BACK
FROM j, S. TRIP

'T can tell you who will be the next
collector of customs for Honolulu is
the way Collector NJ. A. Franklin an
swered queries this morning as to
who was to be the next governor OF
Hawaii. He arrived this morning
from a three months visit to eastern
cities and his former home in the
South. -....
Regarding the appointment of a
successor to the late James Haley as
collector of internal revenue, he was
a little more definite. II believe a
man from the state of Washington
will be the next internal revenue col
lector," he said He admitted then
that he thought the next collector OF
customs was to be man from the
South who Is known in Honolulu after
three years and half residence here.
He protested not to know the name of
the man from Washington
The Honolulu collector is enthusi-
astic over the great beauty and fine
arrangements which the new federal
building will have when constructed.
He rather dashes his enthusiasm with
statement that he doubts If the
building will be erected until after
the war ...-.
Lack of bottoms to bring building
material here is the basis for his be-
lief, although he declares his guess is
not official.
~ ork and Sawyer of New York are
the greatest architects in the world,
and the plans for the Honolulu build
ing are the work Of artists" he de-
clared. The collector was in Washing
ton for a conference regarding the
construction of the building.
mo one can gain admittance to any
of the high officials in Washington to
talk anything other than the war, and
pressing department business said
the collector This is one of the rea.
sons given by him for his protested
lack Of political knowledge.
You can count on one thing-from
the highest official to the lowest loyal
citizens all America Is confident it is
going to give the Germans we'll de-
served licking" the collector says Of
the conflict.

The children of the Kona-Kaena
school gave a most creditable and en-
joyable entertainment for the benefit
of the Kona unit of tile Red Cross last
Saturday evening. The Akana hall
had been most tastefully decorated for
the occasion and was filled to over
flowing by a highly appreciative au-
dienee, representative of most OF the
families of this part Of Kona and OF
all nationalities. The program con-
sisted of singing and folk dancing The
singing, under the direction of Mr.. S.
K. Toomey, was rendered in q man
ner which showed not only that the
children of this school possess much
musical talent, but that much work
and energy were exp ended in their
training. The folk dancing was most
admirably performed and reflects
great credit on the pupils and their in.
structors.
During the evening two brief ad.
dresses were made, the first on the
general work and organization of The
American Red Cross Association, the
second giving in detail what is being
done and has been done by the Kona
unit. The whole affair was thorough.
ly enjoyed by the audience and many
expressions of approval were heard
that the principal and his able staff
were adding to their general school
work instructions in the great princi.
