EVEN BREAK WITH

Kennewick Boys Win and Girls

even last Friday night in two
fast basketball games on the To-
cal floor, the Richland girls win
ming by a score of 81 to II and
the Kennewick boys squaring the
account by defeating their op-
ponents 33 to Is. The games
were clean and fast and were
marked by the best feeling on
each side thruout. The officiat-
ing was well taken care Of by
Mr.. Ashmun, of the local school
and Mr.. Ludwig of Richland.
These games thruout represent
ed the best type of athletic COM
petition between neighboring
high schools and speak well for
the good sportsmansh;p of the
players of both schools.
The first contest was between
the girls teams, the Kennewick
girls surprising themselves as
well as their supporters by the
excellent showing they made
during the first half, the score
standing when time was called, 9
to IL. During the second half,
however, Irma McAuley, who
last year played on the Kenne-
wick team, reinforced the visit
ors and made six points while
Miss Zimmerman annexed four
more. Kennewick meantime
had their hands full in adding
three points, so the end of the
second half saw the visitors con-
siderably in the lead. Both teams
did some excellent playing, Miss
Zimmerman accounting for the
majority of Richards scores,
while eight of Kennewick's IL
points were made by Charlotte
Lincoln. Both teams were ex-
tremely weak in throwing bas-
kets from fouls, Kennewick get
ting only four out of fifteen at
tempts and Richland but three
out of seventeen attempts.
In the boys game which fol-
lowed, Kennewick started with
a substantial lead and maintain
ed it during the entire play. Rich
land did not seem to be able to
get her team work started and
was weak on making baskets
from the floor when opportunity
for a throw was offered. Credit
for the difficulty experienced by
Richland forwards in that de-
partment goes to the two Ander-
son boys Earl and Joe, who did
steady and consistent playing at
guard. Willsey and Bryd, as for
wards did fast and excellent
work, several sensational bas-
kets at hard angles being shot by
Byrd. johnson at center made
fifteen of Kennewick's thirty
three points and proved too fast
for his opponent to guard con-
sistently. Both teams were ex-
ceptionally weak at throwing
baskets from fouls, Kennewick
making but three out of thirteen
attempts and Richland but three
out of fifteen.
The boys team made a trip
to Walla Walla accompanied by
Mr.. Ashmun Saturday and play
ed against the Walla Walla high
school that evening. The boys
of the larger school proved too
much for their lighter and small

| think it is something more than
passing fancy that seems to find a
curious resemblances between houses
and the people who live in them. The
identity that expresses itself in a
house. whether it is built or selected
by it's resident, is that same inherent
and mysterious thing that determines
the attractions and friendships be-
tween people. In its charm or aus
terity, its ease or its formality, its
aggressiveness or its retirement, in
all that makes its character and per-
sonality there is something there of
recognized congeniality and personal
fitness that draws the dweller to the
dwelling-makes him take to it as his
own.
And just as there is character in
houses, there are elements of harmony
that prevail between them. That is
why a neighborhood of houses of
widely varying types strikes one as
unpleasantly discordant. 1t is a
gathering together of uncongenial
spirits. their peculiarities emphasiz-
ed by their differences. 1t is individ
uality carried to the point of outright
antipathy.
Discordant neighborhoods are a pc
culiar characteristic. of American cit
les. The American temperament
seems not to be keenly attuned to
harmonies in its architecture. 1t
rarely takes into account the fitness
of things. When an American sees
something that he likes he promptly
makes it his own, Indifferent to the
fact that he has no proper place to
put it. And because there is virtue
in Tudor houses, Spanish missions.
Swiss chalets and Moorish palaces,
we must put one of each on a city
block and call it Architecture"
America is the only country in the
world that has not developed ma
tional style of architecture.
At the same time most of the popu-
lation of America is collected into
communities, where the Community
life takes on certain characteristics.
There is no good reason why the
houses in each community should not
observe a certain harmony between
themselves should not conform
agreeably to the order of the COM
munity.
This was true in the early days of
the settlement of the country, when
people were dependent for their ma
terials upon the district in which they

lived and were governed in their
needs by the climate. That is why
we said a certain type of houses In
New England differing widely from
those of Spanish California; why the
houses of the old South had style of
their own quite distinct from those of
the middle west. But the railways

ion throw a shadow across the middle
west veranda so that now in any city
of the country we may find next to
Dutch colonial mansion Spanish
hacienda and around the corner from
both log bungalow and Tudor man
or house.
We seem to have assumed that our
selection of Moorish or a Tudor or
Swiss sytle of architecture confers
on us the title of a cultivated taste.
1t is this individual rivalry between
the owners that produces discordant
neighborhoods. One might go ever
farther and find an analogy in Amer
lean life in general, the individuals
head-long pursuit of his own aims
numbing his sense of duty to the COM
munity.
1t is not to be urged that when a
man builds house he should in the
interests of harmony, build just like
his neighbors. That would be to
avoid one evil by perpetrating anoth-
er, for the neighbors might all have
built badly. But it is urged that in
our building whether it be house or
theatre or a monument we go back
to the old principle of fitness that lies
at the root of all good taste, and de-
termine the form and structure of
our building with regard to the sim
pie rules of utility, beauty and har-
mony with its setting, its surround
ings.
When these are observed, one can't
go far wrong in his choosing. The
owner may not be a good Judge of
these things, being a specialist, per-
haps in some other profession but
the designer he calls to draw his
plans is specialist in all three. In
observing the rule of fitness, too, he
is more likely than not to develop
eventually an American style Of arch
itecture, for only by serving the laws
of utility, beauty and harmony with
it's setting can there be expressed in
its building the life of the people
which is the character of the nation.

URGE CAUTION
WITH SPRING
WHEAT CROP
TEN YEAR AVERAGE OF YIELDS
SHOWS WINTER WHEAT CROPS
HAVE BEEN THE BETTER.

The discovery by field men or the
Michigan Agricultural College that
many farmers have omitted to plant
winter wheat this fall because they
expect to put in spring wheat next
season, has brought warning from
the department of farm crops eau
tioning against over-indulgence in the
spring-sown varieties.
Eve have no intention of discourag-
ing the production of spring wheat
among those who have repeatedly
tried it out and are satisfied with the
results obtained" the statement from
the college declares, but merely sug-
gest that those who are contemplate
ing an increase in acreage or are SOW
ing this crop for the first time, be
careful to consider the limiting fac
tors.
snow and then, as during the past
summer, good yields of spring wheat
have been obtained, but the ten year
average for the two crops, shows that
fall sown wheat has been far superior.
Spring wheat seems to be more Of a
gamble than such crops as fall sown
wheat, or spring sown barley or oats.
individuals who desire to raise this
crop, however, should bear in mind the
following points:
"Obtain good, plump seed Of the
Marquis variety. Look out for wild
oats and other noxious weeds and sow
just as early in the spring as the soil
and weather will permit. Home grown
seed should give good results this
coming season and can be more easily
examined for weeds before purchas-
ing than can the imported varieties"
Evidently the good old fashioned
winter wheat is about the best crop to
tie to.
