TERPSICHORE
REMEMBRANCE
Some Blue Ribboners
Won't Dance
At All.

There is just a little friction among
the recently formed temperance club CT
pledge-signers. It seems that the god
dess Terpsichore has put her fantastic
toe, perhaps her whole foot, in it, The
difficulty is that some of the members
do not approve of dancing, and there are
others that do. 1t is getting to be a case
of not playing in each others yards.
A large number of the members are
soldiers from Camp Mckinley, and it
was the idea of the club to furnish the
pledge-signers, particularly the soldier
element. with some entertainment to re-
place their former amuSements. Some
of the soldiers friends talked it over and
decided upon a series of social gather
lings to be given monthly at Camp Nc
kinley. Arrangements were made,
! patronesses and chaperons appointed, and
| invitations issued. When it developed
that dancing was to follow the program
| there was division of opinion, the pos
SCISSORS of the old-fashioned Methodist
/ foot declining to have any part in the
affair. Among these were some of the
ladies named as patronesses and chap
erons, and so there is a little discord.
The initial entertainment is to be given
tonight at the camp, and members on
both sides of the difference in opinion
are awaiting developments with some
| interest. The invitations are issued IN
the name of the blue Ribbon Club,
although the name given the temperance
organization was Gospel Temperance
Club There may be branching OF
the members of the ease of conscience
and the congeniality of tastes.

THE CITY
WAITS
Streets In a. Bad
Condition All
Over.
ROAD SUPERVISOR
CAMPBELL TALKS
He Says Only Remedy Is Abso-
lutte Reconstruction Which
Is Costly.

N DAD SUPERVISOR CAMPBELL
expresses himself as feeling
IN much encouraged since the
quarry plant at the Asylum quarry
is in operation, as he can now
look forward, to relieving the distress
full condition of King street and Pa
lama.
There is no enigma SO grave" said
he, las the street problem in Honolulu.
There is nothing more important to
the prosperity and advancement of
City, or to the convenience and COM
fort of the citizen, than good roads,
and good roads are something that
Honolulu is without. There are at
present few streets that can be con-
sidered to be in good condition; this
in a great measure. is due to the RAPID
growth of the City, the enormous IN
crease in traffic, and the lack of crop
er material and machinery to keep
pace with the rapid deterioration OF
the streets due to these things, also to
the recent tearing up of the streets for
sewer construction.
..l,he cutting of the necessary
trenches for the sewers showed exact
ly what material was on the street.
Throughout the business portion of the
City-notably King, Fort, Merchant
| Hotel and Bethel-there is not at
present an average of more than one
| inch of road material.
| ITO this fact more than anything
else, is due the muddy condition OF
the streets of the City in stormy
weather; the rain soaks through the
thin covering into the foundation, and
the wagons break through, causing the
ruts and holes that appear after a
storm, necessitating that the entire
| force be turned out on patching ana
! repairing The only solution for the
| present condition is absolute recon-
struction, which means an enormous
| amount of work that will require time
and the expenditure of large sums of
| money
Since the clearing of the weather
Mr. Campbell has sent out his clean
/ ing force, but does not expect to be
able to use his machinery to any great
| advantage until tomorrow. Inc ma
| chinery is now at the quarry, and the
plan is to build the road out, so that
the rock may be hauled with more
convenience, and good road will fol-
( low in the wake of the apparatus
wherever it goes. If the weather is
| propitious good progress toward a
more satisfactory state of affairs may
be expected, but Mr.. Campbell says
that it is a tedious task, and that 1t
will take a long time, as the depart
ment must determine the worst roads
and remedy them in order of the most
| urgent need.
He saws that coral is very poor
material for road work, and that this
kind of foundations will not stand
heavy traffic, but grind to mud and
slush during rains. The intention is to
macadamiZe thickly with firm crushed
rock from the quarries.
