W..O. Smith ADDS
VOICE AGAINST
DISGUSTING HULA

w. o. Smith, commenting today on
Thomas G. Thrum's condemnation Of
the "disgusting hula" agreed thor
oughly with the veteran publicist that
the latter-day hula is in no sense the
reproduction of religious ceremony,
and added that in his opinion every
selfrespecting Hawaiian should take
a stand against the terpsichorean in
decencies being given in Hawaii as
we'll as on the mainland.
The hula as it is commonly danced
and commonly known today should be
the subject Of vigorous condemnation
and l do feel that every Hawaiian
should resent this reflection on the
decency and propriety of the race he
said. 1T is a gross misrepresenta-
ton, a distorted and nauseating YER
sion of a Hawaiian dance and it has
so far departed from its original that
there is virtually nothing of the orig
inal left. For the honor, the good
name Of the Hawaiian race, all men
and women of Hawaiian blood should
join in discontenancing these indecent
exhibitions. Simply because some
people, including tourists, want to see
them Is no excuse for their existence.
They are a shame to the islands.

with regard to the distinction between
selective draft and registration:
From many letters received daily
the war department learns that regis

COMPOUNDED. These are separate and
distinct processes. Registration is
simply the enrolling of all male resi-

the ages Of 81 and 80, inclusive. Every
male resident between the designated
ages must register on the date set by
the presidents proclamation unless he
is in the regular army, the navy, the
national guard or naval militia, actu-
ally in the federal service.
The enrolling is done in each vot-
ing precinct by a registrar appointed
for the purpose. The duties Of the
registrar are mandatory and are per-
formed under the sanction Of an oath.
Nothing is left to his discretion. He
