Clean, harmless amusement should of course be furnished, but

Honolulu has had its troubles in this same connection, and this is

For the safety of tourists the chamber of commerce should have
the trail across the floor of Haeakala crater definitely marked. The
need of this was emphasized by the party of naval officers who made the
trip last week in a heavy fog and who report that it was extremely
dfhcult to keep their bearings. A man with a bucket of white paint
could make the trail safe at small cost.

WE STARTED IT

In inaugurahng the interisland baseball series it looks is if Maui
had really started something. 1t has certainly stirred up a big lot. of
interest And the results have Left things in such shape that the teams

Hno beat Maui in the first game and lost her games to Honolulu under
circumstances that left her far from discouraged.

league, meeting twice a year or Oftener, it will be a distinct gain for
sport IN the Islands and will be one more link binding the counties
closer together. 1t has been distinctly worth while.

Either the film agencies in the Islands are being grossly imposed
upon by the big agencies on the coast with whom they deal, or else
the local agencies are imposing upon their own patrons. Pictures that
have had their run on the mainland are presumably cheap. Age may
be nothing against a clever picture story, even if women patrons are
unable to CLEAN any fashion hints from them; but when a Fourth Liberty
Loan promotion picture is sent out as a feature, or when news" films
turn out to be ancient history instead, and of no interest for that rea-
son, it is reasonable to infer that somebody is singing someone else.
