SHY ON SHEETS AND HAND
TOWELS FOR SOLDIERS
Kennewick Red Cross is Unable to
Even Purchase Its Quota of
Linen Shower

The Kennewick Branch of the Red
Cross was unable to fill it's quota of
the "Linen Shower" for the American
army hospitals in France because no.
body had sheets. long enough and it
was impossible to purchase new sheet
ing material. Many people gave mon
ey instead of linen and all sheeting
material in Kennewick, Pasco and
Richland was purchased. The same
was true of hand towels. The money
collected, however, should be more
than enough to make up the local
quota.
The quota called for So sheets, 108
bath towels, ZIG hand towels, $50
handkerchiefs and IL napkins. The
shipment included 25 sheets, Ill bath
towels, Sc hand towels, 221 handker-
chiefs and 88 napkins.
After buying such new materials
as could be purchased here the branch
forwarded the balance of $78.45 to the
chapter.

GIRL Is KILLED
ACCIDENTALLY
Daughter of G.. L. Dietrich of
Richland Shot in Back in
Family Sitting Room

= { Z 1
Velma, the 12-year-old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. L. Dietrich, was acci-
dentally shot and almost instantly
killed shortly after five o'clock this
evening at the home Of her parents
near Richland.
At this writing details of the acci-
dent are somewhat meagre. It is un-
,derstood that George, an older BROTH
'er, had been pheasant hunting and
upon returning home left the loaded
shotgun in bed room. A short time
afterward the gun was discharged.
The charge passed thru partition and
entered the back of the girl who was
in the sitting room with other MEM
bers of the family.
The first report reaching the Cour-
ier-Reporter was to the effect that
there was no one in the bedroom at
the time the gun was discharged, but
the latest word is that George was
in the bedroom at the time, but it is
not known in what manner the gun
was discharged.
DIR. A. G. Tullar of this city was
notified by telephone of the accident,
but before he could leave the city a
second message came saying that the
girl had died.

ing the Week burt Quota is
Not Yet in Sight

Total subscriptions to the fourth
Liberty Loan at the close of banking
hours today in the Kennewick district
were $56, 6,45O. This leaves the dis
trict about $4,000 under it's quota
and shows an increase for the week Of
about $4,000.
The committee realizes that the last
thousand generally comes much hard
er than the first, yet those in charge
of the campaign express themselves
well. pleased with the peoples re-
sponse. No soliciting has been done
yet and it is hoped that little or none
will be necessary. At the close of the
week checking up will be made to
ascertain who has not yet subscribed
and an effort will be made to hurry
up the backward ones.
The speaking campaign scheduled
for the first of the week was called off
because eof the influenza scare Pri-
vate McSweyn, .who saw service in the
trenches with the Canadians, was sent
here by the state committee but after
speaking in Richland Monday night he
was called in because of the ban on
public gatherings here and in Finley.

In most cases person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel diz-

complain of feeling chilly, and with
this comes a fever in which the tenn
perature rises to 100 to 104. In most
cases the pulse remains relatively
slow.
In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 3bloodshot," or "con-

there may be some cough. These signs

NO TIAIEsEVEN
TOTHINK PEACE
Judge HOlcOmb Says Americas
Watch Word is Carry On at
Home and Abroad

Judge o. R. Holcomb, of the state
supreme court, who with Mrs. Hol-
comb, is visiting at the home Of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. Staser, was
a guest at the Commercial club lunch
con Wednesday.
In short talk at the close of the
luncheon Judge Holcomb made STIR
ring appeal for unfagging zeal and
enthusiasm in every phase of war
work. "The recent peace offer of
Chancellor, Maximilian should be look
ed upon as pro-German propaganda
sprung for the purpose of slowing up
the attack of the allied soldiers on the
fighting fronts and slowing up SUBJ
scriptions to the fourth Liberty Loan
at home," said he. eve should turn
a deaf ear to all peace talk at this
time and should not cease for one in
slant in our efforts to put the Liber-
ty Loan over the quota. Even if peace
were declared today and hostilities
were to cease tomorrow our govern
ment will need every cent of the six
billion dollars to meet war obligations
already incurred and to bear the tire
mendous, expense of transporting our
troops back home. AS loyal Ameri-
cans we have no time to even think
Of peace now.
EVERY American should feel him
self spurred to do his utmost toward
winning the war. The pages of his
tory nowhere record human exploits
more inspiring or more thrilling than
those of our soldiers and sailors. The
Knights Errant of old performed no
deeds more heroic, more romantic,
more brilliant than those deeds which
our soldiers are every day. perform
ing on the fighting fronts in France.
AS yet we know but little of the real
worth and significance of bravery
of our men on land and sea and in the
air, but in each days laconic news
dispatches there is something to in
spire and thrill us anew and give US
new courage and new enthusiasm for
the war tasks here at home.
"The business of the people of Ken
newick, the people of the State OF
Washington and of the United States
today is that of winning the war, but
while we are winning the war we
should be looking ahead to the tre-
mendous task of reconstruction and
should be making plans to meet it.
With the end of the war there will
come to the state of Washington and
to the Pacific Northwest an era of
unprecedented activity and prosperity.
The task of reconstructing and rede-
veloping the world after the war is so
large as to be almost beyond our con-
ception. The starving and. underfed
millions must be fed, destroyed cities,
Transportation lines and factories must
be rebuilt, devastated regions must be
reclaimed, destroyed ocean shipping

Nash Announces
Prices Will Stay
Put Until July
Foresees Season of Great
Prosperity for All Motor
Products - Distributors
Meet at kenosha. Wis.

