HONOLULU, Aug. 6—In a mam- moth natatorium on the beach of Waikiki, swimming and diving queens of the Hawaiian Islands and the United States will compete for national titles, August 7-9. It promises to be a big event in the lives of the home stars who have trained diligently in their drive to break the monopoly which the feminine. stars from the States have on the national champion- ships. The Hawaiian contestants have been trained by George (“Dad”), Center who coached the great Duke | Kahanomoku from 1917 to 1921 Center is confident his charges will| crowd the American aquatic stars. The mainland has sent a big delegation, many of the group| coming from far-away New York.| The Women's Swimming Associa- tion of New York, which developed ' such great swimmers as Gertrude) Ederle, Martha Norelius and Helen| Meany, will be represented by six girls. These include Lisa Lindstrom,| 220-yard backstroke champion;} Eleanor Holm, 300-yard medley | champion; Agnes Geraghty, 220- yard breast stroke champion and Ethel McGary, member of the champion relay team. -\ One of the island headliners is Frances Bickerton, back and breast' stroke expert. She is a sturdy la:;,’ of 16 summers who has shown a| world of promise in local meets. | PUBLIC HOLDS LARGE SHARE IN UTILITIES NEW YORK, Aug. 6—Bonbright and Company's annual survey of public utilities points out that the ! gross revenue of all electric light| and power companies in the Unit- ed States has increased from $85,- 700,000 in 1902 to $1,908,900,000 in 1928. | The survey states the principal| reasons for confidence in the fu-| ture growth of the electrical power industry. These include the fact that only 10 per cent of the nation's farms are served by lighting companies, only two-thirds of the country’s in-| habitants live in wired houses, less: than two per cent of the railroads | are electrified, and the lighting oi‘ highways and airways has hardly started. Three million invesiors are esti- mated as the utilities’ bulwark of public support. Their total hold- ings exceed $25,000,000,000, exclusive of stocks in railroads. The survey predicts continued ex-| pansion of the nation’s light and power requirements which will ne- cessitate $3,600,000,000 in new fi- nancing during the next five years. ——eeoo—— Old papers a1 tne Empire. irceords in the Lincoln county court VETS T0 PLAY MOOSE TONIG —Douglas Trailing at City Park, the hostilities scheduled to open at 6:30 o' which was short several men. can hardly afford to drep ton to cop second half honors. on the mound for the Vets. —.—— ened by len and ing to a lett received from for and master, E.
