Scout Commissioner Who Wis.
tied Here Tells Mainlanders
of Movement in Islands

Late last year Capt ]. van Beuren
Mitchell, Scout Commissioner of Nor
| ristown, n j., and chief of staff to
Daniel Beard, visited Hawaii and in
spected the Boy Scouts here.
Capt. Mitchell's very flattering opin-
ion of the Scout movement in the ter
ritory is set forth in the January 10
number of Scouting, which has just
reached here. The article appearing
under his signature says Of Hawaii:
mo scout official could see what
have seen of Scouting in the past six
months without being impressed with
the universal appeal of the scout
idea and the marvel of program 50
adaptable to differing conditions.
Out in the mid-Pacific, in the ter
ritory which so needs closer bond
with the mainland, the development
of the Boy Scout Movement is doing
more than any other one thing to Gre
ate a feeling of brotherhood between
boys there and here--a feeling which
is sure to be of political and CONNER
cial value in the years to come.
Conditions Favorable in Hawaii.
Conditions in the Hawaiian Islands
are especially favorable to Scouting.
There it is summer all the year
round and the outdoor season lasts y
months. In consequence all activities
are under the blue sky and scouts in
these beautiful islands learn to be
more proficient in hiking, swimming,
tracking, etc, than the boys in those
parts of the country who are compel
ed by weather conditions to hold in
door meetings perhaps six months Of
the year.
There are two things that impress
one particularly in connection with
the scouts of the Hawaiian Islands.
First, the mixture of nationalities.
which includes Hawaiians, boys from
the States, Filipinos, Chinese, Japan
csc and Portuguese. This cosmopoli-
tan group of boys seem to vie with
each other for supremacy in the act
iyities of the movement and what it
stands for. In swimming, of course,
they excel and there are hardly any
who are not able to ride the surf
boards and to manipulate an outrigser
canoe in the wonderful surf that rolls
in from the Pacific.
No Cigarette Smokers There.
Physical fitness seems to be uni
versal among the boys in this land
of palms. In all the time l was on
the islands | never saw a boy under
Is smoking a cigaret. This, in part.

Leslie L. Burr Declares That
Man is Doing Little to Help
Nature Here
BY LESLIE L. BURR.

In the building of an ideal city, neat
ness and utility are the two principal
essentials. The average citizen OF
most cities has some kind of an idea
as to what his city should be; the
street plan: building restrictions; ar
chiteCtures, etc: and has desire
that his particular city should ap-
proach somewhere near what he con-
sders the ideal. It is proper that
every citizen should take pride In the
city in which he lives; yet he should
not let that pride blind him into be-
| lieving that his particular city IS that
| which it is not. Cities like lndivid
uals have their faults: but these faults
have to be known and understood be-
fore they can be corrected. And they
are not always known, for sometimes
We become so accustomed 70 them
| that we do not recognize their exist
ence In such cases the only agent
that will open our eyes to the fact
that such faults exist is honest. I'M
biased criticism Human nature, in
dividually or collectively, needs this
criticism, and if deprived of it is lack
ing some of the essentials necessary
to its complete development. AS an
example of the result of lack of criti-
cism, take the so-called typical old
maid. The reason that she differs
from her married sisters of her own
age is that, lacking spouse, she is
deprived of that criticism that takes
place between parties that enjoy the
relations of wedlock; that frank criti-
cism that no person but a woman's
/ I'm nd Mill rryhi oh
lacking, causes her to develop those
certain idiosyncraeies that are synon-
ymous with the term old maid.
Trusting that the foregoing is a
sufficient explanation for the criticism
that follows regarding the condition
and needs of Honolulu; and that such
criticism will be taken in the spirit
in which it is given; that is, without
animus. 0-~'
EnVirons Of Honolulu. ,.y
Nature was lavish with her favors
to Honolulu, in providing setting for
beautiful city. Climate, soil and en-
virons are such as of which few cities
in the world can boast.
AS to the city Of Honolulu itself.
That which man has constructed is
far from in accord with the setting ma
ture gave. The citizen of Honolulu
who says that the city is either beau
tiful or properly constructed, is either
a victim of sublime ignorance or is
lacking in mental perception; and the
stranger within our gates who says
that Honolulu is beautiful or properly
constructed is either handing out ca
loric unadulterated, or is ignorant of
the common fundamentals of civic
beauty and utility. To give an honest
criticism of the city of Honolulu, leay-
ing out the natural environs and
bounties of nature, is to say that it is
a conglomerate of heterogeneous in
congruities. Let those who think that
the residence district of Honolulu,
aside, from the vegetation that hides

WHO AM /?

