THAT BEACH AT>WAIKIKI


Hula-Hulas and ukulees not the only things
the folks along Waikiki Beach think about There is
the matter of real estate. for instance
One of the largest and most significant real es-
tate deals in the history of Honolulu took place
Gently as part of the land activity which has fea-
tured business in Hawaii since the first Of the year.
Thirty-seven acres of the Ala Moana section Of
Waikiki Beach, the greater part Of which is swamp
land, has been transferred. According to the pur-
chasers, the dredging Of { canal for drainage pur-
poses will commence at once, in an effort to make
the section of the most attractive residential
districts of the city
The project is the result of the present Waikiki
becoming too restricted due to everincreasing prop
erty values. When complete, the work will
enlarge the beach area many times and further de-
velop of Hawaiis most popular and favored dis
trcts
The popular impression in the United States
to be that Hawaii is romantic, holiday land
where the lei bangles from the necks of beautiful
native girls and thrilseekers entertained by the
surf riding of the massively muscled Kanakas.
But it is something than that. Honolulu,
for instance, is large and booming city, and some
wise Americans have learned that a penny or two
be made by shrewd investments.

The invitation of Governor Smith
of New York to deliver the principal
address in connection with the me-

DREAM MEN AND REAL
: BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

James Branch Qabell that magical of
words has great many things to say about the men
who in fife find the lady of their hearts desire
He pictures them going up and down the world low
ing many women but always before them, elusive
and intangible moonbeam, fits the fair lady whom
they we'll know they shall never find
Sad is that picture sad enough for tears. But are
the any be pitied because their lodgings
are never realized than women who, wedding our
brave knight find him changed into ordinary stock
broker?
For women, like men, clutch to their hearts the
thin fabric of dream. They live and love and die
without having had their desire for romance
satisfied Perhaps this is why, in this day
of restessness and unease women marry often and
foolishly They seek forever the Prince Charming
of their dreams, knowing not that he does exist
upon this mortal sphere.
We Unsuitable lovers of romance. No little girl
but plunges and then into revere of some eph-
emeral man who will sit at her feet worshpingy. AS
the years by the dreams change Where first
longed for goden-hared youth upon white charger
we finally become enamored Of the sleeB-haired lad
who sells socks in the haberdashery From the
clouds we descend unto EARTH but matter what
alteration fastens itself upon he always carries
about with him the many coored garment of ideal
And after we marry over-stout realtor and
know him like open book still hug secret the
slim hope that deep within himself he adores us as
we long to be adored.
But women, in this eternal quest for perfect
love, not wise the For they marry us
and become disllusioned perhaps to far short
of what they expected. But they do not attempt to
make us over They cherish the best they can and
still cling to the lost lady Of their hearts desire she
whom they know will rnaterialize Whereas we
in intense longing for the ideal secret be-
ings, endeavor always to change our hlnldrum hls
band into the brave and loyal knight who haunts our
dreams.
That we are never successful in this impossible
task makes up half the misery Of married exist

A HERO DIES

Mariana Monies, Mexican bull fighter was gored
during bull fight in Madrid and died. The bull
the third Monies had encountered during the after
noon, its two predecessors dying by his sword.
There will be great mourning in Mexico, and in
Spain, for Monies. brave, fearless man, meeting
his death like hero. Women will weep and small
boys will worship his memory
But what of the bulls? And what Of the poor
horses dulLeyed defenseless creatures led forth to
perish in a CORY shambles that human beings primi-
tive lust for blood may be appeased?
Bull fighting is a sorry thing, a brutal thing and
a mighty poor for sport. The bull has very
little chance, the horses positively Once in
thousand times the matador misjudges he directs
his blade at the vital point and then another hero
perishes. Were the bulls chances better than one
in thousand it is doubtful if the sport would
survive.

Another Form of Tariff

Speaking of Secretary Mellon. it
is quite as difficult to understand
his condemnation of the Haugen bill
as his defense Of the Pennsylvania
primary.
Not that I am so enthusiastic
about this bill, but I would be
Obliged to be if 1 believed in a pro-
tective tariff,
To all intents and purposes the
Haugen bill is just another form Of
protective tariff and I had always
supposed that Mr.. Mellon was a
firm supporter Of that institution
Everyone of the arguments he
used against the Haugen bill could
be used with equal force against
the protective tariff on aluminium,
not to mention many other commod-
tiles.
3 If the Haugen bin is designed to
make higher prices for American
consumers, so is the protective tar
iff, and if it contemplates the sale
Of American goods to foreign con
sumers at lower prices, that also is
true Of the protective tariff.
If the manufacturers of this coun-
try ara entitled to such an advan.
tage, why aren't the farmers.

