Queen's Hospital Troubles
With a regularity almost equal to the certainty
of spells of measles and mumps' running through
the community, the Queen's Hospital affairs come
before the people for an airing.
Tbe Star-Bulletin is not acquainted with the
facts in the particular incident now subject to spe
cial investigation. It voices at this time only a feel
ing of regret, which is believed to be general, that
this institutibn of such value and such broad oppor
tunity for service is unable to avoid catawall up
heavals. Speaking generally, the Queen's Hospital is not
up to the standard that should characterize a gen
eral hospital in a city of the size and wealth of
Honolulu. Also the Queen's Hospital does more
with less money than any similar institution of
which records are given.
0
Those who wondered that Honolulu could exist
so long without an ambulance and an emergency
hospital are equally surprised when they learn that
the Queen's Hospital is forced to worry along from
year -to year with hardly enough funds to carry it
through. Add to this the old buildings and physical
arrangement typical of the old Honolulu houses
that grew through the addition of a ianai here, and
another there, and you have some idea of the handi
caps under which the hospital has struggled in
maintaining its excellent record for the care and
cure of patients. v
Judging from the record thejQueen's Hospital
appears to be all right The trouble, is with the
community that does not rally valiantly in provid
ing' that which is required for proper development.
Perhaps the Queen's Hospital needs more or oth
er men to run it That may be left to the trustees
to determine. Of one fact you may rest assured,
the hospital needs more money to enable! tp fill
the natural field of a general hospital in the city
of Honolulu. k
NATIONAL GUARD DUTY.
One truth is accepted as self-evident in all mat
ters having to do with the relation of an American
citizen to his country he wishes to' be assigned to
the place and the work where he can do the greatest
good.
.The judge of a man's value must be the offlcinlB
in control: the managers of the task immediately
in hand, v ,
Whether ; it ia pleasant or not, the path of patri
otHi may lead to a teriod of InactJvitr if so. the
dufy otthe lndiridual Is just as definite ai It would

They are brought especially to oind br the charac

that : our organizatioB be called, immediately Into

The spirit of readinesa for any duty evidenced
by . an expressed desire to move to the front i9
worthy of all commendation. One can forrive the
reatksa chafing at restraint ' -;;;

Isn't that the thing for you to do? And while
doir it work hard and keep quiett
The creation answers Itself. There is work for
the Rational Guard of Etawaii to do. " Iiotsof it
The citizen soldiers must not think that failure to
(1 them immediately into intensive service is the
signal to sit on the fence and do nothing till the
call la aounded. In a few weeks the guard in Ha
waU may be the only 'guard unit not to the federal
service, If this proves true the duty of the officers
and the rank and file of the guard is to enter with
renewed rigor into the work of perfecting every
single aetail or tne personnel, equipment, individual
and collective efficiency.
That Is the job on hand for the National Guard.
Just plain drilling, day and night drilling; the old
time routine intensified at every noint where inten
sification' will put officers and men in better condi
tion to fall into line at a moment's notice.
: It may be tiresome. It may be unromantic. It
may be drudgery and seem foolish to the guards
man who wants to do something. But this is duty.
Where is the American not ready to do his dutv?
i Jf, after all this work the guardsmen are not call-i
ed upon to go to France or to be numbered as reg
ulars at any stage of the game, they still have the
greatest satisfaction that can be enjoyed by any
American 4he knowledge and the record that they
were' ready for any service and they did the. work
laid out for them by the officers of their govern
ment and did it willingly
; So let's not indulge in any4 hysteria about not be
ing appreciated but settle down vigorously to fol
lowing orders.

guard to show up regularly for drill or be court

-KEEP ALIVE - PROMOTION BODY"
"By an means Seep sllrs tha posi
tion of aecretary tl the Hawlfl Pro
motion commtttee," declared Albert
P. Taylor, secretary of the commit
tee who baa tendered his resignation
to take effect in September, In an
tntervletr with the Btarunetin to
day.
To do awaj wtU that position now,
declares Mr. Taylor, wotffd be virtual
ly the undoing of a work that It has
taken years to bund np; a work that
was given tts first real Impetus by
the late B. P. Wood. wBb was secre
tary of the committee for many years
prior to his death, and which has been
carried forward to Che extent where
Hawaii Is now known In every large
dty fa the United State.
-It has taken years," says Mr. Tay
lor, "to make people believe that the
Promotion, committee is not an or
ganization promoting some sort of a
deal; that it is a bureau of informa
tion for the Hawaiian Islands, and
purely an organization which works
to aid tbe tourist and the prospective
visitor to these islands."
But this incorrect impression has
been gradually wiped out,, he says,
and today the Hawaii Promotion com
mittee is the first plac looked to
when information regarding the ter
ritory Is wanted.
"I think it would be a grave mis
take to do away with the position of
secretary of the committee," iTr. Tay
lor adds. "Someone is needed to di
rect the great work of publicity and
information dissemination that has
been built np."
The flower is unusually larga and
beautiful and blooms only at sight.
It is yellow la the center, and its
leaves turn almost to white, so tt ts
plainly visible la the dark. The plant
that it grows on is a creeping cactus
and covers the rough stone wall
around the campus.
TURTLE SOUP A LA DOYLE
Turtle Soup. Chester Doyle IS"

