The Garden Island from Lihue, Hawaii • Page 2

Tttfi GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1922 AMERICAN LEGION SECTION JIMMY'S TRIUMPH; FRANK'S SWAN SONG It took 27 minutes for the page-ant the "Spirit of the Orient." to be given, but there were tunny weeks of hard work in Its preparation. Those who made the paraphernalia can testify to that. It was Jimmy Bodrero's in Us entire conception, and execution, and it is an achievement of which he should bo juslly proud. Those who know the French stage and have seen recent renditions of the Follies in New York where tableaux of this nature are becoming so poular say that they havo seen things of greater magnitude but nothing finer. During the evening some one wu3 overheard in referring to the dances as Frank Timberlake's Swan Song.

He is leaving Kauai this week to establish his residence iu Honolulu and his parting song was to give us a dance that will be long remembered. The decorations, music and refreshments were under his directions. TALK NO. 2 AMERICAN? First of all, let mo apologize for not using the word Americanism for the title, as I am supposed to. Why? Because 1 am opposed to the "isin" part of the word at all.

We do not hear of Britishism, French-Ism, ltalianism. then why Americanism. Are we not in a little way lowering ourselves? Wo hear of bolshevism, kaiserism, etc, because it is used in partial slang, or to show that we do not approve of them. Is that not right'? It is my belief that we are just as good Americans without the "ism" attached. I might be wrong, but that Is the way I feel about it.

All right, then, let's go. In doing our work, is it not the things that count? Does not the man that does the little things and thinks cf them all the time, the one that gets along faster than the one that does not? Then why not the little things in being an Amerl can? Ia doing the little things while out, you will find that you will be recognized and respected more than If you went out, made a lot of noise about this and that, left the place and never thought any thing more about what you said or did, except to wait at home for the next Issue of the Garden Island, to see how much of a write-up they gave you, bo that you could throw out your chest a little more, and maybe have your head swell also. One of tho things we do unconsciously a lot of the time, but we do It. It is noticed by the people of the town that we do it In, and they are the ones that think and talk about it. That Is to pass through a town in a hurry with a machine during the day.

Towns such as Waimea, Eleele, Koloa, Lihue, Kapaa and Kilauea. There is one especially where we are continuously in danger if we do, and that is Hanapepe. Passing schools without due respect of what is going on at the time, seeing how much noise we can make to disturb the children. Also the danger you are putting the children In to if you happen to be going by In the early morning or when school is let out and the children are on tho way home. The children are the ones that are growing up and they see more of the things like that and think about them than anybody else.

They see others do it, believe that it is alright that they do it. That is why the high school boy today is one of the inout reckless and cureless drivers there is. Because he knows and realizes there is danger in it? No. Because he has seen others do it and believes it to be all right. In high school I did the same thing myself.

It was a May day and the Kaahaumunu school was having exercises in Thomas Square, across from the McKinley school. The school let us out a little early at recess time to see the exercises. At that time I took some girls for a machine ride. We started toward Waikiki, proceeding out around Diamond Head and on back by the way of K.iimuki. When we were at Fourteenth avenue and Waia-lae road, one of them said the bell would ring tor recess to be over In about five minutes.

We reached the doorsteps: of the school just as the first bell was ringing. Those who know Honolulu, can imagine how the machine must have traveled and the danger that all had been put to, also others who might have happened to have been on the roads. Was that being a good American? No. But I 'had seen others doing it felt proud about, talked about it, so thought it was all right at the time. In fact, I was proud of it.

Have not the students of today the same ideas? not all, but I believe a lot of them have. Not so much in the states as here iu Hawaii. A number of them get the idea in their heads and it never leaves them'. Decause of it, they want to be "schofers" after they got out of school. Anything to get hold of a steerlngwheel of a machine and to be driving around as some others.

So, let's all be a little more careful and watch our-sjlves. I will try to be one with the rest. Proper Observance of Holiday' Am 1 going after the plantations because they do not stop work and let 'the men off from work every time a holiday comes along? No. The proper observance of them. Not so much of them as one In particular.

