HAWAIIAN MUSIC
PROVES PLEASING

Seldom have Rock Islanders had the
privilege of listening TO so unique and
satisfying a musical entertainment as
was presented at the chautauqua yes
terday afternoon and evening by the
Royal Hawaiian orchestra. 1t is one
Of the leading organizations Of its
kind in a land which loves music and
which has a music Of its own. Hawai-
ian music is pIaintive and sweet. 1t
pleases the ear and at the same time
reveals the character Of the people
from which il springs. 1t tells of gen
tleness and peace, with an undertone
of sorrow for the failing fortunes OF a
people which, bounded about by phys
ical and other limitations has given
way before the aggressive pressure OF
the stronger and more yirile races
Two of the members Of the organ
ization heard here yesterday are typi-
cal Sandwich islanders The others
were lighter, showing a mixture of
blood. But all seemed to enter into
the spirit Of the native music which
made up a considerable part Of the
program. They played native instru-
meuts. notably the ukeleIe, made like
q small mandolin and sounding not
unlike the banjo, and sang native
songs. All were CARRIED in native COS
tune with wreathes made to represent
flowers. but in reality Of paper, about
their necks There was some eXcep-
tionally fine solo work. notably Mr..
Hennessy's" work with the guitar.
A vein OF humor ran through the re
marks Of the members who announced
the program. He spoke in broken Eng
Iish and the manner Of speaking, as
wen as what he said, made him an in
slant favorite with his audience
The orchestra entertained for an
hour each afternoon and evening with
d complete change Of program

CHAUTAUQUA TENT

1t was hot yesterday and today at

there were large and representative
audiences present and interest in the
programs caused everyone to forget
the common cause OF discomfort. The
tent is pitched on the edge of the bluff
on the baseball grounds at the west
end of the park and overlooking Rock

cation and one where there will be cool
breezes whenever there are any stir

Yesterday afternoon the tent was
fairly well filled and in the evening

Tomorrow is Bryan day at the
chautauqua. Mr.. Bryan has not an

is likely that he will deal with the
subject now nearest his heart. namely

up 10 this war which he. as secretary
OF state. had exceptional opportunity
to become familiar with. forecast the
consequences Of the conflict and point
the way he believes best to avoid a rep

slaughter and destruction
Mir. Bryan viii speak al o'clock in
the afternoon. Other afternoon pro-

buyer is quick and nervous the sales
man must speak quickly or the pros
pect Will think faster than he talks
and become impatient.
An important guide for the salesman
is the manner of wearing the hat The
man with his hat on squareIy usually
is a leyel-headed sort OF d chap. The
one with the hat on the back OF his
head is apt to be Of the heart type,
while the one with the hat on either
side Of his head is a dude.
Do not say too much in the begin
ning State your proposition and
then give the customer chance and
be guided as much by the emphasis
and infection placed upon what he
says as upon the words themselves
And, having brought him to the buying
point, stop talking. II is easy, after
inducing man to buy, to Overdo and
talk him out OF the notion again.
Sees Our Destiny.
In his conclusion, DR. Krebs point
ed out what he believed is the destiny
of America in connection with the
present world upheaval. We can bet
ter serve the interests of humanity by
STAYING out of the war than by get
ting into it and fighting for what we
believe is right, he declared.
There have been greater nations on
earth than the United States, the
speaker admitted. There have been
more DopuIous ones and some have
been able thousands Of years ago to
accomplish things which even we, with
all our modern knowledge and advan-
tages, cannot now do. These nations
all fell. not primarily because Of at
tacks from without, but because Of
class wars within. Herein lies the
great danger to America But the
speaker expressed the belief that
remedy at last has been found for the
internal strife that has rent other ma
tions An era OF industry and COM
merce. government encouraged and
loved by those who are engaged IL it,
will follow the present war and it will
solidify and unity the peoples Of the
earth so that hereafter wars of mag
nitude will be impossible.
The business man is coming to his
own. He is the force which viii bring
the nations together and make strife
and bloodshed and voluntary destruc-
ton Of property impossible. He must
do his part in the resurrection of Eur
ope after the war, and for this he is
even now prepared. The making Of
permanent peace is the ultimate func-
tiCn OF business.

came early in the afternoon with their
lunches and remained for the evening
and this will be the case all week, no
doubt.
Rev. George W. Wise is platform
manager. Much of the pleasure OF. the

way Of handling things generally. His
