Miss Nell Lockwood. who came from
California recently for brief visit

and interesting program of Indian
songs at Charles r. Bishop Hall, Puma.

Both from a musical and a dramatic
standpoint the recital was full of in
terest Miss Lockwood appeared in
| the ideahzed costume of an Indian
maiden and her songs. stage settings
and interpretative acting carried out
the atmosphere of the North Ameri-
can Indian.
Her deep. sonorous contralto voice,
at times almost approaching the tim
bre of baritone, fits her vocally for
Indian music and she displayed con-
siderable dramatic ability. She is evi.
IDENTIFY quite familiar with the tribal
songs and costumes of many types of
Indians, particularly those of the
Southwest part of the North Ameri.
can continent, since .Zuni. Yuma and
other tribal songs were featured.
With the exception of Cadman's
very beautiful and characteristic Far
Off / Hear the Lovers Flute" Miss
LOckwood's most impressive songs
were in Indian language and dialects.
The opera "Natoma," which it was
at one time thought would set a
school of Indian grand opera, was no.
ticed in one of Victor Herbert's COM
positions. Beware of the Hawk, My
Baby in which Miss Lockwood ap-
peared with supposed papoose

HOPE.

Announcement that Governor Pinkham will call q
meeting Of propcrt-ewners affected by the Waikiki
reclamation scheme indicates that there is hope the
long delay in getting started this vital project
is to he ended.
As nearly as the Star Bulletin can learn from th
explanations Of various departments of the terri
foriaI government, the hitch has arisen over 1--WE
points: First. the responsibility Of owners for the
filling Of such portion OF their property as may be
taken for streets; and secondly, the location ana
proportions Of these streets,
There is talk that objections Of property-owners
are holding back the scheme. So far as this paper
knows or has been able to find ont the majority OF
property owners are willing and anxious that the
scheme should go ahead but the plans have not been
definite enough for them to act upon. IL there Is
any propertyso wner who is sitting on the barrier OF
obstructionism determined to fight this improve
ments, public sentiment will attend to him when he
is known.
If the plans are not definite, the first thing to do
is TO get them in such absolutely concrete shape
that the propertyowne know what is asked OF
them.

Hawaii has brought sugarcane cultivation and

seldom now does announcement come of method or

any claim To revolutionary discoveries.
But the announcement of new process for the
recovery of sucrose from final mOlasses made yes

ing and briefly reported in the last edition of the
Star Bulletin, appears be in the class of epoch
making events Mr.. j. y. :. Williams, whose study

claims for it, He gives his experience and indicates
the probability of success on a much larger scale.
With further study and perfection of machinery

largely from this method. Its announcement ar the
planters meeting shows that no matter what pro

Two or three correspondents have written to ask
why we print letters the vice situation fayoring
the continuance Of a restricted district Because
these letters show better than any article the
attitude and the arguments of those who believes or
profess TO believe that vice district is necessary
in Honolulu, show the factors working some Of
them honestly to continue the redght section The
fact that publication Of these letters has been fol-

the moral sentiment Of the community is awakening
against commercial vice, against winking at open
violation of the law against protection by the po-
lice for awbreakers, against tacit approval by the
community of violation of the statutes we know

PALAMA REPORT
SHOWS DISEASE
IS INCREASING

tuberculosis is gaining in Honolulu,
according TO the monthly report OF
Palama Settlement, which shows six
positive cases discovered during No
yember. compared with one in Sep
TENDER and four in October Other
wise the activities OF the settlement
workers were about the same as last
month If the figures in the report
which has been handed to Head Work
er James A. Rath are any indication.
New patients received were $50 and
the total number treated was 1IOl.
There were 1887 social calls made by
nurses and 1929 treatments admin
istened in the 30-day period, or an
average of over 600 a day.
Japanese treated numbered 90. Por.
tuguese 80, Hawaiians "A and Chi.
nese 81.
There was only one Irishman bene-
fitted by the settlement last month.
That Is not discredit on the settle
ment, however, but a testimonial to
the thriftiness OF the Barney boys,
say the workers. for that was only
one who applied for assistance.
In the schools there were 12,S2S

The gendarmes in Verdun seem to
keep catalogue of the shells which
fall in the town. Those who live in
bombarded towns take definite pride
in showing the visitors the holes made
by German projectiles and the houses
that they had thoroughly destroyed.

est satisfaction that one of the gen.
darmes asked us to come and see
his gate, because, during the previous
night he had counted 1T big shells
that had fallen into its neighborhood.

Perhaps the musician of the future

may hear in a bombarded town."

taking everything they can find in Yer

no shell has burst near enough to
