And Once Again
Leaving Kalapana at 2:30, SO as to
allow four hours for the return jour
ney to Hilo-most cars did the trip in

ular "Stowsey," and over leaned the
car to one side.
The party left the car and, separat.
ing, wandered off up and down the
road. 1t was well to be alone so that
nobody's feelings could be hurt by the
language used. The trees began to
wither and the atmosphere began to
remind one of the sulphur fumes in
the vicinity of Kilauea. In some re-
spects that silent stroll of the four
members Of the party resembled a
morning hate in Germany. If ever
anything in this world was properly
''straffed' it was that car. T
Well, once more, at o'clock, the
machine started off for Pahoa. We
all hoped to reach that delightful city,
but we had our doubts. The I'VE" is
used because the writer was one of
the unfortunate party. He will never
forget that trip. ==
Just one-half mile from the scene of
the latest blowout there came the fin
ishing touch. There was a bang that
seemed to raise the car into the air,
and then a sudden subsistence. That
was the limit and the Japanese chauf-
feur simply remarked in a cold, mat
ter-of-fact voice that something of a
most peculiar birth and of character
that cannot be even limited at could
proceed to place that is not frequent
ly mentioned in polite society, and
then threw ION tho gas. After that it
was some wild ride, believe US. No.
body cared what happened as long as
the party was not condemned to spend
the night among the tall, beautiful
ohia trees fighting the mosquitoes.

We rode on the rim for miles and

relief seemed impossible. However,
Pahoa was reached and dash for a
garage was made in the hopes of hir.

deal was about completed a whistle
was heard and around a curve came a
train. There was a whoop of delight
and a sudden rush for the little rail-
road depot. ~.
The train was really bound for Hilo.
1t seemed as if something we're
wrong somewhere or else the luck of
the party had changed. 1t seemed i'm
possible that that train could be going
where he wanted to go. 1t seemed,

about four men in IN alleged automo

bunch there, as Deacon" Davis; the

Sunday was the anniversary Of the
........ (deIeted by censor) birthday
OF the Deacon" The birthday was
spent trying TO get to and from Kala,

party and the story is worth the tell
ing. j

proceed to Kalapana, take in the NOV
ing picture Village and the doings OF
the actors and actresses started OF
early in the morning. Nothing like
an early start" declared George Day,
who was one of the party. why, we
can leave town at nine o'clock and
get down there at half-past ten.
That's the way to do it"
Eyes, that would have been the way
to do it," remarked the doctor about
eight hours later on in the day. :.
Nine Miles an Hour,
The first part of the program was
carried out to the dot. The party LETT
Hilo at 8 O'Clock sharp. 1t reached
Keaau at 10 O'Clock, some speed, nine
miles in 60 minutes! Then came
blowout on one rear wheel and pune
ture on the other. This party never
does things by halves. Nothing but a
double catastrophe would suit any
member Of the bunch.
The original program and schedule
was shot to pieces by the time the
two tires were fixed up at Keaau. 1t
was nearly IL o'clock before the car
was gotten under way again. Then it
was a case of bowling along at fair
speed hoping to get to Kalapana be-
fore the whole show was over and
everybody was starting back for home.
Well, things went in excellent fash
ion for just IL minutes and then there
was a whiZz bang such as shrapnel
might make and the third busted
tube was announced.
1t was the Sabbath and the four
did not swear; devout churchmen who
comprised the party are well known
for their lack of cuss words. But on
this particular occasion it has to be
recorded that there was unanimous
chorus which really sounded like
lamb" or beef, or something like
that. After another little wait on the
dusty road, with hundreds of automo-
biles passing and the occupants yell
ing: Are you alright?" the tube was
fixed up and the journey was con-
tinued. 1t looked, at the rate the party
was making, as if Kalapana would be
reached about Christmas Day. George
Day suggested that and was promptly
squelched. = -.....
For twelve miles that tube actually
did duty and that allowed of Kalapana

