Big Crowd GreetS
Opening OF Theater
New Kahului Theater PIeaSeS All
With It's Many Attractive Features
Has Most Modern Machinery
Is FireprOOf

The opening of the new Kahului
Theater, last Friday night, was eel
ebrated by an audience that packed
the pretty playhouse to its limit of
capacity. 1t was ~ representative
Maui crowd and it's evident apprecia-
tion of the attractiveness of the new
theater should have been most graft
flying to H. B. Weller, the proprietor,
and w. F. Wallace the manager.
The feature of the evening, Geral-
dine Farrar in her masterpiece "The
Woman God Forgot was enthusiastic
cally received.
From the proceeds Of the opening
night Mf-~Weller donated to the Red
Cross branch of Maui the sum OF
800.
The new Kahului Theater opened
it doors to- the public exactly six
months after the fire which destroyed
the old Kahului Lyceum 1t is the
enterprise largely of H. B. Weller,
the leasee of the theater, and repre-
sents an outlay of $4,000. 1t is a
thoroughly up-to-date theater, of ex-
ceptionally pleasing design, and being
of solid concrete is absolutely fire
proof 1t has a seating capacity of
about $50.
The building was erected by the
Kahului Railroad Company, under
direction of William Walsh, superin-
tendent, and the actual construction
was in charge of Hugh McNicol, pan-
ager OF the building and construction
department of the railroad company.
The theater is equipped with the
~ st modern projection apparatus, in
duplicate, the machines being motor
driven, thus insuring perfect steadi-
ness oi speed. The screen is the
latest thing in nitro-silyer patent
sheet, improving the character Of the
pictures remarkably over the ordin-
airy screen.
w. F. Wallace, who came to Maui
about 8 months ago, superintended
the fitting up Of the theater and the
installation of the machinery He
will remain as he permanent manager
Of the Weller-Vasconcellos business.

Pukalani polo grounds in Makawao

The players were far from tourna-
ment form and the ponies, according
to the spirit of the times had not
been kept up"-but were just in

MauiLiquor Men May
Withdraw Requests
License Board May Grant Licenses
If Any Care To Pay $500 Or $500
For Few Weeks Privilege - Fed
eral Law Changes Situation

Whether Maui will go dry on July
/, or whether the agony will be
drawn out for six weeks or so longer,
may be left for the liquor men them
selves to decide. There is now a
likelihood that the liquor commi6-
sioners may recind their previous in
tention of refusing to issue any IL
Genes to sell liquor on Maui after
June 80, and may renew the permits
OF the present dealers if any OF them
care to have them.
This new. phase Of the situation
is brought about by the passage last
week by the Congress Of bone-dry
prohibition law for Hawaii, which
will go into effect for all the Islands
80 days after the President signs the
act, or probably the latter part OF
August. That the extra time be
given the dealers to dispose OF their
stocks on hand with less likelihood
of serious loss, was suggested at
meeting Of the license board held on
Wednesday.

LAHAINA SURF NEARLY
CLAIMS NEW VICTIMS
Passengers Struggle For Lives When Ships Boat
Swamps---Lahaina Woman Long In Perl---J. F.
Durao Suffers Injuries - Near-Tragedy Much
Like One Three Years AgO--Safe Landing I'M
perativety Needed

Thrown into a boiling surf when
their boat was swamped by a big
breaker, Mrs. H. X. Bruss, of Lahai'
ma, Joseph F. Durao, Of Honolulu;
and Oshiro Pampei, ! of Honolulu,
escaped death as by miracle, last
Saturday night.
The near-tragedy occurred off the
Laha!na landing, almost at the identl-
cal place where two lives were lost
in like manner just three years ago.
The victims of the accident were
passengers of the Inter-lsland Steam
er Mauna Kea, and were coming
ashore in one of the ships boats at
the time.
Besides these just named there
were five other passengers in the boat
at the tine, but they managed 10
cling to the thwarts of the boat until
it righted itself. They were-Ben
Williams, Puunene; E. c. Mellor,
Wailuku; John O'Rouke, Honolulu;
George M. Collins, Honolulu; and H.
Lemke, Honolulu.
All the members of the boat S
crew except two went overheard
when the boat careened. The
surf carried the swamped boat rapid
" shoreward leaving those in the wa
te struggling for their lives.
Rescue Slow
For some reason yet unexplained
il was a very long time before the
passengers in the water were nnaliy

