COUPLE OF GOOD
) SOCCER CONTESTS

Two games of soccer were play
ed Saturday afternoon on the High
School athletic field, and they fur
nished plenty of excitement for
the large crowd of spectators, The
games were scheduled to begin at
200 but it was after before the
visiting teams put in all appear
ance. On account of the delay
many people had to leave during
the second game, and they missed
a game we'll worth seeing. 1t is
expected that future games will be
started promptly,
The first game called was be-
tween High School and Eleele.
The visitors PLAYED a strong de-
tensive game and kicked out of
many hard places. Their offensive
was not strong and only once did
they seriously threaten h e +
opponents goal. The local tearu
showed flashes of good soccer, and
carried the ball we'll into the
enemy's territory, but they were
weak in following the ball and
placing their kicks when near the
goal The game ended with one
goal scored by the locals.
Lihue and Koloa then took the
field. Llhue started off by rush
ing the ball down the field and
putting Koloa on the defensive.
The Koloa boys defended we'll and
there was lots of excitement among
the rooters when Koloa finally got
the ball out of her penalty area
and took the offensive. The Lihue
boys had hard, work to keep the
attackers from scoring several
kicks just missed the goal posts by
inches.
Lihue succeeded in scoring near
the end of the second half and that
ended the scoring.
All the teams are very evenly
matched this year on account OF
the light team entered by the Hig h
School. The scores have been un-
usually close and the playing is
much superior to that of last year
Wednesday of this week Lihue
and High School play at the High
School and KOloa and Eleele play
at Eleele, Next Saturday there
will be games at the High school
grounds between all the teams Of

ACQU|TTAL FOR

Andrew Halalu. the Young Ha-

Gently brought back from Seattle
to face trial on a serious statut ory
charge, was tried in the Circuit
Court last week, following which
a verdict of not guilty was brought
in.
The complaining witness was a
Chinese girl, aged about Is or IA
The morning after the assault was
alleged to have been committed
Halalu shipped in a sailing vessel
from Port Allen, landing on the
Pacific northWes coast, from
whence he was returned in custody
of Deputy Sheriff w. O. Crowell
of Waimca, who went there for
that purpose.
In the court the prosecution
seemed unable to produce direct
evidence save that of the complain
ing witness, which was evidently
not regarded by the jury as sufli-
Cient.
A great deal of interest had been
taken in this case, particularly by
the Hawaiians and Chinese,

THE FATAL SPREE
OF A PORTO R|CAN

Last Wednesday afternoon a Ha-
wailan named ADela, while walk
ing along near the Kealia stream,
at Kapahi, discovered / badly de-
composed body floating in the wa
ter. The police were notified and
the remains taken in charge. A
coroner's jury was empanelled and
tried for three days to establish
the identity Of the corpse without
avail. 1t was finally proved quite
conclusively, however, that the re-
mains were those of Mateo, a Por-
to Rican.
Following up the case it was
found that Mateo had been paid
some money for labor and straight
way proceeded to get intoxicated
He had qnite evidently tried to
cross the stream above kapahi and
being too drunk to navigate, fell
in.
Just what day all that happened
however, it was impossible to de-
termine. 1t seems likely, from the
appearance of the corpse, that ii
was at least a week ago.

MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY
Having No Necessity to Use Wings
TO Escape Enemies, Those Mem
bers Ceased to Develop.

OF the 20 kinds Of birds existing in
New Zealand, 80 are found nowhere
else, and of this number by far the
larger portion is fligbtless; this. no
doubt, owing to the fact that for ages,
ever since the sea swallowed up con-.
tinent, leaving only the islands COM
prising the present Dominion of New
Zealand, there have been no destruc-
tive carniyora in the land, except those
small ones imported recently to aid in
3abating the rabbit pest, and, having no
enemies the birds also had no use for
wings, which ceased to develop, and MS
years rolled by left many species with
only little nubbins for wings and abb
solutely without power Of flight.
Centuries ago there were in exist
ence at least three varieties Of gigan-
tic birds, two Of which were us large
In body as the tabled roc, the rescuer
of Sinbad the sailor. These included
the Hapagornis, the Dinornis or Moa
and the Cnemiornis, which was gi-
gantic goose. The Moa became ex-
tinct some 500 years ago. It was a
flightless bird, said by tradition to
have been a hunter Of humans, man
eater, was Of varying size and ex-
Stremely plentiful.

REFUSED TO Be CONFINED
honeysuckle Escaped From Formal
Gardens and Parks to Bestow
lie Fragrance on All.

Years ago Japan sent to this coun-
try a vigorous green vine which won
favor through its lavish display Of
fragrant white flowers In late spring.
For time the vine and flowers were
kept within the bounds Of gardens,
lawns and parks. Then It ran away.
Today you'll find 1t roaming along the
roadside, climbing stumps and hedges.
1t needs no gardener, the Philadel-
phia North American says, for It can
take care Of itself. It Is the honey
suckle.
away Joined some Of Its American
cousins, who are just as pretty and as
fragrant. There's the coral honey
suckle, for example, famous porch
climber in the Southern states, with
trumpet-shaped flowers, red outside
and scarlet within. In England they
have the woodbinea cream-colored,
fragrant relative Of the honeysuckle.
Recently there came a new variety
from China. where it was found on the
tops of mountains 5000 feet above
the sea. Its foliage is almost ever
green, and the flowers are reddish
bronze. Another variety has red
flowers, with yellow and bun mark

There's no need to hunt for the
honeysuckle. Its fragrance will an

PAINFUL END TO JOY RIDE
Unfortunate Happening Caused Driver
to Think Of Resigning From the
Optimists' Club.

How d member Of the Optlmists'
club got into most disagreeable COM
pany which made him feel the reverse
Of optimistic, is being quietly told. The
optimist has an automobile and invited
his best girl out for ride. It was q
most pleasant ride for time on the
roads south of city limits. A cool
breeze was blowing, the auto seemed
to be the only one travelling in those
parts. 1t was dark and the optimist
had plenty of opportunity to squeeze
the hand of his girl and to bestow a
gentle kiss now and then when the
road was straight. Sometimes there
would be sharp curve, however, and
then the optimist would have to devote
his whole attention to the machine.
On one occasion the optimist divided
his attention, with dire results. His
subconsciousness told him that there
was curve ahead. He guided the
machine gracefully around the curve
when he noticed he had passed a fence
post on either side where farm gate
was ajar. Before he could put on
the emergency brake there was a
crash. and then most alarming cho-
rus Of squeals. The auto had run
-squarely into n pigpen, and the pork
ers cried aloud in their alarm. The
fat swine jolted and rubbed against
the machine in their fright, and when
the cOmmotion was at Its height an
angry farmer reached the scene and
wanted to know "what In the heck"
the optimist was doing in his pigpen.
As he silently drove back to town with
battered machine and lightened
pocketb0Ok, furrowed look of pes
simism could have been seen on the
face OF the optimist II it had not been
SO dark. Indianapolis News.

A corporal wounded ut Eparges had
been treated for peritonitis and then
had been operated on for appendic itis.
He continued to suffer In various
ways for more than a year, when a
radioscope revealed the pressure Of a
shrapnel ball, moving in time to the
beatings of his heart. Supposing this
to be in the pericardium or sac about
the heart. Doctor Beaussenat went
in" as the surgeons say, and saw that
the ball was actually In the right ven
,tricle, near the lower end.
The heart was drawn out; its wall
was cut open between two loops Of
wire; the ball was removed and the
heart was sewn up again. Six months
later the heart had healed SO perfectly
that there was not sign Of irregu-
larity about its pulsations.
