withdrawn from the race for the Re-
publican nomination for State Sena-
tor in the Sixteenth district, leaving
the fight between j. H. Newman, OF

Queens Hospital Troubles

With a regularity almost equal to the certainty
Of spells Of measles and humps running through
the community, the Queens Hospital affairs come
before the people for an airing.
The Star Bulletin is not acquainted with the
facts in the particular incident subject to spe
cia investigation. 1t voices at this time only feel
ing Of regret, which is believed to be general that
this institution of such value and such broad oppor
tunity for service is unable to avoid catawall up
heavals.
Speaking generally, the Queens Hospital is not
up to the standard that should characterize gen
eral hospital in a city Of the size and wealth of
Honolulu. Also the Queens Hospital does more
with less money than any similar institution of
which records are given. =
Those who wondered that Honolulu could exist
so long without ambulance and an emergency
hospital are equally surprised when they learn that
the Queens Hospital is forced to worry along from
year to year with hardly enough funds to carry it
through. Add to this the old buildings and physical
arrangement typical of the old Honolulu houses
that grew through the addition of lanai here and
another there, and you have idea of the handi-
caps under which the hospital has struggled in
maintaining it's excellent record for the care and
cure of patients.
Judging from the record the Queens Hospital
appears to be all right. The trouble is with the
community that does not rally valianty in provid.
ing that which is required for proper development
Perhaps the Queens Hospital needs more or 9th
er men to run it That may be left to the trustees
to determine OF one fact you may rest assured,
the hospital needs more money to enable it to fill
the natural field Of general hospital in the city
Of Honolulu.

Promotion Committee Business

Chairman Berndt is right The Hawaii Promo
ton Committee ought to be more intimately con
nected with the organization Of tho Chamber OF
Commerce. The secretary Of the Chamber OF Com
merce is the logical business manager of the Pro
motion Committee having under his direction a
staff made up of individuals who can specialize in
various activities for the development OF tourist
service.
To carry out this logical program, other logical
details should be included.
The Chamber of Commerce rooms and the Pro
motion Committee headquarters should be under the
same roof. Those headquarters should be located
in spacious rooms on the ground floor OF build
ing centrally located.
Honolulu as a city bidding for the tourist bust
ness Of the world should have it's active agents Of
general tourist promotion housed in of the most
modern buildings Of the city. If city does not
think we'll of and dignity it's own business no one
else will.
The same principle should apply to the Promo
ton Committee that has been the guiding force be-
hind the improvements in the office buildings, the
banks, the present renovation of the mercantile cen
ter on Fort street, the changes on Nuuanu street
and the type of new buildings North King street
The reason for these changes is that it il good bust
less to live and do your business and welcome your
customers in clean modern, we'll equipped, spacious
quarters.
Some day the Chamber of Commerce will actu-
ally emerge from it's shell and then, besides talking
about ideals and possibilities, it will in fact be the
broad live energizing and driving force in the CEN
ter of developing business that horoscope of its
mission In life should show.
These things cannot be accomplished in day,
but every move toward the completion Of such a
program is another point gained for Honolulu as
city of business prosperity, comfortable homes,
contented people and splendid ideals come true.
That sort of work is worth the while of any man
who can find in his system a spark Of loyalty for
his city.

TO SAVE UsEFULLY.

How to save usefully and how to buy wisely are
the great problems of the hour. You can get all

In line with helping you reach the decision, a
writer in recent number Of the Saturday Evening

absolutely sure of his own mind. This writer says

frankly where he had acquired the skill and the
knowledge of finance he had so abundantly dis,
played. Prior to coming to the treasury he had
