 This work is but just begun. Much more remains to be done. In this equalization lies the possibility of a low tax rate In the future. The equalization that has been accom- pli he'd made possible the low tax rate this year.
 But. saving only that a much lar ger sum is to be raised in any year than is to be used ordinarily in that year, the mayors hobby, a uniform tax rate, seems highly impossible.
 Tie grand list is an elastic affair. The expenses of a city are also elas tic. The demands are not uniform. A uniform tax rate and a pay-as you-go- policy are not consistent. The attempt to establish such rate would merely be another step towar the bonding that is so much desired by the owners of public services. Or is the uniform tax rate the mayors hobby?

Another white slavery agitation has arrived and passed on its road to forgetfulness. With every important arrest for a crime committed in the white slave district these agitations come into being, run their violent course and fade away.

 It is all beautifully hypocritical; all satisfactory to politicians of the type it all proves that when everything is said and done nobody official, or un- official, dares serve notice upon the landlords who rent the tenements which are the haunts of the white slavery.

Miss Margaret Chrisiy Topper, who
will have charge of the physical work
of the Y. w. C. A., arrived yesterday
on the Honolulan and will begin her
duties at once. Miss Upper comes
here we'll recommended and prepared
for her work and has already outlined
her plans for the fall and winter
work. She is graduate of: Tufts Coll
lege and has had special course in
physical training at DR.. Sargents
school. She has also had experience
in teaching, having had the physical
culture department in conjunction
with physiology in high school work.
Miss Topper expects to spend the
remainder of the month in organizing
classes and will begin u the regular
work on October 1. She will teach
Swedish gymnastics, calisthenics,

NIlIN III HIHt
BREAKS RECORD

The registration at Punahou this
year in both the college and the pre-
paratory school was large. The final
figures for the first days enrolment
at both schools nave just been made
up. Two hundred and three register
ed at the college. Tne figures have
lowered around 200 for the last two
or three years, but it is believed at
the college that this is the biggest
first days number on record. AS
there are only 209 seats in the as
sembIy hall, there is every prospect
of a full mouse wnen the late arrivals
come struggling in ..>
The first day at the preparatory
school saw 40s enrolled. AS compared
with 367 in 1911, aid 336 in 1910, this
shows an increase which is accounted
for only in part by the new building
and additional teachers. .... ~.
- The music department shows also
large enrolment. Miss Clarke, Miss
Caldwell and Mrs Ewing, in the piano
department, have been busy straight
lening out schedules for the numerous
pupils. Miss Collais, who took some
{ special courses in voice this summer

PERSONAL APPEARANCE
SECRET OF ATTRACTION

ARRANGEMENT of young girls hair only
enhances the beauty and neatness Of
her appearances.
Not the least important item in a
girls makeup are her shoes and
stockings II probably is through
neglect and carelessness that girl
will leave home in the morning with.
out having carefully polished her
boots. One young girl who was ex-
tremely particular about her foot
wear used to carry in her book
gatchel small piece of flannel with
which she rubbed the dust from her
shoes after reaching the school
house. Girls who are blessed with
small feet often think they need not
be SO particular. But 1t Is just as
necessary for them to wear neat, we'll
polished shoes as for those who wear
a larger size. Heels that are run
down, too, denote carelessness, for
they can always be Strengthened In a
short time and at q small expense.
Another of the details concerning
ones shoes that is often omitted is
the button. The absence of just one
button at the very bottom Of the
shoe sometimes does not cause the
wearer any discomfort mentally or
physically but 1t often causes com
menf on the part Of the observer.
Now as to stockings: Ladders
are bound to make. their appearance
in ones hosiery, but II attention Is
given to them when they are first
noticed--well. stitch In time saves
nine. " Stockings often wear most
quickly al the heel This is caused
by the rubbing Of the shoe that is a
size too large, and may be easily
avoided IL a piece of velvet Is facten-
ed at the heel Of the shoe. So many
OF the girls are careless about mend
ing the first tiny hole that appears
but unless 1t is darned Immediately
its size will soon increase to the ex-
tent that it will show above the low
tie.
In this tropical climate the school
girl seldom wears high collar. But

K. P.,S TO DISCUSS
MERGER OF LODGES

For the purpose Of discussing the
proposed anialgamation of Oahu, Mys-
tic and William Mckinley Lodges, the
three local Pythian lodges will hold
8 joint meeting at their hall on upper
Fort street this evening.
The purpose of this proposed ANAL
gamation is to give the members OF
the three lodges now under exist
ence better opportunity of enter.
tainment without adding to the ex.
pense necessary to carry on the lodge
work. All three of the lodges are In
a flourishing condition at the pres
ent time, and the proposed union
will make the, new Pythian lodge one
of the strongest organizations of Its
kind In the Territory. =

From the beginning Of time the girl
who is neat about her person has at
tracted the attention and admiration
of her associates. Some are born
neat others have ito be trained To-
wards neatness. When girl Is little
the mother usually looks after the
combing OF her hair, ETC., and the lit
tie one gives no thought to such
things herself But from the age OF
twelve TO the time she reaches young
womanhood a girl Is often apt TO be
careless, and unless great care Is CIV
en- to her training she Is likely to
grow slovenly.
One OF the most important OF the
many little things that girl should
be particular about Is the care OF her
hands and finger nails. Everyone can
not AFFORD manicure but ten minis
utes a day spent with ones hands
will produce wonderful results. The
nails should never be allowed to grow
too Slong and should always be Kept
even and absolutely clean. What may
be called untidy hands will often ruin
the whole effect Of an otherwise well
groomed girl. II the hands are tanned
a little lemon juice rubbed on at night
will produce q whitening effect
One OF the remarks SO often made
in regard to the. Young girl Is that
she would be nice looking if only her
teeth were kept In good condition.
One OF thu surest and most reliable
proofs ofk-a refined personality Is
cleanliness about ones person, and
surely the keeping Of peaTly White
teeth Is important Many tootA
pastes are hard on the teeth because
of their texture. A reliable paste or
powder can be found, however, and
may be used once day. When
washing the teeth after meals though,
II is wiser to use clear water. Some
use powdered pumice about once 9
month: this removes the tarter, that
. e bound to form on ones teeth.
Soft silky tresses too, are admired
by everyone. The care OF the hair is
sometimes tedious but the results are
iustifable. One Of the first steps to.
wards lovely hair Is brushing. II Is
well when brushing the hair TO divide
II into two parts, The most system.
attic way is to. count the strokes.
Fifty for each side Is quite sufficient
though more will do the hair no harm,
Many complain that brushing only
brings the oil to the surface. this is
true. but as certain amount will
produce the oil, 50 many more strokes
will remove II from the hail.
Ever since the young girls nave
taken to growing up ct fourteen and
fifteen they have taken steps towards
