HULA DOLLS, NOT
TEDDY BEARS, NEW
... WASHINGTON FAD?

,"How do you do, Miss Hula Doll.
This may be an accepted greeting
In Washington, d. c., two months
hence. It used to be the fad to carry
Teddy bears. Now it may become a
fad to carry the dusky little hula
dolls which are in evidence in nearly
every curio store IN Honolulu.
The ladies of the congressional par
ty have started the fad, or may start
it. anyway, they are buying up the
little dolls pretty regularly, and it is
common sight to see one Of the fair
members promenading the .lanais Of
the Moaiia with a Miss Hula on her
arm. .>.".. &E.. .>..> ......
And why not? Generally, when a
hula doll is purchased by q malihini,
1t is taken home to occupy place on
the mantel-piece or some other part of
a house interior This is the way it
was with the Teddy bears until carry
ing them became d fad.
After all, It looks as If the hula
doll is to at last have her inning, and
If she does the women of the congress
ional party will be responsible. The
women aren't saying anything, how
ever. Perhaps they are vieing with
one another to see VINO will be first
to start the fad.
So Washington, D. C., may we'll look
forward to hula doll invasion short
ly, and Hawaii at least Honolulu
will get the credit.

Weird IDEAS OF
LIFE IN ISLANDS
Representative Rodenberg Told
Sierra Passengers of VaeGi-
nation Against Fruit Fly

Representative Rodenberg is max
ing his second visit to the Islands,
which accounts for his ability to
frame a story that would startIe his
fellow passengers on the Sierra en-
route. When the honorable gentle
man made his first trip to the Islands
/ 1t was as member, perhaps chair
man, of the Civil Service Commission.
and he had with him a portly gentle
man, also a member of the commits
sion, whose official residence was in
Washington, D. c. :.
1t was during that visit that he
made the Fourth Of July address In
HiIo and it was some speech. There
are these who heard it that have only
to close their eyes, and in their
dreams they see Old Glory ripping
as it did then, and there was nothing
but the magnetism Of Mr. Rodenberg
that made it move. And talk about
the eagles scream, why every mynah
bird within a radius of several blocks
of the Hilo hotel took up the notes,
and each Fourth of July they think OF
Rodenberg and the flag and turn
loose. But about his story on the boat.
They say it was in the smoking
room of the Sierra. when he got to-
gether a number Of first trippers. He
told them how the land was all the
property of John D. Rockefeller and
the beaches belonged to the Spreckels
family, and those who wanted to
battle in the ocean were obliged to
pay a license of ten dollars per an
mum. ..'t
Honolulu was backward about bag.
gage transfer facilities, he said. The
Hawaiians were too easy-going to
work and when man went ashore
with a trunk he would find street
merchants with skads Of rope which
they would sell the passengers and
they could draw their baggage to the
hotels. But the greatest bother to
visitors, Mr.. Rodenberg told them,
was the law regarding sanitation and
the protection of the fruit industry.
Every person landing on the shores
of Oahu had to submit to vaccination
to make them immune from the Med
iterranean fruit fly attacks. Aside
from these little annoyances Honolu-
lu and the islands generally were all
right. j.
One of the listeners who had paid
great attention to the remarks and
kept still, said quietly: "Rody, Il
have five in my party and at ten per
1t will cost me fifty for bath. | do
not think | would kick at that, but at
fruit fly vaccination, draw the line.
You will make my excuses to the
delegate and his constituents, for I'm
going to stay aboard this ship till she
gets back to Gods country. Three
rousing cheers.
