POLITICIANS VISIT KAUAI

A. Lewis, manager of the Bank
of Hawaii, in Honolulu, and
Harold X. l.. Castle, were Kauai
visitors last week. Both gentle
men are Representatives elect
and came to Kauai to inquire into
the efficient ways the County of
Kauai has in handling many of
it's problems, such as building new
school houses, etc, with a view to
introducing more economic ways
in like matters in Honolulu. The
necessary data will be furnished
by engineer MOragne.
While here the gentlemen EN-
joyed goat hunt up Waimea
Canyon under the guidance of

School Contest

y An inter-schOlastic league for
base ball and basket ball is in
process of organization to include
all, or nearly all, of the available
schools on the Island.
A schedule of events is being
framed up, which will give to
every school in the league a
chance to show what it can do,
and a chance at the prizes, as
indicated elsewhere in our col
umns. These events are being ar.
ranged by the Child Welfare Com.
mittees working in conjunction

ACTING LAND
AGENT HERE

Mr.. G. T. Bailey, acting land
commissioner, came to Kauai on
Friday and returned Saturday
He made a hurried trip of inspec-
ton from Waimea to Kapaa, in
company with Hardy, the water
man, in which he sought to ia.
miliarize himself with the land
problems here.
When seen by a representative
of the Garden Island he explain
that he was only temporarily in
charge of the land office; that Mr..
Rivenburgh had gone East on a
two months leave of absence, and
that no information had been re-
ceived from as to what he was
going to do. He had gone to hunt
up better job; if he found it he
wouldn't come back; if he didn't
find it he might be back any day.
That being the case his own ten
ure of Office was so temporary
that naturally he didn't care to
outline any policy in regard to
land matters or make any state
ment that would involve the land
office.
He had every reason to believe,
however, that the hOmesteading
plans under way at Hanapepe and
Wailua would be carried out as
they had been formulated. The
land board, he said, had approved
of the plan of putting at least a
portion of Hanapepe makai of the
road and west of the river, on the
market, in small plots for town
lots or market garden purposes.
This proposition was ready for
action and would come to a finish
very soon.
The Wailua section, north of
the river, was also ready to be
thrown open. There were some
20 or 25 lots, he thought, running
about 30 to 40 acres apiece.
He admitted that things had
moved pretty slow in the land de-
paEtment for some time back, and
that there were good many
things on the stocks that should
be cleared up.

able site for a central camp in
that region:
Mr. II. II. BrOdie,

ON THE TRACK
OF MORE PAY

Apparently, up in HilO they
have a teachers union that isn't
afraid to speak up and say what
it thinks.
The Kauai Chamber of Com
nierce is in receipt of a set of re
solutions framed by the HilC
Teachers Union, setting forth
certain facts very vital to teach.
ers throughout the whole Terri
tory. and which will no doubt
voice the convictions not of teach
ers alone, but of all sensible and
intelligent people as well.
Among the contentious which
they make are these: The cost
of living has gone up 80 per cent
in the last four years. The com
pensatiOn of field laborers has
gone up 81 per cent during the
last year. This compensation of
field labor, everything taken into
account, is about S55 as Il mini
mum. The average compensation
of school teachers OH Hawaii is
between $50 and $40 and the scale
Of living is much more expensive.
If the teachers do not receive a
substantial increase of salary the
most capable and efficient mem
bers of the profession will with
draw from the same and go into
something else that will pay
better.
Accordingly it is vitally i'm.
pOrtant in the interest of educa.
ton as well as of justice to the
teachers, that a substantial raise
of salary be given them.

Lihue Hospital Improvements

The new children'S ward of the
Lihue hospital, which has recently
been opened, is a model institu
ton, up to date in every respect
There will be accommodation for III
children and about half a dozen
babies. The baby cribs are especi
ally attractive and convenient, SO
arranged that the basket, baby
and all, can be lifted out. The
appliances are all of enamelled
metal. and are all on wheels that
run very smoothly, so that they
can easily be wheeled about. This
makes it very easy to move the
patients out onto the veranda dur
ing the day time at least in nice
weather. The opening of this new
ward relieves the main hospital OF
the children inmates, and makes
things better all around.
This children's ward is the gift
of the late w. G. Parke.
In the main hospital there have
bppu several imuOrtaut chances
and improvements, notably the
throwing together of several small
wards into one, with consequent
increase of light and air.
There have also been valuable
additions to the equipment in the
operating and sterilizing rooms
bringing everything up to the
level of the best.

