Various Types of Beauty.
People often ask me how the
country lines up on the various types
Of chorus beauty.
The southern type usually has
dark hair and dark eyes. She is
very graceful and has that import
ant. indeinable thing-charn or
manner.
What might be described as the
New York type has a great deal Of
assurance and IS less natural than
the western type. The New Yorker
is conscious Of her power to attract
The Californian, for instance. is less
conscious Of this power. With her
free, athletic carriage suggesting
outdoor life. she makes an effective
stage beauty. Blue or gray eyes.
fair or brown hair. are much more
common in the middle west than in
the east.
And lest anyone think that the
stage does not like red-heads, I will
state emphaucally that It does 1t
is a well known fact, Of -ourse, that
most persons with red hair have
more than the average amount Of
personality. Just why, we don't
know, but 1t IS so with chorus girls,
too. 1 have always had several red
heads in shows. and they are al
ways popular.
When you get down 70 the sub
jet OF blondes however. there is a
surprising fact. They seem 70 be
diminishing in numbers If the ranks
OF the show girls. Justine John
stone. who was probably the mosr
talked-of beauty OF the 1915 Follies,
is a striking blonde who has made a
fortune in motion pictures. But girls
OF her type are rare.
This scarcity may be due. Of
course. 10 the fact that artificial
blondes are going out OF cty,e There
is a distinct trend toward natural
ness both on and off the stage to-
day. with a consequent scarcity OF
really beautiful blonde chorus girls
This shortage has sometimes been
very keenly felt-and thereby hangs
a tale:
A certain theatrical producer in
New York was once almost beside
himself 20 find a real blonde chorus
girl OF sufficient beauty 10 stand up
by the side Of the blondes already

Troon 5. Wailuku

The excursion trip on Sunday men,
tioned in last weeks paper has prov
ed to be a successful and an enjoy
able trip to all those who took part.
But instead of going to Waikapu, as
was agreed, the mixers turned to lao
where they became loaded with all
sorts of thrills executed by Pop. There
were only three scouts from troop 3
in this trip, the majority being Ka-
hului scouts.
The group started out at 1890
O'Clock from Wailuku and within an
hours time were on the job in climb
ing the Needle Point. Having taken
a good view of the place from the
point, they began to descend to the
lower lands where they began to learn
something about tracking. S. Take
motto of Troop 8 was the only n who
passed this tracking test. The boys
then started for the Table Land where
they spent a great part OF the time
in taking pictures and enjoying scout
life. 1t began to grow late in the
evening and so the mixers started for
home after spending a most pleasant
day, as they expressed it.
The troops meeting Monday night,
as usual, was well attended. After
running owe a few minutes in re-
porting good turns, the troop voted on
three new candidates and admitted
two to membership. A spelling match

TROOP DoINGS
~SpreckeIsviIle No :

Wen of all the big doings ever held
in Spreckelsville, last night at the
scout house was the limit. After the
regular meeting the scouts had an in.
door field meet and the antics of the
boys was beyond description. In the
whistling contest they thought that it
would be a cinch, but when the COM
missioner handed each boy a cracker
and told them to eat teh cracker and
then whistle the looks on their faces
were a sight to behold. They whistied
alright, but oh my, what weak whistles
The candy rae was a scream, but at
chewing the string they were certain.
~ past masters, evidently they are
pretty good at chewing the rag iudg-
Ing from the results.
Spreckelsville will be Il real troop
after this meeting, as all boys have
filed their application blanks and paid
their dues. Good work boys.

Training School in Scoutcraft

The School of Scoutcraft opened up
under very favorable auspices on Mon
day night at the Alexander Kinder
garten building at 7:45 p. M, with
seventeen men present.
The opening address by c. S. Childs,
executive secretary of the Maui Coun-
ell touched on the real live side of boy
life and the great part hat the scout
movement is going TO have in mould
ing the character of the Men of Tomor
row.
Commissioner Hutton gave a short
talk on the purpose of the scoutcraft
course and the great amount of pleas
ure and profit it would be possible to
get out Of it.
c. J.. BOwker, deputy commissioned
Of Lahaina then took charge of the
meeting and put the class through a
very fine opening ceremony which is
being adopted as the official manner
Of conducting scout meetings.
The class then went into the study
of the tenderfoot requirements, after
which Mr.. Bowker took charge of the
class in the closing ceremonies.
The following attended the first
class meeting:
c. l.. Bowker, Y. X. zee, Frank
Nunes, C. Rose, f. Crockett, e. II.
Jones, w. X Watkins, w. S. Kan, S.
Mukai, w. II. Douglas, j. M. Eddy, w.
c. Crider, a. T. Costa, G. S. Childs,
Geo. II. DeKay.
The next meeting will see a much
larger attendance and from hat time
on the real live doings of scoutcraft
will appeal to all who attend. Remem-
Der this class is not confined to scout
masters, but all who are interested in
the great out doors will find valuable
instruction and also learn to be a rael
boy again.
Judge l.. l.. Burr will have full
charge of the meeting OF Tuesday,
March 28th, and will give practical
instruction in modifying, splicing of
all kinds, blocks an dtackle, etc. The
judge is a past master in this line OF
work, and any man who is in bust
enss that requqires the handling OF
ropes, blocks, etc, can ont afford to
miss this meeting. Pass the word
along to your friends.

