and be-
lieved that the younger element will
once more come to the front in the
development of surfing sports and
carnivals.
The 0utrigger Club has, from its
inception, been one of the great pro-
motion assets of the Hawaiian Islapds.
1t was through its initial efforts that
the, A. A. u. in Hawaii was organized,
and the islands have much to be proud
of in the direct and indirect accom-
plishments of the Outrigger Canoe
Club at Waikiki.

come adept In these sports
The waters Of Hawaii remain, at
about rs to IS degrees OF warmth the
year around. II is in summer, how
ever. when the school children have
their vacation, that the waters Of the
bay are crowded with canoes and
surfboards and the grounds with
merrymakers. On the grounds the
boys make their own surfboards and
the paddles with which they guide
the canoes before the great rollers.
Here too they fashion the outriggers
and lash them to the canoes Once
more the old Hawaiian sports are be-
ing revived and bid fair to excel in
every way anything accomplished in
the days of old.
Has Helped Save Lives.
The revival of the surfboard has
have been saved in the surf through
the use Of the board. One member Of
the Outrigger Club has saved as many
as eight human lives, all with the use
of the surfboard. The surfboard can
be propelled through the water very
much faster than anyone can swim
1t cuts through the incoming waves
and quickly reaches anyone in trouble
in the big surf. The drowning man
is placed on the board and the board
showed toward the shore.
There Is also the esthetic side to
the Outrigger Canoe Club. There are
occasions when scores Of canoes are
beautifully decorated with lanterns
md night water carnival prepared
for the delectation of the members
ashore. Not only that, but some of
the youngsters have learned the
secret of touching on red fire on the
tips of their boards just as they catch
the wave and their Illuminated figures
are seen in outline on the feaming
crest.
Perhaps one Hawaiian sport that
the club has done least to revive has
been that of native fishing. Still there
are members of the club who do some
times go far out to sea in their canoes
and spear the multi-colored fish that
swarm in Hawaiian waters. The usu.
al method Is to take a -bottomed
box and a twenty-foot spear. The edge
Of the box Is held in the teeth by the
swimmer and the spear In the right
hand. As the fish is seen twenty or,
thirty feet below, the spearman aims
his spear and pierces the fish. That
is how 1t is done in the day time.
There are probably as many canoes
in the Club grounds at Waikiki as
there are outside of the grounds on
the entire island of Oahu. There are
three canoes, however, not on the club
grounds, but down at Pearl Harbor,
that the club envies and which have
been promised. Two Of these canoes
are 20 feet in length and it takes IA
paddiers at least to manseither one OF
them. These are the two largest OF
the old native cRnoes left on the
islands, and it is the intention of the
club to keep them as state canoes for
distinguished visitors who come to
Hawaii The club will also make a
collection of Polynesian canoes from.
all around the Pacific; in fact, a start
has been made in this direction.

You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad--or an uncertain
one-or harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; it's certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made 1t famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep 1t handy-get large

Much Opposition at Homo to Use Of
Neutral Flags by Merchantmen.
Correspondence Of Associated Press.
London, Feb. 14.-Following an edi-
torial on the humiliating aspect Of the
Lusitania flag incident from the view
point of British national pride, the
Daily Express, conservative in politics
and intensely British in Foley, has
asked it's readers, What Is wrong with
theu Mon jack?'
Among the replies, Sir Robert Pur-
Wis says:
"For British merchantmen to hoist
neutral colors to avoid capture by a
German armed vessel is allowable II he
thinks fit to do so. But FOR the Brit
ish government solemnly to intimate
to the mercantile marine on a Sunday
night-like news Of stricken battle
to strike the union Jack, seems un-
called for, humiliating and indecent. It
IS a step-down and also gives occas-
ion to the enemy, when we denounce
his wars, to charge US with hypocrisy
Of Mr. Pecksnif."
Another Englishman writes:
when read the other day of the
German accusation against us Of auth
orizing the use Of neutral flag to
protect our shipping, I at once called
II another German lie. Imagine my
horror, then, to find such an action has
taken place, and under the authority
