The visit of the Japanese squadron
here last month has left an aftermath
of stories that add much humor to the
small talk of society One of them is
about a call some of the officers of the
squadron made on some young ladies
in town. The young ladies in question
were guests aboard the flagship the
day before the reception at the Japa-
nese Consulate. They met several of
of the young officers at that time, and
afterwards when they met them at tho
reception the officers seemed to look
on them as old acquaintance. They
asked permission to call, and they
were not slow in acting on the per-
mission granted. Two of them called

I hear that Captain Parker of the
police station took a vacation of four
or FIVE days recently, Here is the way
it happened; When Sheriff Iaukea left
on his tour of inspection of the island,
the report got around that Deputy
Sheriff William P. Jarrett proposed
to assert his position and authority
about the police station. In other
words Jarrett proposed to come out Of
the sidetrack and knock Captain Par
ker from the pedestal of authority by
putting the shfty Robert into a box
canyon as it were Parker heard of
this threat and / understand that he
never appeared at the police station
during the absence of Iaukea, as he
evidently did not wish his subordin-
ates to see him stepping around lively
to the beck and call of his superior
officer the deputy sheriff
