AUTOS Will
SHOW BIC
THE FLORAL PARADE WILL ALSO
HAVE FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
OUT IN FORCE.

]. M. Dowsett, chairman of the Au-
tomobile Committee of the Floral Par
ade. stated this morning that he is
very much encouraged by the attitude
of the automobile owners in the city
with whom he has thus far consulted
with regard to entering their machines
in the parade. with scarcely an ex-
ception," said Senator Dowsett, AL
the owners that l have seen have eX-
pressed willingness to decorate their
cars, or to turn them over to the COM
mittee for use in the parade. Several
stated that they. would personally not
be able to give the time to the work,
or had other engagement for Wash
ingtons Birthday, but were very ready
to offer the use of their machines to
some competent person selected by
us"
The Committee is hoping to have as
feature in the parade a large num-
Der of automobiles or floats decorated
appropriately and entered by various
civic organizations. A few such were
in evidence last year, but an effort
will be made this year to have prac-
tically all of the societies and clubs
of the city in line. Among these or
CARNATIONS, Senator Dowsett suggests,
should be the Chamber of Commerce
Merchants Association, Masons, Elksi
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias
Yacht Club, Boat Clubs, Golf Clubs
Polo Clubs, and other athletic and So
cial and fraternal societies. My idea
in this matter" said Chairman Dow
sett, rs that each of these organiza-
tiOns can secure an automobile or float
and decorate it appropriately, at very
| little expense to individual members
and at the same time produce a fea-
ture that will be one of the most
effective parts of the Para6e. | have
suggested the matter to members OF
several organizations, and from the
manner in which it was received | am
encouraged to believe that We can
count on this as feature"
| This is on the line of the Oahu Rail
way and the ride to the place is along
the sea coast for a part of the dis
lance. No pleasanter hour or two
can be spent than on the ride down
for there is so much to attract the
attention of the stranger Manager BID,
good at the hotel is a model host and
he puts his ability to the best use Of
the guests.

ADJOINING
CITY HALL

Mayor j. j. Fern is about to inau-
gurate the adornment of the City and
County offices by hanging portraits, en-
larged photographs, in his outer office,
where his secretary abides
Today there are TO be delivered,
great pictures, framed to be hung on
the walls of Secretary Rhodes head
quarters. These works of art are Sc
parate IlKenesses of the members OF
the preceding Board of Supervisors, of
the County of Oahu, of which Board
Fern was a member. The eighth por-
trait will be that of Clerk Kalauoka-
lani.
Other officers may follow the example
set by the Mayor and adorn their
walls with suitable pictures. At pres
ent the only other mural decorations
are the two frames in the Assembly
room, one frame containing pictures OF
the previous Board of Supervisors and
another holding photos of the first
Board of Supervisors of the County of
Oahu.
There are many at present bleak
walls where there is room for adorn-
ment and it has been suggested that
among portraits which might appro-
priately find hangings are those of A.
L. C. Atkinson who several years ago
ushered in County Government in the
Executive building, the christening OF
the gallant ship of local self govern
ment being consummated with the
assistance of several cases of cham
payne, and a host of notables, Federal
Territorial and County, attending the
baptism.
Then it is also suggested that Charlie
Achi the drafter of the Municipal Bill
should have his picture on the wall OF
the Mayors private office,
"Achi's good craftsman said Fern
, this morning, but further he would not
commit himself.
Charlie Achi is today vacating the
second floor of the Mcintyre building

pathos in the fact of the father OF
City and County government being
evicted, as it were, from the precincts
of the headquarters of the government
he helped to shape, and poetic justice
might at least leave picture of his
memory.
Physical improvements are going on
apace in the City and County Cham
bers. A counter has been erected in
the receiving room of the Attorneys
department. behind which Detective
