Notice.

Teachers and Trustees should
read carefully the following letter;
Frankfort, KY, July 26, 1912
NV dear Superintendent:
The purpose of this letter is that
we may, as nearly as possible. have
uniform course of action in the
enforcement OF the Compulsory At
tendance Act in the various coun-
ties of the State.
/. The teacher must have at the
school house copy of the CEN
sus report of the district. which
should, as the law requires, give
the ages of all pupils listed,
2. The teacher and subdistriot
trustee both should II possible, COM
municate with delinquent parents
before reporting such delinquency TO
the county board of education. II
will produce far better results II
this can be made a personal CON
ference, II this is impracticable, as
1t will doubtless be In some In
stances, then a letter should be writ
ten. The first letter should be
written by the teacher and before
the trustee has been notified OF
the parents delinquency. The ad'
visibility OF this is apparent, since
It is in the nature Of personal ap'
peal,
8. The law does not require the
teacher to visit delinquent parents
/ in person. or even to write them
but many teachers will dc this o
their own yolition, and many other
will do so with the very highest re
suits, II the county superintendent
will only make the suggestion.
Let us enforce this law in tn
spirit OF love and yet in the spiri
OF firmness, when all moral in
fluences have ceased to avail.
sincerely trust that there shall b
very few, indeed, who shall fail {
yield to the persuasive influences Q
the teacher and trustee.
Yours very truly.

PITIFUL SCENES DURING
HOTEL FIRE

The Barnett lodging house,
649-51 South Clark street, the
home of nearly 200 of the crippled
beggars of Chicago, was quilted
by fire today.
Sixmen are known to be killed,
and one woman and her new born
child and several other, people are
dying.
Flames burst out, at $50
o'clock: Only a single alarm was
turned in, and no sealing ladders
or heavy truck equipment an
swered the call. Thus the fire
was allowed to gain Roadway.
The scenes at the fire were pitt
full. The rooms in the lodging
house are only eight by four feet.
1t is the custom of the dodgers to
lock themselves in their rooms.

Ioint OF hunting, was a great success.
She bagged an elephant or two. sew.
eraf lions. fhinoceroses. Glands chez
tabs, water bucks and Grants ga
zelles. She is said to be the first
woman to have established such a
record in big game hunting.
On her return to Canifornia, how
ever. she still pinned for the great
open places and the fascination of big
game stalking. With the fever of the
hunt still in her veins. she fitted out
en- expedition for the PARKWAY
shores of Alaska and the Frozen
North, and set forth in pursuit of the
elusive mountain sheep. the clumsy
polar bear and the great slothful wal
rus. From this jaunt she brought
back many valuable specimens. some
OF which may be seen mounted and
on good behavior in the museum of
natural history at the University of

Will
Bring COLOR
TOFACE
Honolulu Girls Should Not Give
Way to Complexion De-
Stroying Inertia.

A mainland visitor TO the islands,
while speaking of the beauty and
charm Of the Honolulu girls, express
ed surprise at their almost colorless
faces and remarked further that the
condition could he greatly improved
through systematic exercise IL one
has lived here long lime one may
have become accustomed to them, but
nevertheless the women or girls from
another part of the world or even an
other part Of the islands with their
fresh compilations are quite notice.
able Even on the Island OF Hawaii
there is a noticeable vim and vigor
about the girls and they have more
color and are much more healthy
looking. A possible reason for the
pale compilations of some of the Ho-
nolulu girls is that they do not exer-
else enough, for in most cases those
who do not exercise are the ones who
cannot boast of roses in their cheeks.
On the Island of Hawaii where there
are no street-cars the people do q
great deal of walking, and their heal
thy condition is reflected in their
eaces.
Avoid Tan.
The girls and women do not
tan for they wear large hats or carry
sunshades. On the coast the majority
of families in moderate circumstances
cannot afford more than one servant
and consequently most of the house
work is done by the women of the
family, and the beneficial effects are
enjoyed by them, for it is said that
there is no exercise so beneficial to
women as sweeping, bedmaking, win
dow-cleaning, ETC., and this has been
proven in many instances. Here in
Honolulu where there are servants in
plenty and the women are not COM
PEELED to do any physical work in the
home, the exercise the body really
needs is neglected. Ii you look about
or stop to think for moment you
will recall that your friends with the
bright eyes and good compilations are
the ones who have regular mode of
exercising. When women come from
another cline to make their homes in
the islands the prophecy that they
will soon lose their pretty complex
ions often comes true, and the reason
for this should not be blamed to the
climate, for If that were the cause no
one here would have good complex
ion.
Walking the Secret.
The real cause is probably iner
tia, mental and physical An eastern
society woman known all over the
United States for her beauty, recon-
mends walking as splendid exercise.
She says that she never walks in the
daytime but rises at o'clock and
walks several miles before breakfast
She says the cool morning air pre-
pares her for whole day of social
activities.

HER OPINION.

The young novelist had had a hard
time of it, and so had his dear wife.
She held his talents in poor esteem
and often urged him to try something
else, for she was some times hungry,
and all the time ill-clad. But one day
his luck changed. He began to make
morey. And there came day when
he was able to write his cheque for
500 and pass it to his WIFE Her
eyes filled with tears as she read it.
"Willibrand, darling" she said, as she
FASTENED around the table and pat her
arm about his neck, "I'll take back all
the mean things ever said about
your work. This is the best thing you
ever wrotei"
