Protecting Investors

The enactment of the national bue sky bill

But the will not unless it is amended the
securities situation which exists in the District

in the bill provision which would set up protective wall

fake securities originate in and be sold in the National

The national bill could be amended to give the Pub

the Federal Government in regard to interstate

The Public Utilities Commission passes upon securities
issued by the local public utilities An extension of this
into the general security field would have very
worthwhile effect upon the investment business.
Congress will be acting in most inconsistent it

time refuses to take cognzance of the evils which its
committees have barred in the local field
When the Blaine bills under consideration in the last

The ukulele and the song
"Aloha- -Ohe," the hula-hula
and the grass skirt made Ha-
waii famous, but her unique
attractions as an international
playground have aided her in
retaining her fame.
There is something warm
and friendly about Hawaii and
about her brown7skinned peo-
pie. They like to see you, are
glad you are visiting them and
are eager for you to have a good
time. When you land in Homo
lulu's lovely harbor native girls
hang garlands around your
neck.

business, but it's a pleasant
way of extending a welcome,

find a gracious welcome every
where.
First, we will take a look
about Honolulu. This is an up
to-the-minute metropolis, with
both Spanish and modernistic
styled buildings. The streets
are clean and rich with
flowers. To those interested
in the way American indus
trial methods have been ap-
lied to these dangerous ISIS.
a visit to the vast pineapp.a
factories in Honolulu will
prove a revelation. These enor-
nous buildings turn out 80 per
cent of the worlds canned
pineapple, and the work is
superintended and carried on
with a maximum of efficiency.
However, most people will be
more interested in the pictur-
eSque and native features Of
the island than the working
out of high-powered produc-
ton methods.
For these there are many
attractions. Not the least Of
these is the dancing of the
native hula. In olden times
this was a sacred dance in
which natives of Both sexes
and every age took part.

But wait a minute.
It's not about the old-fash-

What's this all about? Is it a
newspaper publicity stunt? It
is not! It is the actual sugges-
ton Of an honest-to-goodness
young man who believes that
marriage, like all other social
institutions, should keep step
with the times. And believe it
or not, thousands Of outstanding
young gentlemen and two-fisted
young ladies will heartily in
dorse his idea!
Briefly, those ideas boil down
to this:

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson :

} My new girl friend has never
worked. She is % years old
and has always depended solely
on her parents for support.
She knows no profession or
trade, and she would be utterly
helpless if I died or lost my
job. She is an only child,
raised by devoted parents-sen-
timental Southern people who
still think we're living in 1888
instead Of 1888.
Also-and this point seems to
me as important as the finan-
cial part-she has no concep-
ton of what modern business
means, Or any way of under
standing my life.
Naturally I suppose any regu-
lar fellow wants to support his
wife. Most men still have a
feeling Of pride about that.
But, as I said before, we are
forced to look at things in the
modern way; and I can't help
thinking of what the con-
sequences will be if I marry a
girl like Mary. 1t seems to me
that such a girl is actually a
bad risk" in matrimony-and
most Of my friends agree with
me.

SILLY AND AS DANGEROUS
FOR A MAN TO MARRY A
WOMAN WITHOUT A JOB,
