Temperature for July, like that of previous months of the year, aver- i aged above normal, though the de-; parture. -f 0.8 per cent, was not pro- nounced and the monthly average. 74.9 per cent, has not infrequently cording to the monthly weather summary issued today by Walter F. i Feldwisch. federal meteorologist.

The extreme highest and lowest temperatures recorded this July, 92 degrees and 47 degrees, respective- ily, also are not at all unusual for the month I It was the first month of the year with average rainfall for the tern-i tory below normal. Particularly over the normally wetter areas of jMaui, and to a somewhat less extent over such areas in Hawaii, also, monthly totals were noticeably be- I low the expectancy. The Kauai average was practically normal, while that of Oahu was somewhat above, being brought i about by comparatively heavy showers at some stations at the beginning of the month. The Kona districts of the Big Island received more rain than is normal for July. Honolulu records show wind movement was light, the average having been 9.2 miles an hour, com- lhe drier weather of the north aided by adequate sunshine, was generally beneficial to the chief crops of the section, and with showers occurring mostly at night, it was a favorable month for outdoor activities.

has been the home of fine food for our loyal patrons of Pasadena, Glendale, Hollywood and Los Angeles and remodeled it to be one of the finest eating places in southern California and still keeping up the same high quality of food. "Our business increased over 500 per cent in 1937. Now for some figures: "During this time we had served from 12,000,000 to 15.000,000 hamburgers. That's from two and a half to three million pounds, if put side by side they would go from Oregon down the Pacific coast to Mexico or half way from Honolulu to the mainland. On the hamburgers we used over 100,000 pounds of cheese.

"Last May, the famous Rite-Spots in Glendale and Pasadena only were sold to C. E. Carpenter, a well known drive-in stand operator for $150,000. So goes a business built strictly on quality and a slice of cheese. S.

Quilts may be entered for competition, or not for competition. From those entered for competiti-tion, a number wiU be selected to be sent to a several months' exhibit at the National Folk Arts center on Fifth New York. Judges will be Mrs.

Walter F. Dillingham. Mrs. Hannah Baker and Albert Ely Ives. The Folk Arts center has asked for about 25 quilts.

The number to be selected from this month's show is indefinite, as it is desired to send quilts representing as wide a variety of Hawaiian art as possible. If good examples of all types of Hawaiian quilts are not on display at the local show, the selection to go to New York will be augmented with quilts chosen from pirvate collections. Only Hawaiian quilts will be shown, but this qualification will be interpreted liberally to include modern quilts as well as those of older patterns. Besides their characteristically Hawaiian design, quilts will judged on general excellence, workmanship and significance. Quilts going to New York will be sent insured and every precaution will be taken to return them to the owners in perfect condition.

Mr. S'ernberger is in Honolulu i en a vacation. A genial and chatty r'na'p, let him teii the story. Introducing, ladies and gentlemen.

Lionel S'ernberger, the "Hamburger King of Southern California." "In the early part of 1927 I was fin my way to Pasadena to give an old wreck of a car to a friend for nothing because I couldn't afford to keep it up from lack of finances. "I stopped and gave a friend a ride. He wanted to stop at an old hot dog stand on top of 'the it was called, for at that time it hnd no name but was just known to those who passed by as the Saint on the Hill. It was located two miles out from town between Pasadena and Los Angeles. "All that was sold there was hot dgs and en Id drinks, and very few of them.

There were no lights, gas or water. They used gasoline for liht and cooked on an old kerosene Ftovc and carried the water from across the street at the golf course. "When I arrived at 'the Saint' on ip of the hill. I noticed the road was all torn up in front and it was very muddy. I drove my friend up to the door so he would not have to walk through the mud.

Lucky Stop "I told him I was going on to Tasadcna and that he would have to walk back home over the hill. He said o. k. but asked if he could buy me a cold drink for giving him a lift so I accepted. We both went in the old shack and had a cold drink.

The owner of the old shack told me he was sick and tired of the place and was going to close lip after the New Year's Day parade which was only five days off. He wanted to know if I would buy it. lie thought I could make it go because I was young and could 'take it' and also I had caddied at the golf club across the street and knew all the caddies. "I didn't want the owner to know I was broke, I told him I would not take it as a gift. "lie begged me to make him a until I walked away from him and went out to my old junk Of a car.

"All I had in cash, was 11 cents pnd although he just had an old $hack I didn't think I had enough cash to talk business. "When I got to the car. it had funk down 1o the hubs in the mud. Then I kind of lost my temper and told him, "Well, that's what a fellow gets for helping a He laughed and said 'Well, why don't jou make me a "So I thought all he could say is no. So I said.

'I will trade you the car for the joint' and he said That's a Good Swap "Well I was going to give the car away for nothing and I guess he thought the same about the joint so I s'pose we both thought we got the best of the deal. "He got some fellows who were working on the road to pull the old oar out of the mud and I had the to the joint. When I took inventory there was only two cases of pop and about one dozen hot dogs and of course, my 11 cents in cash. "I looked around and wondered what to do with it so after about pn hour of looking I locked the old joint up and caught a ride over to Pasadena to see a friend of mine and tell him what I had done. He seemed more enthused than I reached down in his pocket and handed me $50 and said.

'Well. kid. you are not working and I think if you get in and work hard and lend business, you can make a good living in the old joint." "Well. I took his advice and did just what he said; the first motto I used was quality. What I bought was not much but the best, and charged accordingly.

High Priced Hamburger "It was the first place to charge 15 cents for a hamburger and the first customer hollered his head off end said he had been all over the world and never paid 15 cents for a hamburger in his life and assured me he would never be back again. And this fellow, I am sure, kept his word. "Well, the first day my gross sales were just a little over $2, that was for 18 hours' business and it was six months before I had $10 a day. But like the old saying 'If you don't succeed, try and try "Well, after trying for about six months I found out you never get too old to learn. A customer came in one night and asked me if I would make him a hamburger like he wanted it made.

So I said, 'Yes, "He said 'You make a fine hamburger but if you just put a thin s'ice of cheese, it makes an entirely different So I agreed with him at that time I was only using two or three pounds of hamburger a day. Starts a Chain "After featuring and being the first one in the country to serve a hamburger with cheese, business increased over 100 pounds a day and in July. 1928. I started a second place in Los Angeles featuring the Kite-Spot Aristocratic Hamburger, end much different than the first place it started right out with a bang. And about six months later the third place in Glendale which jvent bigger and better than ever r.nd from then on in three years to eight places serving only the finest quality food at moderate prices tut never selling so cheap that I could not serve quality.

"In 1933. after serving the finest quality hamburger and chili in southern California, we ventured in the charcoal steak business, starting California's Finest Steak House. Well, after giving it that for a name, the next thing, the same as the name Rite-Spot, Home of the Aristocratic Hamburger, was to live up to the name and reputation. And after about six months of hard knocks because of such a poor location, it being in an old barn over 100 feet if the boulevard and back of a hamburger stand, we had a waiting line at the steak house seven nights a wees.
