 on His Visit

 If you had any notion that they would be dusting out the little grass shack" down in Kealakekua for the visit of president. just count it as fantastic as finding a tepee on Manhattan.
 The tin pan alley conception to the contrary, there aren't any little grass shacks in Hawaii, commer- clal excepted, and you can see one just as authentic at the Hawaiian exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
 President Roosevelt will sleep in a royal Hawaiian hotel suite (once occupied by the King of Siam) having in common with grass shacks only the absence of either heating or cooling systems.
 As the cruiser Houston turns her brow into the coral locked harbor, MT Roosevelt will see a rambling white city of modern buildings, fronted by great concrete wharves, with sloping hills and rugged mountains for backdrop.
 The hills are dotted with green and white low sprawling houses like Mediterranean villas; their neighbors may be stately colonial mansions, stucco hacienda or just ordinary houses. As a whole they are the same architectural night necticut or Jersey.
 About the great battleship as she moves to her berth will be swarn,s of brown diving boys. They are Polynesians; but don't let that startle you. They probably speak better English than the average Anglo-Saxon high school graduate, have bodies that suggest com bination of Maxie Baer's brawn and Rudolph Valentino's grace, and may be tomorrow's Olympic champions. No sports lover is likely to forget Duke Kahana- nloku.
 A parade of graceful sampans will glide by carrying bronzed lit- tie fishermen, whose fathers may have worshipped the rising sun of Nippon, but these are sons of Ha- waii, who probably prefer their filet of sole from the skillet rather than eels raw from the deep.
 Primitive tropics? Hardly. Cleaning white yachts carrying sons and daughters of New Eng land missionaries, who sport OK ford accents and Patou gowns, will
  Overhead an armada of army and navy planes will roar with an ear- laundering salute that will drive from the mind the swish of grass skirts.
 There probably will be hula girls that have little resemblance to Joe Cooks imitation of Numerous" Hawaiians. They really can and probably will do the hula but at- tach no more significance to it than you would a costume play landing the Pilgrims again at Plymouth. Its just an old custom that is hav- ing hard time surviving the rhumba or the carioca.
 From the dock the president will drive through narrow streets and if you still persist you may count them foreign" but it is only the same lack of city planning that characterizes municipalities from New York to San Francisco.
 He may eat sukeyaki at an au- thentic Japanese tea house or sai- min in a Chinese garden. Geisha girls in komono will serve him in the former and Mandarian coated Chinese in the latter but both probably will be American high
  tunes for cheap Paris imitation streetwear as a Broadway chlorine sheds her spangles.
 The president probably will watch the ancient art of fishing with spears by torchlight but he will use modern tackle himself If the ehumuhumunukunukuapuaa still go swimming by at the beach at Hoonaunau he may have a bit of difficulty in asking for them but he will find them fine bait for the au, a swordfish worthy of his hook. Outside of value to song writers the humuhumunukunukau- puaa's principal use is for bait.
 Finally the president probably will be greeted by the last repre- sentative of royalty. She is Prin- cess Kawananakoa, republican na. tional committee woman for Ha-