THE END OF THE
WARREN CASE

The Warren case which has
been running for some time in the
Hilo courts. and in which Hannah
Warren was accused of the mur-
der of her daughter a dozen years
ago, has come to an end, in the
acquital of the defendant.
The defense put up by the War
rens was that the girl died of
leprosy, and the suspicious acces-
sories in the way of a secret bur
ial at night. and an unreported
death, and a profound silence in
regard to the while affair. were
all to keep the health authorities
and the general public off the
track of the disease.
BY common consent of the Jury
it was a weak case on either side,
and they preferred to give the
benefit of the doubt to the defend
ant. 1t seems that no woman was
ever hanged in Hawaii and they
did not want to establish bad
precedent.

A VICTIM OF INFLUENZA

The death of VIM. e. Davis, late
civil engineer for Grove Farm, is re
ported on good authority. 1t will be
remembered that they left Lihue two
or three months ago for the coast. He
contracted Spanish Influenza in its
most virulent form and was unable
to throw it off.
He was a very promising young
man, of fine character, superior in
telligence and good education. Whom
the Gods love die young" Their many
friends here extend most cordial sym
pathy to Mrs. Davis and other rela
tives.

A DAYS OUTING
Up WA|LUA

There are still a good many
people on Kauai who do not know
the attractions and possibilities
of the Wailua River trip.
A party of ten or a dozen who
know, made the trip last Wed.
nesday with much satisfaction.
They made it in a Chinese barge,
fitted up for the occasion, towed
by gasoline motor sampan
made it with ease and comfort
there was even one wicker chair,
which, however, every one declin-
ed as being too luxurious for such
an occasion.
The local kamaaina, acting as
guide and mentor, pointed out
the various places of interest, and
told some of the legends and ira.
ditions which clustered around
them.
AS it was nearly noon when
they reached the junction of the
two rivers, they proceeded at
once to the picnic ground at the
head of navigation, on the north
branch, where they partook of
a delicious and leisurly lunch
under the spreading kukui trees.
After lunch they steamed up to
the head of navigation, on the
south branch, which was much
short of the usual place because
of low water and Obstructed navi-
CATION. Not to be beaten, how
ever, they landed and made the
rest of the way to the KOnalea
Rice Plantation on foot. The rice
mill was running so they had a
chance to watch the process,
which some of them had never
seen before.
On the way home they made a
landing at Mauni-ani-ani, back of
+ the cOcOanut grove, where they
visited the sacrificial stone where
human sacrifices were made in
great numbers in early days; and
also the famous birth stone at
HOlO-hOlo-ku. At this place all
high class chiefs must be born in
order to make good their claim to
noble heredity.
The members of the party were
Mr.. and Mrs. B. d. Baldwin, Mrs.
Douglas Baldwin, of Makaweli ;
Frank Alexander, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson, of Eleele; Mr.. and
Mrs. j. X. Farley, of KOlOa, and
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Lydgate, of
Lihue.
1t was such a delightful affair,
ant: such perfect day, that they
promise themselves that they will
surely do it again.

A PRA|SEWORTHY
INSTITUTION

Those whose memory of Kauai
runs back that far will recall
Hugh Morrison as manager of the
Hawaiian Sugar Company. He
was a man of superior endowment,
intelligence and breadth of out
look for the times. When he died
he left provision in his will for
the erection and equipment of
suitable club house for social and
recreational purposes.
Always valuable asset to the
social life of the Makaweli com
munity it has of late developed
into an institution of such ex-
ceptional usefulness as to war
rant special mention.
The traditional plantation pol
icy has been, more or less. to take
care of the families and provide
them with comfortable homes. and
to leave the unmarried people to
their own resources, and the dis
comforts of Il boarding house life.
This may have been partly by way
of penalty for being single, and
with intent perhaps to drive them
into matrimOny, which no doubt
it did in some cases. In others
it drove them to drink.
With commendable wisdom, the
management at Makaweli has ell
deavOred to give the unmarried
employees of the place, as far as
possible, the comforts and adj
vantages of a home, and has done
it mainly through the medium of
the Morrison Club House.
A cOmmOdious and well equip
ped kitchen was added, in which
Il competent cook and waiter were
installed, and excellent board sup
piled to the young men at reason
able rates. With an artistic din
ing room, and an attractive table
service, this was a great improve
ment over the old time frOwzy
boarding house. To give the place
and the service the feminine touch
of home, Miss Thompson, the
principal of the public school,
was put in charge, and the teach
ers were given the privileges of
the institution Miss Thompson
being sufficient guarantee that
the standards of a home should
be observed.
There are parlOrs, dressing
rooms and baths, recreation rooms
with billiards, pool, cards, etc, a
reading room with all the best
magazines as well as the daily
papers, and a small but carefully
selected library, a branch of the
public library in Honolulu.
Here the young people Of the
plantation can spend their even
ings enjoyably, comfortably, and
free from the temptations that
too often beset young people, as
an alternative to the dreary mo-
notony of camp life.
In addition to this these young
people have their own individual
bachelor quarters elsewhere in the
community village. Naturally
they spend most of their spare
time at the club, which has been
chriStened Morrison Hall in honor
of the original benefactor.
1t is Il venture in social econ
omy which has proved Il remark,
able success. and which deserves
TO be widely followed.

