morrow morning TO three OF the lead
ins mo- maids or the world. or the
four greatest feminine swimmers 10
A:nerica, three will come to Honolulu
tomorrow 10 compete in the big Sep
TENDER meet.
The coming of the three daughters
Of Neptune mark an epoch IN lem
mime swimming in Hawaii. With one
exception the meet in September will
be the greatest gathering Of mermaids
in the history of the aquatic sport.
Honolulu will extend q welcome to
Claire Galligan Of New Rochelle, N.
Y; Dorothy Burns Of Los Angeles,
I'D Frances Cowells Of San Francisco,
three American champions.
Three Real stars
Miss Burns and Miss Cowells have
appeared before in Honolulu, and both
carried Off the honors with but little
opposition. Honolulu has longed TO
see this pair In action in one race,
and this viii happen, and better than
that q third entry who has defeated
the two coast mermaids, will also ap-
pear in the various events.
WIT. Rawlins made a big stroke
when he secured these three swim
mers for the meet II was expected
that Miss Galligan would make her
appearance here, but 1t was not
thought that any other feminine stars
from the mainland would be present
to compete against the Eastern girl.
When Rawlins returned from the
mainland, and announced that the two
coast girls would come with Miss Gal
ligan. feminine swimming was given
4 big boost here, and in justice to
the president OF the A. A. u, who
has met with opposition. 1t may be
said that arranging for the feminine
stars was a good piece Of work, and
may mean more for swimming in the
future than one can forsee at the
present time.
Palama Meet Boosts
The recent meet held at Palama Set.

boosted the game among the tair sex

Dorothy Burns and Frances Cowells
are we'll known here, and their COM
ing gives a big boost to swimming.
When Dorothy Burns appeared here
in the last meet, the spectators no.
ticed that she used a pigeon toed kick.
And when her feet fluttered in the
crawl she turned her toes in like

toed effect has been adopted by most
of the great swimmers of the country.
Frances Cowells, who is known by
her friends as "Chappie" Cowells, Is
the leader of the great colony OF
swimmers in San Francisco. She has
captured nearly all the records around
the bay, and in many of the meets
has won several events in one day.
Miss Cowells has made great rec

Baseball War Is Over; Teams
Will Play At MOi|iiIi Field
Battle Which Lasts for Four Months Ends in Amagamaton
0ahuSerVce and Honolulu LeagueS-ProSpectS Bright cD
successful Year in Observation-Disclosures, tst32nd Chinese
Ruger Giants and Pirates to Pay-FSt Game Next Sunday

Peace has been declared. The base
ball war is over and prospects are
bright for a successful series in He
nolulu. Arrangements for a five team
league has been arranged. The teams
will play at Moiliili Field, beginning
Sunday afternoon. Games will also
be played at SchOfield.
This is the biggest piece Of news
that has come from baseball circles
this year. The Oahu-Service League
and the Honolulu League have been
fighting since the beginning OF the
season, and several times there was a
possibility of peace, but certain phases
of the situation could not be settled
satisfactorily and as result nothing
was accomplished.
Five Team League.
At a meeting of the various man
ayers of the two leagues held last
evening II was decided that the Pirates
and japanese would combine and play
under the name of the Pirates, the
Chinese team and Schofield Blues,
which is the 1st-32nd would make up
the third team. Ruger would be the
fourth, and the 25th Infantry, provid-
ing Captain Carr agrees, will make the
fifth team.
1t is thought that with the baseball
war over, the 25th Infantry would
agree to play in a series of games
The league will be known as the Oahu,
Service League and the same officers
Of this league will be retained. Charles
Chillingworth is president; Lieut.. Co,
hen, vice-president; Bert Hushaw
secretary and Ed. Nell treasurer. Billy
Miles is manager of the league.
Pacific League Baseball.
The Pacific League has made ar.
rangements to secure Moiliili Field for
all baseball played at that field; Billy
Miles and Sam Mott, acting as repre-,
sentatives of the league. Miles and
Mott will handle all other athletic
features. Satisfactory arrangements
have been made with the former Homo.
lulu League managers.
. Henry Chillingworth and Lang
Akana, two members of the All.Stars,
have been named as umpires for the
season. Lang was offered an oppor.
tunity to play with the Chinese team,
and his addition would greatly
strengthen the squad, but it is expect.
ed that he will favor taking a position
as umpire Henry Chillingworth is in
bed at present, but is expected to be
around to take his place as official
in the coming series.
Same Prices.
The sense of the meeting was that
all the players should get together
and work for the interest of baseball.

