Senator Rice advises us, as
coming from the Governor, that
we must begin right away to work
for an additional appropriation
for the Nawiliwili Harbor work.
1t is a slow matter securing
such an appropriation and we
ought to have it in hand early
to make sure of the continuity of
the work. Otherwise there is
apt to be serious loss of equip
ment, supplies, labor, etc, to say
nothing of the prolonged hard
ships and inconvenience.
1t is none too soon to start

NEAR EAST RELIEF
ORGANIZES ON kauai

DIR. Loyal Lincoln Writ, direct
or of the relief expedition to the
Near East, has made very hasty
visit to Kauai, arriving on Friday
and returning Saturday to Homo
lulu. He had time however, to
deliver five. very earnest and
pointed lectures on the subject of
the Near East famine sufferers.
This has seemed sufficient to get
action from Kauai. The good
people of the Garden Island have
not yet failed to do their part
either before, during or since the
war in speedily furnishing succor
to the needy.
The Island is thoroughly organ
lied for this latest drive, as fol-
lows: Rev. r. w. Bayless Island
Chairman; Frank Crawford, Is
land treasurer; Miss katherine
Mcintyre Chairman, Lihue; Mrs.
Waterhouse and Mrs. Cropp, KO-
loa; Mrs. Frank Alexander, Eleele
Mr.. Brandt, Waimea, dist. chair
man; Makaweli, Mrs. B. d. Bald
win, Mrs. Dunn; Waimea, Mrs. c.

Cox; Kekaha, Mrs. VIM. Danford,
Mrs. JAS. Donald; Kapaa and Kill
auea, Mrs. Katherine Larsen ;
Hanalei, Miss Cook, Rev. David
Kaaimoku.
Lihue has already responded
with over $4,000 and other places
from reports are following suit
with corresponding generosity,
Kauai High School is reported to
have subscribed over $500.

KAUAI DANCES TO JAZZ

The visit OF Johnny Mobiles
musicians has given the dancing
public Of Kauai an opportunity
to trip the light fantastic to a
real, hOnest-tO-gOOndess jazz
band. The band gave dances at
Waimea Friday night, at Lihue
on Saturday night and at Eleele
last night; all of which were well
attended and greatly enjoyed.
They appeared on the Tip Top
program Sunday night and rem
dered several selections that were
greatly enjoyed by the audience.
w. M. Mullin is the man re
sponsible for getting the band to
Kauai and it is to be hoped that
he will bring them over again in
the near future.

Kapaa Notes

A local Korean, who had been
employed in a tailor shop, was
sent to Honolulu on Saturday
charged with being a little luny
in his upper story. Officer Isaac
Kaiu was given a chance to visit
Honolulu in charge of the man.
Iuen Kee Cafe was the scene
of much noise and good times on
Saturday evening. AS already
announced, the proprietor conclu-
ded his program of entertaining
his friends before his departure
for China. AT the Yin Wo Soc
iety.at Waipouli on Sunday, Yuen
KEGS friends gave in his honor,
another dinner, to which about
seventy-five guests were invited.
Chas. Lienau of the Kauai Drug
Co. has joined the Kealia golf en-
thusiasts, who hold sessions" at
Wailua several times a week.
Hurrah for Charley, and may he
uphold the honor of Kapaa town
in the game which even such fam
GUS persOnages as John ID. Rookie
feller and President Wilson are
ardent devotees.
DR.. Elton B. Jones, Chiroprac-
tor, at present practicing his pro.
fession in rather crampe1 tempor-
ary quarters adjoining the Kauai
Drug Company, will share the
offices of DR.. Sau zee Chang in
the new building, which ought to
be ready for occupancy by March
1st at the very latest.
Two of the Federal Income Tax
experts were here ON Saturday at
the Bank of Kauai, and judging
from whatever information could
be picked up from observing the
proceedings, Kapaa hOmesteaders
are not so very far behind when
it comes to contributing towards
the support of Uncle Sans var
iOus activities.
We read with interest that Mr..
ChillingwOrth has received letters
from the Asahisa nd Waikikis,
both of whom would like to visit
Kauai during the Fourth OfJuly.
Without in the least meaning to
be impOlite or impertinent, would
like to ask: Isn't it about time
that some Honolulu team invite
one of our teams to play there
instead of us doing all the invit-
ing year after year and never re-
ceiving even a hint of a possible
invitation to go elsewhere?

The wedding reception and luau
given by Senator and Mrs. j. H.
COney at their home at Niumalu,
Lihue, in honor of the marriage
OF their daughter Katherine to
MIR. A. G. Hutton, last Tuesday
evening, was a most enjoyable and
successful social event.
Senator Coney, stationed out
side the door, greeted the guests
as they arrived and passed them
on into the house where the gra-
cious hostess presented them to
the happy young couple.
The bride was dressed in a
simple white frock and carried a
bouquet of roses. She was al
together charming and lovely.
The couples new home was
open to inspection, and before
supper the guests went to view it
and the bountiful array of lovely
wedding gifts which were on dis
play there. The little cottage is
just big enough for two and is
full of things to delight the heart
of bride.
AT about eight the luau was
served. And such feast as it
was! Everything complete from
pig to cocoanut pudding and ice
cream and cake.
Music was furnished throughout
the meal by Malina's orchestra.
The whole affair was delightful.
The host of friends who were
gathered from near and far, num-
bered in the neighborhood of 200.

