Hawaii'S A Land
OF Waters Too

The following is reprinted from the
Hilo Post-Herald:
West Central Maui, or that section
of Maui lying between the lao noun
tains on the west and Puunene plan
tation on the east, and comprising
WailulIu, Waikapu, Waiehu and Wal
hee, have been sung by poets as
Na-wai-eha or the Four Waters, and
the inhabitants of the land of Ka-
hekili and Kaahumanu always had
feeling of pride whenever that part
of the Valley Isle is referred as SUCH"
said a Valley Islander yesterday.
South Hilo can also boast of such
poetical appellations, although not
sung by the poets as such, and per-
haps can even go one better on the
famed land of Kama, for Hilo can
also be referred to as the Land of
Five Waters OF Na-wai-elima, for here
within stones throw almost of
each other are to be found lying be-
tween the world renowned Kilauea
and the broad Pacific. Wainaku, Wal
lullu, Waianuenue, Wailoa, and Waia-
kea."

Beware The Bike
When 1t Is New
Bucking Motorcycle Proves Proud
COpper'S UndOing-It Was The
Pride Of The Force Too

Policeman Wilson started brayely
from the station on High street Tues
day morning with a brand new motor
cycle. 1t was a beautiful machine, so
shiny and new, and he was the envy
of the whole force when he started off
on it, But alas for the prideful feel
ings which swelled the breast of
Policeman Wilson. That motorcycle
proved to be a wildly bucking broncho,
and when it encountered a Japanese
it gave a snort and bucked so badly
that it upset the immaculate Wilson
fresh from inspection, busted its gas
oline tank and poured the precious
and inflammable fluid all over him
Not content with that, however, it
took vicious hold of his neither gar
ments and chewed at them, the while
the engine continued to run, and by
the time Wilson had eXtricated him
self he hastily removed himself from
that spot into the obscurity of four
walls and frantically telephoned to
the station for new uniform Thus
ended the voyage of the proud knight.
He won't trust deceiving shiny
motorcycle again. The only kind he
cares for now is one that's battle
scared and mud-bespattered

Big Auto Nearly
Wrecks Building

A pedestrian so it is claimed by a
Japanese auto driver almost caused
the demolition of one of Maui's old
buildings on Tuesday afternoon. The
accident happened when a Coles run
ming at high speed swerved off the
street and ran into the oldtime home
Of The Maui News on High street,
now occupied as a storeroom for the
Singer sewing machines. The impact
nearly brought the building down and
slowed it around as though an earth
quake had occurred. One wall was
completely ripped from its fastening
TO the roof, the front door was smash
ed in and several of the machines
damaged and the door and window
frames were left skittishly leaning
out of plumb. The accident
was caused, it was at first thought by
the driver of the car trying to avoid
hitting Charles Puck who had Just
left the Maui News doorway and
was starting to turn around. Puck
saw the man coming and backed up
to give him room, but the driver
claimed that just as Puck backed and
gave him clear view of the roadway
he saw a pedestrian crossing and had
to turn into the building in order to
avoid hitting him.

After Purchasing Latest In Fur
,Niture And Fixtures
BANK FIXTURES WILL COME LATER
Steel And Marble Will Make Bank
One OF Finest In ISland-POSt
Office Furnishings Will Be Here
About September |

G. ID. Lufllin, who left for the main
land about month ago returned on
the Lurline and arrived on Maui We'd
nesday bringing favorable reports of
the furnishings which have been pur-
chased for the new bank building and
the post office.
"The post office fixtures should ar
rive here about September first"
finished in mahogany and very hand
some. The mail boxes will be of the
best type with automatic keyless lock
which will be furnished by the Auto
matte Keyless Lock company of
Indiana" If the furnishings arrive
at that time the new post Office should
be ready for business by September
Is.
It is hoped that the furniture for
the bank will get here the latter part
of September, but Mr.. Lufliin is
afraid that even ii it makes that good
time, the bank will not be ready for
the County Fair and Civic Conven-
ton, although that is thing much to
be desired. The post Office, however,
will be ready for occupancy by that
time.
The bank is to be finished with
marble furnished by the American
Marble and Mosaic company of San
Francisco, and the Office furnishings,
desks, cabinets, and so forth will be
of finely finished steel TO be furnish
ed by j. l.. Davidson company of Los
Angeles. When the interior OF the
bank is finished it is expected to be
one of the handsomest business
structures on Maui, and to be the last
word in up-to-date bank construction.

This certifies that .......... has
assured the War and Navy Depart
ments that he will gladly re-employ
everybody for formerly worked for
