Charles B. Towns, the anti-drug

trip to Hawaii with the news that
even Hawaii is revolving against the
hula hula that was SO popular on
Broadway for a time.
He says that the good people of
Hawaii have realized that the Ha-
waiian dances have deteriorated into
a lescivious wiggle and that the orig
inal mahogany-hued hula hulaist who
used to trip the dark fantastic while
gaily arrayed in the modest shade of
a stove pipe hat, would never recog-
nize the decadent offspring of her fiex-
ing muscles ss done in America.
The hula hula got to be such a nuis
ance that the police stopped 1t at
many New York cabarets and stopped
the dances. With the decadence of
this dance it is also noted by a man
who knows Broadway that there are
no more Hawaiian eukelale players.
A man who manufactured eukalales
went into bankruptcy the other day.
There is only one thing that has sur
vived the Hawaiian craze and that
is poi-one of the national dishes.
There is a poi shop on Fifth avenue,
Poi is eaten by the diners sticking
their fingers into the dish, giving a
quick swirl. and then inserting what
sticks thereto into the mouth. 1t is
something like eating spaghetti-only
more so.

New York, Day by Day
BY o. o. MCINTYRE.

Special Correspondent of The Washington Herald.
New York, July 1.-THE rights of
delicatessen dealers-which it might
be said have at no time compared
with their wrongs-were reviewed
briefly the other day in Jefferson
Market Court. 1t was established to
the satisfaction of everyone present
except Johann Unger that delicates-
sen products are to be delivered into
the hand rather than the eye of the
customer.
Mr.. Unger. whose salesroom and
cookery is at 461 West Fourteenth
street, was arrested on the complaint
of Nathan Berkowitz, a pickle pur-
chaser, who stated that he had been
killed outright by the defendant short
ly after sunrise.
He declared he had bought a side of
cheese and a flock of pickles while
discussing the war and that ne was
in the midst OF pretty fair sentence
when he received the pickles right be-
tween the eyes. For a moment every
thing went sour before him and when
he recovered himself he found Mr..
Unger engaged in wringing his neck.
Mr.. Unger in his own defense rose
to state that IL every customer who
bought a dimes worth of digestion
ruiner in his place thought he could
blame Mr.. Unger for the Kaiser's
conduct there was a mistake some-
where He made it clear that the.
presence of Mr.. Berkowitz on earth
was annoying.
Anyway the magistrate. after OBJ
serving the bripy eyes and fiorid neck
OF Mr.. Berkowitz decided that Mr..
Gnger could easily spare so from the
days receipts in exchange for the al
legged Prussian frolic.

Hing s2.s miles on a gallon. Eighty
Elk Of the $50 dealers who made this

tons that were encountered this is
a remarkable feat, and one which the
Franklin people can well be proud
TO boast of.
A car from the Washington Frank
lin agency left here for Baltimore at
6 o'clock Friday morning. The run
was made in about two hours and
the car made SS miles on a gallon
Of gasoline. Joseph Berberich, prom

eial observer, on the Franklin car,
