Citizenship Work
Extended To Women
Local Committee Formulating Plans
For Meeting Problem WOmen'S
Clubs Asked To Help-SuggeS-
tiOnS Wanted-LectureS Planned.

To fill a need for reaching the wO-
men and girls of Maui in some way
similar to that by which the American
citizenship idea is now being carried
home to the young men of the Island,
the Americanzation committee of the
Maui Aid Association has decided to
take up this work in a definite way.
AS a step in this connection a series
of lectures is planned to be given dur
ing the coming winter.
Hearty cooperation is expected
from the Maui Woman's Club, the Wo-
mans Suffrage Club, the Hawaiian
Women's Club, and other organiza-
tions. The committee is also solicit
ing suggestions and opinions of all in
terested persons in ways and means
for reaching most effectively the great
mass of the women of the Island-a
problem that is not without its diff
culties.
In connection with the lecture series
being planned, the committee hopes
to secure some Is or 20 patrons to
provide a fund for meeting the travel
ing expenses of out of the island
speakers who will be asked TO come,
Among the speakers in mind at pres
ent are DR.. A. w. Palmer, of Homo
lulu; Prof. Vaughan MacCaughey, SUI
perintendent of schools and Miss
Grace Channon, president of the Y. w.
c.. A., Honolulu.
Some of the subjects to be treated
will probably be-"The Territorial
Government and its Powers" "Our
Basis for Taxation and How Tax
Monies are Appropriated" Definite
Objectives For Progress in Hawaii, "
Effective Citizenship"
The first address will be given some
time in January.

MAUI JAPANESE HAS
TROUBLE GETTING A WIFE

True love ne'er runs smooth
course, as Karokawa, a Japanese Ia
borer on Maui, has found to his sor-
row. A few weeks ago he came to
Honolulu to plight his troth to Shenai
Nakagawa, a comely Japanese woman.
She blushed and accepted the words
of devotion, and is said to have named
aadate for the marriage.
Karokawa, through his attorney,
Arthur M. Brown, claims he gave the
woman $500 for the purchase of a
trousseau, but that she now refuses
to be married. A charge of gross
cheat was filed against her in police
court this morning, and was continued
until next -Star-Bulletin.

Claim Revenue Man
Uses "BOOze DeteCtOr''

Field Deputy j. S. Gawne, of the
Internal Revenue force has been
enabled to make his liquor seizures
through aid of a mysterious in
strument of "detector." At least
this is the conviction of some OF
the Portuguese residents of Maka-
wac district
1t is declared that the officer has
been seen guiding his course across
the country by means of this in
stsument which he carries in front
of him like a pocket compass. This
remarkable contraption, it is de-
clared, will point infallibly in the
direction of alcohol with result
that Gawne is able to walk right
up to a hidden cache of liquor and
root it out

celebrate the opening of the new terri
torial building at the county fair

Master OF LurIine
Given Hero Medal
Capt. J. P. Rasmussen Went Over
board In Winter Gale To Rescue
Drowning Seaman-Daring Deed
Brings Congress Medal.

Capt. James 2. Rasmussen, master
of the Matson liner Lurline, which
was in Kahului on Monday. is Justly
proud of magnificent gold medal
which he had just received from the
federal government before he left San
Francisco on his last trip, as a recog-
milton Of his heroism in saving the
life of a seaman from drowning.
The medal is worth $1OO or more for
the gold it contains, but is priceless
to its owner. On the diverse side are
the words-"United States of America
Act of Congress, June 20, 1874" sur
rounding a pictorial design in relief
of a life-saving scene On the reverse
side is-"ln testimony of heroic deeds
in saving life from the perils of the
sea. To James p. Rasmussen, for
bravely attempting to save a man
from drowning, February 10, 1919"
The deed referred to was performed
? days out of France when Capt Ras-
mussen was serving as first officer
on the Matson steamer Maui, then still
in transport service on the Atlantic.
In a terrific gale a member of the
crew was washed overheard The sea
was so rough that a boat could not be
launched, and so Rasmussen went over
board into the icy water and succeed
ed in reaching the drowning man.
Both were finally pulled on board by
means of rope thrown from the ship.
In the same gale an American war
vessel had two men swept overheard,
and boat with II men which went
to the rescue was swamped and all
II were drowned.
1t is probable that this will be Capt.
Rasmussens last trip in command of
the Lurline. 1t is understood that he
is slated to command either the Ma
noa or the Wilhelmina, both of which
will be on the Maui run when the per-
manent schedule is once more estab-
lished.

