The Honolulu Advertiser-Wong
Lam. H. popular Waialae caddy. died
at Queens Hospital from a fractured
skull resulting from being struck by
a golf ball driven by Gerald M. Griffin,
Schofeld Barracks.
The plucky little caddy trudged
around the course to finish the game
after the accident occurred. Soon after
he had reported to William Case, caddy
master at Waialae. he began to feel
The boys uncle, DR.. Fred Lam, was
called and sent him to the hospital,

Ell TELEGRAPH, Guayaquil-It Is
with great complacence that we recog-
nize the efforts of the prefecture to pro-

Salinas. The executive officer of the
province has asked the president of the
Guayaquil Automobile Club to exercise
his influence in obtaining from con-
Germs which have the equipment, the use

and to enlist the interest and services,
so far as practicable, OF all the men,
bers of the organization.
A sufficiency of heavy rolling stock
should in this way be procured to
handle the more elementary and diff

Public support through contributions,
etc, should also be solicited. Regard
less of the crisis, the progress of
Guayaquil must not be interrupted.
In this connection there occurs to
us the fine idea of a woodworking con-
scription, which was presented to the
Assembly of 1928, and ardently de-
Tended by its author, DR.. Jose Ramon
Bolona, who cited the amazing bene-
fetal results achieved by the same sort
of program in Peru, where the necessity
for improved roads had become SO
imperative that the executive dictator
ship compelled the services OF all able
bodied men in repairing the old and
constructing the new. This involun-
tary service turned out to be, for that
country, a most wise practically.
That the same benefits would be OBJ
tanned IN Ecuador, there is no doubt.
The law proposed by DR.. Bolona would
have required the registration Of all
able-bodied males in the country be-
tween the ages of 18 and so, without
distinction of nationality. Each of
these would be required to render his
