MAUI POST TO
PUSH FORWARD
LABOR NEEDS
Delegates Leave for Hilo on
Eagle Boat This Morning
With Only One Definite
and Concerted Purpose.

Ten delegates from Maui Post No.
ton today aboard an Eagle boat.
They boarded the vessel this morning
and Joined the delegations from Oahu.
Those making up the Maui party are
]. a. Gibb who heads the delegation.
W. A. Robbins, Paul Lada, William
Engle, Paul II. Townsley, II. H. Wong,
Jimmy Lewis, w. w. G Moir, d. tia
mura, II. y. Wong and R. S. Ho.
Mauis delegates go prepared TO in
troduced and urge with all energy the
passage of resolution on the labor
shortage of the Territory which is
very much in line with the one which
was passed by Maui Post No. sew
eral weeks ago. The new resolution,
however, covers the recent assertion
of National Adjutant Lemuel Bowles
of the Legion that the organization
is not in favor of the remedial legis-
lation now pending in congress, said
in dispatches to have been made to
the house immigration committee. IL
says that his assertions probably re-
suited from his being uniformed or
misinformed on the subject IL is eX-
pected that Maui will certainly have
the support of Kauai and probably of
Oahu in its efforts to secure strong,
clear utterance from the posts OF the
Hawaia department in convention.
Since the passage of the Maui reso-
lutions Kauai Post adopted similar
resolution, framed in practically the
same language. In Honolulu there
has been no action taken, the report
ed reason being that it was deemed
advisable to let the matter come be-
fore the convention and be decided at
that time but ii is also reported that
the sentiment in the Honolulu post
is Cor endorsement of the congresslon-
al resolution. On the Big Island the
resolution was taken up and was
tabled on the grounds that thu sub
ject was one with which the legion
should not NEEDLE. Monday night Hilo
Post went on record as opposing the
bringing in of Chinese labor and its
delegates to the convention were in
structed to act in accordance with
such declaration. On receipt of this
news ]. A. Glib decided to attend the
convention.
Aside from the subject of labor leg
islation Maui Post delegates have no
particular measures which they desire
to put to the front though standing
strongly for the carrying out of a
well outlined and progressive Ameri-
canization policy. On hte subject of
soldiers bonuses, it is said the pot
is divided in opinions

ATHLETICS TO
BE CONDUCTED
in MAUI SCHOOLS
Plans Worked Out for All
Grades From First Up; ISL
and Ahead of Mainland in
Combining Health Teaching

Athletics and health training will be
a feature of work in the graded
schools of Maui as well as the high
school in accordance with plans that
were approved Wednesday afternoon
by the commissioner of public in
struction and the superintendent of
schools and Wednesday evening by
the Athletic Committee of the Maui
County Fair and Racing Association
1t is understood that it also has the
approval of the Superintendent of pub
lie Instruction and is long step for
ward, even in advance Of mainland
schools where athletics and bealtn
training have not yet been combined
though introduced separately.
Value is Seen
For months past the project has
been worked out, back in June Mr.
Childs having reported to the Athlat-
ic Committee that the subject would
be ready for presentation Mt later
date. 1t is to be started in schools of
Central and East Maui and extended
to all the schools of the Island as
rapidly as possible. The work will
be made part of the school require
ments by the department OF public
instruction and will be connected up
with the Athletic Committee through
its sub-chairman, Mr.. Childs. The
subcommittee, in addition to the
chairman will be Miss Seibert, II. w.
Wells, the boys worker of the Settle
ment and Joseph H. Gray. Miss Sci
bert, who has had seven years of ex-
perience in Battle Creek, Michigan,
has been instrumental in working up
a detailed program, to certain ex-
tent tentative, but workable from the
start
Program Worker Out
Beginning with the first grade GER
tain simple games are started in
which there will be spirit of compe-
tition and the children will be award
ed points for their proficiency. AS
they advance in the grades they come
into volley ball, indoor baseball, bas-
ketball, accuracy throwing, sprint run
ming, jumping and others sports and
leading up into baseball. soccer and
American football. At the same time
the children will be told how to con-
serve and improve their health with
the incentive of excelling in sports by
following such teachings.
Funds Needed
There is no fund in the schol monies
for this purpose though one was ask
ed of the legislature at the last ses-
sion and so the wherewithal must he
obtained from other sources. It is
estimated that it will cost for sport
equipment an average of about $50 a
school and request for financial as
sistance will be made at the next meet
ing of the board of supervisors. The
committee will have the support of
the department of public instruction
and the Athletic Committee in asking
for funds and will seek the support
of the Chamber of Commerce and its
endorsement of its requests at the
meeting of the chamber next Thurs,
day.

Fair Racing.

Rock Island, Ill, Oct 20.-Editor
Argus: The American public loves
a good winner-the fellow who
gives US his best and accepts his
laurels quietly and without con-
ceit And it has equal love for the
good loser-the dead game sport
who gives US his best, yet acknowI-
edges defeat with grin and a
handshake for the better man. But
it has absolutely no use for the
fellow who is determined to win by
fair means or foul, who takes an
unfair advantage and pretends that
his victory is as great as that of a
man who wins by playing square.
At the St. Eloy driving track
Sunday afternoon a motorcycle
race for stock machines was stag
ed. AS the machines lined up at
the scratch, it was observed that
there was a racing machine among
the number, which was, by all the
rules and regulations governing
such a race, obviously unfair to
the other entrants. There was con-
siderable grumbling among the
spectators about the unfairness of
this arrangement. but no open pro-
test was made, the audience think
ing that the riders should protest
and the riders feeling that some
one not interested should say some
thing. OF course the racing ma
chine won!
Would you. an American sports
man, with good, red blood in your
veins, pay your money to see d
race for Fords pulled off, and stand
calmly by while a Packard entered

wouldn't!
This is not the first time that

of clean craftsmanship, let US hope
that it will be the last!
