CAN'T TIE WITH
LEAGUE LEADERS
TOppenish Failed to Win Both
Games Sunday-Standings in
Valley League

Toppenish lost her chance to tie
with the leaders of the Yakima Valley
League last Sunday by taking the
smaller end of 2 to / score at Pasco
Sunday afternoon. The game played
with Kennewick in the morning was
easily won by the visitors, by a score
of II to 5. This victory put them but
half game behind Wapato, the league
leaders, and prompted them to play
great ball in the deciding game with
Pasco in the afternoon. Both of Sum
days games Were play-overs due to
protested decisions.
The Pasco team figures it is in win
ming shape now and has posted $500
challenge for a game to be played with
Wapato on Pasco grounds, providing,
however, that they be allowed last
years battery, Hartman and Schroe-
der. Wapato fans are sure the Pasco
team is not on par with theirs, but
refuse to play on partizan grounds,
asking that the game be scheduled for
the Sunnyside diamond.
1t is likely that post season
schedule will be arranged also between
the Wapato and Toppenish teams.
Speaking of ball games, it occurs to
us that never a word was said last
week about the classic between the fats
and the leans. Perhaps it is just as
well, tho, that nothing be said, as the
park fund was fattened by only forty
dollars as result.
Following is the official standing
Of the Yakima Valley league:

Police Revoke License of the Pavilion
Upon Complaint of Other
Dancers

Shimmie and wiggle dances are ta-
boo in Kennewick and places that
stand for it come under the blighting
hand of the city's police. The open
air pavilion lost its license this week
because of repeated complaints, made
by the way, by the dancers themselves
that certain of the younger set were
not conducting themselves properly.
Owing to complaints made earlier
this year the city council passed an
ordinance to cover conduct at the
dances and requiring licenses from the
operators. Twice. lately the chie1 OF
police has warned the management TO
correct the conduct of the dancers, put

THREE OUT OF SIX
DIE OF NEW DISEASE
Valley Doctors Completely Baf-
fled as to Cause or
Treatment

A new disease and dangerous one,
has appeared in the Yakima valley and
has got the doctors considerably wor-
ried. Six cases have been reported,
three of which were fatal. Each Of
the six, too, were of the female sex,
altho the doctors cannot state that
males are immune.
Everything known to medical
science has been tried by local physi-
clans to locate the germ or name the
disease without avail. Members of the
state board of health came over from
the coast this week and are equally
at loss as to the cause or treatment
of the disease. Following the inves-
tigation here twelve cases have been
found between here and Yakima,
which are equally battling to the up
per valley physicians.
SO far no case has developed in Ken
newick, altho the local doctors have
handled the cases, two of which are
from Benton City, one from Hanford
and two at Alfalfa. AS each of the
cases was so far from here, the doctors
have been unable to observe the cases
in their beginnings. AS result but
incomplete data is available.
The patient complains of a slight
fever at first, then of peculiar lump
in the throat, which rapidly becomes
worse until the voice is lost and the
patient becomes unable to swallow,
and finally, to breathe. In those cases
which have passed the strangulation
stage the voice is gradually returning,
altho none of the three now under OBJ
servation are able to articulate plain
ly yet, indicating paralyzed vocal
cords.
In the interests of general health
it is urged that the first signs of the
above symptoms be communicated to
one of the local physicians.

DROP ESQ CLERKS
FROM WAR RISK

approximately $50 clerks and en-
ployes Of the bureau Of war risk in
surance have received notices. of dis
last few days to take effect June ].
Although it is underst ood that the
bureau was damned" with work. the
dismissals were necessary on account
of cut in appropriations. and they are
believed to be- only forerunncr Of
dismissals Of approximately 900 per
sons during the coming year.
Further Cuts Coming.
The cut in appropriation for the bu
reau from $1.oo0.00O to $4,000. 600 for
the coming fiscal year will make the
additional cut in force necessary. Of
ficials said today. The bureau now
has between 500 and 5000 employees.
This is cut of approximately 1000
since last year, and the additional re-
duction which will probably be made
during the next fiscal year will re-
duce the working force Of Uncle Sans
insurance agency to approximately
$500.
The persons employed now by the
bureau are recognized as the cream

taking place since Congress first
clamped down on appropriations for
the bureau has resulted in the ac-
cumulation of a force said to be the
most highly efficient possible for the
bureau
Factors In D:ami missals.
The dismissals. according to Of
fcials. are being made on a basis
which primarily deals with efficiency.
The second consideration is length of
service. and the third is dependence Of
other persons on the employe and the
surrounding the. case.
Efficiency has reached such a high
standard in the bureau through the
accumulating cuts that many Of the
persons who received notice Of sever
ance Of connection with the service
were by no means deficient or diiatory
in their work. Many of them, it is
understood. who are to be separated
from the bureau have been employees
of comparatively veteran standing in
the work, and the dismissal notices were
not sent out until exhaustive surveys
of conditions were made by each

Other Changes Ordered.
Several other important changes in
the courses of study in the high
schools. beginning in September, also
nounced. Provisions have been made
whereby students may earn 4 high
school diploma without having pur-
sued any foreign language. Students
will be required to take only one
year of mathematics for diploma
rather than two years Of this sub
ject. as at present.
Explaining the elimination Of the
foreign language requirement, DR..
Ballou said that las the high school
becomes more cosm opolitan and more
largely than ever before a finishing
school for college. it becomes in
creasingly necessary to modify the
courses Of study in accordance with
this change in personnel. Pupils who
do not pursue foreign language study
will be expected to devote more in
te.sive study to English history. sci =
ence and mathematics"
Adapted to Needs Of Pspils.
These changes have not been made,
the superintendent pointed out, for
the purpose of making the earning of
the high school diploma easier, but
rather for the purpose of adapting
the work Of the high school and its
resources more nearly to the needs of
the pupils who enter those schools.
