GIRLS
HOME TO open

q e. =.
Hale Lanakila, the new home for
working girls which has just been
completed at the foot of Robello lane,
will be opened for the first time next
Sunday afternoon when the trustees
of the institution will receive visitors
between the hours of A and o'clock.
The new home consists of 4 main
building of two stories and two wings
which enclose large courtyard. The
plans for the building were donated to
the committee in charge by Architect
Ripley. The ground floor of the main
building contains the dining room,
parlor, kitchens and pantries, and is
surrounded by wide lanai. In the
wings are located the bedrooms, which
are all well-ventilated and lighted.
Many of the rooms contain two beds
in order that two girls may. occupy
one room if they so desire. The rent
for these double rooms will be three
dollars per month. The other rooms,
which contain but one bed, will rent
at four dollars. Privileges such as
the laundry and the use of the electric
iron, go with the room-rent. Both the
dining-room and the kitchen have
been furnished along lines strictly
modern. $780,

After BLONDE EsEIAOs

The departure of Capt NiIhjalmar Stefans-
son for the Arctic is awakening the keenest of
interest in the minds of ethnologists and stu
dents of race-characteristics because of his dis
-coyery on previous trip Of "blonde Eskimos'
on Coronation gulf As announced from San
Francisco yesterday, Stefanssou is sailing in the
Karlnk for a three years stay in the Arctic.
When he came down from the frozen zone year
the announcement of his sensational discovery
has made his name now household word
stefansson's assertions, were readil y,aeeepted
by the scientific world because. they bore out OBJ
servations reported from FINE to time for the
last $50 years A Dutch seafarer $50 years.ago
Inscribed race Of white Eskimos on Coronation
gulf Stefansson claimed to have found several
persons with sandy boards and light eyebrows
and about dozen with blue eyes out of pop
ulation of approximately 1000. The explorer
declares that their skulls are strikingly differ
ent from those of the Alaskan Eskimos and SO
Tar as he knows from those of any pure blooded
Eskimos so far discovered. He concludes that
the Morse colony in Greenland founded some
time in the dim past, was never entirely exter-
minated by the Eskimos, but that many. escaped
and mingled with the Eskimos, the descendants
now living in. Victoria Land and constituting the
blonde race inhabiting that forbidding region
It is also interesting to note that Franklin's
expedition Il 1924 SAN svias4csso this same
hybrid race
Stefansson's present trip will doubtless re
suit in clearing up something Of the mystery that
now surrounds this Europesh kelracel far up in
the Arctic circle, and his return will be watched
Tor with almost as much interest as if he were
hunting for Pole that was still unreached.

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE

Opposition TO the w0rkmen's compensation
act as voiced yesterday by attorneys appearing
before the senate judiciary committee seemed to
be based not so much on the principle as upon
the details of Senator ANifts,s measure. Never
theless, the opposing attorneys take an attitude
Which in effect is against theprincple of the bill
for Hawaii at this times .k 81
AS to the arguments presented, quite nature
ally they are from the standpoint of the big en-
ployer and the senate committee doubtless real
ICES this fact 1t is too bad that some able cham
pion of workmen's compensation act was not
there to present the many good arguments for
its passage by this legislature However, the
judiciary committee is composed Of men of intel
lfFence and backbone and the Star Bulletin has
faith in their progressiveness, and, believes they
will favor the passage of rthe~bill without too
much emasculatiOn
The main arguments pfese4ted will hardly
stand the test of examination. It is urged that
Hawaii is not ready for such an act now This
is the stock argument of the opponents of pro-
gressiye legislation eyerywhere,-the argument
presented before every legislature that has taken
No the compensation act. And the only answer,
the effective answer, is that Hawaii is as ready
now as Hawaii will be two years or four years
hence For the only way to make progress is to
take the step forward. Hawaii will never be
ready for such an act until Hawaii gets ready,
and getting ready means passing the law and
nntfing it to the test Otherwise how in the
home of common sense is Hawaii to get ready?
The argument that commission should be
aupointed to study the question thoroughly for
two wears or so and then make a report has the
outward semblance of merit, but it looks too
,ouch like move to delay real action to meet
fsvor with the people. Moreover, there is avail

MASSMEFTING ON
CIT Y PLANS
tonight

The plans for securing for the city
OF Honolulu true municipal gov
eminent" independent OF the terri
tory, which have been formulated by
the committee which was appointed
ty the Palama improvement Club
some weeks ago to have charge of
the matter, will be presented to the
Tublic for the first time at mass
meeting which is to be held at Aal'
Park this evening beginning at Z
o'clock. The Hawaiian band will be
In attendance and Chief Justice Rob-
ertson will be the principal speaker OF
the evening. Former Governor Geo.
r. Carter will preside. ...... -. .
More than month ago, the Palama
Improvement Club, with the help of
several other similar organizations.
started campaign for the cleaning
up of the segregated portion OF the
city. opening new streets, and provid-
ing in a general way for better light
and new sewer system. Nothing
ever came of this attempt, and after
several conferences witl tn board Of
health, it was decided that these eff
forts on the part of Ghe club would
never bring results while the city was
Iun under the present government. A
true municipal government was de-
cided as being the only possible 70
CINE under which the necessary i'm
could be obtained.
Therefore, the club appointed a
committee consisting of Mayor Fern.
John C. Lane, Lorrin Andrews. Noah
Aluli and several others to draw up
plans, whereby the legislature would
be asked to give the city of Honolulu
a municipal government entirely in
dependent of the territory. This COM
mittee has now completed its work,
and its findings will be presented to
the people of the city at massmee'-
ing to be held at Aala Park at
clock this evening. Here the petit,
ton will be presented to the people
for thir approval, and in case this is
not forthcoming, another will be
drawn up and presented, and so ON
until one is made which will be favor
ably received. The gist of the petit.
ton is that the people. at general
election. be privileged to appoint fif-
teen freeholdsrs for the purpose of
drafting any new municipal .chartr
which would, perhaps. in time become
law. The idea Of the petition. how
ever, Is more or less a plan to GEN.
tralize the government powers of
Honolulu. The plans also provide for

diately turn oyerfto the. city the water
