"Vollmer, LANCER, Cam" These
three names viii be household words
for the next three weeks In Hawaii.
Even the busy men Of the organiza-
tons around the city are beginning to
wake up and think that alter all this

thing in Hawaii. II is the one topic
Of interest here, and should be. as

In the swimming events on the har-
Dor against the best in Hawaii there

Kahanamoku, better known than any
other resident of the islands. He is

brought fame to Hawaii, and there
are others coming who will do the

Ask any businessman in the East
about Duke Kahanamoku and he will

Many Interested.
There have been q number of citi-
zens Of Honolulu who have backed
the swimming game here and have
worked hard to make it big success,
while others who have gained as
much by the publicity that swimming
has brought Hawaii have failed to-
! show an interest, and many men hold
ing offices In prominent organizations
have never attended q swimming
meet.
This Is being remedied from time
to time; and Il Is expected that when
the events are staged on the harbor
that all Honolulu will turn out to wit
ness the greatest swimming carnival
ever staged here. There win be no
question about the worth of the meet
II Is more than. worth while to wit
ness a 220-yard swim with Duke, Gun.