Paia And Wailuku
Play Great Game
Every Man A Star In Almost Error
less Game Plenty OF Excitement
For Fans Stars Down Cubs In
Junior Game

The story of the game between
Paia and Wailuku needs no words to
tell it. It can best be read in the
box score. Up to the end of the
eighth inning not run had been
scored by Paia, nor had they even
made hit, and except in the second
when Bal walked two men, no one
safely reached the initial sack. Wal
luku played errorless baseball
1t was not a pitchers battle, for
Bal and Robinson each struck out 5,
and walked two; but it was battle
from start to finish with nine men
fighting on each side. OF those who
deserve individual mention, Yanagi
comes first, for out of IL chances he
only missed one, and many of them
were not anywhere near the range OF
an ordinary first sacker. He reached
Out, up, and down, and pulled them in
fom anywhere, and if once they came
near his mitt they were drawn to it
and were stuck as if Goldin were
were directing their movements.
Shin and Silva showed speed and
judgment in chasing the flies which
came into their gardens, and Rod
rigues at third, handled his six
chances with grace speed and preci-
sion, fielding perfectly, and throwing
accurately, except for one in the last
round.
Paia opened her game in the field
with a dazzling double play, Kugiya-
Yemoto-Rocha, retiring Wailuku be
fore they know what they were
in for. But in the second roIn1,
Paia began to crack. With two out,
and chance to retire the side, Ku-
giya let a grounder through which
gave Cockett second base. Shin
came up next and Robinson gave him
a walk, evidently with the idea of
getting Yanagi. But Yanagi fooled
'em, by putting clean two base hit
right over second. The result was

and brought ashore. There were two
boats from the ship already at the
landing, and only $50 or 200 yards
away, but they did not go to the res
cue. 1t is stated by persons on the
landing at the time, that it was be-
tween half and three-Quarters of an
hour after the accident before the
victims of the accident were finally
landed
How they managed to escape being
drowned in the battering breakers is
hard to explain. Mrs. Bruss is good
swimmer, but encumbered as she was
with clothing she was completely eX-
hausted when help finally arrived. The
Japanese Pampei, was also able to
swim.
Passenger Hurt
Durao is not a swimmer, and he
suffered most severely of all from the
accident. The fact that he could
touch bottom between waves, gave
him the courage, he says to keep up
the fight until finally rescued. In
being pitched out he was struck by
the side of the boat sustaining d
broken rib and a severe confusion of
the right leg. He was brought to
Wailuku on Sunday morning and was
in Malulani hospital until yesterday
morning. The broken rib is believed
to have penetrated his right lung for
he has had number of small hem

