FOURTH WARD TO HAVE
MODEL ROAD.

The residents of. the Fourth
Ward Of Iberia Parish on Tues
day last gave their sanction to
the building Of model gravel
road which will lead from Loreau
Vile to the intersection Of the
Third Ward and as soon as the
bonds are disposed Of, work will
begin on this important civic I'M
provement which will mean so
much to the people of that pro-
gressive section. 1t is true the
tax for the 100000 road inn
provement was carried by only
one vote, there being forty-four
votes in favor and forty-three
against. In property valuation,
the tabulation as recorded by the
Road Supervisors showed Az, !eu
against and $61, $50 in favor OF
the proposition. From what we
learn most Of the reasons Far op-
posing the tax on the part Of the
opponents was because the prop
erty holders commended a better
system of drainage was more
important at this time.
The Enterprise was informed
on Wednesday that efforts will
soon be made by the taxpayers
Of the Third Ward which adjoins
the Fourth to levy q similar tax
to bring the road up to the Sixth
Ward, the outlying district "a
New liberia. In that event we
feel certain the residents Of the
Sixth Ward who are also inter.
ested in good model gravel roads
will do their part towards carry.

people the advantage Of an ele-

NO FLAGS FOR
SCHOOLS BECAUSE
SOLONS FORGOT

Because the recent legislature failed
to appropriate money for school flags,
the schools of the territory will have
to depend upon the generosity Of their
respective counties or school boards II
the national celors are to fly over the
school houses during the next two
years, according TO a letter received
yesterday by the county clerk
from H. w. Kinney, superintendent Of
public instruction. in which he quotes
the following letter from Charles r.
Forbes, superintendent Of public
works:
Heretofore the department of pub
lie works has purchased and furnished
flags for the different schools through.
out the territory. The last legisla-
ture, however, neglected to make any
appropriation for the purchase Of
these flags.
Presumably the respective coun-
ties or school boards will now have to
furnish flags from whatever appro-
priations they may have"
Kinney then goes on to say that as
his department has no appropriation
for the purchase it will be necessary
to ask the board to provide the funds
for the purchase of flags.

LOCAL WORKERS
CALLED ON FOR
RED CROSS AID

The slaughter that has character
lied the fighting In France in the past
weeks has brought a direct call upon
local Red Cross workers for more
supplies.
This was stated Yesterday at hea +
quarters OF the Hawaiisn Allied Relief
Association by women in charge OF
activities there The need for more
supplies has been met and yesterday
instead Of the usual two cases which
went out as the result OF the week
work, four cases were sent away.
These comprised surgical DRESSINGS
and one case OF garments. all OF which
will 60 to the New York clearing
house, where proper distribution will
be made.
The garments in one alone number
250. and there are 5000 TO 1000 BAN
dages and congresses in each OF the
others.
Miss Beatrice Castle, chairman OF
the Hawaiian committee, estimated
yesterday that there are no less
than 300 women actively engaged in
this work on Oahu alone, and many
more on the other islands. Separate
units from the outside district are
being formed continually, and these
are fully instructed in the art Of
bandage and garmcnt-making as soon
as organized.
From these units supplies come to
the Honolulu office, where they are
sorted and packed again in uniform
cases for shipment
Twenty-Five women were busy on
Wednesday at headquarters, cutting,
sewing and packing the supplies. No.
a square inch of cloth Is wasted. as is
evident from the fact that the small
est scraps are carefully sorted and
packed in their proper sizes and col ,
ors. These go to make pillows which
will rest broken limbs in the war
hos pitfalls.

On Friday night, June l, no meeting
was held as nothing important could
be discussed. There were SO boys
present with ono official.
About 1918 p. m. a fire started in
the Kakaako district and the troop
Immediately responded to the call, but
the fire department was much prompt,
er and the boys assistance was not
needed. All returned without having
done anything but were satisfied that
they were prepared to be on sucn
emergencies.
After returning from the fire SONS
of the boys began to play baseball
until S:45 ,. M. while group Of boys
crowded about Scoutmaster Barry
eager to learn more about first aid.

large American flag which preceded
the troop. Earl Vida kept a steady
beat Of the drum until we reached the
cemetary gate where the boys were
dismissed for the rest of the day.
During the parade the commands of
open ranks" and CLOSE ranks" were
given by Scoutmaster Barry and it
was a fine formation viewed at GER
tain distance. Our troop mascot, Nor.
gan, marched all the way with the
troop and never felt tired.
Our next meeting will be held on
Friday night as usual and all boys
are requested to report, as important
subjects will be taken up.

MAY BUSY MONTH AT
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL

DR.. r. G. Aver, emergency hospital
physician, who recently returned from
a vacation to the Pacific coast, which
turned out a sick leave, is entirely re-
covered and is now on duty at the
police station. SHe has completed the
monthly report OF hospital activities
in May.
The doctor has not given up hope Of
a larger and better emergency hos.
pital in the near future and says that
II the proposed additions help the city
in proportion to the good work the
present quarters have already done,
the money viii be web spent.
For a bigger hospital the doctor
wants a much needed receiving room
and a woman's ward Of four cots, also
one Of eight cots for the males. The
present one has only four, and the
receiving room is the operating room.
Last month 80 persons received
medical and 142 surgical treatment,
with a total number treated of '172,
not counting inmates. Total treat
ments were 2S5. The ambulance had
10 calls of which ~ were emergency.
Six autopsies were performed and IL
persons investigated for insanity.
Five of these were committed.

COLD CREAMS ARE splendid when used
in moderation. The chief trouble Is,
that once a woman sees how much
she can improve her skin by an occa-
Sional use of them. she overdoes the
habit, and either makes her skin too
oily, or gets the reputation Of con-
stantly doctoring up her looks.
Cold creams should never be used
In place Of water as a cleansing
agent, for water contains any mum.
Der of minerals that nourish and
beautify the skin. Soap, Of course.
contains potash to dissolve the
grease particles-which is the dirt
in the pores-and q fatty matter that
mingles with these particles, carrying
them OF. But the water tones up the
skin, nourishes 1t, beauties 1t.
However, cold cream being merely
q thin mixture Of fats and oils,
mingles with the dirt particles, Is
absorbed by them while 1t softens
them, and so sinks further into the
innurnerable pores Of the skin, than
does soap or water. But being q
foreign matter, the skin naturally
throws 1t of again, merely wiping a
towel across the face takes OF most
Of the cream that has penetrated, and
with it an amazing amount Of CRIME
and dirt.
When the skin is rough, dry or
chapped, water Is often harmful.
Cold cream here is the best substi-
tute. Indeed, the only way to keep
thoroughly clean on a train journey,
is to rub the face and neck with
cream.
But ordinarily, cold cream should
be used only twice a week. Then it
should follow a hot wash, and should
be rubbed out, and be followed in
turn by an ice rub.

USE BREAD TO
CLEAN WALL PAPER

LONDON, England.-Food econom.
lists have been shocked to discover
that many people are using bread to
clean their wall paper. In fact the
practise is said to be more general
now than in pre-war days, when there
were plenty of paper hangers. Three
or four stale leaves will clean the
paper in a drawing-room and make it
look like new.
