Letter From Commissioner

Letter From commissioner
May 80, 1922.
Dear Scouts:
Just a little while ago the Execu-
tive Committee of the Scout Council
elected me to be your Commissioner,
and so l want to try and get into
closer connection with you and the
great things you are doing.
ut is impossible for me to get
around to your meetings as Mr.. Hut
ton does because l have a lot of other
work to attend to also. Mr.Hutton
suggests that l take a corner of our
scouts section in the Maui News"
and write you a weekly letter about
various interesting things.
81 believe this is a good scheme
and | think we can have a lot of fun
corresponding back and forth, for it is
my intention to give you a chance
to come back" at me. You know /
vas a boy myself and roamed the
city and country for miles around in
search of adventure. It's a good bet
that between us we can raise a dis
cussion on a lot of things that'n keep
the pot-a-boiling.
81 can count up a number of ques-
tions right now that will make things
hum. I'd like to hear what you boys
have to say about them too. And
the'd like to have discussed or would
like to get some advice upon he can
send it to me at Waikiki and I'll

Mapping

Some splendid maps have beel pre-
seated for examinations this week
and the scout have shown a keen in
terest in their work. X. Matsueda
of troop nine has shown exceptional
talent in his work. The map is very
neatly drawn and he has taken in a
great deal of scope.
George Leong of troop five has pre-.
sented a very good map and covered
quite a lot of territory.
This is one of the most interesting
and fascinating of the first class
tests .

Troop 6, Makawao
Meeting was called to order on
May 23rd at 1880 p. m. The troop
formed on the grass in front of the
troop house. In patrol formation they
followed the flag into the house and
repeated the scout oath and law
while standing at attention.
There were no scouts absent and
we had a dandy meeting, and all en-
joyed it because we had lots of fun.
Many of the scouts presented maps
for their first class tests. After which
the Executive and scoutmasters went
through some of the acts we are to
have at our show in June, the scouts
laughed until their sides ached.

PILOTS CLAIM
BALL00NINC is
LARGELY
Navigator Does Not Have Same
Amount of Control as in
Airplane.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 24.-tBy
the Associated Press. )-There
probably is nothing in which luck
plays SO great a part as competi-
tive aviation, for despite the rapid
strides in recent years, navigating
the air still is dependent on so
many factors that almost any pilot
in figuring his chances in race
will frankly admit that the result
is about rs per cent dependent on
the whims of the goddess of for
tune.
This is particularly true in bal
looming, where the navigator does
not have the same control over his
craft as an airplane pilot has, and
in the national balloon race which
starts from here May 80, two pilots
who are afflicted with probably the
toughest luck in aviation records
will compete. They are J. S. Nc
Kibben and Bernard Won Hoffman,
both of St. Louis, for they lost the
international Gordon Bennett bal
loon race at Brussels last year just
because the luck goddess glanced
the other way at critical moment.
Luck put them in the anomalous
position of travelling farther than
any other entry and yet losing the
race, although it is contest for

could not get into shore. We threw
out all ballast, clothes, extras-ev-
erything-but still could not get
over land. Slowly we were sinking
but it was into the sea, and thai
was where we landed. A ship pick
ed US up one mile from shore. and
this disqualified US.
Imagine our disgust when we
learned that the balloon we sighted
when figuring on landing at Bards-
ley island had landed there itself
and had won the race by so doing.
Had we landed on the island we
would have tied the winner! Had
we had mere puff of wind we
would have reached Dublin and
been an easy Winneri We travelled
farther than anyone, but landing in
the ocean disqualified us-that was
a break of luck over which we had
no control and that is why say
that luck is the biggest thing in a
race of this kind"
Mr.. McKibben has been in aFia-
ton since 1910. Won Hoffman Is
of a hallooning family, his brother
Albert and his father being aero
nauts. While a St Louisan, he was
born in Milwaukee. He had his
first trip when only 10 years old
and has flown in many national and
international races. although prob
ably the youngest pilot in the
world. He and McKfbben have

distance and not for speed This
is the way Mr.. McKibben tells it:
I'VE left Brussels about 5:45 p.
m. Sept. IS, 1921, under very I'M
favorable conditions, for a storm
was brewing and we were in the
midst of 30-miIe- wind
which carried US northwest, and in
two hours we were over Zeebrugge.
The North sea was crossed at an
altitude of $500 feet. the English
coast line being reached about 20
miles north of the Thames.
Get Bearings.
Shortly we passed over London.
By sunrise we were in northern
Wales and the Irish sea was in
sight We dropped down very low
and asked where we were and how
far it was across the sea- The farm
ers told us it was 100 miles-much
to our surprise-and we decided to
tackle it, as our rate of speed at
that time would carry us over in
five hours-placing US in the neigh
borhood of Dublin.
About $50 a. m. we crossed the
town of Aberswith, but the wind
gradually died down and at 100
a. m. we were over Bardsley island
We decided to land on this island,
but while maneuvering we caught
sight of another balloon to the
south of US. Naturally we aban-
doned all plans for landing and de-
cided not to try to come down I'M
til the other bag did. We kept sail
ing along and at 4:30 p. m we were
only a mile from the Dublin shore
only mile from sure victory IN
the worlds greatest air race, for
we were certain no other bag could
have travelled that far

WASHINGTON.-H Hungry wives and
children Of evicted miners in the New
River district of West Virginia have
found a militant friends in Miss Eliza
beth Gilman, daughter of a former pres
ident of Johns Hopkins university.
She has organized and directed vol
untary relief work that has delivered
TO these miners families more food and
clothing than has moved through any
other source.
Also she has sent plentiful medical
supplies.
But she is trying not only to relieve
suffering she is fighting to save prin.
c.ple
The real question in the West Vir-
ginia mine fields, she says, 'is not
simply whether men, women and chill
dren shall be allowed to starve. 1t is
whether or not unionism shall be
starved to death"
That, Miss Gilman believes. is also
the big question underlying the gen.
eral mine strike.