Under this title, Mrs Adah L. Rous-
san of Osceola, Ark. who edits one of
the best weekly papers in the United
States, has produced an editorial con-
tTibution that will take place as one
of the newspaper masterpieces of the
year We could tell you what it is in
our own way, but Mrs. Roussan has
told in way so much better that
we'll just quote her verbatim: .s
Il am more powerful than the COM
bined armies of the world.
Il have destroyed more men than
all the wars of the world
81 am more deadly than bullets and
have wrecked more homes than the
mightiest of siege guns.
Il spare no one and l find my. vic.
Tins among the rich and the poor
alike, the young and the old. the
strong and the weak, widows and or.
phans know me. u
Il loom up in such proportions that
cast my shadow over every field of
labor, from the turning of a grind.
stone to the moving of a railroad
train.
Il massacre thousands upon thou
sands of wage earners in a year.
Il am relentless. l am everywhere;
in the home, on the streets, in the fac
tory, at railroad crossings and on the
sea.
Il bring sickness, degradation and
death. yet few seek to avoid me-
Il destroy, crush or MAIN, yet | give
nothing.
Il AM CARELESSNESS."

PROPER BUILDING ORDINANCES
ARE NEEDED, SAYS SHARP CRITIC

| the structures. is beautiful or has any
of the attributes Of beauty, compare
! il with the modern residence district
of the city Of Los Angeles or Fl Paso.
II a block of the average residence
district Of Honolulu were placed in the
residence district of either of the
aboye-named cities, it would produce
about the same appearance as would
a cabbage in a rose garden. The only
beauty in the residence district of HO-
noluIu is its wealth of vegetation, If
the buildings we're to be seen some
morning, stripped bare of the sur
rounding trees and shrubs, the city of
Honolulu would present such hide
Gus spectacle as would deplete the
English language of adjectives to de-
scribe.
tArchitectures of the Business District.
The Spanish people discovered long
ago the best type of architecture suit
ed to business buildings in tropical
countries In the Imperial Valley Of
California that type has been adopted.
It was adopted in the first cities built
there as matter of course In the
newer towns, however, in order to
being used, building ordinances were
framed before the first buildings were
constructed. The principal clauses of
these ordinances are to the effect that
all business buildings shall be con-
structed Of either stone. brick or con-
crete, and that all such buildings shall
be arcaded over the sidewalks.
The arcade over the sidewalk, or
rather the sidewalk within the build
ing, is the distinctive feature of the
Spanish architecture Had Honolulu,
when the business buildings were con-
structed, followed the accepted proper
type of tropical architecture and ar
caded over the walks, there would be
a city here today, the business district
Of which could be spoken of with
pride. The shoppers and pedestrians
along the business streets would be
sheltered from the hot sun during the
summer, and from the wet when it
rained; the interior of the stores
would be cool and delightful and there
would be an incentive to the passerby
to enter them. Arcaded business
streets in Honolulu would create city
for which the tourist would travel to
see, and views of which would consti,
tute art.
The Remedy.
With a city, when once constructed,
it is case of the sins of the parents
being inherited by the children. Cities
are not built in a day; and some of
the buildings of the present city will
stand for years to come. But because
plumbers have been committed in the
past is no reason why remedies should
not be provided for the future With
in the next few years a great portion
of the business district of Honolulu
will be rebuilt. A glance up Fort
street from Merchant-.and every
where can be seen structures that in
the course of natural events should be
superseded in the course of the next
few years. In place Of accepting mat
tiers as they are, proper building ordi-
nanees should be passed, demanding
that future buildings shall be con-
structed along lines off architecture
suited to the conditions that exist
here in Honolulu.

GARBAGE is BASIS
FOR EXPLOSIVES AND
~" BECOMES VALUABLE

NEW YORK, N, Y.-The war and
the resultant demand for nitro-glycer.
inc are given as the reasons for a
legal contest which has begun here
for a contract to remove the garbage
of New York city. Although the city
has paid $3,75O,O0O in seventeen years
for removal Of its garbage, a com.
pany now offers the city 100000 for
that privilege for five years.
Counsel for the new bidders ex-
planned why the garbage had sudden
" become so valuable by saying the
product, after being treated with
steam, is grease, the value, Of which
at present is high. From this grease,
he said, comes glyeerine, from which
is made nitro-glycerine.
