Pan America and Peace.

When the time comes for peace in
Europe, pan-America will be an i'm

according to John Barrett, director
general of the Pen-American Union,
who spoke on pan American prepared
ness yesterday afternoon.
Telling of the growing Importance in
international affairs of the principal
Latin American countries. Director Bar
rett said
AT this hour. when there is so much
talk Of peace among those in the high
places of authority. when all humanity is
hoping that peace may soon come. and
when, as if to emphasize this attitude,
there is now meeting in Washington the
League to Enforce Peace. there looms up
large the possibility that pan-America. in
the form of the united peaceful nations of
the western hemisphere. may exercise at
the proper time a moral influence and
sympathetic pressure upon the warning
nations of Europe which will help point
the way to the conclusion of the conflict.
or that the American republics, acting as
unit. may lead the neutral nations in
cooperative effort for mediation OF

JOHN BARRETT DISCUSSES
WORLD PEACE PROSPECTS
Thinks Pan-America Likely to Play
Important Part in Bringing
War to End.

Students of the National Service Schooi
at Chevy Chase. Md, today are making
a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon to lay
flowers on the tomb of George Washing
ton They are not being taken in body
neither is it compulsory for them to CO.
but those who want them are given
passes to leave the camp for the trip.
The official pilgrims are scheduled to go
this afternoon, but the time has not been
fixed neither has the committee been
completed Commandant Poe SAID this
morning that she had appointed Mrs
Samuel Murray as chairman of the COM
mittee, and told her to select her assist
ants This committee will carry to the
tomb the wreath presented by Mrs.
George Dewey, the wife of Admiral
Dewey.
In view of the fact that a great many OF
the students at the camp ara from out OF
town, it is proba BILE that the majority OF
them will take advantage Of the leave OF
absence and go to Mount Vernon. There
probably will be few left to take part in
the classes this afternoon, and in antici-
patton of this no lectures have been pro-
vided in the lecture tent.

an extraordinary rate. Where
ever wheat and corn will grow
you can raise beans.
From every point of view there
is wisdom in the old saying about
the man who knows beans. "
Everybody ought to know them
from the consumer whose bone
and tissue, brain and muscle, are
all enriched and improved by a
diet of good old fashioned beans,
to the farmer, who in beans has
an opportunity of raising safe
and heavy crop and of finding a
ready market at top prices.
Of all vegetables, beans come
nearest to taking the place of
meat as a food. No family hay
ing access to a bushel of beans
need have meat on the table

hardly that. Farm Journal.

good will.
On Wednesday of next week,
December goth, the holiday spirit
viii prevail in the pictures. A
special program will be given
which will far excel anything
ever shown in pictures on the Is
land, "The Life of Our Savior, :"
in seven reels, will be given with
musical accompaniment under
the direction of Mrs. Hedrick.
One of the friends of the boys
was so enthused with the idea of
giving such a picture in the holi-
day season that he bought up
more than half of the tickets, so
that every boy and girl under
fifteen could have a free ticket.
Come to the bank for your free
tickets, boys and girls. The
boys have $40 yet to raise on
these pictures, so each adult is
asked TO pay the usual price of
admission, 10 cents,
This is absolutely the greatest
treat the Island has ever had.

ian church on December Goth

Desires Peace and Harmony
Editor Record:

Editor Record:
Dear SIR A meeting was held in w.
o. w. hall at Burton last Monday to
discuss the matter of Incorporation,
the Woodmcn having donated the hall
for that purpose.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr. Parkes. The committee of five APP
pointed at previous meeting consisted
of Rev. Bale ard D. A. Cheney for the
proposition and Mrs Young, g. Swan
son and H. Stanley for the opposition.
Those in favor OF Incorporating had
practically nothing to report, one of
their committeeman stating that he
had written to eleven Incorporated
towns and had only received one reply,
which he was evidently ashamed to
read.
On the other side of the question
numerous letters and data were read
from state officials at Olympia and
county officials showing conclusively
that this move, If carried ont, would
inevitably mean increased taxes and
responsibilities.
Voters of Burton precinct, stop,
think! Who are. the parties pushing
this matter? Are they the representa-
tive taxpayers? Are they the success

State Board Of Health Bulletirl

More attention should be given
to health subjects in our public
school curriculum. At present
physiology is studied by our
children and, so far as it goes, is
TO be commended, but it does not
go far enough. A course in
public health should be added.
Whatever the object of educa-
ton is, this much is sure: 1t is
all lost if the individual loses his
or her health. All training,
technical, professional, manual,
domestic science, or what not,
evidently is for the purpose of
enabling the individual to be able
to provide for himself shelter,
clothing, food and happiness. Of
what avail, however, is this train
ing, this laboriously acquired
education, if the individual is not
in good health?
1t has been carefully estimated
that with the knowledgeweN NOW
HAVE, the average life could be
heightened Is years. Is it not
time to disseminate this know
ledge so that it may be applied,
thereby preventing Unnecessary
suffering and death?

BASKET BALL EDITION

The first game in basket ball
was staged last Thursday The
Y. Nj. G. A. team was beaten by
the school team. Score, 7Sto A..
From the account of the game it
might have been called football
the hurts and bruises of the
team indicated the roughness of
the play.
The boys are aggressive play
ers. There seem to be no es-
pecial stars, which is a great
help for team work. Teamwork
is even more important in basket
ball than running interference is
in football. The fact that Wash
on has teamwork is probably the
reason they trimmed the Y. NJ
C, A.
The lineup for Vashon High
was; Donald Mills and Chas. Glib
son capt., forwards; Gilbert
Ward, center; Ralph Steen and
Paul Thorsen, guards.
Mills is about as light player
as is ever seen on a high school
team. He is a fast little forward,
though, and can shoot baskets
from any reasonable distance.
Gibson and Ward are probably
more reliable on all around play
because of their extra weight.
And don't lose sight OF the
guards, Steen and Thorsen.
Guard is probably themost thank
less job in the game no chance
for sensational plays, but the
toughest place on the team, es-
peclaily IL the opponents are
forcing the play So remember
Ralph and Paul they're the
boys that will give the rest OF
the team the chance to win
games. Charley certainly de
serves lot of credit. He has
gotten together a fast, clean
playing bunch to represent Wash
on High School in basket ball.
