moved from their bungalow on Second
street to the residence on Third that
was recently vacated by Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Beamer. A. j. Copeland and

dence.
Mrs. j. H. Siegfried entertained a
few friends last evening with a bridge
party, in honor of her sister, Mrs. L.
X. Cramb, of Yakima. The time
honored cherry tree, in company with
the little hatchet, was uniquely used
in the decorations and called for many
compliments. Card honors went to
Mrs. l.. E. johnson and Mrs. j. v.
Strange.
Mrs. C. Staser was the honor guest
Saturday afternoon at beautiful three
course luncheon given at her home by
the members of the Horticulture club
in honor of her birthday. The color

"Send over some corn cob pipes"
This is the message which Dutch
Staley has sent from France to some
of his Kennewick friends. Those who
know Dutch know that he really
means what he writes. Evidently the
Missouri merchaum hasn't followed the
Missouri mule across the waters and
it may be that supply of corn cob
pipes would be mighty acceptable
to a lot of the boys.
Little Florence Duncan entertained
a few of her classmates and her teach
er Tuesday after school at her home
on Beach street, in honor of her tenth
birthday. A delicious three-course
luncheon was served by the little girls
mother, the chief feature of which was
the big birthday cake with tiny candles
and the pretty Red Cross emblem in
the center, as this was a Red Cross
birthday party, Florence having asked
her guests not to bring presents, but
to bring some silver for the little Bel
gian baby she is sewing for. Quite
a neat sum was given that will be
spent for the little garments.

TURKISH ~JUsTIcE."
Curious Case Of Man Who Was Gull.
ty Of Having q Daughter.

Curious Case Of Man Who Was Gull.
ty Of Having q Daughter.
DR.. Clarke, a famous traveller Of
about a century ago. tells of the fol-
lowing remarkable case, which was
tried at the Greek island of Cos: A
young man desperately in love with a
girl of Stanchio eagerly sought to mar
~ her, but his proposals were rejected.
In consequence Of his disappointment
he bought some poison and destroyed
himself. The Turkish police instantly
arrested the father Of the young wo.
man as the cause, by implication, Of
the mans death. Under the fifth spe-
cies Of homicide he became. therefore,
amenable for this act Of suicide.
When the case came before the mag
istrate It was urged literally by the
accusers that III he 1.-THE accused had
not had daughter the deceased would
not have fallen In love; consequently
he would not have been disappointed;
consequently he would not have swal-
lowed poison; consequently he would
not have died. But he 1.-THE accused)
had daughter, and the deceased had
fallen in love. and had been disap-
pointed, and had swallowed poison.
and had died."
Upon ell these accounts he was call
ed upon to pay the price Of the young
mans life. and this. being fixed at the
sum Of 80 piasters. was accordingly
exacted.
Another instance was related to DR..
Clarke. which occurred at the island of
Samos. as a characteristic feature Of
Turkish justice-that is to say, so
phistical application Of principle rig
idly founded upon this fifth species Of
homicide by implication" The Capu-
dan Pasha reasoned with the people of
Samos on the propriety Of their paying
for q Turkish frigate which was wreck
ed upon their territory and the crew
lost because the accident would not
have happened unless their island had
been In the way.'-Case and Comment

u,rd TO Hear Airplan. at Sea.

While 1t is widely known that an air
plane can be heard for some distance
of on land, on water the tapping OF the
waves and the whistling Of the wind
through the rigging and superstructure
Of vessel make it almost impossible
to hear the power plant OF an approach
ing seaplane until it is almost ovehead;
hence the submarine plying the sur
face has slight warning Of an impend-
ing seaplane attack until 1t is often too
late to escape.-Scientific American.

Oh, It's grand to be Scout!

But just you stop a minute, sonny,
And I'll show you all right here.

And we wear the khaki clothes.
We're going to help the Sammies,
With the chopping of our hoes.
We give the Red Cross money,
We help the Y. M. C. A.

Or maybe a soldier true,
And we'll give our last red drop O.

BACK TO THE WALL"
Haig Calls on His Men to Stand the
Final Test

London. April l3.-Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig in a special order of the
day addressed to "all ranks of the Brit
ish army in France and Flanders, says: I:
Three weeks ago to-day the enemy
began his terrific attacks against lis on
a. fifty mile front. His objects are TO
separate us from the French, to take the
channel ports and to destroy the British
army.
"In spite of throwing already, ore
hundred and six divisions into the battle
and enduring the most reckless sacrifices
of human life, he has yet made little
progress towards his goals.
Eve owe this to the determined fight
ing and self sacrifice of our troops
Words fail me to express the admiration
which ! feel for the splendid resistance
offered by all ranks of our army under
the most trying circumstances.
''Many amongst us now are tired. TO
those | would say that victory will be-
long to the side which holds out the
longest. The French army is moving
rapidly and in great force to our support
There is no other course open to us but
to fight it out.
Every position must be held to the
last man. There must be no retirement
With our backs to the wall and believ-
ing in the justice of our cause each ore
of us must fight to the end. The safety
of our homes and the freedom of man
kind depend alike upon the conduct Of
each one of us at this critical moment"
