A PUBLIC MARKET BUILDING ON
THE LAND NOW AALA PARK

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Why not have. public mar
ket building built at Aala park. hous-
ing the Territorial Market, fish mar
ket and wholesale and retail fruit.
vegetable and food product markets,
all under one roof? The fish stalls
could be constructed along the river
frontage. Pauahi street could be ex-
tended to the. market. also Hotel
street, by bridge. and the city and
county of Honolulu derive handsome
income from the rentals, then turn
the fish markets at King street into
storerooms and relieve a condition
which exists here relative to furnish
ing more rooms for the retail trade.
A building with an arcade through
the center could be constructed at
very reasonable cost and prove q
method of tax reduction from the
start.
The fish boats could land directly
at the stalls along the river and Ho-
noiulu then could have market CEN
ter where produce and consumer
could get together, and thus would
the high cost of living be materially
reduced Why let land of that value
lie idle-turn 1t into money maker.
Respectfully submitted.

SUGGESTIONS FoR FUTURE CAR
NIvALs

Honolulu, Feb. rs. 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Your invitation as published
in today's issue to write the Star-Bul-
|letin relating to suggestions as per
your caption. trust viii be received
in the same spirit which the writer
has in submitting his suggestions,
namely, that Of offering such accept
able suggestions a. will, when carried
out, increase the attractive features
and bring more tourists to the city OF
Honolulu for the Carnival.
First Suggestion
Change the date for holding this
Mid-pacific Carnival to May o. each
year and limit the time to three days.
Brief reasons why: Every year since
1914 the weather has been stormy,
rain and wind have ruined hundreds
Of dollars worth Of decorations; has
caused in 1916 the postponement of
the opening days event at Punahou.
A heavy downpodr Of rain Sunday.
February IL; ruined about all Of the
exposed decorations. The weather at
May is by check Of weather records
the ideal time for holding carnival.
Another thing. the tourists arrive In
California after the close of the holt
days, say January 4 to March /, and
the attractions in California hold them
there by fully 80 per cent, After April
they seek new attractions: the beach
resorts open about June ]. so between
April and June will be the best time
fo mt IN this carnival and Ofvo fho

, Pacific Carnival Park wherein pag-
eants. concessions OF n higher order
than IN years past and all other at
| tractiye features could be held in this
park within reach OF course Of street
car and auto methods Of transporta-
tion and dozen locations could be
developed.
Third Suggestion
And allow me to say that no reflec-
ton is cast upon any person in any
manner or form connected with this
years event or any other year. Hire
the services and Pay good salary TO
an experienced. capable carnival de-
veloper and director. A man who has
] had experience In creating and dr..
recting carniyals. Hold him respOns-
ible for the entire event from opening
to closing day-for decorations and
everything connected with the car
niyal and then let public spirited citi-
zens come forward and get behind this
carnival director and let every man
and woman bury self, bury every sell
fish motive. create the true get-to-
gether spirit and all work hand in
hand and shoulder to shoulder and
make the Mid-Pacific Carnival May
festival, a worlds event. and then
celebrate George Washington's Birth
day as they do and have by a one
days honoring of the memory Of the
Father OF His Country. but hold this
carnival as a special attraction at
May.i OF each year.
Respectfully submitted by decora-
tor who has been through the mill
here for four years and who has had
80 years experience at carnivals in.
mainland cities.

MAKE THE ROAD PLAN COMPREHENSIVE.