SHAMPOO OFTEN
AND KEEP YOUR
SCALP HEALTHY

A healthy scalp is essential to a
| fine suit of hair.
A healthy scalp is thick, pliab.e,
: freely movable on the skull, and is
nourished by a good blood CIR
culation, says the University OF ILL.,
nois health adviser. A poor scalp
is thin and fits the skull tightly.
1t does not contain sufficient nour-
ishment to support a vigorous
growth of hair. A poor circula-
ton of blood in the scalp is the
principal cause of the thinness OF
hair and premature badness.
Dandruff consists of fakes Of dead
skin. 1t is not the cause OF pre-
mature badness but is a symptom
of an unhealthy condition Of the
scalp. What cures one will cure
the other also.
To keep the scalp in a healthy
condition and prevent the falling of
hair, brushing, shampooing and
massaging are helpful. The scalp
should be brushed night and morn
ing with a stiff brush until a feel
ing of warmth is produced by the
blood coming to the surface. Great
care should be taken not to brush
so vigorously or so long as to cause
soreness. If tenderness occurs, do
not brush again until It has dis
appeared.
For adults, the brush should be
stiff and the tufts be far enough
apart to permit easy cleaning. For
children or persons with tender
scalps the bristles should be softer.
The brush should be washed often
with water containing a little am
monia and dried in the sun with
the bristles down to prevent the
water -softening the glue. The
brush may be injured If dried by
artificial heat, especially II for
gotten and left too long. The comb
should have teeth wide apart and
blunt. Fine teeth pull the hair
sharp teeth irritate the scalp.
Shampooing is simply q thorough
washing. The frequency of the
operation depends largely upon the
rapidity with which dandruff &C.
cumulates and to some extent upon
the occupation of the individual.
For some persons, washing the
scalp once month will be found
sufficient to keep it in A hygienic
condition. Others, especially those
whose business requires them to
travel or to be exposed to dust and
dirt, may find it necessary to wash
the scalp vigorously with the ends
of the fingers, wash OFF the lather
with warm water and follow with
several rinsings. Dry thoroughly
with towels and If possible finish
by exposure to direct sunlight. The
kitchen stove or radiator may be
used to dry the hair when sunlight
is not available.
Massaging is merely rubbing the
scalp with the ends Of the fingers. |
Use a variety Of motions. 1t forces
the blood along into the veins and I!
allows new blood to enter. 1t also
brings the oil out Of the glands and
distributes 1t over the scalp and the |
hair. During a part of the process !
both hands should be used and an |
endeavor made to move the scalp !
and to lift it slightly from the skull. |

Spinal Joints Replaced.
In a few instances surgeons have
succeeded in replacing spinal joints
affected bv tuberculosis with bones
taken from animals.
DR.. G. Frank Lydston of Chicago
recently published the results of
his experiments which show that
by the use of organs of animals
aged and feeble can be infused with
youthful vigor and their life ex-
tended.
Or. Brow1-Sequard, a British
surgeon, was one of the forerun-
ners in the movement. 1t is nota-
BILE that he worked along the prin-
ciples accepted by DR.. Voronoff.
DR.. Voronoff has long been en-
gagged in experiments to test the
validity of his theories. He is a
Russian and one Of the highest au-
thorities on surgery. In 1910 he
was engaged in research work at
the Rockefeller Institute together
with DR.. Carol, also a member of
the institute, who at present is en-
gagged in surgical research in Eu-

The Russian is said to be the
originator Of the first method of

geons.
