CLUB
TO AC!
The Knuai Automobiles Club has
brought a film to this Island that
should prove of much Borvlcb to the
general public. The name of the
plcturo Is "Careless America." It
shows very graphically- the dangers
that await the careless motorist and
the damage ho may do to himself
and others by thoughtlessness and
neglect. It also shows the dangers
that confront the "skygazers" who
walk "catty-cornered" across the
streets with never a look up and
down the road to seo whether motors
are approaching or not.
The plcturo was shown to a large
crowd at the Tip-Top theater In Li
hue, Saturday night. It was run at
Hanamaulu Sunday night and Kealia
last night. It will bo shown at Ma
kaweli tonight (Tuesday) and at Kil
auea tomorrow night.
Tho picture was brought to Kauai
by tho Kauai Automobile club with a
very definite purpose In mind. That
purpose is to help mako motoring
tho safe business or pleasure that It
should be. President H. D. Sloggett
secured tho film from tho Honolulu
Automobile club and has had it
shown as an extra, free, educational
attraction at tho places named.
Going around the corners at a high
speed Is a very dangerous practice
tho picture shows. This equally
true where tho road cannot be seen
around tho corner and when no warn
ing Is given by a good, loud horn.
This foolish practice takes a large
number of lives and does thousands
of dollars worth of damage every
year. This lesson should go homo
to Kauai people especially, because
there are many turns In our roads
and In a number of places it is im
possible to see any distance ahead.
Railroad trains take a heavy toll
of lives when they hit heedless driv
ers, too. Of course, we do not have
the big transcontinental trains that
menace drivers on the mainland, but
we do have cane trains that have a
mean habit of shooting across tho
road. And this is-often done with
little warning. Cane trains are riot
very big but they can kill careless
motorists if they hit them squarely.
The Hawaiian Sugar company at
Makaweli is especially to bo congrat
ulated on the stand it has taken for
years In regards to locomotives stop
ping before crossing any public road.
The train comes to a dead stop. A
brakeman runs across the road to
warn any approaching vehicle Then
the engine proceeds. It is needless to
say that no lives aro going to be
lost at that place.
Skids caused by fast or heedless
driving on wet streets also causes
many accidents. Tho picture shows
how easily a car may bo overturned
may crash into people, other cars,
or objects when skidding. Skidding
can't always be prevented but a very
large per cent of it can, if tho motor
ist is careful.
Tho Hawaiian skies are beautiful.
Tho other side of tho street, is of
course, always tho most attractive.
But these really aro not good rea
sons for pedestrians ambling across
a street or road without looking a
bout to seo If cars' are approaching.
Tho person that is guilty of such
carelessness Is qulto likely io wake
up and find himself in a hospital
almost any day.
Tho Automobile club has done a
good thing in bringing this film to
Kauai. And it is greatly to be hoped
that tho general public will pay more
attention to tho lessons it teaches.
A number of complaints have been
entered by automobile club members
of careless and heedless driving on.
our main roads. Club members who
witnessed such tilings have reported
them through the complaint offices
to the sheriff. As tho occasion may
demand these people have been fined
or warned. With a large numbor
of people on tho lookout for such,
heedless driving should cease.
DOLLINGERS MOVE TO
HIGH SCHOOL COTTAGE
Professor Forest Dollinger and his
isister. Mrs. Frances Miller, aro
now settled in their now homo at
the high school. Tho house has had
a coat or two of interior painting
and is now in first class condition.
Mr. Dollinger's furnlturo arrived on
Friday morning from Honolulu.

AMERICAN LEGION
BACKS LABOR BILL
Kauai was well represented at
the big American Legion convention
held in Hilo on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of last week. Adrian
Englohard of Llhuo was elected vice
commander from the Kauai chap
tor. Other Kauai delegates -were
Philfp nice, Sam Carter Charles
Fern, Henry Aki and A S. Bush.
A number of very important mat
ters were taken up by tho Legion,
tho mo3t important of which was
tho Importation of labor bill. The
Hilo post had declared boforo the
convention convened that it was op
posed to tho Importation of Chinese
laborers into Hawaii. It swung ar
ound to tho general convention style
of thinking and the whole Hawaiian
American Legion now backs the la
bor bill to the limit.
Governor Wallaco R. Farrlngton
made a very spirited address to
the convention urging tho whole
hearted backing of tho labor project.
His speech is said to have had
much influence In causing tho Hilo
chapter to change their policy. Tho
governor said:
"Tho resolution was framed and
presented to tho executive officers
of tho government before it went to
Congress," said tho governor. "Tho
President and secretary, of labor
can decide what nationality shall be
admitted, whether Portuguese Span
ish, Chinese, Australian or Kamchat
ka. "A serious situation In territorial
finances was pointed out by tho gov
ernor when ho said that because of
the emergency in Hawaii's indus
tries, plus the labor shortage, tho
territory will receive only $500,000
In Income taxes this year against
$3,000,000 last year.
"If- our big industries have no in
come, larger real and personal prop
erty taxes must be lovied," declared"
tho governor. "It is not a pleasant
prospect. We have enough money
to run tho territorial government
until January without worrying. Af
ter that it will bo fifty per cent
worry and tho following year all
worry."
Governor Farrlngton added: "Tho
people should stand behind tho ac
tion of tho legislature on tho labor
bill. No apprehension need bo suf
fered In supporting tho measure.
Hawaii can rest assured of good
judgment on tho part 01 the particu
lar friend of Hawaii, President
Harding."
PLANS ASKED FOR
WAR MEMORIAL
J. R. Gait of Honolulu, secretary
of tho War Memorial Commission, is
sending a territory-wldo invitation to
Hawaiian architects to compete in
plans for the new war memorial
building that Is to bo constructed
in Honolulu as a memorial to Ha
waii's heroes who died in tho great
war. Only American architects will
bo allowed to compote.
Any American architect who wish
es to enter this competition should
send his name to Mr. Gait at tho
Hawaiian Trust Co., in Honolulu. A
questionairo will then be sent to
each contestant and he will bo re
quired to answer a number of ques
tions before being given tho com
petitive program.
The last legislature appropriated
a largo amount for tho construction
of this memorial. A handsome prizo
is to bo given tho architect whoso
plans aro finally accepted. It will bo
well worth tho tlmo of any Kauai
architect to compete in this con
test. JUDGE ACHI GETS
SALARY BOOSTED
Judgo AVilliam C. Achi, along with
all tho other circuit judges of Ha
waii, begins this month to got a
higher salary. Ono of tho clauses of
tho Rehabilitation Bill is that tho
circuit judges get their salary boost
ed from $4,000 to $0,000 a year.
Wo Imagine that Judgo Achi Is go
ing to bo so happy over that clauso
that ho won't flno another person for
u month.
