those who dared to ignore the styles
bought very rich expensive plumes to
show they could afford newer styles

TALE OF A PLUME
BY CLAUDINE SMYTHE.

"All my life," began the stout girl,
as she removed her hat and held it
up to undergo critical survey, I've
had wild longing to possess a hat
with plume. I've been possessed
with envy of every girl | saw with
real plume on her hat. I've stood hours
longing for the wealth of plumes dis
played in shop Windows-but ]
never felt that | could get one!"
You see, when | was baby an
uncle of mine died, and his wife gave
my mott 9r the white plume from his
helmet tor he belonged to some uni
formed order or other and had
plume to march with you know
We'll, mother packed that plume
away in blue tissue paper, so it
wouldn't turn yellow, and waited for
me to grow up.
When l became old enough to
think about pretty hats, mother
brought out the plume, and we looked
it over.
Just then, however, everybody was
wearing little clusters OF fat short
tips, and that long straggly ostrich
feather of mine, no matter how you
curled it, never could have been worn
on the street without attracting un.
pleasant attention. So we SORROW
fully wrapped it up again, and dream
ed OF the next year, when styles
would change, while mother pressed
out some plaid ribbon and tied it
around my hat!
Well when the next year came, be-
hold the plume! Even mother had
to laugh when We looked at it. Every
one had willow plume, if she had
anything, and the willow plumes were
thick and long and thrillingly exquis-
lite. The helmet plume, fiat and
scrawny, looked in comparison like
little alley cat beside big blue rib
bon angora!
Il remember l shed real tears that
year over the disappointment But
mother had some cast iron or
india rubber or something equally
strong, that resembled bunch Of
black feathers, and we tucked those
on my hat, where had imagined the
plume would wave, and l went out in
the world and pretended there was no
skeleton in our closet!
"Of course, mother and agreed
that it would be perfectly silly for me
to buy another plume so long as we
had one in the house not in use. For
we have always been taught to
use what we have and finish using it
before buying more. It's rather diff
cult sometimes to realize the logic of
shs system, but in the long run it's
very economical Why, I'd have had
several expensive hats during those
year of waiting il it hadn't been for
that perfectly good, mussed plume up
in the closet!
Then last year, when | read the
willow plumes were quite out of the
swim, and ordinary plumes would be
used again, got out my long slim
natural feather. feeling very righteous

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Dear Sir: While X Y. z does not
claim 10 possess any special talent
or ability to NEEDLE in the European
war. or to give advice about media
ton (Which, you | am afraid. advise
rather caust;cally), he still has an
idea which, though it may not put a
stop TO the present war. NAV to a
large extent prevent wars in the flu
ture. And that is to change the mon
arches Of Germany, Austria Hungary
and Russia into republics.
1t is admitted everywhere that if
the emperors and the ruling classes
of these countries were relegated to
private life. or to some far distant
country where they could do no
harm, and presidents chosen by the
people were put in their places, it
would do more than anything else to
put stop to war. But so long as the
bloodthirsty, cruel. selfish. proud and
ambitious rulers of the present day
are on the throne. no permanent
peace can be looked. or even hoped,
for.
but thee is one man here, if not
more. who will devote his life, his
talents and his fortune to bringing
this about. and every right-minded
man will hone that he may succeed;
and it's more than likely that he will.
For no man can contemplate the
present crisis with any other feeling
than that of horror, and when it is
known that this great calamity is
brought about by a few persons who
care little or nothing about the loss
of life or destruction of property, it
must be admitted that it is about time
to make a change, and to have this
power put into the hands of men
who have some love for their fellow
men and some idea of the golden
rule, for to leave this power in the
hands of those, many of whom are
not considered responsible for their
actions, and who by birth and educa-
ton and tradition, to say nothing of
divine right, is to invite bloodshed,