Hawaii demands needs must have good roads,
and already bills are appearing in the legislature
calling for large territorial appropriations
An instance is the 100000 appropriation asked
BY Representative Lyman Of Hawaii for a highway
from Hilo to the Volcano This is but one of many
similar bills which the legislature must consider.
The Star Bulletin believes that public sentiment
in the islands generally will uphold stateadf sys
tenn for certain main roads which might be desig-
mated as "scenic highways" For Hawaii it must,
of course, be the sterritorialaidv system, which
means, in brief that certain roads on the Individual
islands are to be paid for from the territorial funds
1t is recognized that highways such as that from
Hilo to the Volcano, or from Kahului to Haleakala
are not merely island assets but are territorial as
sets Promotion work is binding the interests of
the separate islands into one huge interest
This principle was indorsed by the 1916 Civic
Convention at Hilo, and the convention formally
asked the governor and the superintendent of public
works to draft out system Of territorial highways,
the emphasis being placed on the need for better
tourist roads,
Now that requests for road appropriations are
coming to both houses IN disconnected form, it is
timely to find out what has been done with the Civic
Conventions request.
Has such a broad comprehensive plan been work
ed out? What roads does it include? What win
be the cost? How is the money to be raised? How
spent:
All these questions need to be answered before
either house passes on individual requests for APP
preparations which touch the tourist road idea
The Civic Convention many Of whose members
are in the house and senate recognized at Hilo
last fall that the territory needs sweeping, in
elusive carefully worked out plan Of territorial
highways not merely the paper theory, but the en-
cheering information the location, character and
cost Of the proposed roads The territorial govern.
nlenf was asked to furnish the information so it
could be available for. this legislature.
All tourist roadr appropriation bills or resolu-
lions should be considered in the light of the larger
scheme, II that is now ready. Isit!

GOOD PICTURES VS.. BAD
PICTURES

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulietin.
Sir: After reading few articles
in regard to the hula dances. I wisl,
! 70 add few words in your valuable
paper about good pictures and bad
shows during the Carnival week. Many
people had criticized the hula dances
as being not decent. and sympathize
with those who had sent in articles in
the local papers, and the article pub
lished in the editorial page of the Star
Bulletin last evening entitled, The
Degenerated Hula was right. I have
seen many tourists turn their heads
aside with unhappy faces as the hula
dances at different places were Civ.
en- This showed that the hula dances
were not carried out in a proper way.
Most of the tourists and other visit
ors came here just for the Carnival
Did they enjoy themselves at the hula
dances and the bad sideshows? No.
Did they enjoy themselves in the
beautiful parades and good pictures at
the University Club and the Pan-Paci-
fic PAVILION? Yes. Were there any
letters written to the papers praising
the hula and the side-shows? No.
Were there any letters written to the
paper praising the good pictures or
the dioramas? Yes. indeed:
Now, have said enough concerning
the hula, but nothing on the side-shows
during the Carnival week at Aala
park and the place next to the Liberty
theater Tho shows given at Aala park
or Joyland were most Indecent; IL
fact, much worse than the lowest hula
dances. The shows were those Of
Stella Girls under the management
Of e. K. Fernandez, representative
in the legislature of ! Hawaii. The
shows next to the Liberty were just
a little better than the former shows
Thousands of people visited Joyland
during the Carniva. and the tent or
place which drew the largest CROWD
was at the tent Of Stella's Girls. We're
they very anxious to pay their good
quarters to see such shows when the
women therein were half-naked? They
go to the shows because they could
not help but go in when the photo
graphs which we're hanging at the en-
trance tempted them. Most of the
tempted ones were minors or students
Of local schools. When students go
to such shows, don't you think they
would bring into their minds dirty,
unpleasant and nasty pictures? Mr.
Fernandez, who brought the Stella
Girls over, made 4 big mistake and had
wronged the Young people Of Honolu-
iu. hope that in the future Carni-

I. s. AND WAR TRADE.


The cessation Of war orders which gave such an
impetus to prosperity in the United States would
in any event have come ere long as result of the
growing independence Of the Allies in munition
manufacturing. Great Britain was already practi-
ealy producing all her munitions and partially
supplying her Allies; while only the other day a
British munition firm made bid for supplying this
government with shells for one Of our own dread
thoughts at figures much under American prices.
The amount Of this contract was not particularly
important, but the difference in prices was rather
significant in view of the necessity for increasing
our future export trade Less than half of the in
crease in exports during the last fiscal year was
dueto munition ORDERS which in the mass constitut
ed only about one-shird of our total exports. The
establishment Of peace Would reduce recent abnor-
NAL shipments Of automobiles horses mules leather
"copper" ETC., but these losses would be partially off,
set BY increases in cotton petroleum steel products
for reconstruction purposes machinery and the Ike
What the net losses would be to her export trade,
therefore it is impossible to estimate though pres
ent disposition is to considerably overestmate them
Our most serious difficulty in maintaining our ex-
port trade will be the high cost Of production in this
country compared with Europe.
