mence training within a reasonable
time after notice has been sent such

be longer than twelve months after
the passage of this Act for persons
declared eligible and noti-
fed TO begin training. and twelve
months after notice is given for per-
sons hereafter declared eligible and

Welfare Bureau Proposed.

Provision of recreation facilities for workers by
the government, favored by President Harding and
Postmaster General Hays and other officials received
further Endorsement last week when Secretary Of La
Dor Davis disclosed some OF the provisions of bill
tentatively drawn calling for the establishment Of
Bureau of Recreation in his Federal branch.
Not only would the bureau sponsor such in
stitutions baseball, boxing field and track sports
and the movies among workingmens communities, but
would go far to aid in the production Of plays
and pageants, utilizing latent home talent. Secretary
Davis last week held conferences with Percy Mackaye
and John Golden, welknown pageant stager and
tor in respect the feasibility of such innovations.
Davis believes that Farrars Bernhards Robert Man
tells and Frank Tinneys languish unknown in many
industrial ceners only waiting the proper utelage and
encouragement to blossom forth into celebrities
Under the terms of the measure, subject to re-
vision is the recommendation that the office OF Pro-
hibiton Commissioner be transferred from the Treas
ury the Labor Department The idea is that there
should be recreationa facilities sponsored which will
make up to the worker for the loss of his beer and
wines.

Chinese Trade Act Approved.

CECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES and Secre-
- tary OF Commerce Hoover have approved the
China trade act and have written letters urging
Congress to enact il into law early as possible.
The bill is designed to place American business in
China competitive basis with the business
OF Great Britain France and Japan. Prior to the Eu-
ropean war the American business houses in China
were forced, because of the inadequacy OF laws,
to incorporate their companies under the British law
In 1918 the British amended the law require
that majority OF the directors and effective
tiyes Of such companies be British subjects In
sequence, a number of enterprises established by
Americans have lost their positions and the control of
business created and owned by themselves. and
citizens have lost the trade in supplies and machinery
The proposed act is to offer form of corporation
law that would rank with the British law in its pro-
lection stockholders and would give American bus
in China prestige which it does not enjoy
The law would also provide freedom from United
States taxes upon such part OF the business as is
wholly conducted in China and outside the United
States.

Championship of
Gridiron Hinges
On Sunday Game
Committee Decides That Two
Out of Three Shall Settle
Supremacy; Marines Invit-
ed Over For Two Games.

Football championship of Maui will
be decided Sunday afternoon at $50
when Wailuku meets Paia on the local
gridiron. AT a meeting of the football
committee Tuesday evening it was de.
cided that the supremacy OF the
gridiron shall be decided by the best
two out of three games. Each
team has been returned victor in one
contest, Paia winning the first game
40, and Waikiki nosing out the Ma
rooms in the second fray 80. =
Lineups Little Changed
The coming contest will be as tough
a battle of wits and muscle as has
ever been seen in any line of sport
on Maui, according to reports from
both the Blue" and Maroon stamp
ing grounds and the lineups Will re-
main practically the same as two
weeks ago when fans from all of Maui
Witnessed the spectacular defeat of
Paia by a single goal from the field.
Both elevens have been training to
their utmost in the past week for the
coming contest and rumors say that
Paia will have an edge on the Blues
by reason of their rest on last Sunday.
On the other hand the Waikiki root
ers contend that her victory over Pun
meme was splendid practice, is conclu-
sive evidence of the improvement of
the local squad and are confident of a
victory although looking forward to a
hard fought game.
Marines May Appear
Another matter Of vital importance
to Maui's football fans taken up by
the football committee was the pro
posed bringing here of the Marines
aggregation from Pearl Harbor. Word
had already been received that they
wished to play here on Thanksgiving
Day, as they expected to be going TO
Hilo at that time 10 meet a team from
Hawaii. The committee decided to
ask them to come, should they be
willing to play two games here meet
ing Paia in one game and Waikiki in
the other. Should they accept the
offer, the Maui team winning the
championship Sunday afternoon will
have the choice of first or second APP
pearance against them here. The first
game will be played on Thanksgiving
Day, November "a, and the second
on either Saturday the Goth or Sunday
the 9th.
Should the Marines come to Maui,
the following program is announced;
Sunday, November 20, 3:30-Wailu-
