Who Is Lincoln MCCONNELL

Lincoln Mcconnell is the son of a
Tennessee lawyer and was early trained
in the study OF law. At the close OF
his college career he went West and be-
came a cowboy, but later returned to
the South, where he became police
man on the Atlanta police force. He
was soon promoted to the position of
detective, in which capacity he served
for four years, and still later acted as
assistant to the solicitor in the criminal
court for two years.
He has made over 5000 public adj
dresses in the last twelve years, and
wherever he has gone he is universally
conceded to be one OF the most original
and unique speakers before the public.
Don't make the same mistake twice.
If you missed hearing Adrian Newens,
you made great mistake; don't make
another by failure to hear Mcconnell.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional treatment

While from the many drivers lips,
At their teams, they curse (and there's

In the calling.
The clang of the surface car,
The rumble of the overhead road;
The angry snap of the motorman
At the driver of the moving van;
They are the progress traffic's code.

WITH $4,000 TROOPS HERE.

In announcing at the AID Club yesterday that
Oahu will have $4,000 troops here within a
comparatively short time, Maj.-Gen Carter
draws attention anew to the very large military
populati6n which is becoming an integral part
of Honolulu life
in the coming of the large number of soldiers
there is a problem and an opportunity for
sHoBolulu II IS perfectly apparent that $4,000
soldiers or 600 bankers or $4,000 mechanics
Or ,22,e00 college boys cannot be added to the
normal population. of Oahu without creating
problems and opportunities. The need that
has presented itselfsup to this time in connecz-
ton with the military population is the need
for recEeation andsentertainment when the
I men are outside their post reservations The
soldiers desire andAliave the right to desire a
clean, decent and pleasant social life, just as
every Normal Human being does. Yet it is un-
fortunately. true that the places where the sol
2diers can go for their hours of entertainment
and secretion are extremely limited The the
aters are available; of these there is lit
tie butrthe saloons and it is unfair to the men
in uniform, just as it wouldsbe unfair to bank
eis or mechanics, .toSsay that as class they
prefer to'spend their time in saloons. They
