a fire, boil a container of water,
place the thermometer in the boil

Quiet truly, Waikiki Beach is one

cluding one of the tiniest with the

Hula Dancing
Waikiki Beach naturally suggests
hula dancing. It may be seen there
almost any evening, in restaurants
and hotels, some of it highly artis-
tic, some of it otherwise. Hula has
been a must" in Hawaiian hos
pitality ever since the Chicago Fair

group wherewith to interest. amuse
and thrill the visitor. And 1t can
likewise show the scars of volcanic
fury as proof that once upon a time
it had its own natural fireworks to
give guest truly hot time in the
old town. But then, of course, Eono-

travel-or any other sort of travel,
for that matter.
Waikiki Beach.
But Honolulll-or Oahu-doeS not
need volcanoes and hot lava to
entertain the visitors who are COM
ing across the Pacific in steadily
increasing numbers. First of all, it
would seem to many of the mali
hinis, comes Waikiki Beach, one of
the best advertised stretches of sand
in the world, now more famous than
even the Lido at Venice and long,
long ago distancing Coney Island,
Asbury Park and Atlantic City for
color. romance and glamor.
But the newcomer is apt to find
the average Honolulan somewhat
tepid in his own appraisal of Wal
kiki as an attraction. OF course, it
has to be seen. Nobody would ever
dream of letting the guest leave
Honolulu without a visit to the
beach, whether with or without a
dip into the Pacific and perhaps an
experiment with a surf board, the
latter altogether likely to play tricks
on the malihini and cause him to
assume some ungraceful postures
Decidedly, Waikiki is one of the
must" features of Hawaiian enter
tainment.
And Waikiki is undeniably one of
the loveliest stretches of strand in
the world. In the first place, it is
bordered with palms, and palm
trees are without rivals for deco
rative effects. Then off to the left
is Diamond Head, the American
Gibraltar" it has been called, an
old volcano, its top blown off by an
eruption hundreds of centuries ago.
1t has its present-day interest, for
everybody knows that it is one of
Uncle Sans defenseS. that inside of
its crater are heavy guns capable of
keeping an enemy fleet in hot water
at so great a distance that military
men hope nothing can be done about
it in the way of attack.
Diamond Head a Symbol.
Today Diamond Head is just a
symbol of the international sig
niflcance of Hawaii, and even
though the visitor cannot get in
side of it to have "look-see" at the
works of defense, it stands to him
as a token of the wisdom of those
American statesmen who, As years
ago, strove for the annexation OF
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States. And it is perhaps significant.
furthermore, that it keeps bobbing
up in the scene from the most un-
expected points of view.
This continual emergence of Dia-
mond Head into the Honolulan
scene gives it peculiarly the charac-
ter of a dominating landmark. The
Pali-strictly speaking the Nuuanu
Pail, for their are many pals"
that word meaning a precipice-is
famous, but it does not present
itself to view from a distance. The
other day I discovered that Dia-
mond Head could be discerned
through the trees as I sat upon
the hotel porch. Again while on

stowal Of a lei by one and of a kiss
by the other. I wonder whether
there are not some family fragrant
packets of long-long-ago dried
Hawaiian flowers slowed away in
souvenir boxes here and there on
the Mainland.
But Waikiki is not Hawaii, nor
even Honolulu. This island of Oahu
has many other scenic wonders to
show to the visitor, and fortune is
the guest who sees them ALL
Just tiny island, a little more
than half the size of Rhode Island.

Japanese Need Not Fear Guam,
Adm. Hepburn Tells PrObers
House Committee
QuizzeS Officer on
Value of Base
By ROBERT HUMPHREYS

G.N.SJ Although complete
fortification Of Guam would be of
inestimable value to national de-
fense. it would not enable the
United States to wage aggressive
warfare in the Orient with the
tiny island as base, Rear
Admiral Arthur j. Hepburn told
the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee today.
The author of the now-famous
Hepburn board report dismissed
the controversy which it has
raised both aboard and at home
with this assertion:
Guam, completely fortified,
would harm nobody unless they
came there with hostile intent"
QUESTION OF POLICY
His statement was elicted when
members of the committee, con-
Quoting the second day of public
hearings on the Navy's proposal
to establish IL new air bases in
the Pacific and Atlantic, opened
a barrage of questions over the
matter of policy involved in the
development of Guam.
Unperturbed, the bespectacled
Admiral calmly told the commit
tee that the board in making its
recommendations gave no consid-
Grafton to the question Of whether
