40 event this week held more gen.
N eral interest for society folk than
the great review at Schofield Bar
racks, followed by, the visit to Camp
on Thursday, the day
bringing before the congressional
party not only large part of Oahu's
armRd force of regulars, but also the
national guardsmen at Kawailoa.
Scores of autos carried townsfolk,
civilians and military on the days
trip. The Honolulu Auto club had a
club run" as a special event for the
day, its members thus enjoying mem
orable outing. an" !"
1t was a distinguished assemblage
which witnessed each review, the one
at Leilehua and that at Camp Liliuo-
kalani It was, of course, in honor OF
the visiting congressman, but in add.
ton were the staffs, Of the military
officers, members of the Hawaiian
legislature, the governor and his staff
and local society, with large number
of other civilians.
Over a hundred autos we're parked
in the side lines, giving an indication
that fully seven hundred guests were
there.
The arrangements at Schofield for
parking were perfect in detail, for
every car faced the review, making it

such splendid display of our fight

was ideal for the eight thousand men
in khaki who passed before an ad.
miring throng. The colorful hills OF
Oahu formed a background to a never.
picture. The beauty OF
the setting called forth encomiums
galore. Leilehua, is so huge that
seeing the men in the long distance
before the parade started made them
appear rather few until the order to
move was flashed. Then they moved
in great ranks. 1t was fascinating in
the extreme. Whenever the colors
came by a thrill would move the
guests. How grateful we should be
that we are part Of the nation that
flies the most beautiful flag in the
world! y
1t was a pretty compliment to those
of us who are residents to hear
aloha oe" and other familiar compo-
sitions played so perfectly by the
military bands. The spirit of the oc.
casion was felt as never before, for
this was a touch of Hawaii Nei. The
S2nd is a regiment formed here and
really belongs to those of us who
claim Hawaii as our own. As this
regiment passed, bearing the colors,
the salute to, the flag was given in
