FINE BUILDINGS
BE ERECTED
:|
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 27.—“Haw
aiian Renaissance” one of the latest
developments in architecture, is to
distinguish a group of commercial
buildings to be erected soon in Hono
lulu. The buildings are being design
ed by Louis Christian Mullgardt, San
Francisco architect, who designed the
“Court of Ages” and other features
df the Panama Pacific International
exposition, held here in 1915.
The first seven buildings in the
scheme will be erected at a cost of
$3,000,000. The new commercial cen
ter will be focused at the Intersec
tions of Bishop street, and the build
ings already designed will face King,
Merchant, Queen, Alakea and Bishop
streets. They will be of varying
i heights as governed by commercial
requirements.
The intersection of Bishop and
Merchant streets will be transformed
into a circus, the cross line axis of,
which will have a monument suitable
| to the history of the islands. The
street arcades forming the ground
floor of each structure have been so
designed that they may be used as
promenades thereby obviating the
necessity for awnings or marquees, j
There will be a system of indirect
exterior illumination whereby the en-^
tire commercial center may be light
ed up at a moment’s notice for festal
occasions. All of the structures will
be fireproof throughout and faced
with vitreous terra cotta in soft tones, I
appropriate to the natural setting of
the islands.
The “Hawaiian Renaissance” will
i
call for an archiecture in keeping with
the commercial requirements, climatic
conditions and customs of the islands.'
Bishop street, wilt he cut through to
the water front, ftnd Incoming tour
ists will be given a splendid vision of J
the new building group from the har
bor.
GROTESQUE MILITIAMEN TAKE
PLACES RUSSIAN POLICE
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.—Sitting!
on sunny porches and steps and chew i
Ing sunflower seed constitute the
principal duties of the militiamen who
have supplanted inefficient police in
many Russian cities, acording to Eiv
ind Erichsen. manager for a large
European machinery concern in the
newest of republics. These militia
men are without uniforms, wear any
thing from a derby to a six penny cap
and are armed with anything from a
rifle to a rusty sword. Despite this
Inactivity there is no demand for the
return of the police, he stated. The
police are so hated, according to his
information, that they are called
“Pharcons,” because they are consid
ered so far behind the times that
they should have lived in the days of
the ancieht Pharaohs of Egypt.
In order to accommodate their cus
tomers and the public generally,
Finkelstein & Sapiro will keep their'
store open on Monday evening.

In a recent article It was reetim
mended that women who wish to sew

to give time to sewing or knitting can
not afford to lmy all the materials they
need. In this case they can arrange
to do tlie work for other women who
are willing to buy materials hut
haven’t time for the work. In some
places the Red Cross chapters furnish
tlie goods and give out work to volun
teers who make up needed garments.
Patterns for garments are all issued
iri two sizes, medium and large. Ac
cording to lted Cross instructions, two
medium-sized garments should he
: made to every one of large size, for
American hospitals and no large sizes
for French hospitals. The patterns are
issued according to the requirements
of tlie Red Cross by all the standard
pattern companies.
