Vance Veith, the instructor of the Los

girls, says that they can beat the world in
their special lines.
The Los Angeles Athletic Club will send
the young women to the East during the

Miss Burns will compete against the best

Her leg action in the water is remark

She is training for the future am sure
that she will develop into worlds cham

Surprising Success of
Two California Girls
In Winning the
Highest Honors at
Honolulu, Where the
Girls Learn to Swim
Before They
Learn to Walk

HE charming Mid-Pacific Aquatic Car
nival just held at Honolulu, Hawaiian
Islands, proved delightful revelation
of all that is most picturesque in the life Of
the ocean isles and how to enjoy swimming
under the most perfect conditions.
The most remarkable fact, however, in
connection with the carnival, and one that
should receive nationwide attention, was
that two pretty Los Angeles girls won the
highest swimming honors at Honolulu, the
natural home of mermaids, the place where
girls and boys learn to swim before they
learn to walk, These American girls won
their honors against local natives and all
eomers.
Our mermaid champions are Dorothy
Burns aged seventeen, the Southern Cali
fornian champion water sprinter, and Mrs.
Aileen Allen, aged twenty-four, the all-Amer-
ican champion fancy diver.
At Hawaii Miss Burns shattered one Amer
lean record and established three Hawaiian
records In sprinting. In swimming the 800
yard dash for women in 3 :03 she established
a new American record. Miss Olga Dorfner
previously held the record at :03% minutes.
Miss Burns won the 50-yard race in 80 Is
seconds, breaking the Hawaiian record of
81 seconds, which was held by Ruth Stacker,
of Honolulu. She easily defeated all en-
trants in the 100-yard event, swimming the
distance in Ill 4-5, breaking the Hawaiian
record of l II As held by Miss Bernicia
Lane.
In the 50-yard event Miss Burns defeated
Cecilia Canario, Josephine Hawkins and
Rose Soares, the trio in whom the Hawaiians
pinned their faith for victory.
= Miss Burns is the daughter of G. Burns,
City Clerk of Venice, and first gained dis
tinction as an aquatic Splinter in 1913 at
Venice.
Mrs. Allen likewise won many medals at
Hawaii. She holds the American champion
ship for women for high and fancy diving.
At Honolulu Mrs Allen won great admira-
ton by giving her fancy and high dives. In
awarding the prizes the judges said that the
Pacific Ocean had never seen more wonder
full diving
Her most remarkable dives, in the order
In which the pretty young athlete gave them,
are known by these technical names:
Swan" "back. dive" "front Jack
knife, - back jack-knife - "back one and
a halt, "cutaway one and a half" "half
gamer, !" forward one and half "dou-
PIE back somersault, - hand stand over,'
hand stand dive" and ''full twist
The victories OF Miss Burns and Mrs Allen
ranked as the great features of the carnival
with the performance of Ludy LANCER. who
established new world s record in the 40
yard dash. His time was 5 1T 3-5 minutes
the former record being 5 10.
Miss Burns and Mrs. Allen complimented
the Hawaiians on the wonderful opportuni-
ties for swimming the islands possess and
the success of the carnival.
THE water is warm there, and it is great
fun to ride the Hawaiian surf boards, y the
young women said when they came home.

onolulu.
down In stately order to decorated landing,
overhung with flowers erected at the edge
of the sparkling bay. There with great
pomp and ceremony the dignitaries Of tho
island, the Territorial Government, the kings
and princes of the carnival, accompanied by
their deliberately gowned queens welcomed
them.
For six days the islands were ruled by
the carnival kings and their courts, flags
few from every housetop, Honolulu was
ahght all night with swaying lanterns and
bands played the soft, rhythmical melodies
of the islands.
The second day of the carnival was oo-
cupied by colorful passage of island his
tory, presented by sixty-eight Hawaiians,
depicting the legendary romance Of an an
cient prince of the country.
The night of this day was given over Ia
Hawaiian music. Melodies of the islands
were sung by chorus Of island voices, &C.
companied by ukuleles and guitars, and
selection of old time hulas, accompanied by
the traditional meles or chants.
The exquisite Hibiscus Show was held on
the third day. Two thousand varieties of
selected blooms of the national flower were
gathered for this display from the gardens
of the island.
The first section of the world famous SWIM
ming meet was held on the afternoon of the
third day. The events were concluded on
the last day of the carnival in a great water
pageant.
The pageant was held at night in Honolulu
Harbor. Every ship of every size and de-
scription in the harbor was brilliantly illumi-
mated and lavishly decorated with the How
ers of the island, flags and pennants, vari-
colored lanterns and wind blown bunting.
1t was then that Mis- Burns and Mrs Al
len finally established their regulations as
the champion mermaids of the Pacific Ocean.
Their successes were received with generous
applause, but the native and local mermaids
declared their intention to train for the next
carnival and fight for their laurels as the
most renowned swimmers in the world,