File Suits To Recover "Grape-JuiCe"
Seized By Revenue Men-Demand
Property and $4,000 Damages Each
Will Answer Before U. s. Court

Replevin suits to recover the 81 bar
rels of wine seized last week in
Makawao by federal revenue officers,
were instituted on Tuesday. Bonds
were filed and the cases will come
up at the next term of court.
Three lots of wine were seized and
three separate suits to recover it have
been brought In each instance the
property is described as "grapejuice."
Manuel Joaquin de Cova claims that
8 barrels of grape-juice were taken
from him. He values it at $3.50 and
demands besides $4,000 as damages.
Manuel Mendes alleges that II barrels
of like product were taken from him
which he values at $3.50, and he wants
$4,000 damages. Joe Santos Bars had
IL barrels seized which is said to be
worth $500. He also demands $4,000
as damages.
Arrests Made
United States Marshal Smiddy ar
rived on Maui on Wednesday, accom-
panied by Assistant District Attorney
Garbold, and the alleged wine makers
were placed under arrest on bench
warrants. They appeared before u.
S. Commissioner Harry Mossman yes
terday afternoon and furnished bail
in sum of $1,000 each for their appear
ance before U. S. district court for
trial. They were represented at the
hearing by Attorney E. Murphy, who
demanded immediate hearing, but was
overruled.
Wine Goes To Honolulu
The 81 barrels of wine in question
is to be shipped to Honolulu tomor-
row by federal authorities. 1t is stat
ed that the analyses made in Homo
lulu of the samples sent down, show
ed alcoholic content of from to 10
percent.
The three man accused of illegal
traffic are to be given a trial in Homo
lulu next Tuesday. AS all of them are

light fine in case they plead guilty
or are convicted.

What Is Being Done
In Citizenship Work

Perhaps a good many persons in the
Islands imagine that the Americaniza-
ton work being carried on here is
something peculiar to Hawaii. 1t may
be a surprise to these to know that
it is a great movement all over the
United States. The War opened the
eyes of the nation to the need of some
energetic work towards making aliens
into Americans, and there is scarcely
any part of the country that is not
now doing its share in this work.
The national bureau Of education is
publishing a monthly magazine in aid
of this movement, called Americana
zation," and from a recent issue the
following synopses of what Com
munities Are Doing" is taken:
San Francisco, Calif-The local dis
trict of the California Federation of
Women's Clubs, representing ii coun-
ties, has adopted plan of Americana
zation for Americans. 1t has been
felt that native Americans have much
to learn upon those very subjects in
which they must necessarily assist
the foreign born.

Big Dance To Open
New Fair Building
Committee Alss Plans To Have Puma
hou Faculty Club For Musical Pro-
gram - Opening On New Years
Eve-PubliC Invited

The new territorial building at the
county fair grounds is to be opened
with a big ball and entertainment on
New Years eve.
This was decided upon at meeting
of the directors of the Maui County
Fair & Racing Association held
last Friday afternoon, in ap-
proving the report of the executive
committee. 1t was further decided
that the affair shall be an all-Maui one
and that no special invitations will be
issued but that every one will be well
come to attend.
The committee plans to have the
building tastefully decorated, and to
provide for a full evening of dances,
interspersed with numbers of a high
grade musical program. An invita-
ton is to be extended to the Punahou
Faculty Music Club to supply this
feature of the evening, and if the in
vitation is accepted it means that
Maui residents will have an oppOr-
tunity of hearing some of the finest
artists in the territory in a program
that will appeal to all tastes.
Work on the new building, which
will cost $4,000 or more but for which
the territory appropriated $4,000, is
rapidly nearing completion. 1t is
stated that it will be fully ready for
turning over to the committee before
the first Of the year

