HONOLULU MAY GET
VOLCANIC WATER

HONOLULU up. - Ancient lava
flows that boiled beneath these islands
under volcanic pressure provided great
tunnels which could be tapped to sup
ply Honolulu with water.
The driving of l00-foot shaft back
of Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu
would develop all the water the city
needs, according to DR.. Harold T.
Stearns geologist Of the United States
Geological Survey.
There is available a fresh water
table between 800 and 1000 feet
Deep" DR.. Steatns said.
Twenty-Five per cent of the rainfall
on this island is soaked up. spongelike,
into the porous underground lava, he
explained. When the lava cooled it
remained virtually intact. Ridges
along the surface of the lava coils act
as dykes underneath the ground,
holding a constantly replenished sup
ply of fresh water, he said.

GIVE 'EM A LIFT.
Some of the merchants are irwin o.
To get something started i'm the wav
OF some decorations i'm the shoppinp
district for Christmas. Well. that's
what there ought to be. and every
business house on main street ought
to chip in on that program. It's no
use for anybody to say it can't be
done-it can. Can't nobody ever again
say Henderson can't do anything it
wants TO do, if il wants to do it bad
enough That was proved in that
Greater Henderson celebration last
month Some turned upttheir noses al
mat, and said they wouldn't be anv-
thing worth shaking a finger at but
when $1,000 folks, plus the governor
and one United States senator and =
congressman, and a lot Of other folks
came here. a lot of eyes were rubbed
and a lot Of folks woke up.
Nav, sir, don't ever say again we
can't do what we want to do here ir
this town. Everybody here knows we
can.
Now, as for this Christmas stuff
it's just q question Of whether we
want 10 or not. 1t can be made a big
thing for the town
Ii does look like a pity the way the
world has come to commemorative
Christmas, especially we folks here in
the good old u. S. A Most business
folks depend on the fan and Christ
mas trade to stay in business tho rest
of the year; at least it spells the diff
ference @rtween profit and loss And
since that's the established order of
things We might as well make the
most of it. Then, why not mix little
religion with business? Ii can't do H.,
much harm
Sure thing, if we make our main
street attractive and fix it so il will
verify breathe the spirit Of Christ
mas, it's going TO get a lot of folks
in the same sort OF feeling. And that
won't hurt the business house thats
got something 10 sell.
Back there in October. when we put

let up. But he saw in a neighbor's
paper where something was offered
that he could have bought and saved
himself $25 if he'd just known about

had been taking the paper. SO he was,
going to take it from now on and not

PEER SURRENDERS RIGHT
TO DIE BY THE SWORD

STOCKHOLM R.-When Axel
Gyllenkrok, q national bank ofncial.
recently told the government he
wished to relinquish privileges as .
nobelman granted his family in 1874,
he resigned illusionary rights.
The only privilege left 10 Swedish
nobility is the right to be executed
with o sword instead Of q broad-axe,
and that has been dormant since abo-
lition of the death penalty several
years ago.
Gyllenkrok's resignation, which
probably can't be accepted, is the sec
ond In history. In 1900 Hans Hierta,
radical-minded peer, spectacularly
resigned his rank at q session of Par
lament.
