Declaring that the European war
was brought about largely by spiritual
laxity among the countries Of the Old
World-the materialism Of Germany,
the agnosticism of France, the greed
of England-and that the lives and

been sacrificed on the altar Of an IN

pointed out, the big issue in his opin-

they denounced the destructive forces
at work undermining the peace and
happiness of the people; they predict
ed the inevitable consequences Of these
forces provided they were allowed to
run riot and overthrow the spiritual
balance wheel, without which no ma

They saw what was coming and they
sounded the warming. But what was
the result? They were laughed at,
seeffed at, ridiculed by people whose
creed Of materialism rendered them
blind to everything else. -."

Hawaii. the Worlds Melting Pot, "
was the topic OF an essay read by
Benjamin H. K. zap, one Of the men,
bers OF the class of 1916, at the COM
mencement exercises of Mckinley
high school in the opera house last
Friday evening.
The essay follows:

the epitome of one OF the world s
greatest writer's when he was asked
how this group of islands, which COM

these immigrants and their children

races forming most cosmopolitan

tact Of so many races, representing as
many countries, and as many different
customs and manners, would produce
some sort of race prejudice among the
people. This is not so, as any obser-
want person will tell you. But this
varied population is a credit to Ha.
wall because the consideration that
one race has Tor another. is almost
that of brother for brother,t and sister

WOULDOPPOSE
Opening HERE
OF MOVIE CITY?
Child Welfare Committee, How
ever. Stands Ready to Help
Protect Women and Girls

That the Child Welfare Committee
will cooperate with any local organi-
cation in the protection OF women and
children in the event that moving
picture city is established in Homo
lulu, was the decision reported by
Mrs. D0remus Scudder in a talk at a
Children's Aid Association today.
Mrs. Scudder reported to the asso-
citation on the progress of the work
of the welfare committee and outlined
some of its plans for the coming year
While it is reported that number of
local women are opposed to the con-
templated establishment OF the movie
city and that campaign 10 dis
courage the project might be started.
Mrs. Seudder stated that she has
heard of no protest.
In the course OF her talk she said
that the moving picture city in Los
Angeles has been found to be great
menace to the moral well-being of the
community and that, in some quarters,
1t is felt that the establishment of a
city here would call for the increased
protection tof children. as well as
young girls who might apply for en-
ployment at the city.
AT a recent meeting of the Child
Welfare Committee the matter of pro-
lection and guidance of girls seeking
employment at the proposed city was
referred to the Y. w. C. A., which now
has under consideration the matter
Of acting as guardian for them
Aside from her remarks on the
movie city Mrs Scudder outlined the
aims and OBJECTS of the welfare COM
nittee, stating that the central COM
mittee of that organization now is
acting as a clearing house where
various problems, which cannot be
handled by individuals, are considered.
The protection of girls as regards the
movie city is one of these problems.
Supervision of the new city play
ground has been taken over by the
kindergarten association, it was re-
ported today, and from now on that
organization will look after the child
rem who patronize the amusement
feature. A competent woman is now
in charge of the grounds.
The next meeting of the associa-
ton will be held on September 8.
