PINEAPPLE BRINGS PROGRESS
TO HAWAII
t r ISITORS to Hawaii are some-
V times surprised to find in-
stead of grass huts, ovens
built in the ground, beantiful
American ) homes, cosmopolitan
cuisines and pineapple plantations
which are among the most modern
of any plantations in the world.
They are apt to forget that al-
though the islands of Hawaii have
been civilized only a comparatively
short time as civilization goes, dur-
ing that time they have been civ-
ilized at high pressure. Owing to
the magic of Hawaiian climate and
natural beauty, they have quickly
become one of the most cosmopol-
itan spots of the world.
It is this curious mixture of the
old and the new which makes Ha-
wall so interesting.
Yesterday the little girl who sat
before her grass but knew only
the art of mat-weaving or lauhala
hatmaking. In the long Hawaiian
evenings she sat inside her but list-
ening to the legends of the Fire-
gods told by the old folks as they
eat mending their nets fo_ the next
day’s catch. She could swim and
dive, shinny a cocoanut tree and
drop down the big nut whose milk
was so cooling even under tropical
suns; and she could go "torch fish-
ing” with the men who waded deep
out at sea with torch and spear to
catch the squib and eel. oil
dashing into the shore at the rate
of 25 or 30 miles an hour, erect
and poised on a bit of board drive
A by breakers.
Most of the changes in the man-
nor of social life in Hawaii have
come in the last 25 years, and much
of it can be traced to the time
when Hawaii was found to be the
ideal spot for pineapple planta-
tions and the biggest ones in the
world began to be established
there.
With the pineapple plantations
came the opportunity for natives
to find abundant work in the fields
—out-of-door work in the land they
loved best. Higher wages than
they had ever before received en-
abled them to think of things out-
side the little banana and taro
patch at home.
diet of “poi,” which is Hawaiian
bread ninde from the taro root,
fish, cooked bananas and raw pine-
apples. They learned among other
things something of the dietetic
benefit of the canned pineapple
which they were producing and up
in the big cafeteria, they sampled
new ways of serving it »
With employment for women in
the canneries came day nurseries
for children. These nurseries were
equipped with the best gymna-
alums and playgrounds for chil-
dren. Clinics were introduced so
that "better babies” as well as
“better pineapples” could be grown
in Hawaii. Trained kindergartners
were hired to teach the kiddies or-
ganized play, and dietitians taught .
The mothers what foods their chil- —
dren should eat.
Hawaiians begen to take a keen
interest in the big pineapple plan-
tetions which afforded them a bet-
ter living, and they took a greater
pride in making them the best
fields and canneries found any-
where in the world.
Today she sits on the lanai, or
veranda, and reads, or chats in
very good English with friends,
over Kona coffee, Hawaiian pastry,
pineapple jam or poha jelly. She
still loves adventure. Often in the
eHrenings she goes down to the bi

hotels and enjoys the
"I even though it is so
Schools were built and with edu-
cation came the desire for better
homes Slowly the little grass huts
gave way to small cottages. These
cottages grew in size as the work-
ers became more prosperous and
many who became rich in the in-
dustry built homes which are now
pointed out to sightseers of the
Paradise Islands.
Women were employed in the the magic of Hawaiian moonlight,
new pineapple canneries and ideals
of cleanliness instilled into them
which were carried to the home.
They enjoyed wearing the snowy
white caps and aprons which were
the uniforms supplied to workers
in the factories, and with the rub-
ber gloves policy of rireapple can-
neries which prohibits human
hands ever touching the fruit,
came a new idea of sanitary meth-
ods of cooking.
Warm meals served the workers
Climate brought wealthy visitors
from everywhere to enjoy the

=====
at noon in the pineapple canner-
ies introduced into Hawaii some
new dishes which the woman found -. .
lent variety to their rather limited terday.
Hotels with their entertainment
brought over to Hawaii the gaiety
and life that Hnwalians love.
An annual pageant commemor-
lies the Hawaii that used to be.
Great Ivans, feasts, are held, food
is cooked in underground ovens,
and visitors are treated to a taste
of the Hawaiian bread, made from
taro root. Strains of Hawaiian
music float out through the palm
trees and graceful hula dancera
with leis of woven flowers toss
these tokens to newcomers to the
Paradise of the Pacific, who wish
for a glimpse of the Hawaii of yes-
The Pine Tree and a
Christmas Inspiration
THE creaking, crunching snow un-
V der foot, as well as the crisp,
frosty air bespoke a tempera-
ture some degrees below sera How-
ever, native mid-westerners looked
for, anticipated and expected a quanti-
ty of snow and cold weather for the
Christmas holidays. Their expecta-
tions were usually right with an
added cold stretch long before the
holidays, and long after them.
The hard lines of the massive,
bulky, stone Central Administration
building of the college was delight-
fully contrasted against the dead
white, fluffy, fairy-like snow all about
it. This building, as did four others,
faced a huge stretch of campus, with
groupings of trees scattered pleasing-
ly about to break the wide expanse.
Trees, heavily hung with the almost,
artificial-looking cottony webbing
formed an artistic group across the
road and in front of the building. In
the center of the group stood a well
formed, tall, perfect specimen of a
long-needled pine. It was singled
out to be the proud possessor of many
colored lights distributed about gen-
erously among its branches. Deserving
of praise was this awesome tree, and
its surroundings.
Silhouetted against the sky, form-
ing a background for the proud pine
tree stood the campanile, the. pride
of every student on the campus. In
the dull afterglow of the winter
twilight the chimes were extolling the
Christmas carols. -
At the foot of the narrow winding
staircase of iron which leads to the
belfry of the campanile, upon clone
inspection could be seen a maid and
young man—not the first time, nor
would itbe the last time the cam-
panile should witness such a sight
The meeting had been planned in view
of their separation on the morrow
when both would go to their homes.
Moved by the sight of the proud pine,
Its symbolism, and the chimes, they
‘bade each other farewell in fond em-
brace, carrying away with them the
spirit of the proud pine tree in their
hearts.—Eleanor E. King.

Making Others Happy
Will Bring Happiness
(UNT ELIZA had lived alone for
Al many years; her finances had
dwindled, and her health as
well.
It was Christmas Five and as Aunt
Eliza returned from town with a few
little things that her scant purse could
buy, her heart was a little heavy, for
the winter was before her and ther
strength was falling fast.
“I'm glad I got that knife for crip-
pled Jim; he so enjoys cutting out
those animals. Ufa is worth while so
long as we can give others pleasure,
and there is always some one that we
can help. 111 read to blind Jane to-
morrow and that will help her and me
pass away the day. 'Tonight I must
try to think of some way that I can
earn money. Sister would help me if
she knew, so would the church ladies,
bet I simply can’t tell anyone. Well,
the only way to be hanny is to make
some one else happy, so I'll take Jim-
my’s knife to him. God has never
forsaken me." All this was going
through Aunt Elisa's mind.
As she opened the door she stood
face to face with her only sister. She
I was overcome with joy.
"Oh, Eliza, all the children want for
Christmas is you, and they sent me
for you. We have a nice home next
to ours, for you. We will start to-
night so we can get there for dinner
tomorrow. You shall never feel lone-
iy again."
Elisa continues to believe that mak-
ing others happy brings happiness.-
