virtue of the reason given below
The telegram is as follows:
I Nashville, Tenn, November Is, 1917
| nj. A. Walker,

Your country needs a bio honest,
upright man whom his people trust,

ton you have been chosen. Your
duty will be to have charge of the
coal situation in your county, to see
that none suffer, and to have the re-
tail prices conform to government
requirements. You can appoint as
many to assist you as you deem wise.
No one viii get any pay beyond the
sacred satisfaction of doing his duty
in the nation S hour of need. Wire
me your acceptance Immediately, col

WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH
ALL CONFISCATED WHISKEY

A dispatch from Nashville to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, under
date of December 6, says:
'Instead Of destroying the great
quantities of alcoholic liquors which
come into the possession Of officers
Of the law in enforcing the prohibit
ton laws, the United States govern
ment requests that these liquors be
turned over to the War Department
for Redistribution to secure the pure
alcohol. The War Department is in
need Of alcohol, and it is believed a
great amount can be secured by re-
distillation of the confscated bever-
age.
in a great many counties of the
state it has been the custom of some
officers to pour the intoxicants into
streams, but in others, the captured
goods" are stored in the courthouse
or warehouses.
''In Nashville, Memphis and other
large cities there has been great
amount of alcoholic liquors confs-
Gated in the past few months, and
Acting Sheriff Allen recently gave
out statement that showed that he
had enough LIQUOR on hand to stock
a Mississippi River steamboat in war
times. Chairman Smith, of the State
Council Of Defense has received from
the War Department a request that
he ask the cooperation of the au-
thorities in this state in this matter
of recovering alcohol. Chairman
Smith Thursday addressed letter to
all the district attorneys general of
the state. requesting that they coop
crate in the matter"

Girls Swimming Given Biz
Impetus By Champions Visit
Interest in That Sport Aroused BY Presence of National Champ
ions in sands-Grs Meet at Y NJ c. A. Follows Increased
Attention to This ExerCse-Competton to Be Greater

in which girls teams from all over
the city will compete-and what It
more they will compete under the
auspices of the A. A. U.
More Girls Interested
This means another big boost for
the sport for this reason-it is going
to bring into competition a large
group of girls who do not care to
enter special races in a meet meant
primarily for men-a group of girls
who can swim and who are going to
make records that will count. Fur.
thermore the records in these meets
are going to stimulate more compe-
tition. There will be more meets
held and more girls will practise and
more girls will enter them.
The sport will become more firmly
established than ever before in this
meet that is being planned now. 1t is
going to mean lot for girls athletics
in Hawaii
And what is responsible for this
advance in sport more than anything
else is the appearance of these
world champions in our own waters.
1t is so with any sport
1t has paid to bring these persons
here and the little group of workers
who agitated to import the swimmers
and who are now campaigning for
a naturalization of the enthusiasm
for swimming right now deserve a
heap of credit.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-09-22

With the announcement that the
girls swimming meet to be held next
month at the Y. NJ. c. A. tank will
be directed according to the rules of
the A. A. u, that the prescribed dis
tances will be swum, and that the
swimmers must all be certified anna
tours, there comes the assurance that
this. branch of girls athletics has not
only come to stay, but is going to
cut a considerably larger figure in
the world of sport in the future.
Girls athletics are a comparative
ly recent thing, but they are fast
coming to the front. And one thing
that is probably more responsible for
the popularizing of the feminine sport
is the attitude of the sporting pages
of the country. This is especially
true of swimming in which the cham
pions have literally been made the
center of sport interest in many cit
les.
Write Special Articles
In San Francisco papers, the three
women swimmers who visited the is
lands have received no end of no.
tice. Both Frances Cowells and Claire
Galligan have been writing special ar.
ticles for the Bulletin concerning their
swimming. They have received strik-
ing prominence in the papers, and
have undoubtedly been widely read.
Since the arrival of these girls in
Honolulu notice how much this sport
has advanced. Before the meet on
Labor Day Punahou academy would
have meets within the walls of its
little tank, Palama you'd have meets,
the Y. w. c. A. had swimming classes
and the girls of the Outrigger There
were girls swimming races in the big
meets, but no town competitive swim
ming to amount to anything.
Then the swimmers came here and
there was a meet in Palama-it was
the original intention to hold it in the
Y. NJ. c. A. tank. Now the efforts Of
the boosters of girls swimming in
Honolulu have assured US that q
meet will be held in the Y. NJ. C. A.