PuukoIii No. 10

The pop corn feed was a big success
but we are afraid that the plantation
company will wonder why 50 much
water was consumed at the school
during the week past. Pop corn is
good but when it is sprinkled with a
goodly amoun of salt, well water is
pretty good.
One of the scouts remarked, say,
look at Pop popping the popcorn in
the pop corn pepper" 1t was good
anyhow.
Real scouting is a good thing to
see, and l am sur if some of the city
scouts could see these fellows hik-
ing five miles to and from a scout
meeting, when they kick if they have
TO ride a mile or two on the cars to
get to a meeting, they would be
ashamed OF themselves. This is what
the Puukolii scouts are doing every
week.
This is the real scout stuff, and |
am sure Puukolii will make a show
ing that will put the others in the
shade.

kahuIui ON the Hike

Sunday morning eleven members of
Troop No. s turned out for a hike to
lao Valley, they were invited to take
the hike with Troop No. 8 of Wal
luku, but as only three of the Wal,
luku scouts showed up it vas in real
ity a Kahului party.
After hiking to the Needle the
scouts stopped for a short time to eat
lunch. AS soon as lunch was eaten
the scouts hiked to the upper end of
the Table Lands and then went
through some scout stunts. On the
way home the Waikiki scouts tried
for the tracking test but Takemoto
was the only n to pass.

Hama District

The date of the commissioners trip
to Hama will be settled by the end OF
this week. A party is being made up
to so over through the crater if that
fails through (the trip, not the crater)
the commissioner will make the trip
by steamer. Big times are expected
during the commissioners stay in the
lana District, and it is hoped that a
great many will become interested in
he movement and a strong showing
made.

in signalling was called for in which
the troop, as a whole, proved to be
quite speedy in both receiving and
sending messages. Four of the boys
did very well in this, and held their
post until the match had to be called
off on account of the lateness of time.
The meeting was rounded up by prac-
ticing the scout pace on the Waika-
pu stretch-this may seem to be quite
unusual to some one to have in the
night, but nevertheless, every boy
went through it successfully and many
Of them made it within the required
time.
The following names are added to

MakaWao No, 6

1t is a great sight to see the scouts
of Makawao as they leave the meet
of Puukolii as they leave the meet
ings at night. When it comes to
bronco busters" well they are some
breakers believe me. The trained
mule of one of the scouts is sure some
runner. Last meeting was given over
mostly to Uniform Work" You no
doubt wonder what hat means, well,
its easy to explain. This was the
night the scout uniforms arrived and
there was some excitement in trying
on, taking off, swapping etc, but final
ly all were Strengthened out satisfact-
orily and the regular meeting went on
evenly. Wait until the Makawao
scouts blossom out in full uniform
they will make a great hit.

Paia girls for forming the fourteenth
troop-we were 10 in number for sew

entitled to a gold badge and the girl
who attends 80 percent of the meet

Second Class Tests

Second Class Tests
Well here we are again on the
subject of second class tests and we
sure mean business. All scoutmast-
crs should see to it that their scouts
are going right ahead. There is
nothing so d~iscouraging to a scout as
to have to stop his test passing. We
are having a hard time in getting
enough scout hand books to go round,
hut there is no need to stop on that
account as the following tests can be
passed in the mean time.
No. l n months service; No. 2,
elementary first aid; No. 8, element
AIRY signalling; No. 4, tracking half
nile. (Get in touch with the COM
missioner for this test at once if you
are ready for it, No. 5, scout pace:
No. 6. use of knife and Ratchet (head-
quarters will get u the rules for this
test or the mimeograph at once.) No.
Z, fire building; No. s. cooking; No.
3, thrift. Its up to you. Every week
that goes by without a number of
tests being passed is lost.

DR.. BARTON'S
DAILY LETTER
CONE OF THEM"
BY DR.. William E. Barton.

CONSIDERED as a cold, business
proposition, it is difficult to
justify the Good Shepherd who left
his ninety and nine sheep in the
wilderness and went after the one
that was lost. Of course he did not
leave the ninety and nine wholly un-
protected; he left them in care of (,
boy, or an under-shepherd. But he
took risk, and he knew it.
Frankly, the one lost sheep was
not worth the effort. 1t would have
been more business-like to have
written off the book value of that
sheep, with whatever satisfaction a
man may feel in the knowledge that
his loss is only l percent.
Helen Keller has cost the world
more than any average woman is
worth. AS a business proposition it
was an unjustifiable waste to spend
perhaps $4,000 on one child who
could neither see nor hear, and who
could never by any possibility be
helped to do so.
But Helen Keller was worth the
money. The labor spent upon her
created a soul in a dark, imprisoned
human life, and gave to that soul
sight which the eyes could never pos
sess and caused it to hear music
which her ears could never hear.
The lost sheep has a value beyond
the market price of his hide and
wool and mutton.
A little child falls sick, and the
family purse is emptied in an effort
to save the little life. 1t is not a
matter of letting this one die, before
there is spent on him all his own and
most of his brothers inheritance. Ii
a man have a houseful of children,
and one of them be in need, the
whole household gives beyond all
stint.
That is because every single hui
man life has value beyond all com

limiting the amount which love car