MEMORIAL In Honolulu and other places, you hear more of what is going to happen than you do of what the day is for. You hear of horse racing, baseball games, the opening season of yacht racing and other sports. It is true that in the last couide of years, or since the war has been over, it is observed more properly than before, because its meaning has been brought nearer to us. A day of remembrance for the soldier dead. They who gave the supreme sacrifice from tho time of Washington and up to the time of today.

Why should we go out and have big sporting events. You who have graves to decorate, you do not go to the ball game or horse races. Then why should we who have no grave to decorate, go out to a ball game or horse race? Did they not die Cor us, for America, for everybody? Then why shouldn't we think of them for one day. I know that because of the war, it has come a whole lot nearer to nie than to some others, because of what I saw. This year as I am at the head of the Memorial Day committee it has come to me a whole lot sooner and has made me think of it more often.

But, at that, is It not being a good American? This year exercises will be held in the Tip Top Theater, under a program being arranged by the Kauai Post of the American Legion, with a lot of assistance from others who are not able to join the Legion, but who have an Interest In Memorial Day. The entire public of Kauai is invited to come and join in our exercises, In respect to those who have gone before us. We have holidays which should be celebrated otherwise to show that we are happy and glad that our country is a free country and that we are not in the hands of autocrats. We have Independence Day and Armistice Day. There are others but today they are the two celebrated all over the states.

They are ones we should use for ball games and horse races. Albert B. Bush, member, Americanization Committee. UNITED STATES VETERAN BUREAU The United States Veteran's Bureau, district of Hawaii, has finally come into existence. Henry P.

O-' Sullivan, who is taking charge of this bureau has just returned from San Francisco where he received three months' instructions in the duties of his office. That Legionnaires consider themselves fortunate In the appointment of Mr. O'Sullivan is shown by the following which appeared in the press at the time he left the islands three months ago. "If you don't know him, you've missed something big and fine. He Is the old wheel horse of the Legion of Hawaii.

When the busk Is being passed around, everyone gives it a shove towards Henry. When It finally lands on him, he smiles and goes to it and the work is done. He is ex-officio, the unofficial chairman and whole cheese of every committee that has work to do; he acts as nurse, doctor, and coroner for everything tho Legion undertakes in Hawaii. His spirit is the personification of (lie highest Ideals of the Legion." It is surprising tho number of unpaid claims ex-service men and their families have against the It is principally due to tho fact that they do not know what they have coming to them or do nol know how to go about It in order to get it. Often the ex-service man has made tho effort only to receive in return a circular letter with some of the paragraphs chocked with a blue pencil.

It is to inform him that ho has made his claim to the wrong department, and il usually leaves him more puzzled than he was before. It is going to be the work of the United StaeB eterans' Bureau in Honolulu to receive all these claims and dispatch them to the proper department In Washington where they get immediate attention. Thvie Is a decidedly wide scope to the work of this bureau. It will handle government difficulties, allotment and travel pay which has been unpaid and those two most important, things, medical treatment and vocational training. The last mentioned looks particularly attractive in that an ex-service man receives an allowance while learning Ms now vocation.

In order that the work may be properly done the bureau in this district be furnished with a squad composed of a doctor, claims, vocational training and insurance experts who will tour the islands to investigate claims. In order to facilitate the work of these experts the Kauai post of the Amer lean Legion has already taken steps to get a list of the names of all ex-service men on this Island -claims against v. a DANCE POSTERS The Kauat post of the American Legion wanted posters for their Nnght in the Orient ball, which was given last Saturday night. This fact was made known to the students of the 1 'gh school and were offered lor the best Mires listers sr. Vniitftd.

Almost anybody you meet is only too anxious tn tell you how to mix together the raisins, corn, a cake of yeast, a plug of tobacco to give that smoky taste and an old rubber boot for color and then end by saying: "The finest drink you ever tasted."

