poets to return to Honolulu by today's
outgoing Knau.

"kINo" sAGeoTT's NEW HOME

Our friend, King" Baggott, has
just moved into his artistic new
bungalow opposite the Garden Island
office. Chas. Fern is living with
him and they have already got the
running gear of their bachelor quar-
ters smoothly started. 1t is the
property of the Nawilwili Garage Co.
of which Mr.. Baggott is manager.
The house is the first of the low
bungalow type to appear on Kauai.
and it has created much favorable
comment on its simple, artistic lines
and economy of construction. The
main living room and dining room
combined is Is 2S feet with large
glass doors in the front and back of
the room and rows of windows
arranged in artistic order. There are
two good sized bedrooms and a
sleeping porch, together with clothes
closets and built in wardrobes. The
bathroom is the last word in modern
plumbing fixtures. while the kitchen
and convenient pantry and china
closet make up a home that is
charming and satisfying to the last
degree. The whole house is carefully
screened.
The port cochere is artistic and in
keeping with the architecture of the
house. The cemented in flower box
running the entire length of the port
cochere between the end supporting
pillars, and nesting close to the
ground, will make a most attractive
bit OF vivid color when the flowers
get growing in it. The same flower
box idea is carried out on the tops of
the gateposts at the entrance.
All the electric light fixtures and
the furniture, together with household
linens, etc, were selected at the coast
by Mr.. Baggott's sister They show
the feminine touch in artistic and
harmonious lines.
The house was designed and con.
structed by Mr., Sam Goss of Califor.
mia, who was specially secured by Mr..
Baggott for the work. It shows
ability of a high order and reflects
great credit on Mr. Goss' part.

PASMORE TRIO WILL
GIVE TWO CONCERTS

The Pasmore Trio, consisting of
Mary Pasmore, violnist, Marie sluss,
pianist, and Dorothy Pasmore, cellist,
is to give two entertainments on
Kauai The first is to be under the
auspices of the Mokihana Club at the
Tip Top Theatre Wednesday evening
March 80 and the second at the Wal
mea Hall Thursday evening March 81
This is very unusual opportunity
for the people of Kauai to hear a
musical entertainment of high quality
This Trio has made quite an enviable
reputation for itself in Europe and
on the mainland of the United States.
Rarely, indeed, does as small a place
as Kauai have the honor of entertain
ing musicians of such distinction.
The advance ticket sale indicates
that the musical will be played to a
good sized audience. Many have
already ordered their reserved seats.
There is a large number of the best
seats left, however. Reservations
may now be made for the Lihue con-
cert by calling the Lihue Store and
for the Waimea concert by calling
Hofgaard's Store or R. c. Macdonald.

Japanese Boy Killed In
Automobile Accident

Toshyuki Yama, Japanese boy IA
years of age, was killed at Hanamaulu
last Friday afternoon by being struck
by Buick car No S44, owned by Zee
Fat, Of Kapaa, and driven by Kenneth
Hee, his son.
The facts as testified to by Ken
meth Hee at the inquest were substan-
TALLY as follows: Buick car No. S44

another Chinese and a Hawaiian as

hundred yards from Hanamaulu Store
he met truck from McBryde Store
towing another truck.
Toshyuki was riding on the back
part of the truck being towed, and
jumped off just as the Buick was
about to pass. The unfortunate boy,
after jumping off the truck, stood in
the road looking toward Hanamaulu,
unaware of another machine coming
up from the rear.
Young Hee sounded his horn when
he saw the boy in front of the
machines path and swerved hard to
his left to avoid hitting him, but the
right fender struck the boy.
Kenneth Hee Immediately took the
victim in his machine and returned to
Lihue Hospital where the boy died in
about an hour. Examination Of the
body showed that the neck was broken
and that there were probably internal
injuries.
After taking the injured boy to the
hspital Hee reported the accident to
the sheriff

found that Toshyuki Yama came to
his death by an unavoidable accident.

Kapaa Notes

There is much rejoicing in the Hano
family these days, and the reason is
obvious when you are informed that
Mrs. Dan Hano gave birth to a son a
couple of weeks ago. this being the
first boy to arrive in the family, six
others, all living, being girls.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
rebuilding of the railroad bridge back
of the factory of the Hawaiian Can
neries Company. This bridge, with
another on the Kealia side of Kapaa,
collapsed during the storm in Janiary
Additional precautions are being ta-
kenin the reconstruction to prevent a
repetition of the disaster in the event
Of another severe storm.
Local followers of the screen can
have no kick coming now that pictures
are not shown often enough. Six

Shrimps are to be had in large
quantities in the stream of the Wailua
homesteads. Homesteaders up there
gave out such good stories of how the
shrimps could be caught, and where to
find them, that we fear the demand
will shortly exceed the supply, judging
by the large number of parties who
are making trips up there in quest of
these miniature members of the crust
ocean family.
DR.. X. Yanagihara has purchased
the lot and residence adjoining his
present office and residence. This
house and lot was formerly owned by
Alfred Rodrigues, who is now a res
ident of Kealia. The doctor is re-
painting and remodeling the residence
and intends to use it as a hospital in
the event of necessity.

