DEFACERS OF
NATURE ABROAD

Those who have occasion to drive out
towards MoanaIua have recently MOTTO
ed somebody's sign in white painted let
tiers on several of the boulders border
ing on the roadway. AS the perpetra-
tors of the Punchbowl effort, two years
ago. were traced and made to obliterate
their sign. it is believed that the same
course will be taken with the people
responsible for the signs beyond Ka-
lihi.
The gradual deterioration of many
streets ana highways in and about Ho-
nolulu begin to show the need of a Civic
Improvement Association which would
have in charge just such matters as the
use of trees and boulders as back
grounds for signs which nobody cares
to see in such places.