However, it was the truth the con.
ductor told US, and we were conveyed
to Hilo after all. And the best of it,
from the popular Docs" point Of
view, was that he did not have to pay
train fare, as he has perpetual pass
on the railroad. +.
When Deacon" Davies birthday
comes around again there will be
three men at least in Hilo who will
take care not to join him in little

unless the party takes the train or an

Ease is one of the things that sells the
~ Cadillac to the same owner over and
over again.
Ease is frequently the one thing upon
which the buyer bases his decision in
favor of the Cadillac.
Ease and rest, and absence of apparent eff
fort-these are earmarks of the Cad
lilac.
Ease is thing that every motorist wants
and that Cadillac owners actually
experience.
Ease in the Cadillac, extends to the big
and little things alike
No matter what you do with the Cadillac,
or when you do it, you do it with ease.
1t is easy to enter the car, and to alight
from it.
It is easy to start the car-edsy to engage
the clutch and disengage it-edSy to
accelerate from a snail's pace to the
speed of the wind-eaSy to apply the
brakes and bring the car to stand
still.
1t is easy to shift gears and remarkably
easy to control the car and to guide it.
The seats are easy and delightfully."- com
Portable.
Someone has expressiyely said that the
Cadillac carries its own good road
with it.
That is picturesque way of stating what
seems to be a practical fact
But roadease is only the beginning-and
not the end-of Cadillac ease.
Cadillac ease is more than ease of the body
1t is mental ease as well-leaying the mind
free to relax, to rest, and to enjoy.
These are not accidental advantages; they
are the definite results of deliberate
and scientific design and Cadillac
standards of workmanship.
Cadillac ease is fact and reality.

Members Of the AID Club at their
luncheon last Wednesday at the Alex
ander Young hotel we're given an
example of the force and power OF Old
Glory. Boy Scouts, who had been
taught to revere the Star spangled
Banner, gave a royal salute.
There were many members present
who were unfamiliar with the military
salute, but one and all stood up and
each saluted fundamentally. u
4 Following the luncheon, one man
who has been follower/of the Flag,
read this little statement which car
ries In 1t the principles Of liberty and
the duty one owes to the Star Spangled
Banner: n ..s.s. ~.
when you see the Stars and Stripes
displayed, son, stand up and take OF
your hat! Somebody may litter. But
don't you mind! When Old Glory comes
along, salute, and let them think what
they pleased For Of all the signs and
symbols since the world began, there
is never another so full of meaning
to mankind as the flag Of our country
THAT piece of red, white and blue
bunting means five thousand years OF
struggle upward. It is the full-blown
flower Of ages Of fighting for liberty.

Raine Bennett is Creator OF
Libretto and Puccini May

Since Richard Walton Tully showed
In his Bird of Paradise" the posi-
bilities of Hawaii for dramatic and
musical-dramatic creations, inspired
by the fleet Of islands" in the Pa
cific ocean, q great deal of attention
has been paid to the land OF the
Hula Hula by writers mainly Great
ors of more or less popular songs, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Now comes Raine Bennett, editor OF
the Bohemia Magazine, with q full
fledged opera hbretto based on the
more poetical and esthetic, II not
philosophical, suggestions from the
home of Pele, and there is more than
passing possibility that his poetical
libretto will be set to music by PUG.
cini. who, as everybody knows who
remembers the Italians score Of The
Girl of the Golden West" Is ever
seeking, like a musical Alexander,
new. worlds to conquer with his coun-
terpoint. @r- -.
Much correspondence has already
been passed between the creator OF
the libretto, the composer and mu'
tual friends, and Bennett expects IN
the near future to take trip To The
islands in the interest Of his grand
opera, 4ss a---'-.~.- -. - :
Among the many who have be
stirred themselves in behalf Of the
young Californian author Is Char
mion London, widow Of the late and
much-lamented novelist, Jack London,
who writes to A p. Taylor, president
of the Hawaii Promotion committee
Honolulu: .-..
II have followed Mr.. Benefits ca
reer for some time as playwright
poet and editor, and believe he Is the
right one to give this operate story
to the world"
The plot is NEUROLOGICAL, like 9
Wagnerian hbretto.
The gods are human and personiry
their qualities. Kane, the father oil
all Hawaiian gods, is the Wotan Of
the story. Mama, his wife, and he
stir the fires of primitive confla
grafton, and out Of the heated pit
springs forth Pele, the goddess and
the monitor of Kilauea. This, as q
prologue, opens the way to the dawn
of history, wherein mortals and gods
become confused In their ambitions
and a story of dramatic force and 70
mantle interest results, ending with
the triumph of Kamehameha, who
like Tannhauser, finds his way from
the Venusburg of Pele into the facts
and realities of life