Youths Impersonating
Officer Get $40 Fine

Monday morning a very curious
case came to trial in the Lihue Dist.
rict Court before Judge Hjorth. So
many elements of wrongdoing were
involved and mixed with a goodly
quantity of Oke, presenting as a
first class scenario of modern movie
serial No doubt the defendants had
been influenced by just such punk
pictures as a long-suffering public is
being treated to everywhere.
There were four young Hawaiians
involved and two appeared in Court
charged with larceny in the End de-
gree while the other two were wit
nesses.
Friday night the boys took in the
movies and after having tanked up on
Oke went joyriding to Huleia, where
they made several visits Under
they would have some fun with an
old Chinese, who lives nearby all by
his lonely. Arrived at the shack,
two of the quartet entered the house
and unceremoniously hauled the old
man out of his bunk and lined him up
against the wall in regular movie

mall they we're Revenue Officers look
ing for opium. A small quantity was
found and demand was made for ten
dollars bail money. Not having any
money the man so stated and after
the boys had gathered up several
articles, as pair of scissors, a horse
clipper, q razor, one bottle of soy and
pound OF butter, he was bundled into
the waiting auto and the mad mid
night ride proceeded towards Lihue
with most of the men asleep. Near
the Grove Farm blacksmith shop the
boys dumped the poor man and told
him to "hoof it" home, which he did.
The Chinese swore out a warrant
against two of the boys and they were
brought into Court. The chief often
der someway was permitted to plead
guilty and turn states evidence and
glibly told on the stand all that had
happened, blaming the remaining def
endant, who on the stand, truthfully
perhaps, stated he had been so drunk
he could not remember anything at
all. In view of the fact that the real
culprit had been allowed TO plead
guilty and escape punishment with a
13 months suspended sentence, the
Court took lenient view of the case
and merely fined the defendant ten
dollars and three dollars cost, voicing
regret that the leader had been let
off so easily and that a six months
sentence to jail would have been more
suitable for both.

Navy Seaplanes Get
Into Rough Weather

Two Navy seaplanes that flew over
from Honolulu Saturday morning
were unable to take off on their re-
turn trip Monday due to the heavy
sea that was running in Ahukini
harbor. The crews had quite a
narrowing experience as they were
forced to spend Saturday night in the
ships. They were forced to use
emergency rations and the flying
boats bobbed around on the water
like so many corks that sleep was
out of the question. They had no
blankets and used their motor covers
and life preservers instead. The
c0ckpits were so small that no one
could stretch out but were all forced
to sit cramped up and try to rest the
hest way possible.
The Eagle beat that accompanied
then. stayed outside the harbor and
ha narrow escape from piling up on
it" rocks. It was due to the fact
that the small boat from the Eagle
boat could not get to the seaplanes
that the flyers had to stay with their
ships.
Sunday the boat took the men off
after being in their ships over twenty
four hours. They were unable to
take gasoline and were forced to stay
over another day. The Eagle boat
left Ahukini and went to Port Allen
until the seas quieted.

window with Increased violence. AS
he hesitated there came a short, sharp
scream from the other side of the
door. Something had gone wrong In
there, that vas sure!
John ran from his room and out
through the hall. With his hand on
the knob of the girls door he called,
Anything the matter? Can be of
any helpf"
"Oh!" came a distressed voice, my
lovely steak It's on firel"
John pushed open the door and In
a second took in the situation. Mary
Brown stood gazing helplessly at a
miniature gas stove, whose internal
regions. like a latent volcano, sizzled
and Kissed. Black smoke poured from
an opening. did you turn off the
gas?" John asked. and In the same
breath, Give me a holder and a fork
Have a platter ready"
1t was the work of a second. The
steak, after all, was only slightly
scorched on the edges, and after res
cuing ii from the flames which
steamed up around 1t, John slammed
the oven door to, remarking that the
grease on the little tray under the
broiler would loon burn itself out and
that meanwhile he had better open q
window to clear the room of smoke.
The rain had ceased with an abrupt
ness commensurate with Its intensity.
The air was soft with the promise of
spring. A black cloud moved a frac-
ton of an Inch and revealed a silver
crescent against a background of blue.
And 1t followed as naturally as the
clearing after the storm that Mary
should ask John to stay and share the
steak which he had snatched from the
burning, and that she should receive
hat compliment upon her culinary
skill of which she had dreamed.
1t was as inevitable as spring after
winter that John Smith should expert
ence that queer sensation of having
known Mary always. and that In the
in~toxication of her presence and a
satisfying meal he should tell her so.
And as old as h young crescent moon
was the thought which filed Johns
last waking moments that night.
