ALL TABLEAUX AND SOLOS
PLEASE THE ENTIRE
AUDIENCE
Tho over new and wondprful
Btory of the birth of .esus of Naza
reth In Bethlehem was told last
night nt th'u Lllnio Armory by a
series of tableaux. More than 800
people crowded Into tho armory and
the annual Christmas production far
exceeded all the audience's fondest
expectations.
Tho singing of the Christmas car
ols by the entire audience was an
added touch and to help those whose
memories had failed them, the words
wore flashed on the screen. All join
ed In singing tho sweet old melodies
that have como to be a very part
of Christmas itself.
Tho first tableu represented the
prophets and tho prophecy according
to Isaiah, was read by Thomas
Vance. The second tableau was tho
Annuclation and tho Christmas story
was road also by Thomas Vance.
Tho third tableau, the Herald An
gels, was one of the most striking
of the evening, tho costuming and
posing being very unusual.
The song and tableau, tho Three
Kings of the Orient, was by far tho
best received of them all. The trio
number which was sung by tho three
kings was an old Christmas carol,
"Wo Three Kings of Orient Are."
This song was rendered by Simeon
Dlas, Henry Malina, and John Maka
riani, who played tho three kings,
was1' greatly enhanced by the won
derful costumes worn by the sirg
ers.
Tho fourth tableau portrayed tho
shephords awaking and following the
star of Bethlehem. This was follow
ed by a number by the cantata chor
us.
Tho sixth tableau was the. Madoii'
na nnd child, and a solo "Sleep My
Jesu Sleep," was sung by Elinor
Dale during this number. Mrs. Ma
bel Jensen made a very striking
Madonna.
The manger scene with Mary and
Joseph and three little cherubs
around the manger was the seventh
tableau, while tho Adoration, the
last tableu made the most beautiful
picture of them all.
Too much credit cannot bo given
tho committeo which was headed
by Miss Edith Rico and Miss Edith
Hanson, for the wonderful success
of the Christmas tableau.
The program committee for the
tableau was Mrs. H. D. Sloggett,
Miss Edith Hanson, Mrs. Frank
Crawford, Mrs. Alma Rogers and
Rev. It. W. Bayless.

DREDGING COMPLETED
AT AHUKINI HARBOR
Tho Hawaiian .Dredging Co. com'
plcted the dredging of Ahukinl last
week and the dredger returned to
Honolulu Thursday.
Over one thousand yards of ma
terial was removed from the bot
of tho harbor during the operation
of tho dredger. A minimum depth
of 35 feet is maintained throughout
tho cntiro dredged portion.
Tho area dredged Is one thousand
feet from the breakwater following
a line parallel to tho wharf and then
follows a line of practically the
same length curving to a point on
the shore opposite tho end of tho
breakwater.
It is now possible for steamers as
big as tho Wilhelmina to uso Ahu-
klni hrabor, which ought to remove
any objections that tho Inter Is

lauea of the Mauna Kca on the lo
cal run when the Haleakala arrives.