menu of the EL Francis hotel. San

Chester A. Doyle, proprietor of the
famous Nlkko In Young street, racon
teur and Japanese-interpreter la dr
cult court, Is, spending his two-ninths'
vacation at the big coast dty hostelry.
If mainland newspaper reports are
correct. July 10 followed the day
when "Chat," garbed la frock coat
and high silk hat, led a Hawaiian tur
tle through the lobby of the SL Fran
da, presented It to the manager for
the making of soup, the recipe for
which is under lock and key at Nlkko,
and Incidentally furnished a column
or so of "live staff for each of the
San Francisco newspapers,
"Major-General" Doyle expects to
return to Honolulu this month. Writ
ing to friends here recently, he is re
ported to hae said:
"Please scout all rumors that I
contemplate matrimony before return
ing to Honolulu. I prefer a bachelor s
life at Nlkko, where Stella, the mon
key, waves her Irish flag and
screeches for the Allies."
License Inspector "Pop" Hutton is
a walking and working illustration
of the statement that "as the twig
is bent so it will grow." He had 'a
bent" for detective work and has be
came a fair master of the profession,
in spite of the fact that his first oc
cupation as a boy- was that of an
architect's draughtsman.
The license inspector was reminded
of this the other day while gazing
at a drawing of a future akyscrapper
for Honolulu. The architect had In
cluded an Imposing chimney from
which smoke was pouring 'in great
volume. "That's, what 1 did the first
time I ever drew plans for a house,"
the license inspector said. "Natural
ly," he added, "my smokestack and
Its smoke didn't Jibe with the rest
of the drawing and I got called into
the boss' room for a lecture, phrased
in three syllable words," It wasn't
long afterward that he decided he
was cut out for a detective and not an
architect.
"But I never forgot that lecture.
On my first visit to Honolulu I went
up JJanca-valley for a look around.
All the . time I was there something
seemed ' to be wrong with all the
houses. On my way back I saw one
lone .house with a thimney. Then 1

Pop says. - .
A simple matter that, but rather
good -proof that the license inspector
does possess deductive powers.

' Sheriff Wfiliam .Rice, who was in
town this week on registration work,
tells a story on Chris Holt, his clerk
at ths Iihue office.
.Bice was met fie other day by a
tearful old Portuguese man . who
walled that Lis ;yotmg son was lost,
probably drowned in the treacherous
waters of a Lfhue creek. The lad bad
been climbing for mangoes in trees
that overhung the stream and had
failed to come home at the appointed
hour. - :. .
The sheriff immediately summoned
Clerk Holt and toll him of the old
man's pilikla, and the two decided the
waters of that stream had better be
Inspected. Holt went down to the
stream, disrobed himself and began
diving. Bice gave instructions from
the bank shore. ,
After Holt had been, on his search
so long that Its -was beginning to feel
like, a -water-lagged U-boat, a crack
ling in the bushes was heard and a
small Portuguese lad made his appear
ance with a string of fish.
"What y'doin' down there?" said the
lad. ,
lm hunting for you," said Holt,
and from the; glint in the clerk's eyes
the Tad decided he'd better be getting
home.
- They call Chris the "diver" now at
Iihue.
t The night blooming cereus hedge
running around the Punahou campus
win tbe in bloom again within the
next two or three days. The buds
have reached a considerable size and
will be cut shortly.
That this is the largest night bloom
ing cereus hedge in the world, is the
boast that the school has made for
a long time. It extends between
three and four hundred, yards along
the wall on Punahou street and about
200 yards along Wilder avenue on
the south side of the camous.
WAS PLANNING PUBLIC LUAU
F. J. Green, executive officer of the
central board of registration, has dis
covered the most generous woman In
Honolulu. She was laying plans to
feed every person who registered ir
her precinct, and the precinct was a
Isrge one.
When the word came out that Red
Cross workers were to' furnish meals
to the clerks and registrars on July
31, this woman gained the idea that
all the registrants as well were to be
fed, and was getting ready for the day
accordingly.-
Luckily the woman learned the true
extent of the Red Cross offer and is
now. measuring .her larder according
IyJ Anyway; says' Officer Green, it
shows the spirit of Honolulu women,
and . I have ho doubt If the call had
come they would have been capable
of the herculean task this lady was
planning for.