Sir
Fred l.. WaIdron may not resemble

might prove embarrassing, | am in
clined 10 believe that Fred if he tried,

Father of his country couldn't
In one resject, nowever, Fred and
George agree. - the time that Wash
ington was CHOSEN as president, it was
a well known fact that he was opposed
on principal to a public official re.
ceiying compensation. During the Re-
vOlutiOnRry war he consistently retus-
ed remuneration.
His views on the subject are set
forth in the following paragraph from
his first inaugural address:
To the foregoing observations
have one to add which will be most
properly addressed to the House of
representatives. It concerns myself
and will, therefore, be as brief as pos
sible. When | was first hOnoTed by a
CaE into the service of my country,
then on the eve OF an arduous strug
gle for its hDer. -es, the light in which
| contemplated my duty required that
should renOunce every pecuniary
compensation. From this resolution
| have in no instance departed; and
being still under the impressions which
produced it, | must decline IS inappli-
cable to myself any share in the per.
sonal emoluments which may be in
dispensably included in a permanent
provision for the executive depart
ment, and must accordingly pray that
the pecuniary estimates for the sta
ton in which / am placed may during
my continuance in it be limited to such
actual expenditures as the public good
may be thought to require"
Therefore, We patriots wha call Wal
drons idea absurd, apologize to the
Shade of the late lamented George
Washington. .:...-a..

AN AUTO ASSOCIATION

The formation Of an automobile dissertation,
as promised by Harry f. Murray, is a good
thing if carried out on such scale that the as
SOciatiOn will be representative enough to he in
fuential. 1t should not be an association of
agencies, of garages, Of supply-hOusrS. of
chauffeurS or Of amateur drivers: it should in
cludP all these in its membership.
A few months ago, when several needless
and fatal auto accidents had stirred up the
community and the newspapers were urging
that an end be put to the depredations Of the
auto-fiendS. a wellknoWn businessman declared
there ought to be an association of autO-owners
TO protect the drivers against criticism and at
tack, or something of the sort. Now there has
been another epidemic of accidents and again
the community is awakened to the necessity
of doing something. In the meantime we have
seen nc move fer an auto association.
Such an association could be of value not
Gnly in helping to secure law enforcement, but
to secure good roads and general legislation in
which owners and drivers of cars are interest
cd. And at such times as Carnival Week the
association would be Of much use in helping to
promote various features of the celebration.
The idea is too good to be spoiled by merely
talking about it.

me FLIGHT OF TIE SMALL EUROPEAN STATES

The plight of such comparatively small
European states as Belgium and the duchy of
Luxembourg is strongly shown by their inabl-
ity now to prevent warning forces from over
running their supposedly neutral territory.
Proposals have been made from time to time
that an economic and political alliance be
formed among these small states, including
Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Luxembourg and
even Sweden and Norway, but the alliance has
never been perfected and the rapidly-swelling
Nar-tide in Europe finds these little countries
at a tremendous disadvantage in attempting
to maintain neutrality.
King Albert of Belgium recently visited
Switzerland and was authoritatively reported to
have then preached his idea of the small-state
alliance. The plan found favor in Berne
Albert was so enthusiastic over the matter that
he went actively to work in furtherance of the
idea and hoped that eventually Holland, Den
mark, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Sweden and
Norway might be brought together with Bel
rum in the alliance.
4 1t is understood that King Albert sees no
practicabiIity in the suggestion of a. defensive
alliance along military lines, as the countries
concerned are widely separated geographically
and weak in military forces even when taken
collectively. But he believes that some under
standing for common commercial and economic
aims would be of advantage to offset the com
mercial aggression some of the great Powers
are accused of practicing.
King Albert also recently approach the gov
eminent of Luxembourg with his proposal, but
he has been informed that as the principaity
is q member of the German Customs Union, it
is not free to enter into any economic arrange
rnenf with other countries
It is not impossible that these small states
will now hastily form an alliance of some kind
in the present crisis. The telegraphie dis
matches yesterday and today indicate that
Belgium will oppose German troops enter
inc her territory under any kind of an agree
ment and in this attitude England will proba-
hlv support the Belgian government for Eng

European war news is appearing in the col

The time of publication Of this paper and the
hours covered by its news service gives it

cure the big developments as they occur in the
theater of military and diplomatic action.
The difference in time between Honolulu and
European capitals is Approximately II hours

others. For instance the Star. Bulletins work

Berlin, 8 :05 D. H. in st. Petersburg. ~.
From 80 o'clock i'm the morning on through
the day there come over the wires all the varied
happenings Of the day in Europe The time
difference allows this paper TO cover fully and
authoritatively the days European events,

Hawaii by speedy wireless.
On the other hand, morning paper, getting
n telegraphic service which ends about IL
o'clock at night, cannot cover the daylight
hours in Europe. Its Geographic service han

In order to keep its readers fully informed
Of the various events as they occur all over the
