TOURIST TRADE

HONOLULU, May ~. Perma.
nent Improvement projects making
the scenic points of Hawaii more
readily accessible to the visitor
from large proportion Of the loan
fund items agreed upon by the
territorial legislature today shortly
before the close of its biennial ses-
sion This feature of the 1927 as
sembly is significant. in that it
shows that Hawaii is at last wax.
ing up legislatively to it's posi-
bilities as a recreational and tourist
mecca.
Governor W. r. Harrington, dur.
ing his six years IN office, has re.
peatedly called attention in his re.
ports and messages to the need for
Hawaii to awake to the fact that II
must prepare, not to repel, but to
receive friendly invasion of literal.
ly thousands of visitors annually,
people seeking the beauty spots. the
sunshine, the fruits and flowers
which Nature has so bountifully
given these inslands.
Warnings Are Needed
These warnings have been needed
to some degree, and during the
last decade noteworthy work has
been done on highways, especially
the belt road around the island OF
Oahu and the Volcano road on Ha.
wall, which latter will be completed
during the coming summer. But
with the giant passenger steamships
Melodo and City of Honolulu soon
to enter regular service between the
coast and Honolulu the 1927 lAeiSia-
ture has come to realization of
the fact that the long looked for
invasion is at hand. Consequently
much of the construction work that
is authorized for the coming two
years is highway work, In many
cases opening up country rich in
scenic grandeur.
This is especially true Of the ap-
preparation Of $175,000 for the con-
struction of a paved road along the
Kauai, a chasm smaller but no less
brilliantly colored than the Grand
Canyon itself.

Music hath it's charms for a num-

succumbed to the lure of the screen
their musical education has not
been neglected.
Take. for instance, Milton Stills

Sills took post graduate of music
in the University Of Chicago. while
Terrence studied in the London
Academy of Music. at Stuttgart,
Germany. and in Edinburgh. The
somber faced actor also is a singer
of no little note. having appeared
in Gilbert and Sullivan operas for
a number Of years. In addition to
this. Terrence also plays the vic.

Among other screen stars who
have received musical educations
and are capable players of the
piano are Aileen Pringle, Renee

TOBACCO NJ { n
To MEET
BY International Nsws Service

MOREHEAD CITY, n. c., May
27.-Peril of overproduction will be
stressed here next month by leaders
in the tobacco industry, when the
Tobacco Association Of the United
States holds it's annual convention
here June 1924.
Since the enormous size of last
years cotton crop became apparent
and its selling price was established
at a figure below the cost of pro-
duction, advice has been pouring
into the ears of Southwestern to-
bacco planters, it was said.
AS result of this, according TO
tobacco association officials here,
the inclination of farmers is to in
crease the tobacco yield. The danger
of this. 1t was stated, would be eff
fectively stressed at the convention.
Marketing of the 1927 crop and
discussion of fall prospects will
be the principal items before the
country's tobacco growers when
they gather here.
Representatives from all the to-
bacco growing sections are expected
here. However, The Carolinas, Vir-
ginia and Kentucky are expected to
send the largest delegations.
A program, including speeches and
discussions by leaders in the tobacco
industry, is to be announced shortly.
Gov. Angus w. Mclean and
Senator F. M. Simons. of North
Carolina, have been invited to make
addresses.

Pushes Peanut With Nose
Quarter Mile to Win Bet

PRINCETON, N. j.. May 27.-Wa1-
ter E. Warner. of Brooklyn, Junior
at Princeton University, boasted that
he could push peanut with his nose
from University Place to Washing
ton Road, more than a quarter of a
mile, in less than an hour. Six of
his classmates each showed SIS that
said he could not.
Warner, his nose heavily protected
from bruises with adhesive tape, set
out on his mission at midnight. He
was not permitted to wear knee
pads, and today he is suffering from
large blisters. The six students care
fully timing Warner soon collected
a crowd, and as each. peanut was
worn out on the pavement new
one was supplied.
When he crossed the finish line a
victor, the time was announced at
SIS minutes and 40 seconds, and 25
peanuts had been used. He has col
lected $22 of the $50.

BULL RING SUIT
IS DROPPED
BY ALICE LANGELIER
international News Service

MADRID, May 26.-The steel
"corsets" which were tried out on
the horses used in Spanish bull
fights proved to. be a decided
failure and the government has
prohibited further use of any
metal armor.
Instead of serving to protect the
horse in even a small way, it
made matters much worse for the
poor beast. The bulls horn pierced
the metal with about as much
ease as if it had been a rubber
balloon and the result was much
more disasterous. For it left a
horn as rough as any crater to
make any horse might receive in.
finitely more painful
Numerous small inventors have
been scratching their heads over
this problem of some kind of pro.
.tective armor for the horses, One
of them has hit upon the idea Of
two layers of heavy blanket felt,
tightly compressed together, with
hemp between mad covered with a
fine netting of tough rope. Rep

out within short time. If the
bull is unable to push his horns
through the felt, the horses will
not be ripped open as often as in
the past. and even if they are the
sight will be less disagreeabIe, for
the armor will keep the wound 20
gether. But they win very likely
be lifted into the air, corset and
all
So it is very probable that the
poor horse Of picadors will go on
suffering as long as there are any
bull fights in Spain.

COCKTAIL TUNE
IS NEW FAD
By EVELYN MCDONALD
International News Service

PARIS, May 27.--Musical cocktail
shakers are humming gaily in popu.
lar Partisan bars.
Bartenders find that the latest
tune or an oId-fashioned. hymn &C.
companied with cooling beverage,
draws many customers in search
of distraction during the summer
months.
The latest cocktail shaker, and
there seems to be a new one every
week, has a concealed music.box
within it's narrow walls which will
play promptly and loudly when
shaken.
Musical shakers are especially
recommended to Americans who
gloomily and fearfully sample a new
supply. The effect of the music
makes all doubt fly to the winds.
After an enlivening tune the fear OF
poisoning is far from the mind. Omit
that lull in conversation before the
drinks loosen the tongues, by getting
