DR.. F. B. Strauss, city health officer, in a proclamation issued this
afternoon for "a cleaner and a more beautiful cty" urges the neces-

proclamation is as follows:
'1n view of the fact that Mayor Lucas has set apart the week of
April % to 30 a Cleanup, Paintup week." it is especially DESTROYS
that all civic forces cooperate in this movement for a cleaner and
more beautiful city.
"FTom a sanitary standpoint, it is important that the back wards
receive attention first. All rubbish, garbage, ashes and refuse of any
kind should be removed at once. These are breeding pIaces for

way OF Fastening the end of the war.
Certainly unless the Germans have
entirely lost the power to think for
themselves, a little study of these fig

hopelessness of their situation.
And it ought to impress them with
the criminal stupidity of their rulers,
whose policies have forced the great

make war against them.

Sir: Inasmuch as you have asked
your readers for an expression OF
opinion about the Carnival, will ven
ture word, though otherwise the fact
that am yet a stranger here would
incline me to less public utterance.
The Carnival as a whole reminded
me CT the small boy who was urged
to stay to dinner at a neighbor' s
house, and again and again urged TO

Of food At length he gasped out in
answer to further urging, mo, thank
you, I've had enough such as it is. :

There are too many features de-

THE DEGNERATED HULA.

1t is time for Hawaii to get away from the sort
of dancing into which the ancient Hawaiian hula
has degenerated in far too many cases.
Criticism by visitors during the Carnival of some
of these alleged native dances is entirely justified.
They are hybrid results of the Importation into Ha-
waii Of the white mans depravity grated upon the
supposed Oriental dances of Turkey, Persia and
other decadent countries.
IL any resident of Hawaii were to see these
dances on the mainland it is safe to say he would
resent such MISREPRESENTATION of the customs of his
country.
The Star Bulletin knows from the remarks of
many tourist, that they were utterly Disguised at
certain Of these dances 1t is quite true that ninety
per cent of the visitors want to see the hula, but
few do see it without an uneasy sense of shame.
Does Hawaii wish be judged by the kind of grotes
que and immoral posturing too often witnessed
now? We think not. Nor do we think it necessary
for the amusement of the tourists that these degen
crate dances he included on the entertainment
program
The ancient dances of Hawaii. without the glar-
ingly suggestive contortions added to emulate the
Little Egypt of few years ago, can be revived
just as the dignified and picturesque tableaus of
royal courts have been revived. Hawaii's annual
Carnival does not gain in attraetiveness because
these hulas are staged, nor do the amusement fea-
lures throughout the year in which such huas are
featured gain in the estimation of the majority of
visitors.

LETTERS
THE TREE-cuTTINe

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: Yes, the cutting OF the
trees at Kapiolani Park has caused
more criticism than it deserved,
but the attitude of the city engineer
has been such as to bring this ABOUT.
Why should any official take 1t upon
himself to destroy public property:
Contracting to cut the trees down
without consulting any one was an act
OF vandalism unworthy of an APP
pointed or even elected officer. 1t
may be best to cut them down, but
surely it was not the duty OF any pub
lie official to do 1t on his own re-
sponsibility. These trees are public
property, and if destroyed by private
citizen the city attorney would be the
first to prosecute him. It is for others,
not the county engineer. to say
whether or not they should come
down.

LOOKING AHEAD TO FUTURE cARSlvALs.

The 1917 Mid.Pacifie Carnival is now history
and highly interesting history. too. Ii was-if We
can Judge BY the expressions OF opinion far heard
quite the best Carnival Hawaii has ever held.
The Sfar.Buetin has already pointed out what
others have pointed Out--that the mistakes in man
agement aud they we're comparatively few, were
due mostly TO the lack OF permanent admnstra
tive system To overcome that defect. we suggest
that the board of directors be continuing body.
There are nine directors and that seems to be a
satisfactory number. IL each year three directors
should retire and three be named. the de-
sirabe results of combining experience and .new
blood should be secured.
Ofthe present board, several had served in previ-
Carnival years. and they found their experience
then of inestimable value. Should the continuing
system be established. directors would know from
year year whether or not they were to be with the
board longer; and would be enabled to conceive and
carry out policies not built up hastily for one Carni
sal. but for several such events
The present is an excellent time to try out the
tinuing system. With their fine success Of 1917
the directors in Office have the confidence and
support OF the public. They can secure the fnan-
eiai backing necessary nowadays TO run the big Car
nirals They can plan far in advance knowing that
when the need for rapid action comes they will have
both the money and fhe mem the individual assist
ance--necessary to carry it through.
The annual meeting of the Carnival corporation
will be held next month A change in the constitu-
ton and bylaws might then be made to establish
the continuing plan.
II 1t is desired to have blood on the board
yearly the number of those holding over could
easily be changed But from the standpoint Of bust
ness organization, it surely seems clear that a
certain number shodld hold Office for two or three
years, TO provide substantial nucleus of expert
ence and the president should be elected from
among the holdoyer members.
With such an organization, permanent system
Of administrative detail could be perfected, and
such system would eliminate most OF the minor
complaints inseparable from the present method Of
running our annual week of festivities.