TRIBUTE TO FLAG PAID
AT AID CLUBS LUNCHEON

It is the century plant Of human hope
in bloom. -=,sle
Our flag stands for no race. II
stands for men, men of any blood who
will come and live with. us under its
protection. It is the only banner that
means mankind. It is not the flag Of
our king-it is the flag of ourselves.
"other flags mean q glorious past,
our flag, a glorious past and,a still
more glorious future. It is the flag Of
our fathers, and Of our children yet
unborn. Il is the flag Of tomorrow.
Il stands for the open door Of ambi.
ton and opportunity -of equal rights
to every one beneath the shadow Of
its fold.
"our flag waves defiance at all the
ghosts that have so long intimidated
men: the ghost Of monarchy, the ghost
OF aristocracy, the ghost OF war, and
all their kind that stil1 lay shadowy
hands upon the life Of Europe and
Asia.
Listen, soni The band is playing

When Ernest was little they called

has such exquisite taste that his
mother and sister depend on him for

difference about the boys and girls
with great gifts. They will come to
their own, through every obstacle and
difficulty.
Few children are lowered with the

This makes it parents highest duty

child cannot do this for himself. He
Is too young and inexperienced to
take his own measure or realize the
value of his wares, or know how to
market them, but parents should know
and be ready to hold out a helping
hand and say, in the slang Of the day,
This is where you get off," when
their boys and girls start forth on
their life journey.
That parents so often admit that
they are incapable of advising their

BEAUTY CHATS
Delsarte Exercises
By EDNA KENT FORBES

ABOUT TWENTY YEARS AGO, perhaps
not quite so long, there was ire
mendous excitement about Delsarte
exercises. According to beauty doc.
tors of the time Delsarte exercises
would make every woman who prac-
tised them into an absolutely classic
beauty. / remember sitting through
long entertainments when was
quite small girl, listening to some
one recite pages and pages Of poetry,
ell OF It over my head, while some
girl In the background draped her
self into various positions expressive
Of the sentiment Of the verses.
The Delsarte craze died q sudden
death, very few people are taught
the slow. rhythmic movements with
which they used to express the fan
ciful emotions. Gymnastics to-day
are full Of snap and action. Yet the
Delsarte exercises were really excel
lent as q means OF developing grace
and poise. It Is doubtful II they
increased the lung capacity, but they
did train the muscles to steady. slow
motions.
The present day fad for classic
dancing viii give all the rhythmic
grace Of the old Delsarte exercises.
with much Of the quick action of
modern gymnastics. Every woman
who finds It possible, should take up
some form Of dancing as an exercise.
and the classic dances are to be pre-
ferred. Nearly every town Of any
size has an available gymnasium,
and some one person who knows
how to teach this art. The loose,
light garment needed to practise IN,
the vigorous exercises for limbering
up the muscles. the 1.-THE, graceful
movements OF the dances themselves,
win do wonders for digestion, com.
plexion and figure. It viii strip the
fabby flesh. from hips and waist, IT
win Ill out thin legs. It win give a
spring and an elasticity. to ones
movements that few other exercises
could.
