STATELY GROVE OF HAWAirS ROYAL LINE
TO STAND AS MEMORIAL TO ISLAND KINGS
Builders of New Hotel
Adapt Plans to Preserve
Scene of Ancient
Ceremonials.
HE Twentieth Century has
been an unlucky one for
kings, and the action of the
builders of Hawaii’s new
est hotel in adapting their
plans so as to preserve the beauty
of the royal grove of palms in the
midst of which the structure is now
being erected is in striking contrast
to the scant respect paid of late
years to the titles, dignities and
possessions of royalty.
No member of the royal family
has ruled in Hawaii since 1893, but
the royal grove which once sur
rounded the palace of its rulers on
Waikiki Beach has always been
looked upon as typifying the splen
dor and beauty of the old regime in
the days of its greatest glory. Here
the nobles gathered to take their
vows of fealty. Here were exhibit
ed those marvelous feats of horse-;
manship for which the Hawaiians
have long been noted Here were j
held the royal feasts, or luaus.
Unusual Precautions
To avoid marring the beauties of
this grove so closely associated
with the history of Hawaii under its j
native rulers, the architects of the
JEtoyal Hawaiian Hotel have taken j
every precaution to protect the i
trees during the process of con-1
etruction, and to reduce to a mini- i
mam the number of trees which
would have to be cut down.
The modern hotel wh ch will rear Its par-nets n t>>e midst o* a p-cve

SECT. DAVIS STAUNCH
FLAPPERS HAVE EXISTED FOR
PAST TEN THOUSAND YEARS
TELLS HEARERS
WASHINGTON, May 17, (/P).—Flap
perdom found a staunch suporter to
day in James J. Davis, Secretary of
Labor, who, in an address at Arling
ton Cemetery, likened the modern
girl, with her short skirts, to the
girls of the early nineteenth century.
He agreed that some flappers were j
frivolous, but that the overwhelming J
majority were “quite sedate as were j
their mothers at the same age.”
Flappers had existed for the past j
ten thousand years about whom, he j
asserted, the same things were said j
by their elders that are being said ;
today. If there was any doubt about |
it, he urged his hearers to recall Ed- I
mund Burke, who “begged his gener
ation to bear in mind that because
half a dozen grasshoppers under a
fern made a field to ring with their
chink, it did not follow that they were
the only inhabitants of the field, for
in that same field thousands of cattle
chewed their cuds silently in the shad
ow of the British oak.
“Thus,” he added, “might we speak
of our noisy flappers, in comparison
with the whole. They are few in
number.”
- Some allowance must be made for
the spirit of youth, the Secretary as
serted in discouraging any belief that
the flappers whose escapades enliven
the press columns are “destined ne
cessarily to shoot Niagara.”

THREE MONTHS IN EUROPE
Colonel Steese, who is entering up
on his seventh consecutive year as
president of the A. R. C., and in
charge of river and harbor improve
ments and miscellaneous other duties,
returned to his Juneau headquarters
just a few weeks ago after a leave of
I v
absence of nearly three months, dur
ing which time he made an exten
sive tour of Europe, embracing visits
at London, Paris and Madrid, and
three weeks spent in the Sahara des
ert. There, with a party of friends
and a caravan of 15 camels, he made
a journey across the African sands
covering a period of ten days. The
three months leave of absence was
the first vacation he has enjoyed in
nine years.
INSPECTS LOCAL ROADS
Yesterday afternoon, in company
with Mr. Eide, Colonel Steese inspect

so looked over the Sewrard-Kenai lake
highway. Several other important lo
cal business matters occupied his en
tire time until the departure of the
freight train for Anchorage, about
6 o’clock which he departed on. He
expected to have several hours at the
Anchorage office prior to thedeparture
of the passenger train for the Inter
ior which he expected to board. Fol
lowing a hurried inspection around
the Fairbanks district he will go down
the river to Koyukuk where some
work will be done this year. He
hopes to make connections with the
steamer Jacobs scheduled to leave
Nenana on May is. As it is import
ant he be back in Juneau by June
