J. ]. Quinn Announces That
Squad of Eight Men Have

Members of the End Infantry who
have had experience in long-distance
running have announced that they
would send a team into a relay from
Schofield to Honolulu, and much in
terest mas been taken in the event
at Shafter. This morning letter
was received from J. J.. Quinn, the
long distance star at the lst lnfan-
try. announcing that two more teams
al least would enter the event. 49,. g..
With teams from the National
Guard, Y. NJ. c. A.. Coast Artillery
posts and the squads from the regi'
ments at Schofield, enough interest
should be created to make it the big
event of the Carnival for the enlisted
men. The winner of the race will

men into the contest able to go the
distance in fairly fast time. This
will add interest to the event, as at
the present time there are three or
four teams which rank about the
same, according to some critics.
Quinn Active.
Quinn has taken hold of things in
the right way at the LIST Infantry,
while Allison is working to line up one
or two strong teams at the 1st Field
Artillery. With the help of the ath-
letic officers at the various points,
the relay race is bound to be a GER
tainty, and one worth working for.
The men of the service always
have worked with every proposition
to advance the interest of athletic life
in Honolulu, and during the Carnival
this would be big event for the
men who have helped to make ath-
leties in and around Honolulu. A
relay race isn't going to be hard to
stage. There will be no heavy ex.
pense of any kind to hinder those
who would be interested in the pro-
position, and the rivalry would nat
urally make it a big event in the
minds of the men.
If the men in charge of athletics
at Schofield and Shafter will continue
the good work that they have start.
ed in promoting this sort of athletics,
then the race is bound to be big sue.

would be the logical program for the

Sporting Editor,
Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
The proposed relay race from Scho-
field to Honolulu will no doubt be one
of the biggest attractions during the
Carnival, as it brings out not only
the best long distance runners in the
service, but from civil life also. The
distance is long enough to show the
running power of four men, and yet
not too long to hurt them.
= l have arranged to have two teams
enter from the 1st Infantry, and ex.
pect to see at least four teams en-.
ter from this regiment In regard to
Mr.. Allison of the 1st Field Artillery
saying he would like to run the full
distance alone, let his team enter
the event and beat the LIST Infantry
teams and then ! may give him
chance to show his ability in run
ming the entire distance. Everyone
will have the same opportunity to
train and there will be no necessity of
saying that they we're not in condi
ton. May the best team win.

Time and again the Englishman would

popular vote as the winner.

Whv "Pin Money!"

For long time after pins were in
vented in the fourteenth century they
were used only by the wealthy 1t
cost SO much to manufacture them
that the poor and even the middle
classes could not afford them. Each
pin was made by filing one end Of a
wire OF the proper length to a point,
and then twisting piece of finer wire
about the other end. The complete
process is said to have involved about
thirteen different operations, requir-
ing as many different persons. In 1897
Timothy Harris of England succeeded
in making the first solid-headed pin.
In 1924 an American named Wright
made a great improvement over Har.
ris' method, and in 1881 John l. Howe
Of New York city invented a machine
for making pins as we now have them.
AT one period. when pins were ex.
pensive Injuries. il was customary to
give young lady a certain amount
On her marriage for pin money" The
custom disappeared long ago, but the
term pin money" remains.

Snowsheds a Necessity.

Travellers passing through the Sierra
Nevadas during the winter are famil-
+ with the peculiar sights that follow
i heavy snowfall not accompanied
with wind, for they have seen build
ings completely buried from view, the
only indication Of their presence be-
ing mound of snow shaped like the
roof They have seen small buildings
with snow perhaps ten feet deep on
the roof, and posts with such a big
white cap that they looked like giant
mushrooms.
At numerous points snow twenty
FIVE feet deep on the level is not un-
common, and a one-story building.
buried to the caves, is a frequent
sight. This peculiar condition in the
Sierras was the cause for building the
snowsheds, which extend 80 miles
along the railway tracks between Blue
canyon and the Truckee. Without
these sheds the railroad could not be
operated, but their cost is enormous.
