Millions Are Added
for Hawaiian Relief
by Homes Legislation

Honolulu.-( Corresponding of The
Associated Press).-The Hawaiian
homes commission law, passed By con-
gress at its last session to help re
habilitate the dying Hawaiian race,
also will profit the territory by ST.
100000 in the next fifteen years, it
was estimated by territorial officials
Approximately S500000 annually
will accrue to the territory for this
period through releasing of govern
ment owned sugar cane fields. Thirty
per cent of this revenue will go into
a revolving fund to defray expense of
the home commission to save the
Hawaiians and the remainder will go
into the territorial treasury.
Prior to passage of the law lands in
question had been set aside for home
steading.
The lands to be leased and the in
expected from them annually
under the provisions of the law are:
Piihonua plantation, 1000 acres $15.-
600: Honomu. 500 acres. $4,000, both
on the island of Hawaii; Kekaha, 1900
acres on the island of Kauai. between
S250.000 and 100000: and Waimanal,
$50 acres on the island of Oahu, more
than $4,000.
Title to the lands will revert to the
territory after Is years.

French. we felt that Mile Lenglen

American association for expressing
the Judgment that she was playing
comedy.
Terms Too Severe
I'VE blamed Mile. Lenglen for lack
of sportsmanship, but the American
tennis officials terms were considered
too severe. We stand by com
munique given out to the press by the
American committee for devastated

having danced any evening following
any match in which she defaulted.
The report says. however, that she
did dance on other evenings because
she thought it was a good form of
training.
