battle for life far above the clouds,
Major Schroeder, lying on cot in the

drama at Rocky Hill, on the afternoon
of Tuesday. April 10, will have dou-

Highness, the Prince of Wales, will be

other Islanders, will pass before the

a memory that will be worth while in
years to come.
The professional of the pageant

largely of floats, which will be held

Plans To Open Up
New National Parks

Plans for opening up national
parks in Hawaii were discussed at
a conference Friday between Hor-
ace M. Albright, assistant director
of national parks, who arrived last
Tuesday on the Wilhelmina, and
Acting Governor Iaukea, Acting
Attorney General LightfoOt, Land
Commissioned Bailey and repre-
sentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Tourist Bureau,
says the Advertiser.
Mr.. Albright, who intends to re-
main in the Territory for several
months, will leave soon for Ha-
waii to look over the Kilauea
National Park and then go. to
Maui to inspect the Haieakala
National Park. He will be accom-.
panied by Charles J. Judd, eX'
ecutive officer of the board of ag
riculture and forestry, and in Ha
waii will be assisted by George ii
Wears of HilO, representing the
Chamber of Commerce, while
Worth Aiken will aid i'm the III
spection of Haleakala. When AL
bright goes to Kauai, he will be
assisted by William III. Rice, Jr
He is expected to come to Kauai
about April 10th.
Data to help in obtaining an ap
preparation from Congress for the
upkeep and Improvement of nat
iOnal :,arks in the Territory is Al
bright's objective. One of the
problems to be solved is the eX
change of government land outside
of the forestry reserves for pri
vately-owned land within them
Much of the detail work of these
exchanges will be in hands of the
governors office. The Bishop est
ate. for instance, has agreed to eX
change land valued at $4,000
within the reserves for equally
valuable land outside of it, the
Territory already having been au
thorized by congress to make the
exchange.

Kapaa Notes

Mr.. Jacob Y. Woo, recently a
chemist with Pepeekeo Sugar Com
pany of Pepeekeo, Hawaii, arrived
last week to take the position of
night chemist with Makee Sugar
Company. Mr.. Woo is graduate
of the College of Hawaii and is the
son of the Rev. Y L. Woo, of Ho
nolulu.
The Kapaa school garden is in
fine condition and the local vege-
tarians as well as others who are
not fortunate enough to have a
vegetable garden of their own, will
soon be able to satisfy their wants
by paying a visit to this garden of
plenty.
Mr.. Geo. H. Raymond reports
that all the Kapaa school teachers
who were attacked with influenza,
have fully recovered.
Although the flu has apparently
departed for other fields so far as
this district is concerned, the local
theatres and schools are still clos
ed due to the belief of the Govern
ment physician that this method
lessons the spread of the disease.
Local opinion, however, is that
this continued closing, particular
ly that of the Kapaa school, is not
justified, as Honolulu, with its
theatres and other places of
amusement running wide open and
its schools, which are many times
more crowded than on Kauai, open
as usual, has only about 5000 cases
of flu, whereas Kauai, with its
schools and theatres all in the in
fected districts closed, has almost
5000 cases according to last re
ports. DR.. Patterson, when asked
yesterday as to when the ban
would be lifted, stated that so fal
as his information went, DR.
Kuhns is the only person who had
the authority to reopen the lOcal
school and theatre, as he was giver
no instructions with reference tC
this matter when DR.. Kuhns left
for Honolulu.
Many local residents were for
tunate enough to be given tht
chance to see four submarines sal
past Kapaa on Thursday. These
underwater craft were out for {
cruise from their base at Pear
HarbOr.

BIG DRIVE TO START IN APRIL

The united financial campaign for
the Kauai Y. NJ. c. A., Kauai boy
scouts and the public school athletic
league, which was to have been put
on a month previous will now be car
ried forward to the first week in
April. Although the flu situation is
still somewhat of a handicap in car
rying out the plans OF the committee,
still it is believed that Kauai people
can be relied upon to support these
institutions without eXacting details
necessary in less understood causes.
The Y has issued a very attractive
report in the form of an illustrated
folder and suitable posters of infor-
nation about the boy scouts and the
school athletic league will soon ap-
pear. The amount that will be asked
for in this united drive will be $13,-
$50.

LAST SUNDAYS
SOCCER GAMES

soccer we're p1a.eu last 'uhu"y,
though the rain had somewhat of
a dampening effect OH one of them.
The Lihue-McBryde Game
The first game, between Lihue
and McBryde, , at Lihue Park,
brought joy to the hearts of the
home fans, as Lihue won a decis-
i've victory over the visiting team
by scoring one in the first periol,
and two in the second, as against
nothing for McBryde, thus glOri-
ously redeeming themselves for the
somewhat spiritless game they
played against Hawaiian the Sun
day previous.
In the first period Lihue had a
stiff wind to buck, but managed to
keep the ball in McBryde territory
most of the time. and in about
twenty minutes of play Manuel
Fernandez, with a well placed
kick, shot the ball by the goal
keeper for the first point.
In the second period McBryde
went in to even up matters, but
Lihue had pep to spare this day
and gave the visitors no chance to
score. On the other hand, Lihue
missed several shots that should
have scored goals by not taking
account of the wind and over
shooting.
Captain Hutton was the next
Lihue player to distinguish him
self by shooting goal. Lihue got
corner kick which Hutton re-
ceived and made try for goal.
The ball was intercepted, however,
but Hutton was right on his toes
and followed up with another try
which proved grand success.
About two minutes later Manuel
Fernandez covered himself with
glory by shooting his second goal
for the day.
This ended the scoring and plac-
ed Lihue in second place. Although
McBryde lost the game, they still
head the list with six points to
their credit, with Lihue close
second with five points.
This was another ideal game
from a sporting standpoint. 1t was
absolutely clean of intentional
rough play, nor was there any
dissatisfaction shown at the de
cisions of the umpire. A Siebel
umpired the game and performed
this duty in his usual excellent
manner.
The MdkdWeH-K -KdWdihdu Game
The Makaweli- game
took place at Kapaa and ended il
a tie, with no scoring done. This
was, without doubt, the hardest
fought game of the season, though
from spectacular standpoint, il
did not amount to much, as inter
D mittent showers throughout the
game made the ball wet and slip
pery-consequently very little
good kicking (Of the bal) was
done Though there was no lack OF
the verbal kind.
Makaweli was badly handicap
ped by having to play seyera
green men. On the other hand
Hawaiian put up a great scraI
and seemed to have a shade thu
better of the argument, as the!
kept the ball in the visitors terri
Q tory most of the time, though the.
could not come through with th'
necessary goal. A. Seibel als'
umpired this game.
Double Header Merit Sunday
Next Sunday there will be
double-header at Eleele. Lihu
will meet up with Makaweli at

hau will rlay at 3 30.
