MOTHERS OF HODOLULIIA
Plan FOR MOVIE MATINEES

try and meet the demands and expec-
tations of all interested In good films
Should the plan prove the success
that is anticipated it will eventually
mean that Honolulu will sha-e in
some of the wonderful films now
causing such a stir in the mainland.
Great care viii be maintained in
the selection o. the matinee films,
and whenever clever feature film is
available that meets the require
ments of the leagues standard 1t shall
be run for the benefit Of the matinee
audience. Some leeway, however,
must be granted for meeting the ages
of the attendance-it cannot all appeal
to children under or 10 years of age.
for the older ones are entitled to their
consideration and while possibly en-
joying fairy tale, will greatly prefer
Molly Make-Believe, and this must
be recognized when criticizing the
theater's efforts.
Several prominent educators have
expressed their unqualified approval
OF the work of the league, and many
mothers and prominent women in var
fed capacities stand ready to extend
their Endorsement; but for all the en-
thusiasm and energy of the active
workers, success cannot be hoped for
without the support of the Honolulu
public.
II is the request then of those in
terested that you do not regard this
effort in passive sympathy and appro-
val, but become an active member of
the circle by enlistins yourself and
your neighbor into demonstrarive re-
suit. Bring your own children, or If
you haven't any borrow one, at least.
1t will be treat for the little ones
and liberal education for yourself

Hawaii Not So P iimitiye As Songs
Would Make Out, Says Gotham Writer

fare worker for the hula hula girls
The layers of society are as definitely
marked there as anywhere else, and
If you have nothing and want every
thing, you face the same social Inn
passe that you race at home.
Some people live, perhaps, print.
tive, easygoing existences, but after
while the dirt and the sordidness
kill the charm-even as it often does
in Greenwich village, and there Is al
ways the necessity, as soon as you be
gin to throw of the bonds of culture
of avoiding the police. Even in Ha.
vail the police stand in the way OF
life.
Besides, in Hawaii there would be
the same difficulty about coping three
or four times day with that insa-
table hunger,@and the same problems
Of paying rent, of buying straw hats,
of purchasing white suits. For who
could live in the tropics and not wear
white? And worse than all else would
be the rows Of comfortable, SNUG
bourgeois bungalows, inhabited by
prosperous officials and traders, whose
worldly comfort might take the edge
of your adventure. Over and over
again they would din in your ears
that the same things counted out here
that counted at home in Brooklyn, or
in New Jersey. Automobiles, houses,
dinners and clothes are still the thing
even out at the end of the world.
You might as well stay at home.

They Are Making
Ukuleles Out Of
Paper Boxes Now

SANTA MONICA, Cal, Aug. A.
Paper ukuleles are the latest creation
of a local music dealer, Antoine Buster.
who conducts a shop on Third street,
and who for long time has been de-
monstrating the feasibility of using
cardboard in stringed instruments, has
at last put his ideas in ukulele form.
The inventor, who is musician Of no
mean ability, has successfully applied
his principle to a number of different
types of stringed instruments, but has
just completed his work on the instru-
ment using cardboard dulcina.
They are making ukuleles out Of
paper boxes in Santa Monica, Califor-
MIA, hence this sad note:
Oh, they're dancing to tune played
on the Cincinnati Post,
And they're making ukuleles out of
postcards on the coast.
And the maidens when they're lonely
always drive away the blues,
Playing Honolulu Tomboy on the San
Francisco News.
When we go out in the evening to at
tend fancy ball,
They just grab a Golfers Weekly or
a San Francisco Call
Then they place the two together and
as simple as can be,
We can hear the Hula Hula or the
Beach at Waikiki
All the housewives now are saving
paper wrapped around the meat,
And the price Of magazines has more
thau doubled on our street
Mr.. Buster was busy when he started
out this time.
Soon Hawaiian ukuleles will be selling
for dime.

To avoid closing East Washington avenue to travel for about a year while the new bridge is being built there, it is proposed to build the new draw span in the air and lower it into place when it is finished This method would mean the bridge would be closed to travel for but a few days. At a joint meeting of the East Washington avenue and the Grand street bridge commissions last night this project was discussed w. F. Leonard, repre- senting J. A. Strauss of Chicago, who will be engineer for both bridges, was instructed to work out plan if pos sible to build the bridge without clos ing the structure to travel for more than month
 There is a $130,000 bond issue for the structure and $220. 900 for the Grand street bridge. Bids on both structures will be opened at noon in the common council chamber. The Grand street bridge vii have a double roller lift bascule and the East Washington ave- nue bridge a single leaf bascuIe
