Conditions in counties of the
State vary, some having a large
percentage of homes with such
equipment and others having
practically none. The reports
have indicated that in all counties
there is need for more equipment

Competitor Among
Maui Schools Keen

AT the Fair last week the competi-
ton among the class A. schools, the
larger institutions was keener than
ever before, especially between the
three leaders, Paia, Wailuku and Ka-
mehameha III. Waikiki was keenly
disappointed when the award was an
nounced as it had fully expected to
the last moment to capture the blue
rlbbon and the cup and finally fell
back to second by a scant two points.
AS heretofore stated Kamehameha III
was handicapped since its proposed
exhibit had been inadvertently des.
troyed in the summer vacation and
a new principal had to compile a
complete new exhibit.
In Glass B., Hamakuapoko was so
far ahead of the other schools that
there was practically no competition
for first award.
Halehaku, though practically out
in the wilderness" up Peahi way is
always a go-better. 1t made a fine
showing last year, again in the school
garden contests last spring it was
one of the leaders under adverse cir
cumstances and last week it won the
cup for Glass c., schools. Honokowai
had an easy win in Glass D., and a
surprise came when Koele school of

scout problems as they stand today?
Hundreds of boys are now in the
movement and hundreds more are an

After n year of hard work, Maui
has n registered troops with a
membership totaling 226 scouts.
There has been no attempt to rush
matters or to get big numbers of
boys into the movement so as to
make a good showing. The work has
been carefully planned and only a
small start made in each community
where a scout master could be found
and a troop committee organized.

the above is the result. Now What"

the same question. The answer was
why Baden Powell of course The
quick retort was well why don't you
tell your scouts that" Pop was fab

promised to make up the deficit at

Motorization of the city street clean

pressed at the meeting Wednesday
night. The organization believes that
because of the bond issues of nearly
100000 to be put on the market for
light plant improvements and the Sew
enth street sewer system, further
issues should be deferred until later.
They are not. however, opposed to
motorization, itself.

ter to contribute the money toward the
erection of a county memorial building
which could be used as a community
center.
The armory, they contend. could be
used for nothing else, while a memoir

MURRAY
A tottering old miner with the CLINT
of money-madness in his dim eyes was
made happy through an incident which
occurred in the filming of "Two Kinds
of Love- the, Universal photo-drama
which is now playing at the Murray
Theatre.
The screen story concerns the gold
rush of 1870 when ten thousand men
swarmed up through San Gabriel Can
yon in Southern California seeking
gold.
When the yellow fever" of gold
hunting subsidized and the thousands
drifted to other bonanzas. this old
miner was left. Then we'll advanced
in years he refused to believe that
the rocky canyon did not hold untold
wealth in gold. Half mad, he hid
away in the canyon and scratched at
the unyielding surface of the earth
for the metal that would make him
wealthy.
In later years people have establish
ed mountain homes in the canyon and
the old man is well cared for; yet he
believes that he has purchased his
independence by the occasional yellow
stone which he tears from the breast
of the mountain and considers gold
For some of the most dramatic
scenes for 1.-TWO Kinds of Love-
Reaves Eason, the Universal director
took his company into the canyon.
He encountered the old man. The
story required a jar of gold nuggest
For the purpose pellets of lead were
gilded and placed in a fruit jar.
Seeing the jar for the first time the
old miner shouted:
Il remember now. buried that jar
thirty years ago. Give me my gold!"
Knowing that the old fellows wants
are cared for by the settlers in the
canyon, Eason allowed him to harbor
his halucination and gave him the
glittering metal.
