Arah Porter as Maid

In every large hotel the chambers maids are always ready and willing to perform personal service for the sake of the customary tip that accompanies it. Remembering this the woman tour st, who was stopping at shepheards Hotel in Cairo, rang at last for assist ance after Vainly struggling for fifteen minutes with the intrieaeies of the rear fasteidngs of her gown. To her dismay one of the Arab porters responded to her ring,
 Madame requires something?" His voice was soft and sweetly modulated.
 Yes. Please send np one of the maids to hook my dress"
 "Ah. if that is all." He bowed and waved a depreeating hand. Madame desires 10 be shut up? l can shut her rp.s

Brilliant Native Costumes

Several of the deputies wore the native Servian costume. Ih it's pIainest form that consists of a jacket of brown trimmed with black braid. The trousers are of the same material, and are tucked inside the socks. That simple garb, how ever, does not please everyone's color sense. Often the jacket is of brighter hue. and is embroidered fin gaudiest fashion. the socks outbid the rainbow in variety and vividness of color. and are amply displayed wheh worn with the na- tive foot gear-a curious arrangement Of strips of leather.

The Jews are subject to the same laws as the rest of the popula- ton of the country; they serve in the army, and are patriotic to the core They do not, however, take very kindly to the Servian language, and as rule they still speak the tongue they brought with them.
 So everything in Belgrade speaks of a changing. Servia-a Servia growing stronger, a determined nation of con- stantly increasing culture and wealth. a reviving Servian spirit.

BONNIE AND THE HULA.

Editor Star: That the situation may
be better understood by the people Of
Honolulu, l feel called upon, owing to
its recent publicity, to explain my rea-
son for refusing to stage my Hawaiian
motion picture scenes with the hula
entertainment for the visitors of the
Cleveland, under the auspices of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee.
In the first place | have not sud
denly become a saint" as was sarcas-
tically implied at the Promotion Com
mittee this afternoon, nor is the ques-
tion one of morality or immortality, for
still contend that the hula is all right
in its proper place, but the place is up
some dark alley. 1t should not be
ilouted in the face of some unsuspect-
ing mother or daughter who is limo
Gently led to believe that she is to see
the beautiful customs of Hawaii"
Those who have lived here in the
islands for some years have become
slowly hardened to the many visual
/ shocks" they encounter on all sides
and are well able to stand for the
average hula, but these transient visi
tors who have planned this great ioy
of paying us a visit, have come from ;
different part of the world; have com,
from refined homes and communities
where if they were to entertain yor
in return, would delve for some dea
old custom of past history and no
some degenerating custom of barbar
ity
My proposition to the Promotioi
. Committee was to make the entertain
ment to the Cleveland visitors free o
any expense to them. | was willin:
to go to any reasonable expense an,
all kinds of hard work to help max,
it a pleasant memory and not a CON
mercial enterprise at so much per,
but this did not coincide with the!
plans, and rather than meet my plani
with reason they resorted to insult.
The hula stands.

MAYBE VOLCANO
TRIP NEXT TIME

H. p. Wood, in company with Mr..
Wright of the Volcano Stables, met
some of the officials on the Cleve-
land yesterday and explained to
them that in three days the trip to
the volcano could be made comfort
ably.
Mr. Wright states that he could
handle a thousand people in twenty
four hours from Hilo and back At
the conclusion of the conference the
officials expressed themselves as pref
ty we'll certain that the extra three
days will be added to the itineraries
in future, Perhaps the return visit
of the Cleveland will not make it, but
it is almost certain that the succeed
ing steamers will, say next fall.
The people on board wanted to see
Kilauea and the officials were anx-
ious to have them see it, too, but
nothing definite could be done until
an official talk had been had on the
matter.

would greatly facilitate the construc-
ton of reclamation and drainage
projects at home.
Bills are now pending in the House
providing that the several states, on
proper request, may use this machin-
cry without cost. A multitude of com
mercial organizations, whose repre-
sentatives are thronging the hotels of
the Canal Zone and of Washington,
are anxious to take advantage of the
opening of the canal to increase their
business. through the furnishing Of
supplies of various kinds to ships
using the canal. The seekers after
various kinds of concessions will be-
come more numerous in Washington
as the session advances.
The House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce is therefore re-
alizing that Congress must be very
careful in matters of canal legislation
at this session if the prestige based
on the freedom of all canal work from
extravaganza and petty graft is to be
maintained.
Within a month this canal question
in its entirety will be before the
House. and it is likely that the com
mittee will give hearings to all per
sons who care to present themselves.
The demands for free tolls for Ameri-
can ships is very strong in all sec.
tons. The states on both coasts
favor it, and so does the states of the
interior, and the arguments against
it, as summarized in this article, will
have to be very convincing if the de-
rand is to be refused.