THREE CENT LETTERS
TWO CENT POSTAL CARDS

Detailed instructions to postmas-
tiers on the increased letter mail rates
which becomes effective November 2,
under the war tax bill, are issued by
Postmaster General Burleson. They
do not apply to rates to most for
sign countries which are fixed by in
ternational treaties but they do apply
to all domestic mail and under that
classification is included mail to Can
ada, Mexico, Cuba, Panama, the Uni
ted States postal agency at Shanghi
and all persons in the military service
of the United States in Europe.
The postoffice department issued
these Instructions:
Postmasters shall on and after No
vember 2, see that postage is paid at
rate of three cents an ounce or frac-
ton thereof on letters and other first
class matter, except drop letters. All
drop letters, that is, letters mailed
for delivery from the office at which
posted including these for delivery
by city, rural or any carrier of such
offices are rquired to have postage
paid on them at the rate of two cents
an ounce or fraction thereof.
,Postals cards are required to be pre-
paid two cents and therefore the one
cent postal cards must have a one
cent postage stamp affixed to them
in addition to one cent stamp i'm.
pressed on such cards. Post cards
(privat mailing cards) bearing writ.
ten messages must have two cents
postage prepaid on them.

KIDDIES co TO COUNTRY.

Last Friday afternoon, the l.. T. l..
one hundred strong had its first
meeting at the country home of Mrs.
o. j. Rolo. Cars were at the school
house at four p. m. to take the chill
dren out but there being so many new
members, c. P. Smith, o. J. Rolo and
Miss Gray had to make several extra
trips. 1t seems that never before had
the children enjoyed themselves so
much They clambered over the
barn, twisted the calf's tail, one boy
rode it; chased each other over the
prairie until Mrs. Rolo, assisted by
older L. T. L. girls lined them up for
the mighty nice luncheon. The only
wonder was that she had enbugh.
Think of it, feeding one hundred
ninety-eight. Mrs. Vickers, superin-
tendent and Miss Gray, assistant
made the round hundred. Nothing
but farm could supply the demand
The children were too busy for games
or reorganization. At our next meet
ing, the last Friday afternoon in Oct
ODER, we shall organize into two clas-
SEES. Miss Gray to conduct the older
and Mrs. Vickers the younger men,
bers. Any child from 6 to 16years who
will pay 10 cents and sign the follow
ing pledge can be member. "God
keeping me, l promise not to drink,

to 81 for a nationwide campaign to
complete the enrolment of all the
forces of the United States in con-
servation of the food supplies.
During the week mentioned,
throughout Kansas, as we'll as
throughout all other states Of the
union, every man, woman, and child
will be asked to subscribe his name
in the list of those who will form the
great volunteer army of food con-
servers. AS patriotic duty and
privilege. these men and women and
youth will pledge themselves to adopt,
so far as they can, the practical mea-
sures that will be suggested. In this
way they will become volunteer mem
bers of the United States food admin
istration-an organization which,
when the history of the war is final
ly written, may be found to have
played the decisive part in the great
struggle.
The peope of Kansas have re-
sponded nobly to the call for soldiers
to the appeals for subscription to the
Red Cross and other essential war
time activities, and to call for unpre-
cedented production Of food with
which to feed American soldiers and
our allies. In these great activities,
it has been the pride of the state that
Kansas contains no slackers. In this
special campaign about to be in
augurated-quite as> significant as
any that have gone before-let Kan
sas enroll every citizen in Americas
army of conservation. What we
waste may lose the war. What we
save will win it."

 10 BETTER MILITIA

Little Rock, Feb. IA resolution by Representatives Allen and Moore of Yell memorializing congress to en- act law for more adequate and efficient system of military training
 providing for such system of uni versal training as will interfere least with the educational and business in- terests of the young men of our coun- try" aroused unexpected opposition. Mr. Allen is captain of Go. A of the first Arkansas infantry, and MT. Moore is sergeant of Go. c of the second infantry. Capt. Allen made an appeal for the adoption of the res olution, saying that he had spent several months on the border, and knows the necessity of a more ede- quate system of training for the officers of the national guard. Mr.
 Bell opposed the resolution, assert ing that the people of the country are for peace and are opposed to anything that smacks of enforced military training. The resolution was defeated by vote of 34 to 35.
