CITY EPBUIIDING THROUGH ORGANIZATION

(
Businessmen of Honolulu who have visited
the southern states in the past ten years have
hceD surprised at the wide-awake and aggressive
Spirit the New South is showing
Mot Little of this spirit is due to the cooper
alton Of the southerners in organizing their conf
mercial bodies and in making these commercial
bodies serve cities and states instead of special
interests. Bodybuilding in its broadcast sense is
the aim of the various commercial clubs and
chambers Of commerce
A noteworthy move in, the south, land a
move well worth noting in Honolulu and else
where in Hawaii,is the organization of field
work by the Southern Commercial Secretaries
Association. A. w McKeand, long leader in
progressive community work, has been named
field secretary Of the association and has already
begun his work His duty is to travel from town
to town and from city to city in the SOUTH visit
ing commercial organizations and banding them
together in the association. He will also CAM
paign for Bodybuilding in each community where
there is a commercial organization, and if he
finds communities without organizations, will
endeayor to see that enc is started.
McKeand says of this phase of his work:
sCity-building is still in its educational stage.
1t is amazing how ignorant the average business
man is with regard to the functions and duties
of chamber of commerce. Things of "a city
building nature are, nine times out of ten, left
undcne, not because the business men of a city
do not have the best interests of the community
at heart, but because they are entirely innocent
of the knowledge which would urge them to do
things along the right lines 1t therefore natur-
ally falls to the part of field secretary to play
the part of the evangelist in commercial way
when coming in contact with these men. I'm
questionably the harvest will be rich one"
One of the reasons why there has been dis
tinct movement here for the merging of the COM
mercial bodies is that neither the chamber of
commerce nor the merchants association devOtes
any particular attention to city.upbuilding aside
from any connection with special commercial in
terests. 1t is true that the chamber of commerce
rendered service in getting an experts report ON
city administration and financing, but the report
went on the. shelf and a splendid start toward a
campaign fer municipal efficiency ended inglo-
Iiously.

PREP AIRING TO
HANDLE MAILS
WITH DISPATCH
POSTMASTER FELL, HOWEVER,
ASKS COOPERATION OF THE
PUBLIC AND ESPECIALLY THAT
PACKAGES BE MAILED EARLY
AND AVOID CONGESTION.

| To avoid congestion delay and an
| noyance, Postmaster A. G. Fell is COM
! plet1ng arrangements to handle all in
1 coming and outgoing mails with the
greatest possible dispatch Before the
| holiday rush sets in, a window will be
/ opened where information may be OBJ
/ tanned relating to any matter connect
ed with the postoffice business and
packages and other mail will be
promptly dispatched, and additional
carriers will be employed SO that
prompt deliveries will be made. but as
an extraordinarily large mail is an
| ticipated for the holiday season the
public Is earnestly requested to mail
parcels as early as possible.
The practice of mailing packages
| their destination on Christmas day is
likely to defeat it's own purpose
| through unavoidable delay due to con-
gestion of the mails. Parcels may
bear the words Not to be opened until
Christmas or similar inscriptions.
1t is very important that packages
be properly wrapped, that they are
carefully and accurately addressed
dncluding street and number), that
they bear the sender's complete return
address and that tags are securely
fastened to the parcels. II the con-
tents of packages are liable to be in
jured in the mails or is of a perish
able nature the parcels should be pre-
regulations provide and parcels and
tags should be endorsed fragile
''perisllable,' or with other appropriate
terms.
1t is suggested that prospective
Senders of insured and G.. O. ID. par
cells obtain in advance the number of
tags they may need and fill them out
at home or their place of business in
order to avoid congestion in the lobby
of the postoffice. Insured and G.. o. D.
parcels must be presented at the post
office window. and senders should be
prepared to give the value of the con-
tents. Packages are insurabIe at their
actual value up to $50. The insur-
ance fee for packages valued up to SIS
is 8 cents, and for parcels valued over
$25 and not exceeding $50, 10 cents.
To be entitled to the fourth class or
parcel post rate of postage, packages
must not > be sealed or otherwise
closed against inspection, and must
sidered as personal correspondence.
Fourth class matter in the domestic
mails cannot be registered, insurance
takes the place of registration. but all
other matter may be registered. Sealed |
parcels UP to 4 pounds are available at
the first class rate of postage and these
may be registered.
Parcels for foreign countries with a |
few exceptions. among which are
lands may be registered and none can
be insured. Senders of packages to |
foreign countries should present them |
at the window, because different regu-
latiOnS relative to customs declara-
tions, permissible mail matter etc.
apply to parcels for the different coun- |
tries.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Last NIGHTS PLAY.

"The FREELY" with Edith Thayer
making her initial performance in
Pensacola, was the Offering at the
opera house lest night, and for nearly
three hours the the theatePgoing pub
lie was given the cream of comic opera.
1t will not be amiss to say that the
play last night demonstrates conclu-
sively that inelegant and coarse SEN
fences, suggestive dances and abbre
waited costumes are not necessary to
please a twentieth century audience,
for throughout the bill *here was not
a line in dialogue or song which
sayored of vulgarity which, alas, finds
such q. conspicuous part in the mod
ern comic opera.
With an excellent orchestra the song

Enthusiastically by the little singer-ac-
tress and her several co-stars, and the
chorus Of the richly costumed company

Edith Thayer is a. wonderful little
singer As she appears upon the stage
she has all of the captivating charac-
teristicS Of the happy child full of mis-
chief which always creates interest
among the audience and one does not
expect to find in her the marvellous
singer that she is. She makes her ap-
pearance singing Love is Like a, Fire
fly" and at intervals throughout the
evening her rich, mellow voice thrilled
the audience.
Miss Thayer is not only a singer of
much charm, but she is an actress of
no mean ability. Her role in THE
Firefiys makes it necessary for her to
be transformed into boy from the
little Italian street singer, then into
girl again and later into the character
of a prjIna donna, all of which she does
in such a pleasing and natural manner.

and radiant expression and smile.
Irene SaInsel as Susetta, and Thelme

variety, the former in addition to her
singing being the dancing sensation Of
the evening. She to, like the little
singer, is small of stature, but her
graceful and thrilling dances were of

joys and sorrows and heartaches, is to

Little Women gives a, very faithful
picture of simple lfe--the life that
hundreds of thousands of healthy
minded Americans live or did live fifty
years ago. 1t has no problems, except
the simple problems of love and life
and death which are common to prince
and pauper alike. 1t seeks to teach
no lesson, but it teaches one, neverthe-
less-tfle lesson that happiness comes
from being gentle and kind and con-
siderate. Through it all is the most
delightful humor.
You who have read Little Women
no doubt will wonder how it is possible