3 Ways to Economic
on Wheat and Sugar

How to have a jelly supply with
out a sugar supply is a problem in
kitchen matt ematics which the home
economics department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin solves in three
ways.
First, say the home economics
workers, can the juice now, in expec-
tation of an increased sugar sup
ply when the ship building
program and the beet sugar
harvest together will make sugar
available for jelly making.
The juices may be prepared as for
jellies. even to the point Of making
a second or third extraction of juice
from the pulp. The first extraction
is made by covering the pulp with
fresh water, heating this to boiling,
and cooking. keepir the juice be-
low the boiling point. To a pound
of soft fruit, add J cup Of water and
simmer 80 minutes. To pound Of
hard fruit, cut into small pieces, add
8 cups of water and simmer As min
utes.
Second, if enough sugar is at hand
to make the jelly now, the supply
may be stretched by careful man
agement of the juice. Most fruits
contain a substance known as pectin,
soluble in boiling water, which de-
determines how we'll the juice will
jelly. To test the amount of pectln,
add to a tablespoon of juice an equal
amount of grain or wood alcohol
Cloth are poisonous After 3Osmin-
utes the pectin should separate into
a jelly-like mass. If it is in large
Jumps, three parts of sugar to four
parts of juice should be used. If it
is in small particles, the proportion
is one part of water to two parts of
juice. If the pectin does not separ-
ate at all other fruit juices which
contain more of the substance should
be added.
Third, corn syrup may be partly
substituted for sugar. With grapes
not yet ripe, with currants, raspber-
ries, and blackberries, I cup of corn
syrup and II cup of sugar may be
used for each cup Of juice. With
tart apples, ounces, crab apples,
and cranberries, ] cup of sugar and
10 cup of corn syrup give satisfac-
tory results.

All Things Compensate

ALI Things Compensate" -this
was the subject of masterfui essay
of Emerson; the line of argument
being that if person loses one
arm. the other is doubly strong in
order that the balance or harmony
of the body may be maintained.
But in so many instances of plays
with music, the music uotshines the
play, or the play outshines the mu-
sic and thus the eternal fitness of
things is thrown out of balance and
the compensation is FAILURE. In
my Sammy Girl which comes to
the Auditorium for one night, Fri
day, Sept. 6. The author MIL. B.
Parker has been fortunate in pro-
ducing military comedy with mu-
sic in which the play and the music
are equally balanced, both accen<s
uating the other. The comedy is
said to be an example of Mr.. Park
er's very best style and abounds in
situations of absorbing interest and
many novel ideas in working out
the plot. The music which was
written by Mr.. w. R. Williams, is
of the kind that won't come out of
your mind, the kind b at you
whistle intuitively.

An Appeal to
Save Gasoline

The United States Fuel Administ-
ration considers it necessary that a
limited conservation of gasoline be
undertaken, in the States east of
the Mississippi River in view of the
increasing demand for gasoline for
war purposes and the paramount
obligation of meeting promptly and
fully all overseas requirements.
An appeal is made therefore, to
the people of the United States east
of the Mississippi River to exercise
rigid economy in the consumption
of gasoline during the next few
weeks as necessary and practical
act of patriotism.
War necessities are being and will
continue to be promptly and fully
met, but this is the period of the
year when consumption of gasoline
is at its highest. and the increased
domestic demands, together with ex-
tensive m ilitary operations in
France, have rendered necessary,
for limited period, the adoption of
safeguards against possible short
age.
In view of the difficulty, if not
the impossibility, Of differentiating
between the various uses to which
automobiles are applied, the United
States Fuel Administration believes
that the greatest measure of econo-
my can be effected with the latest
interferences with the business of
the country through the discontin-
uance of the use of all classes Of mo-
tor boats, and motor cycles, on Sun
days.
The United States Fuel Admins
tration therefore, requests that in
the section of the United States
east of the Mississippi River there
shall be discontinuance of use of
the vehicles above specified, includ-
ing all such as are operated for hire,
on each Sunday hereafter until mott
fcation that the need for such dis
continuance has ceased.
Til following exceptions ar e..

3-Ambulances, fl e apparatus,

Railway equipment using gaso-

5-Repair outfits employed by tel
ephone and public service compan-
les.
6@Motor vehicles on errands of
necessity in rural communities
where transportation by steam or
electricity is not available.
In addition to the above, appeal is
made to the patriotic men and wo-
men of America, east of the Missis-
sippi River, to undertake. voluntar-
lily. additional conservation in the
operating of their own automobiles,
wherever possible.
The United States Fuel Administ-
ration believes that all consumers of
gasoline will observe the spirit of
this request. In that event no man.
datory order governing the use of
gasoline will be necessary.
Yours very truly,

Some Of the Bits Your
Liberty Bond Will Do

" If you buy 500 bond of the

enough money,to feed a soldier in