New Traffic Markers
Dangerous Obstruction

Sheriff Glenn Crowells bumps, or
street warts" are not proving an an
qualified success. Mrs. r. c. Echten-
fels failed to see the one at the corn
er of Main and High streets, last Sun
day evening, on account of the street
lights not being on, with result her
car was thrown out of control and
smashed into the old Bailey store
building, smashing the windshield
and damaging the fender of the car.
a big auto truck ran over one side
of the same hemisphere on Tuesday
and broke a big chunk out OF the con
crete.
The trouble with the new markers
is probably that they are too high. In
San Francisco a few months ago all
of the downtown corners were marked
in similar manner by the California
automobile association except that the
markers are only about four inches
higher than the surrounding paving,
but kept painted white so that they
are readily seen. The idea in the
coast city is not to place an obstruc,
tion in the street that could cause in
jury from striking it--eXcept to the
drivers pocket book. 1t costs IS 10
drive over or touch one of those mark
ers if traffic cop is looking.

A comfortable widow is Mrs.

drawing three $3.50 pensions, or
$172.50 a month, for the loss Of three
husbands during the war, and will
draw that amount for 20 years. Mrs.

killed In action. Then Mrs. jones'
Smith married Private Jackson, re-

her a widow third time In less than

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
'e montana Town Of Willow Creek
Has Something OF Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Creek is the ordinary name
oI an ordinary small town in Montana
bear Greek. Roundup and Sioux Pass
nave more of the Western flavor. but
willow Greek is typical little West
erh town In spite Of its name. II ia
so In the midst of vast tract of claan
prairie land that 1t cannot be measured
Dy the yard-wide rule of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keen
a paternal watch over 1t.
Even when the early morning mists
nlde the mountains and prairies, VIII
low Creek stands out spunkily-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
uon near the railroad tracks Is very
small quite square and very red. Lux.
uriant groves of trees fill the spaces
between the pretty little white, frame
houses. A road that looks clean
swept shows to all corners a straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers In the
current of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.
AS the train from the west stops q
few minutes at Willow Greek, In the
early dawn, a middle-aged man swings
on and starts down the road at a good
pace. One would know him anywhere
for mining man.
The metropolitan doing the transcon-
dnental trip may smile at little Willow
Greek from his comfortable Pullman,
but there Is one thing here of which
the East cannot boast-elbow room.
The great reaches of space are some
thing unknown and bewildering to the
Eastern strap-hanger and cliff dweller.
AS the mining man swaggers down the
road toward his great outdoors, there
Is something about him which spells
domain.

WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD
Highway Of Solid Granite In the Rocky
Mountains a Rival Of the.
AppIan Way.

Taking example from the famous
Appian way, which has the name of
being the first great road undertaken
BY the Romans as a public work, the
state of Colorado. with the help of an
appropriation by the United States
government, is building a highway of
solid granite In the Rocky mountains.
No other highway In the world, 1t is
predicted, will provide travellers with
so magnificent a scenic setting, close
to a sheer fall Of 5000 feet on the
other side of the great concrete posts
and cables that will safeguard vehicu-
lar traffic. One gets an idea of the
road from the practical statement that
1t is costing $4,000 a mile to build.
Like the Appian way, on which long
stretches of pavement first travelled
over 300-odd years before the Chris
tan era, still remain practically per-
feet, the chairman of the Colorado
highway commission believes that Colo
RADIO Is creating work which will defy
the centuries and stand, on compile
ton, as the most wonderful road in
the modern world.