There viii be no changes in the
prices OF Nash passenger cars and
trucks before July l. 19l9.' was the
statement made by President c. W.
Nash at meeting of distributors from
all parts of the country held recently
:. kenosha.
In discussing his position on the
price question, President Nash said:
~ has always been my policy to cut
manufacturing costs by efficient manu-
securing methods and to sell on q very
mall margin of profit on volume
production basis. This policy we have
rigidly adhered to throughout the war
reriod and arc continuing tho same
policy now.
"Thc Nash products have not been
ovcrpriced. We made no raises on
these products except those naturally
brought about by rehnements, improve
mcnts and just recognition OF the
prices of material and labor.
Our margin OF profit on the COM
plete Nash line is small one, and it
IS only by quantity production that we
are in a position to market the line
at these figures and remain here in
business.
Realizing this situation, We have
made the announcement to the public
that there will be no changes in Nash
prices before July 1, 1919. We make
this announcement because Of the IN
certainty in the minds Of some dealers
Nd " he ind 81 ha O.
about by the fact that some companies
which had made raises in the prices of
their products at the time that it
seemed probable that there would be
no passenger car production in 1919,
With the changed conditions have re-
adjusted their prices.
THE reports brought in by our dis
,ributers at their meeting indicate that
there is great prosperity ahead for the
automobile industry throughout the
United States.
"The prospect of peace is already
bringing about big demand for both
tho limited production for the general
public during the war period there is
likely to be an undersupply of both
passenger cars and trucks. Dealers and
owners are recognizing this, and, in my
opinion, the coming spring will sec the
biggest demand FOR motor products
that this country has ever seen.
1--WE arc glad that because Of the
tact that our war work was strictly on
production Of our regular line Of pas
senger cars and trucks we are in a
position Immediately to proceed to a
volume production Of these same prod
ucts for consumers.
"Thcrefore we believe our factory,
our distributors and our dealers all are
in position to reap their full share in
the prosperity which the end Of the
WAY has brought to business generally"

to allow the chain to catch in the brake
mechanism and it is ruined or lost.
To apply chain properly it IS not
necessary to jack up the wheel. Lay
the chain over the top of the rear
wheel with the fasteners to che rear.
Tuck the surplus chain in under the
wheel and push the car forward. The

I'll you find one which opens the link
easily, or at least more easily than the
others. The links are difficult to bend,
so do not look for a tool that will
open a link without effort.
The question is frequently asked.
how many chains car should carry
and where they should be placed. Each
wheel should have a chain in icy
weather, but some drivers carry less.
Where one chain is used it should be
on the left rear, SO as to avoid damage
at the curb. If two are used they
should be on both rear wheels to in
sure traction and reduce diferential
action.
Do not fasten chains SO tightly that
they cannot creep, nor fasten them to

Better Roads to the South

Announcement OF the practical conf
pletion OF the new concrete road be-
tween Alexandria and Accotink, Va,
on the main route from this city to the
southland, and an appropriation Of
100000 from the War Department to
extend this form of construction four
mile beyond the latter point, is made
by the Touring Bureau of the A. A. A.
Metropolitan Consulate. This improve
ment viii be appreciated by many
motorists, whose inquiries to the Tour
ing Bureau indicate marked increase
IN Southern touring this winter.
There still remains quarter mile
of unfinished surface between AleXan-
dria and Accotink, but the detour is
short and over fair dirt and gravel.
Another material improvement con-
sists in opening for traffic new rail-
road underpass at Lorton station, thus
obviating the necessity OF using the
dangerous grade crossing which was
formerly necessary at that place.
Between Lorton station and Deco
quan there is a good gravel road for
about five miles. South Of Occoquan
there is q six-mile stretch now under
construction which is designed to elm
used. This road is particularly dan
gerous in wet weather ana should
never be attempted without making
careful inquiries about its condition
at the Washington office OF the
A. A. a.
The balance of the route through
fredericksburg to Richmond is now
Tree from detours and consists Of good
gravel practically all the way. Tour
.sts arc cautioned to watch for sharp
right turn at frame garage about
tour miles beyond the bridge over
Chopawamsic Creek. Any one missing
. this turn would continue probably TO
Stafford or Brooke, where the good
road ends, and from whence it would
be necessary to reverse several miles
n order to get back again to the main
road leading to Fredericksburg.
Further details regarding the best
route TO Florida may be secured upon