HOLDS
Ninety Members Turn Out to Hear Professor A. A.
Hauck Speak on Education; Principal F. J.
Dollinger Talks on School Problems
Tho Kauai Chamber of Commerce
held Its regular meeting at tho Tip
Top Cafe last Thursday evening and
the biggest turnout of the year mark
ed tho last meeting in 1922.
Over 90 members turned out to
hear Prof. A. A. Hauck, president
of Punahou school, and F. J Doll
inger, of Kauai high school, and
they wero rewarded by hearing two
of the most Interesting addresses
that have boon delivered before the
chamber this year.
President Hauck was the first
speaker and he took for his subject
"Education." He told tho chamber
that tho duties of present day edu
cation Inf preparing tho children for
the future wero fourfold. The first
was to educate them along physical
lines, so that their bodies would
be prepared to take up the struggle
when they went out into the world.
The second duty was to give them
a complete working knowledge of
the English language so that In the
future their thinking and reading
would bo in that language, Tho third
duty was to develop a civic attitude
among the children so that when
they became of age they would
perform their duties as citizens in
an intelligent manner; and the fourth
was to teach them to earn a living.
He then told tho chamber that It
was a good sign for the future of
education when bodies similar to
the chamber wero taking an Inter
est in it.
President HaucU's address was de
livered in an unusually Interesting
manner and his words made a dis
tinct impression on the members.
F. J. Dollinger, who followed Mr.
Hauck, then told what Is being
done at the Kauai high school along
developing the local children. Mr.
Dollinger opened his talk with an
invitation to the members of the
chamber to visit tho high school
and inspect it so as to receive first
Kapaa Water Supply
Increased Next Year
Kapaa and Wuilua residents who
in the past have been forced to
suffer temporary shortages in their
water supply, due to tho heavy de
mand for water In the early morn
ings and evenings, will no doubt bo
interested in the announcement of
Supervisor Fred Mcndcs that the
work of developing a supply of wat
er, sufficient to meet tho needs of
Kawalhau, is expected to start early
next year.
Plans for the work havo already
been submitted to th Department
of Public Works In Honolulu and
bids will probably bo called for soon.
Kapaa and iWallua aro at present
supplied with only ono line, and
Walpoull and Wailua residents aro
always complaining of empty pipes,
tho demand from those nt the head
of the line taking all the water dur
ing certain periods of tho day.
The present plans for the now
water system call for two lines lead
ing from tho same source, ono lino
for Kapaa users and nnother for
Waipauli and Wailua, thus insuring
all residents with an adequate sup
ply. A third line will probably bo
built to supply the Hawaiian Can
neries Co., as tho pineapple cannery
during tho height of tho canning
season in the summer months re
quires an enormous quantity of wat
er ,for uso in connection with their
canning operations.
For those who may bollevo that
three lines' leading from tho
same source of supply might tend
to exhaust tho supply or at least
to diminish it, Supervisor Meudes
states that tho present supply avail
able all the year around, is suffici
ent to eupply a district with three
times the present population of Ka
walhau. Tho last legislature appropriated
$C0,000 for tho development of an
adequate water supply for Kapaa.

hand knowledge as to what Is being
done.
Ho then bocamo specific where
President Hauck had been general,
and told that the school was work
ing along a fourfold plan.
The first plan was that tho nchool
was preparing tho scholars who In
tended to take up collego courses,
for that work In Its academic de
partment. The second plan was to
develop the local girls, who prefer
red that course along- the linos of
domestic science and domestic art.
This course prepared them as houso
wives and home builders. The third
plan wus to develop boys industrially
and technically, with a four year
manual training course. Tho fourth
plan was to develop girls and boys
for n commercial career with a four
year commercial course.
Mr. Dolllnger's talk gave many
members of the chamber a new
light on tho work that has been
done at the high school and many
favorable comments were heard from
various members.
At the business session, which
followed tho banquet, a motion was
introduced to have tho chair ap
point a committee to devise a suit
able memorial to tho late J. M. Lyd
gate. An amendment was added to
tho first motion that the board of
supervisors bo petitioned by tho
chamber to change the name of Wal
lua Park to J. M. Lydgato Park as
a memorial to Mr. Lydgate, as it
was thru his efforts that this park
was obtained for the public of Ka
uai. Both the motion and tho amend
nient passed unanimously.
Rev, R. W. Bayless, who was the
delegate to tho recent civic convon
tion in Honolulu from tho Kauai
Chamber of Commerce, rendered an
Interesting report on tho convention.
Jack Horner gavo as part of tho
entertninincnt, two solos that wero

