Soda Pop Is the Last Course at Native Feast That Is Enjoyed by the Hawaiians From poi to soda pop looks like a long gastronomic leap, but it can be made at a Hawaiian luau in about two hours, with luck, writes a Honolulu United Press , correspondent. A luau is a native feast, done in the alleged manner of King with little in the way of Kame-hameh- a, the modern touch except the $3 or so a plate, and the pop. Strictly translated, luau means spinach, according to authority on old Hawaii and luaus. The real name, according to an authority, is ahaaina, and some white man of early times is responsible for getting it confused with spinach. However it may have happened, the name clung and only the most meticulous scholars call it anything else now. Luau is pro- nounced loo-oSuch items as chairs, knives and forks are dispensed with at luaus, and the feast is started sitting down, the food spread on mats of leaves: It is not considered quite proper to lie down for the first half hour or so, but after that no one minds. , Everything is eaten with the fingers, and an American must be fast with his digits to keep up with the natives in going through a bowl substance of poi. Being a paste-lik- e in both appearance and taste, it is adapted readily to finger serving. But after the poi, the raw fish, the pork, the seaweed, the lomi-loand numerous other items comes the finale, the climax which was the pride of the first chief to trade a bunch of bananas for a case of pink pop. The soda pop is served. It is said that early chiefs had as much fun shaking up the pop and squirting it as they did drinking it, but at any rate its popularity was immediate and permanent. mi s SALT LAKES HEWEST HOSTELRY OOnr lobby Is delightfully air cooled during the summer months Radio tor Every Room d HOTEL Temple Square Rates $1.50 to $3.00 The Hotel Temple Square has a atmoshighly desirable, friendly Immacphere.
