Star-Bulletin looks back at 1945 "when the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Wage Analysis, attempted to establish wage standards for professional hula dancers," and "first came up with two classifications for dancers, using extremely specific and colorful language." Offensively hilarious.

Plus more anecdotes on the history of hula.