WHY THE DELAY

Several weeks have passed since start was
1lade in the<city council to get action which
would gve/back to the city the interest on funds
deposited with the under the Barrett law.
1t may not be amss to Ask just what is causing
the delay in taking some definite action at least
making a definite decision.
Under that law, it has been interpreted the
treasurer of this county draws the on money
paid by citizens for public Improvements under
sessments.
No one would claim that the money belongs to
the treasurer that he has any ownership of the
funds.
Yet the treasurer does get the interest paid by
banks upon it, and great is the fund in this city
that it makes that job pay more in money than Cal
vim Coolidge draws President of the United States.
The work involved in the of these funds
is slight There is claim that the service rendered
by the in handing these funds worth any
such compensation. AS matter of fact, the most
of it is done by the banks where the funds are de-
posted
When the councilman, who launched his drive
against the practice of letting the treasurer have
this extra money, started there was unanimty of
opinion that it is all wrong and that the city should
in some way, get the interest.
Now there seems to be lethargic attitude and
a singlar lack of interest,
Perhaps some member of the city government
will take enough interest in the matter as to ask
why the long silence and lack of action.
Is there influence which is interested in
sitting action and preventing a decision?
Does the fact that the present mayor was for
merly treasurer have effect on the attitude
and activities of public officials?
IT night seem reasonable to expect thailtne tax

FRANCE STILL BELIEVES IN
ALADDIN

When the Germans were hammering away at
the gates of Paris and the fate of France hung by
thread politicaE factions buried the Ratchet and
formed a solid front-the Sacred Union"
Today the fate of France is again-or other
stiIl-in the balance Facing bankruptcy financial
ruin and social chaos another sacred union" of her
statesmen is imperative.
Eight ministers of finance have come and gone in
fruitless attempt to save the situation Four cabi
nets have formed and fallen direct result of
Frances financial crisis and still nothing of value has
been accomplished.
AS this written Aristide BRAND is trying to get
together his tenth ministry. He wants it to be
sacred union or coalition cabinet, that includes
the leaders Of all parties. This all depends on the
outcome of this veteran cabinet makers efforts.
The people as whole haven't the remotest idea
of the real gravity of the countrys danger. Their
political leaders have been telling them fairy stories
so long that they still fondly expecting some
financial Aladdin to appear at any minute with his
wonderful lamp when properly rubbed will fill their
Golfers with gold.
1t will take courage at this late day to tell them
that the only way out Of the fix they're in is via
their painful ears.
AS long as there is left in the country one group
of Aladdinists no hardboiled, commencement prac-

A CIVIC PROBE

The Federal Court has ordered inquiry into
the charges of Prosecutor Remy that law v1olatoTs
are really in control of the police department
That probe will necessarily be limited to tne
overt acts of corruption in the department and be
limited by it's effect upon the enforcement of the
Federal laws.
The police could be as corrupt as they pleased
bot murder or arson or burglares and the Federal
Court show no interest. If they fail or consple
against the prohibition law, it becomes national
matter.
There is need of other and more searching inves-
ieations than can be accomplished by grand Jurles
There is need of great civic probe by the lead
ers of decency in this community.
The business organizations should be interested
in discovering what it costs in dollars to have
government in which politics is the main business
ord service TO the people of minor Importance.
The citizens who pay taxes should be interested
in knowing lust how much more they pay and how
much less they get in this city than in cities winch
have the city manager form of government.
The moral forces of the community should be
interested comparing con9ltons IN THIS CITY WIN
those of Cleveland example, and discover whether
the cost in morality is not rather heavy price TO
pay for our politics.
campaign for a city manager charter might
bring about just public interest in public affairs
which will make every an investigator or at
least an observer of the workings of the city govern
ment.
It does not help when public officials engage in
a contest of charge making.
But it would be worse if no charges were made,
if the occasion demands.
It would be infinitely worse to put Pollyanna
smile and say everything is all right if we knew that
the law violator the criminal, the bootlegger had
more influence than the man who earns an honest
living and wants de ICY.
Let it be hoped that official probes will go to the
very bottom of affairs and that abis or expana-
lions will be accepted long there is any viola
ton of law.
Let it also be hoped that the public itself will
start on quiet hunt for system that will Destroy
the system that permits easy control OF government
by the corrupt and the corruptors.