KAWAIHAU
AFTER
LADS SAID TO
CARLOS LONG'S
SCALP
BE
Nevor let It be said that politicians
nre quiet In Kawalhau, as It Is al
ways opan season In that district
The latest plot brewing that dls
trlct Is of Island wide interest, for
it hinges on tho very Important po
sltlons of Kauai tax assessor, tho
deputy tax assessor for Kawalhau
and the district magistrate of Wat
moa.
Tho first Btep In the action re
gards tho appointment of tho de
puty tax assessor for Kawalhau,
who will ho appointed by Carlos
Long, tnx assessor for tho Island.
The Kawalhau precinct club has en
dorsed K. MaBunaga for the posi
tion, and It Is understood that ac
cording to political custom It is ne
cessary for tho candidate for a dls
trlct office to be endorsed by tho
precinct club.
The rumor has gone abroad that
Long does not Intend to appoint
Masaunaga, but that Hopii, the oth
er candidate, will be his selection.
Kawalhau Republicans nre not slow
in stating that if Long does so they
will go out after his scalp, as he
Is a Democratic holdover in the of
fico as tax assessor and that a good
Republican should replace him.
It is rather hard to seo where tho
district Magistrate of Walmea comes
in at first glance, but this comes
on another angle. Judge Hoggaard
Is a good Republican, but ho is in
danger of losing his position, fol
lowing along the policy of Chief
Justice Peters In appointing Ha
wallans to the district courts, There
fore the Kawalhau politicians figure
that If the judge is removed it
might not be a bad idea to remove
tho Democratic holdover in the tnx
assessor job and replace him with
somo good Republican, say Judge
Hofgaard, for instance.
Tho Kawalhau men claim that
Deputy Sheriff Crowell Is bo
hind tho movement to removo Judge
Hofgaard, although Crowell strenu
ously denies this.
uroweii is deputy tax assessor
ns well as deputy sheriff and it is
claimed that If Horgaard succeeds
Long that Crowell will hold only
ono position jjfter tho appointment.
ong is now registered as a Re
licun, but tho Information is giv
Oft- out from Kawalhau that ho was
appointed under a Democratic admin
Istrntlon and that ho also has been
a candidate' for office on tho Demo
cratic ticket.
In tho meantime tho story has
spread all over tho Island and ninny
nnd various conjectures aro being
madfc as to tho final outcome. How
over, n tno affair should fall to
come to a head, thero Is no doubt
that Kawalhau will have a now
sensation to spring tho following
week.

Entries for the Foresters big rac
ing meet and day of sports at Wal
poull race track next Monday aro"
practically complete. Sixteen races
are down on tho cards and the For-
estors will havo a busy tlmo run
ning them so ns to get finished , bo

John Fernandez, who is general
chairman for tho Foresters, an
nounced today that thero will bo
no long waits botweon races and
the Lihuo band will be on hand to
snap things up while the horses are
going to tho post.
Two races on the card aro excit
ing more Interest than any of tho
others, these two being tho mile
open and the five-eighths open. Din
ner Bell, Golden Spray and Sky
Boy will meet In the mile .and these
three - horses havo the rail birds
scratching their heads trying to fig
ure tho winner.
There certainly can bo no shortage
of stop-watches on tho island, as
whenever the horse from the enemy
camp goes out for a work all the
stable boys, trainers and Jockeys
for tho other horses appear with
watches and clocks him as he takes
his spin around tho track and then
watches aro compared and hnn.la
wag over tho result. Old Golden
Spray Is said to bo due for a come
back as he flashed tho mile in good
stylo yesterday. Both Dinner Bell
and Sky Boy look good and no
doubt they will have their back
ers when tho big race conies off.
Tho other race that is causing
comment is tho five-eighths of a
mile with Silver Dust, Fireman, Din
ner Bell and Kapaa Girl as tho en
tries. The first contenders were on
ly Silver Dust and Fireman, but tho
nddltion of Dinner Bell and Kapaa
Girl to tho entries gives the race
a new angle. Silver Dust took tho
measure of Fireman tho last tlmo
they met, but Fireman's backers are
looking for tho Kapaa horses to
lead tho Fernundez mare, while tho
Japanese racing fans are backing
Dinner Bell to finish abend of them
both. Kapaa Girl Is given only an
outside chanco by most of tho fans
but there nre plenty of backers
for G win's mare.
