touched life closer than almost any
other. we see the world with the
rtask torn on" she said. I'VE are be-
hind the scenes and know whether
calcium merely is playing about
mans head or whether the halo is
real
In closing she read n poem on the
press, told as dream. THE meter
is Kiplinc. the slang is Tower" she
added The poem was excellent and
depicted the hopes OF the newspaper
scribes.
FOR CALIFORNIA.
c. L. Holland, also of the California
party. responded to the toast of Cali
fornia, Our Big Brother" He had been
sizing up the little brother, Hawaii.
Hawaii was a pretty good little brother
and as Californians they were willing
to stand by the little brother as long
as he had a cent. They would be glad
to defend the islands with the last drop
OF ink in their fountain pens. A great
deal had been said about steamship
line from Los Angeles to Honolulu. He
hoped to see 1t become fact. There
was wonderful field open to Hawaii
in the way of tourist travel. To the
Californians the tourist crop was the
best they had to harvest. Mr.. Holland
praised the Hawaiian Islands in poet
ical language.
! SMITH ON PROBLEMS.
| George w. Smith, chairman of the
Board of County Supervisors respond
ed to the toast, Hawaii: A Review"
He said that Judge Dole had. in an able
manner, touched on some of Hawaii's
1 problems. The visit of the Californians
may prove of greater interest than the
mere passing by of travellers. Before
California, Oregon or Washington had
become known, there came to the Ha-
waiian Islands a band of Americans
who founded here the American civiliz-
alton, which was eventually to lead to
closer union with the home they had
left behind. From these islands there
had gone forth men to die on the
American battlefield that the Union
might be preserved. Mr.. Smith spoke
of sociological problems facing the To-
lcal community. The alien people in the
islands are becoming mornentous
problem. The alien people here wanted
them to be educated to our standards.
Mr.. Smith asked the members Of the
California press to help Hawaii in this
struggle. to help those under the flag
to uphold the banner of civilization.
CONCLUDING ToAsTs.
1 Mrs Penny of the California party
responded to the toast. "The Charm of
Honolulu" and made a witty talk. AS
long as she lived she would never for
get the charm of Honolulu. The charm
was an intangible something che could
mot explain or describe. 1t might be
the alluring light of the skies, the
mountain shadows, the peculiar mist
of the hills. the ever changing hues of
} the ocean, the mystical legends of old
Hawaii, but which it was she could not
tell.
j G.. Ray Horton of the Los Angeles
Examiner, spoke of the Future of the
Pacific."N In substance it was that Ha-
wall was the key to this future devel-
lopment and would be found in after
years to have played the most impor-
tant part in the bringing together of
the Occident and the Orient.
The feast was followed by old-time
i Hawaiian hulas, danced by three Ha-
'waian women In yellow pa-us, man
keeping time with a gourd. DR.. Emer-
sor told what hulas We're and said that
1t might seem strange for son of a
missionary to be announcing the dance
on the program but there were hulas
and hulas and this would be one that
none could criticize. The hula was
danced and was appreciated.
Il The visitors were conducted through
the Maternity Home by Mrs. Dowsett,
Mrs. Macfarlane and Miss Elizabeth
Dutot, the matron.
The luau was in charge of the fol-
lowing committees: Charles L. Rhodes,
chairman; DR.. N. B. Emerson, A. p.
Taylor.