General Cornelius Vanderbllt, at a dinner on his yacht Romola, told a war story. "What was true of the civil war be true of the world war some day," he began. "In a hotel smoking room back in tho '9us a number of veterans got into a dispute over a certain battle.

The veterans all of high rank argued very turbulently. But a quiet man spoko up and said, 'Gentlemen, I happened to be there at that engagement, and I think I can settle the point at And settle It he did. The hotel proprietor, much impressed, said to him when he got through: 'My dear sir, what may have been your rank In the 'I was a private, sir, a full was the calm reply.

More over, the list of ellgibles is constantly increasing.

The latest arrival is 'Miss Sybil Elizabeth Scribner. When approached on the subject Miss Scribner said: "Yes, I think the idea is excellent. At present whenever there is an afternoon bridge we are parked with the cook or brought In at tho time of refreshments are served and goo-goo-ed" over" by a lot of older people with whom we have nothing In common. Don't misunderstand me. I mean no disrespect, but It is obvious that the tie that binds two different generations together is very insecure.

Yes, I am captivated with Kauai. Not for a moment would I have considered being born anywhere else." HERO STUFF I knew a man who stayed out of the American Legion for a long while because be said ho didn't want to go In i'or any of that "haio stuff aske- for He had an idea l.hs the Vinrlc.it. Legion was for the advertisement of a man's war record; therefore the man who was lucky enough to get across but was unlucky enough not to would go by unnoticed. This man is now in the Legion and ho has changed his lind. It was he who called my attention to an drtlcio In a recent number o' the American Legion "Yes, rem) i iisation can lie lid," was the name of the ar and It wes written by A.

Piatt Andrew. A note by the editor said that Mr. Andrew is a member of congress from Massachusetts, and he has held the position of assistant secretary of the treasury and director of the mint of t'ie United States, and professor of economics at Harvard. This shows that he is well qualified to write nu article under the above mentioned title. It the American Legion is out to boost a man's war record here was an excellent time to do so, but no mention is made of what Mr.

Andrew did in the war. No man has a more enviable war record. Back in the days when the papers were telling us how to be neutral, Doc Andrew had already won the Croix de Guerre. Before Christmas of 1914 he had interested a number of Americans of Paris to donate their automobiles for ambulance work in the city. This was the start of tho American Ambulance which outgrew itself throughout the war.

He took it into the feild attached to the French army and it became the American Field Ambulance. When there were more drivers than cars he put them on trucks and the name was again changed to the American Field Service. There was a well organized automobile service of 5000 Americans in the field when we came into the war. Doc. turned it over to the American army.

He became the head of it; he was made a colonel; he became an officer in the Legion of Honor. And, now, as far as tho Legion is concerned, he is just A. P. Andrew. ODDS AND ENDS One no longer needs hesitate about sending for the famous "Book of Etiquette." It comes under a plain wrapper.

Be It ever so humble get a clubhouse. Never have nothing to do with no newspaper man. If he prints something about you, that you don't like, don't ask him to retract he'll only make it worse. That accounts for the smile that hid our Indignation when we read about the meeting of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Newspaper items say that tho Legion seeks a nautical school in the islands and that a COO bed hospital Is to be established In the territory.

The first idea is good, but the second demands too large an expense. It would be far more ethnomieal to include in the equipment of each member of the nautical school a bottle of Mother Sill's seasick remedy. A Word for Father "Dear God," prayed golden haired little Willie, "please watch over my mamma." And then he added as an afterthought: "And I dunno as It would do any harm to keep an eye on the old man. too." The Leatherneck (Washington). THE GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION Whereas, there are, unfortunately, conditions throughout the world that demand constant attention by humane agencies, and Whereas, it is highly desirable that the people of Hawaii continue to devote a part of their attention looking to a betterment of such 'conditions; to a more humane treatment of children and dumb animals, and Whereas, the splendid work now performed by the Hawaiian Humane Society, iu attempting to ameliorate such conditions as they obtain in our territory, can be greatly benefitted, by the co-operation and assistance of all the people; Now, therefore, W.
