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 colors 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 Iegisla-
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 a.
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.

TROOP v ANSWERS FIRE CALL

On Friday night, June 1, no meeting
was held as nothing important could
be discussed. There were 3S boys
present with one official.
About 7:15 p. m. 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 p.r m, while a group of boys
crowded about Scoutmaster Barry
eager to learn more about first aid.
On Decoration Day the troop re-
ported at their scout house in full
uniform at a. m. and at 1890 a. m.
proceeded in the parade with Senior
Leader Carl Mortensen leading. Four
boys from the troop were detailed 10
aid the parade committee to carry .
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 a 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.

Cold CREAMS ARE splendid when used
IN moderation. The chief trouble is,
that once q 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 q cleansing
agent, for water contains any num-
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 a fatty matter that
mingles with these particles, carrying
them on. But the water tones up the
skin, nourishes It, beauties It.
However, cold cream being merely
a thin mixture Of fats and oils,
mingles with the dirt particles, Is
absorbed by them while It softens
them, and 80 sinks further into the
innumerable pores Of the skin, than
does soap or water. But being q
foreign matter, the skin naturally
throws it 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 hot wash, and should
be rubbed out, and be followed in
turn by an ice rub.

The cor started and was checked al

Gloria, looking about impatiently,
caught sight of Nell Trask and her

She was dumfounded. AS she gazed,
they were lost in the crowd. She saw
that the car could not be turned

Impulse told her not to lose this pre-

Without pausing to inform the chauf-
feur, Gloria opened the door, dropped
out, and ran after the Trasks. She
picked them up again after while.
She saw policeman. She resolved to
order him to arrest the criminal. AS
she hesitated, she saw Trask stop and
tenderly relieve the weary Nell of
her baby's weight. He fondled and
nuzzled the child and laughed with a
grandfatherly foolishness. Gloria
turned away from the policeman.
She followed at little distance,
wondering what to do. The best thing
would be, she felt, to find out where
he lived. She followed for blocks.
The Trasks climbed the stairs OF the
elevated. Gloria went up after them.
