His Mainland Vacation and
Tells of His Plans

DR.. Doremus Scudder, pastor Of the
Central Union church. returned in the
Matsonia with Mrs. Scudder from a
two months trip on the mainland.
About November IL the doctor ex-
poets TO leave for his new post In
Japan
Glad to get back TO Hawaii; happy
for two months more work with the
church here and rugged with the
weatherings Of a long vacation in
Maine. the Honolulu minister talked
enthusiastically of his observations in
the states, hts political beliefs and
the new work in Toxic.
He Is not one of those per-
sons who talks only TO those politi-
clans whose beliefs concur with the
speaker, but looked carefully into the
Republican and Democratic cam
paigns during his journey across the
American continent, read the news
papers, talked with the rich and poor,
and finally came TO the conclusion as
he sat in. the broad lanai overlooking
the bay this morning that II would be
a mighty close race, with a shade the
best OF ton both sides.

On the other hand the pastor be-
lieyes the strike settlement reduced

less and wish to rebuke him.
Built Fires in Maine
DR.. and Mrs. Scudder spent nearly |
all OF their vacation at Seal Harbor |
On Mount Desert Island, Maine. This
little piece of mountain peak is one |
OF the easternmost islands of Unit
ed States, has hills 1900 feet high |
which are interlaced with maze OF |
interesting trails and is the rendez-
vous every summer of students OF all /
kinds, ministers. college presidents,
university professors, doctors and so
forth. The nights are so chilly there
That q lire is necessary indoors for /
comfort in the evenings. The Homo.
lulu people say II seemed quite unique
to sit once more by a big CRATE fire
and roast their toes. /
Df Scud0er has noti made defihitei
arrangements for leaving and will not
do so until he meets with the church |
trustees, but his cali to the Union
church at Toxic is for November IL |
and he hopes to leave at that time.
In Japan the pastors work in the |
church. which is partially supported
as an Anglo-American community by /
the missionary societies of America,
Will be similar TO that in Honolulu,
but on the outside he viii engage in
considerable missionary and advance
ment work In which his knowledge of /
the japanese language makes him
particularly fitted for the work. He
was In Japan before for six years.

One of the most interesting and |
instructive phases of DR.. and Mrs.
Scudder's trip was the inspection in
Los Angeles OF the great movie cities, /

Mrs. Scudder especially looked into
the wonderful work the Y. w. c. A. is
doing there for the thousands OF girls
who have flocked into Los Angeles in
hopes of becoming famous actors, oft
en- spending their last dollar to get
there only TO find they did not have a
