British Aroused
Over American
Legion Resolution

HONOLULU March 3-Implying
that intimidation and discrimination
lg2inSt alien residents of the Terri
tory are intended by the American
Legion in one of the resolutions
adopted by the territorial convention
last week, William Massey Royds, Brit
lsh consul at Honolulu. has written
letter to Col. Curtis p. Iaukea, acting
governor, asking what he intends to
do in the way of an investigation. In
his letter to the acting governor, the
consul states that he has also taken
the matter up with the British diplo-
matte office at Washington.
The resolution which has aroused
the concern of the consul is that in
which the American Legion goes on
record as opposing the employment by
business concerns of the Territory of
aliens who have made their perman-
ent residence here and yet have shown
no desire nor determination to become
American citizens.
Consul Royds declined to discuss
he matter when an interview was
sought with him. Col. Iaukea, when
seen, stated that he was writing to
the commander of the Legion asking
for information on the charges of in
timidation or discrimination that
might lead to international compli-
cations.
Commander j. X. Butler has not re-
ceived Col Iaukea's letter, but he said:
"The intention of the Legion is to
stand behind firmly and unequivoe-
ally, every principle as set forth in
the resolutions adopted by the conven-
tion last week. The Legion does not
intend to take any illegal steps in any
direction. The resolution to which the
British cOnsul-general refers is re-
sponsive to the sentiment of the Am
erican Legion and we will stand be-
hind ii to man.
mo one whose conscience is clear
has anything to fear from the Legion.
We are not Klu KluX Klan nor are
We the exclusive patriotic organization
in America, but we believe in Ameri-
can principles and in American pa
| triotism In adopting this resolution
we are manifesung the attitude which
exists in all countries in regard to
resident aliens.
But let it be understood, flatly and
firmly that the American Legion is
American from top to bottOxn Dad
from side to side and it will hew to
the line-let the chips fall where they
may"

ICE TUMBLERs AND PITCHERS

Have you ever taken a drink from
an ice tumbler? This iceware is very
attractive and keeps its contents at
Just the right temperature. The only
utensils required will be mold of
some kind and core or central piece.
These molds must be of some mater
ial other than glass, since freezing
water will crack it. A tin, or alumni
UNI measure such as you will find
about the house, or in any hardware
store, will be just the thing. The
core may consist of another measure
or similar mold, but slightly smaller
A circular block of wood which will
just fit into the cup will answer, 1t
will be worth while to have such a
core turned specially for this purpose
The core should fit into the outer
mold leaving a space of not less than
one-QuarteT of an inch at the bottom
and sides. Across the top of the core
attach a stick which will rest on the
upper edge, keeping the core in the
desired position. Now fill the mold
with water and set away to freeze
solidly. If it is in the winter time
this is, of course, a very simple matter
Ii you chance to be near a refrigerat-
ing plant of any kind the iceware may
be manufactured throughout the year.
When the form is frozen sOlidly
plunge it for a moment in warm wa
ter, when the core may be pulled out
and the ice tumbler lossened from the
mold.-Boys' Life for February.

Dry Weather Again
Worrying Farmers

Concern is again beginning to be
felt by plantations and other agricul-
turists on account of the dry weather,
With the exception of local showers
there has been no rain on any part of
Maui for more than month, during
most of which time strong trade winds
have tended to dry up what little mols-
ture did fall. In the pineapple district
the drought is beginning to cause
uneasiness, not so much from the
present need of the crop for moisture
as from the fear that the long dry
spell may presage a wet summer
which will interfere with the harvest
ing Of the big crop in June and July
