MANAGERS
ASK SUGGESTIONS

rade general committee, that the com
mittee authorize the publication of an
official souvenir of the coming pageant,
copy Of which should be present cd
TO each person entering a vehicle in
the parade. Mr. Petrie, as well as
other members of the committee, to
whom the idea was mentioned, think
very favorably of it, and it will be the
subject of report at the general
meeting of chairmen TO be held this
afternoon at four O'Clock in Mr.. Pc
trie g Office.
The souvenir, if the idea is carried
out, will be in the form of an album
in which win be reproduced in high
grade photo.engraved cuts, pictures of
every automobile, carriage, float, hi.
cycle, equestrian, or other unit of the
parade The photographs from which
the engravings will be made, will be
furnished by the committee, and will
be of uniform size. Each picture will
occupy single page, which will be of
ample size TO bring out all the details.
The Promotion Committee yearly sends
out large numbers of pictures of the
Floral Parade, which always excite the
greatest interest everywhere, and it is
believed that there would be big de.
mand for the kind of album proposed.
Moving Pictures Also.
| Arrangements are already being
made by r. X. BONNIE, the motion pic
ture expert, to make an elaborate lot
of pictures of the parade in motion.
These will be used among Others, fer
advertising Hawaii at the Alaska Yu.
kon Seattle Exposition, as well as other
places on the mainland. Mr. BONNIE
made pictures of last year S parade, it
will be remembered.
Elks Advertise Parade.
Through the courtesy of the Honolu'
lu Lodge of Elks, full page was OF.
fcred the committee for advertising
the parade, in the handsome souvenir
program being prepared for the Elks
Ministries on Thursday and Saturday
evenings This is just an instance OF
the way in which almost everybody
and every organization seems to be
doing all that they can to boost the
big Washington s birthday celebration
along.
There is great hope among the meas
hers of the committee that PRACTICAL,
every school in the city will be repre-
sented in the parade by some kind o.
decorated vehicle or float. Already +
c. Atherton, chairman of the sub
D.. committee in charge of the school,
representation, has been advised o
: five which will be in line, and whicl
: are already at work planning for thei
: appearance. These are the Kamehame
: ha schools, Oahu college, Kawaiaha
, seminary, High school, and Aliiolan
: college
: Schools Want to Help.
y Practically every school in the cit
. wants to be represented in the proce'
= sion, the more so since Others are a
L ready getting ready. Some Of then
l. however, cannot see their way clear
u raise the fifteen or twenty dollar
|. needed to buy bunting, flags, etc. TIL
suggests way for some people VIII
will not be able otherwise to help til
y parade to do so The automobile con
:, mittee, J. NJ. Dowsett, chairman, an
! l the carriage committee, Frank Arm
T. strong, chairman, will probably be abb
l. to furnish suitable conveyances
+, such schools as need this assistance
:, hut somebody must make provisio
u also for the expense of decoratin
A materials.
