Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin.
Sir: Incidents and scenes of patri-
otto nature are frequently thrown on
the screens of our local moving pic
ture shows, and they never fail to
bring forth a thunder of hand-clapping
from nearly everybody in the audience,
There are a few exceptions. These
exceptions are well-known Germans Of
this city. Let patriotic citizens OBJ.

hand-clapping is going on, and size up
the features of those who do not join
in the patriotic demonstration, but
actually scowl their disapproval. Are
they wild us or agin us?''

COURTESY AS A BUSINESS ASSET.

No businessman in Honolulu has better asset
than courtesy.
Your company, whether it is selling boots or
meat, hauling passengers, or laying pavement,
makes friends largely in proportion TO the courtesy
exhibited by those who deal directly with the public.
The 'public-be-damhed' policy goes neither for
the corporation in its general policy nor for the en-
ployes who carry out the details of that policy.
This simple truth sometimes is forgotten.
1t ought to be remembered by Honouus largest
corporation, the city and county of Honolulu, as
we'll as by private firms.

the chauffeur adopt more reasonable pace.
