Truth About Hawaiian Maids.


Omaha, June 10-To the Editor
Of The Bee: You little article on
the Hawaiian Romance Shattered"
may give many a reader a wrong
impression. AS a native Hawaiian,
born and reared in that "loveliest
fleet of islands," called Hawaii, your
article has given me and my fellow
countrymen a source of much
laughter.
For this 1 gladly appreciate your
humorous efforts. It is little inn
prudent to get your information
from popular songs" as they are for
a pecuniary purpose and to amuse
people. Personally l do not be-
lieve that !, the songs convince
any one that "the beautiful
maidens spend all their time strum-
ming their ukuleles in the Moonlight
and dancing on the beach at Waikiki
or elsewhere.
The fact is that the native girls
do not have so much leisure time as
some Of our American girls have in
their dance halls nearly every night.
They do not have so many dance
halls and cabarets Of amusement and
recreation. Their favorite pastime
is swimming and mountain climbing.
The popular impression that
Hawaiian : girls wear skirts OF
grass and are only half clad is
given by the "hula-hula girls In
pictures. 1t is just as shocking to
say that the rest Of the girls wear
the same costume, as a foreigner
would say that the American girls
wear in the same way as the actress
es with their short skirts and low
bare necks and busts.
There is not least bit of shock
just because white soldier dis
charged from the United States
army in Honolulu, Hawaii, filed di-
vorce suit in the local district court.
The probable reasons may be the
following: ~ The husband has
not treated his wife as he should.
(2) Desert and not support her.

enough to give brief biography of
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, not just
dates. but something showing her
experiences?-A. F. Gothenburg,

girlhood living the life of a pioneer.
At an early age she evinced keen
and unusual interest in various pub
lice movements. Despite family OBJ
Jections she determined to become q
public speaker and to enter the min
'istry. y -
4 After two years at the MICHIGAN
college she entered Boston Theologi-
cal school, from which she gradua-
ted, the only woman in class Of
43. For seven years she was pastor
at East Dennis, on Cape Cod. Nm

ton. She was refused ordination by

Methodist Episcopal church on ac-
count of her sex, but was finally or
,dained by the Methodist Protestant
church. being the first woman to re-
ceive ordination by that denomina-
ton.
Though she has. been a leader in
many lines of endeavor, Anna How
ard Shaw is best known for her
work in behalf of woman suffrage.

chusetts Suffrage association. Her
rise to prominence as a worker in

Can The Bee tell me who is the
new superintendent at West Point
and when did he enter upon that
duty?-J. G.. M.
Brig. Gen. Douglas Macarthur
yesterday became superintendent Of
the United States Military academy
at West Point. He is one Of the
youngest officers who has ever held
this position. General Macarthur

ment during the Mexican border
troubles and the early part of the
world war. He was graduated
from West Point in 1908, and soon

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw 1t is not sent
down to the veterinary lines, but is
kept to be tended by its driver.
Then 1t is that good drivers care
comes in. for the men tend them most
carefully, feeding them by hand, boil
ing their oats. making them mashes.
and spending most Of the day with
their charges until they can feed In
comfort again. 1t is this personal
care of the man for his horse that has
been the cause OF the new order that
all horses have to be returned from
hospital to their own units again; for a
mans care is by no means transferred
to the same extent to a new team of
horses.
