Gibraltar and the cruise through the
Mediterranean.
From Monaco, at which port the
steamship arrived on April s, the
round the-world tourists paid visits to
Monte Carlo and the Riviera and took
in the famous Corniche drive. Today
many of the Canadians are visiting
cairo and the pyramids and will re-
Join the ship at Suez. The new steam
ship is being inspected by hundreds of

SAYS @PREvENT THE FLY"

The "open season" for the house
fly is approaching, and DIR. Pratt,
president of the borad of health today
has issued an admonition to house
holders. He urges them to prevent
the fly.
81 am sure the slogan prevent the
fly is better than swat the fly" he
says, "and now is the time to act.
Clean up those dirty back yards. Have
an outdoor spring house-cleaning. 1t
will not only prevent the fly. but will
prevent much sickness later in the
season"

STEVENS0N'S YACHT
CASC0 NOW DOOMED
FOR FISHING TRADE

The famous schooner yacht Casco,
upon which Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote many of his tales of the South
Seas, is soon to be used in the fish
trade. says the San Francisco EX-
aminer
After being laid up in the Vancou-
yer ship graveyards for many years
the craft was purchased and has been
oyerhauled until she is again IN good
condition
Many of the admirers Of the late
writer are indignant that the SPLEEN
did vessel is to become a trading ship,
but as nobody has come forwerd with
the purchase price of $500 it is be-
lieved that the fish business will be
the finish of the Casco.
1t is probable that many of the old
time residents of Honolulu will join
with the admirers of the late writer
in Indignation over the passing of the
picturesque old yacht into commercial
work The Casco is well remembered
by many residents of the territory, in
whose hearts there will ever be a
warm spot for the eongenial author
who spent many pleasant days bask-
ing in the sunshine of the Gross
roads" both on board the Casco and
on the islands.

The Luddite War

! The Luddite war. so-called from the
fact that II was begun by a weak
minded fellow named Ned Ind. met its
/ Waterloo one hundred and one years
ago. Jan. %, isl2st
Ned Lud and Napoleon Bonaparte,
though separated by the whole DIAM
eter OF things intellectual, the one be-
ing almost an idiot. and the other r
mental colossus. were both engaged
on a fools errand-Lud In attempting
| 10 stop the progress or mechanical
science. and Napoleon In fight
ing against the forward march OF mod
crn democracy. Ned met his fate rs
above mentioned. and three years later
Napoleon met his.
Ned was one of the original stand
patters" he had no use for "pro-
gressiyes" OF any sort. The old
guard and the "old ways" were good
enough for him. Consequently. when
certain rattle-brained insurgents came
to Nottingham With their machines for
spinning and weaving cotton, Ned
raised the war whoop and began
smashing them.
Ned's idiocy instantly became con-
tagious. and soon all over the sur
rounding region the spinners and
weavers were breaking up and burn.
ing frames and machinery.
From Nottingham the disturbance
spread all over Yorkshire and Lanca-
shire, and soon involved all the north-
ern and midland counties OF England.
Machines were destroyed wherever
found. Manufactures were burned
down and in the rioting many people
we're killed.
The Luddites had become a power
to be reckoned with a menace that II
would not do to ignore. Parliament
was aroused. the cabinet was forced
TO postpohe its high and mighty medi-
atoms long enough 10 listen TO the
story OF the Luddite menace. and lords
and commons, suddenly getting their
heads together. began grinding out the
severest OF repressive legislation. 1t
may be interesting to note, in passing.
that 1t was in connection with this
legislation that Lord Byron delivered
his first speech In the house OK lords.
But while the noble lords were busy
making laws against the Luddites, the
destruction of machinery went on, and
the fanatical business was finally put
down only by military force. Gen
eral" Lud and several OF his right hand
men were executed, and the opposition
to machinery became in England a
thing OF the past.
BY and by prosperity revived and
those who had lost their jobs by the
coming In OF .the machines found
something to do in other lines.-Rev.

Charles IT," one Of his successful
comedies, and katherine and Pc

In 1912 Payne was appointed consul

1851. He died there in 1853. Until 1885:

When Incomes Are Taxed

Theoretically every citizen oVsht

Not SO in fact. Let's be candid
Aren't we all inclined to be lazy in
our citizenship; 10 shirk our re-
sponsibilities; to let some other fell
low save the country while we have
good time or try desperately to get
rich?
One thing that has helped to bring
about this attitude has been indirect
taxation. The money needed to run
most OF the government has been tax

millions up or down haven't seemed
to matter.

Democracy UNdey the Test

II Is deemed strange in some quar-
tiers that differences Of opinion have
appeared among Democrats at Wash
ington, charged with the drafting OF
new tariff law. The interesting
fact Is not that there have been dis.
agreements, but that In most cases
friendly counsel has brought their adj
justment. -----
These men are engaged upon no or
dinary Legislative project. They are
to rewrite the tax laws OF i00, zoe, 900
people. They are face to face with a
corrupt system which has become q
part of a nations political, CONNER
cial and industrial life. They are sur
rounded on all sides by the greedy
and the timid. They have to deal
with old. errors and prejudices. In
some cases, no doubt. they must meet
cowardice and perfidy in their own
party household.
Many considerations that are sec
tionally and personally selfish have
presented themselves, but It Is no
ticeable that the vital principle In
volved has not been lost to sight. The
monop0listic burdens that have been
placed upon the peoples food and
clothing are to be lifted. The devices
which by perversion of law have en-
riched the few at the expense OF the
many are to be ended. The favor
and privilege behind which the trusts
are buttressed are TO be removed.
Revenues are to be raised for public
and not for private purposes.

RiDaLs Her Daughter
in Youthful Beauty
1From Social Registerl

A well known society matron whose
youthful beauty is so well preserved
that she is regarded as her daughters
rival in this respect-though she does
not pose as such-attributes her girl
ish complexion chiefly TO two things.
She says:
II am convinced that creams. by
overlooking the skin and pores. tend
to age the complexion. Mercolized
wax has just the opposite effect. II
keeps the pores clean, permitting
them to breathe, and removes dead
particles of cuticle which are con-
stantly appearing and which give the
complexion that faded look When
ever my skin begins to get the least
bit off color I go TO my druggists for
an ounce of mercolized wax I apply
this nightly, like cold cream, for
week or so, washing 1t off mornings.
This is what keeps my complexion so
fresh, white and velvety.
The absence of wrinkles and fab
biness | owe to the use of a simple
face bath prepared by dissolving one
ounce OF powdered saxolite in a half
pint witch hazel. This keeps the skin
tight and firm.
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-24

takes but a little patience and
ingenuity. and once you begin TO
study what pretty effects you
can get with a line here and a
shadow there you will never be
guilty of. an ugly line of ar
rangcment of jewels.
Notice the strap of pearls that
| wear under my chin You can
get the same softening effect
with bit OF pink and white
maline. If high collars have
made an ugly line at your throat,
will not this dainty strap be
blessing'
My long string of pearls gives
the ..V" line that is so kind to
the plump face and the short
neck. A bit of ribbon and a
pretty little locket will produce
the same long line from neck to
throat.
In the same way the long w
at the back of my dress gives
chance to show the long line
from the nape of the neck to the
back.
The fluffy feather finish across
my shoulders is very softening
and becoming.
Out of such 1lmy mass
long white throat and curved
shoulders rise most effectively.
If feathers are beyond your
pocketbook, tulle will again
prove the friend in need.
A little study of line, little
patience in doing away with
holIows or surplus fat and care
to whiten the skin are the first
steps toward acquiring the
beauty of perfect arms and
shoulders.

good arrangement of ornament
