MRS. MYRTLE STUMPF, Consid-
III cred 20 be the leading authority
on steel guitar music on the
mainland, intends to publish a number
Of selections written in Hawaii. She
came here for one week 10 study
musical conditions, and has extended
her stay for more than one month.
Hawaii is truly a musical land"
said Mrs. Stumpf today when asked
regarding her work. One feels like
trying to pick the music from the
trees here. The sea, the mountains,
the valleys and the wonderful skies
should be a wonderful incentive to
the real love of music.
Il have written a number of compo-
sitions since arriving in Hawaii, and
feel that these should be popular.
Volcano Inspirations, and a simple lit
tie number written one day when
visited the Pail will be published in
the next book Of steel guitar music
There is so much to the steel guitar
that believe it will continue tc
take a place with the violin. The
ukulele may lose it's popularity, but
not the steel guitar"
Mrs Stumpf was the first to ar
range steel guitar music t. minor
tunings. When she met Joe Kekuku
in San Francisco she first brought
out the method OF playing the guitar in
minor tunings. Mrs. Stumpf arrangcs
all Of sonny" Cunha's music for the
steel guitar, and Is the steel guitar
critic for the Southern California
Music Company, one of the largest
dealers in Hawaiian music in America
Mrs. Stumpf is the author Of the
Original Hawaiian Method and the
Stumpf UkuIele Method. She said to-
day that 1000 copies of her steel
guitar book have been sold in southern
California. She is a regular contri-
butor to the Boston Crescendo, a mu.
steal publication. Mrs. Stumpf is en-.
thusiastic about Hawaii, and intends
to return here in the very near future

DENVER'S UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS

Denver has produced one of the smallest sCulcd
punches Of parasites thus far discovered in the
period. Some landlords in the Colorado metrOpo-
lis have raised the rent on tenants becauce of gar
dens made by them in the back yards. Increases
ranging up to 40 per cent are reported. \ newly
organized civic association however, is taking up
the matter and may find means of bringing the
leeches to their senses
Pat lotto citizens Of Denver have had their pa
tlence tried in other ways. for instance when
"pacifist' meeting, led and addressed by Congress-
man Hilliard bawled itself hoarse in applauding
attacks on the government the army and the navy.
The Denver Post, in connection with local recall
election spoke of billiards. "foo reso. tiOn in Con

ton that made him and Denver the city he repre-

But that is not all
War in far away Europe is presenting entirely
new problems in the soldier situation. a large per

as their grandfathers went after the skulking blood

Writings of prOfessed war sages in leading
magazines need attention of the censor more
than does the current coming to the
newspapers through the regular channels. 1t is
astounding to read in one periodical, under pre-
sumably genuine signature. that Germany is able to
withstand the whole world behind her defenses AMI
that Prussian military power will never be broken
until the masses of Germany smash it from the in
side. This kind of irresponsible vaporing, tending
to take the heart out Of Americas preparations for
the irrepressble conflict, smells - the insidious
Teuton propaganda.

(SpeciaI Star. Bulletin Correspoldence)
HILO, Aug. 16.-That Hilo's water
supply is in a precarious condition.
and that the present outlook is one
of grave alarm was the gist Of a state.
ment made yesterday by Maj. D. S.
Bowman, chief sanitary inspector OF
the local board of health.
It has been found that owing to the
lengthy dry spell being experienced
here scarcely sufficient water is at
present obtainable for ordinary house
hold purposes.
Investigations of the water head
reservation we're made Wednesday
last by W. Vannatta superintendent
of water works, Supervisor Eugene
Lyman, A. c. Wheeler, C. H. Will and
Mai Bowman, to ascertain If more
water could not be developed.
A spring was found just below the
present water head from which the
reservation supply has been escaping,
and to save this waste the supervisors
will be urged to install main pipe to
the reservoir.
Should it be found that the water
supply is still inadequate after this
is done. endeavors will be made to
obtain additional supplies from maui
ka bitches.
The adoption Of these measures is
only temporary, and they are being
carried out to conserve the water sup
ply until the supervisors can appro-
pirate sufficient money to make the
necessary and urgent alterations.
On Wednesday night there was no
water in the reservoir and at 6
o'clock yesterday morning there was
only feet: 1t is expected, however,
that the endeavors which are being
made to direct the water running to
waste back to the reservoir will give
a better supply for some time.

Argentina's Awakening

Saturday evening in Buenos Ayres
meeting for the purpose of urging
war with Germany was attended by
10000 persons. On Sunday a pro-
cession favorable to the Allies, the
United States and Brazil, in which
100000 persons participated, march,
ed for hours, singing patriotic songs.
Demonstrations like these show
how the judgment of civilization Is
turning ineXorably against the aims
and methods of Prussian militarism.
Tho Argentine Government at first,
while not distinctly pro- German, was
far from sympathetic with the Allies.
Outwardly friendly to the United
States, its attitude toward us has
often been characterized by aloof-
ness or suspicion. The great change
in popular sentiment has resulted in
part from the German atrocities,
and in part from the ideals of lib
erty and democracy and justice pro-
claimed by President Wilson when
we entered the war.
With the greater part of North
ana South America united in con-
demnation of the autocracy which
has filled the earth with bloodshed,
outrage and misery, the league which
presently will enforce peace upon q
nation for fifty years instructed in
aggression becomes stronger day by
day. - New York Times.