of them. The surveying and sub
division of them would take many
months. When that was actually
in hand would be time enough to
take the matter up. Further.
more that would be within the
province of the Board of Educa.
ton in Honolulu. They doubt
less had some plans in mind for
the school site, or would have,
and would make satisfactory pro-
vision for it.
Chamber Helps in Park
Insurance Fund
DR.. Waterhouse, on behalf of
the Trustees of Kukui-o-lOnO park,
begged for the assistance of the
Chamber in the matter of the in.
surance fund for the benefit of
the Park.
He explained that after one
payment had been made, the policy
was allowed to lapse, the burden
of carrying it being too great.
Now however the Plantation cor
pOratiOns in Honolulu had come
through with about three quarters
of the necessary payments to
carry the burden for a term of
five years. This put the matter
in an entirely new light, and ii
seemed exceedingly desirable to
take advantage of this offer and
secure this great benefit by max.
ing up the balance. On this
basis committee had solicited
contributions, and had been very
successful so that over the top
was now in sight. He suggested
that if the Chamber would make
an annual grant for five years of
500, it would settle the matter
and make complete success of
the enterprise. This was imme-
diately granted by unanimous
resolution, and the Treasurer was
authorized to make the necessary
payments.
Cornerstone Day for the
Bredka1ater
Mr.. Il. c. Hopper called atten-
tiOn to the fact that after long
years of hopeful waiting the Nav.
iliwili Harbor project was now
under way. This was one of the
biggest and most significant
things that have ever come to
Kauai and we should recognize it
as such. Thus far, of course, the
work is sort of preliminary, but
when they get down to actually
placing the rock in the Breakwat
er we should declare a big holiday
and gather there in force, and eel
citrate the event with suitable ex,
ercises. This suggestion met
with the favor of the meeting and
a motion to that effect was car.
ried unanimously.
Press Congress to Kauai
Mr.. Hopper related that he had
recently returned from a prelim
mary press meeting in Honolulu
called to take action in regard to
the Worlds Press Congress that
is to be held on these Islands
next October, 4th to 14th. This
great congress was to consist OF
at least 400 representatives from
all over the world and including
no less than 40 languages: il
would be an event the like OF
which has never been known OF
these Islands; it will be of meal
culable value to the Islands il
the way of publicity, since eacl
one of these delegates will, W,
hope, be an enthusiastic booster
for Hawaii. Provision is bein.

The regular February meeting

held last Thursday at Waimea.
With some little delay a quorum

three to spare for good measure.

Following the reading of the
minutes of the last meeting, under
the head of reports of committees
j. NJ. Lydgate reported for the
Parks Committee that he had re-
Gently discussed the setting aside
of some 35 acres or so at the
mouth of the Wailua River with
Mr.. G. 7. Bailey, the Land Com
missioner. Mr.. Bailey was in
favor of doing so, but requested a
statement in the form of letter,
setting forth the reasons and need
for such park. Mr.. Lydgate
had written such letter, which
he proceeded to read. Before
forwarding the letter, however, he
wished to secure the approval of
the Chamber and their cOOpera.
ton in the request contained
therein, that the tract be set a.
side for park purposes. This ap-
roval and cooperation had been
given by the Board of Supervisors
the Kauai Historical Society, and
the Hui Hele Loa Outing Club.
This request was Immediately
granted and a motion to that ef-
feet was unanimously passed.
Waimed-Kekahd Needs Park
In this connection, Mr.. G. b.
Hofgaard suggested to the Parks
Committee that steps be taken to
secure suitable park for the Wal
mea- -Kekaha region. The Kekaha
Lands would be open in a few
months and this was the time to
secure park reservation. He
recommended a site between Wal.
mea and Kekaha so that it would
be easily available to both COM
munities, perhaps opposite Dan
fOrd's. 1t was sandy land and
not much good for anything else,
but just the place for a park,
background, etc. This suggestion
met with general favor, and the
Parks Committee will act accOr-
dinghy.
Kekaha School Wqnts More. Land
Mr.. +. III. Pugh, vocational in
structOr for Kauai, called atten,
ton to the great need there is at
Kekaha for the extension of the
school grounds for recreation, ag'
ricultural and general community
purposes, etc, The present school
site was most unsuitable, it was
only a bed of sand that wouldn't
raise white beans.
They ought to have a tract of
really good land for school gar
dens, park and community center
He thought that immediate action
should be taken to secure this
and that Legislature should be
memorialized in the matter.
Time Enough When
Lands are Settled
Mr.. Brandt called attention to
the fact that there was no need to
go to the Legislature with mat
ter like that. The Governor and
the Land Commissioners had full
authority to act without referring
to the Legislature. He though
however that there was no grear
rush in the matter. The Kekaha
lands were not open yet, and it
would be a long time before am

Safeguarding Radium
Gift to Madame Curie

New York, June 19-Unusual pre.
cautions have been taken for the
safety of a small mahogany box
which will rest in the treasure vault
of the steamer Olympic when she
leaves here June Is for Southampton
and Cherbourg. Within 100 pounds
of wood, lead and steel will be a
quantity of radium-the size of a
peanut. Its potential energy, if re-
leased at once, would lift the 46 OOO
ton ship and her cargo and passer-
gers out of the water to destruction.
During the voyage it is calculated
that a small percentage of~this en-
ergy will escape it's bonds, DESPITE
the care taken to confine it, without
danger to the passengers or the ship.
The box contains the gramme OF
radium presented to Nine. Curie on
behalf of the women of the United
States by President Harding. In its
center are several small compart-
ments of lead surrounded BY steel.
each one containing a small tube of
the radium salts. The compart-
ments are encased in a sealed shell
of lead one and a half inches thick
and outside of that is a casing of
steel one inch thick
Madame Curie. with her two
daughters will accompany the ra-
dunn on the Olympic.
