WAILUKU, Maui, May 25.-Urging

the people OF this county for the pres

Secretary Brown pointed out that
the day is one peculiarly Hawaiian

Honolulu, he said, does not want to

Honolulu Becoming Notorious

"Honolulu's roads are notorious on
the coast and the people there simply
cant understand why We should be
hurting our tourist business as We are
by failure to mend the faults" declar-
ed Charles G. Bockus, who returned
this week from San Francisco
They think Honolulu is insane to
tolerate such a condition and no Ho-
nolulans can get away from here and
realize what good roads are without
agreeing with them. 49, -.
Il used to think that Honolulu was
short OF amusements-thatw we weren't
offering the visitor enough. II that
was the case some years ago it Ger.
tainly isn't today, with the Hawaiian
climate, scenery, outdoor amusements,
social events and recreation of various
sorts. We lack just one thing-just
one feature-in comparison with Cali
fornia, for instance. That is decent
roads. ~...-.
The Honolulan who goes to the
coast gets this dinned into his ears
all the time from people who like the
islands Immensely but will not endure
our roads. Also, he gets it from
people who come here and stay a
short time because they are fascinat-
ed with Hawaii, but who won't bring
their autos here and who will advise
other people not to expect fairly de-
cent roads. -.
II know this is an old subject, but
it is more alive now than ever before
for we are in a position to get an
enormous tourist trade if we'll only

OF RAILROADS

Frederick G. Howe, cOm'r of i'm
migration at port of New York, adj
vocated govt ownership of railroads
at a speech made at a conference on
immigration at the Hotel Sherman.
He said that unless the govt did this

the railroads of the country had de-

her relatives many of the heroes of both wars.
Many years Mrs Ball became convinced that
the real history of flag was unknown She
determined to unravel the tangled skein and
give to posterty the true history and evolution
of the American flag
1t was suggested by early writer's that George
Washington's coat of arms the model for our
flag OF today said Mrs Bali These statements
are supported only by tradition and legend as
all my search has proved that Washington was
not egotfstical enough to present his OF arms
10 the nation as model for Its flag have
delved into history far as It is possible to go.
i have examined many manuscripts, and have
separated tradition and legend from facts. and it
Is my belief that Washington never thought OF
his coat OF arms model for the flag In fact.
there is grave doubt that Washington had any
thing TO do with the designing of the flag all.
"A sentence from of Washingtons
letters seems to to clinch this statement.
Sir Isaac Heard. eminent writer of the early
days, wrote TO Washington concerning his coat
of arms which appears upon the doorway and
mantels of the old Washington manor house in
England To this inquiry Washington replied
on May 9 1892:
This is subject which l confess have
paid very little attention. The arms inclosed in
your letter the same that are used by the
family here As will be seen this was a letter
written decade after the close of the Revolu-
tionary and nearly two decades after the
adoption of the Stars and Stripes by the congress
of the United States. II Washington at that late
date, had paid little attention to his coat of arms
he certainly paid less in his younger days. and
especially at time when he was surrounded by
enemies, Indignantly prosecuted by them, and
was naturally deeply engrossed in the army and
the preservation OF the newborn nation do not
find in all OF Washngton's writings a single allu-
sion by him of any OF his contemporaries that his
coat of arms used a model for the flag.
The evolution OF the flag gradual and
doubtedly grew ont of the desire OF the people
who had come to this country to get away from

four discovery flags.

was finally adopted after being modified by an
other committee"
The story of John Paul Jones is intimately
associated with the story of our first flag, The
same congress that created the first flag ap-
pointed John Paul Jones to command the Conti-
mental ship of war Ranger at the same time.
When the flag was prepared and the Ranger was
about to go forth her lonely adventure the
naval committee made the commander the first
official present of the flag of the United States
The achievements of the Ranger are matter
the world knows how, in 1777. Jones made such
gallant of the Ranger and kept the shores of
England and Scotland in constant terror.
