LEAH Home day

Leah Home Day" has been set foI
mex Thursday and a number of prom

canvass for the sale of tickets for the
production of Tine Spirit of Hawaii
to be presented at the Opera House
September IS, II and is, according to
the statement of William d. Douthitt
manager of the theatrical entertain
ment. However, it is probable, also
according to Mr.. Douthitt, that the
ladies will declare a strike. 1t is stated
that the bill boards are responsible;
Mr.. Douthitt averring that he has been
issued an ultimatum by the workers
in the cause of the Leahi Home that
they will refuse to sell tickets until
the posters advertising the perfor-
nance are removed. >~.~ II
Mr.. Douthitt stated this morning
that he had taken the matter up with
the company that has handled the
move them. This is absolutely denied
by the company, the statement being
given out that it would be pleasure
to remove the posters provided Mr..
Douthitt visited the Office and attend
ed to the necessary advance arrange
ments."- .... 49,.
The promoters of the performance
had guaranteed to the Leahi home a
substantial percentage of the receipts
for the three nights performances, the
balance of the funds to be used for
mainland promotion" work. The
ladies we're to meet in the rooms of
the Promotion Committee tomorrow
morning and make plans for their sale;
however, the bill board matter inter
vening, it is probable that the
meeting may not be called-the
fact that the posters are extant call

ADVANCING, THE CLOCKS.

, Honolulu, Hawaii, Sept. 4, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: The movement, now well un
der way, to advance the clocks of Ha
wall one hour, naturally affects large
number of people, engaged in great
diversity of pursuits. It is not to be
expected that so radical a change as
| is contemplated in the proposed altera-
J ton of our time standard can be
brought about without meeting with
some opposition. In your issue of the
Sd inst you publish a letter from
Early Riser and welcome the op
portunity it gives me to make clear
one or two points relating to the new
clock time
In the very first place, this change
must meet with the approval of a large
majority of the people of Hawaii, or Il
cannot possibly be brought about. The
voters of this territory, not the com
mittee appointed by the Chamber Of
Commerce, will be the court of last
resort to pass sentence on this mat
ter The committee IS merely the
vehicle through which every phase Of
this subject will presently be placed
before all the people Of Hawaii Sec
ondly, the vital object OF the promo
tiers Of this new time idea Is to give
every working man and every working
woman In the territory Of Hawaii 9
more convenient working day; bet
ter daylight day: cooler starting
hour, and Z greater opportunity, after
the days work IS over, for recreation,

ARTILLERY SCOUT -. H.,
TAKEN FOR MADMAN
BY LADY OF KAHALA

A frenzied telephone message from
a prominent lady of the Kahala colony
to the effect that an insane soldier was
terrifying the district with his queer
antics, was received at Fort Kruger
this morning. .-< $780,.
On investigation it was found that
the alleged mailman was a scout OF
one of the coast artillery companies
now engaged in infantry exercises east
of Diamond Head. Following the rules
laid down by the drill regulations, this
energetic scout was making the best
possible use of cover, and his slick and
slithy movements from rock to rock
and bush to bush convinced the good
lady who telephoned that something
was radically wrong with his upper
story.
