THE DEADLY CARBON
MONOXIDE GAS

During the winter months at least
one person a day is killed by carbon
monoXide, that deadly gas Whica is
thrown out of the exhaust of the gas
cline engine. The fact is the more
appalling because II is an indication
Of gross carelessness. Fortunately III
most cases, only the careless one suf-
fers.
Until the motoring public is fully
aroused and alarmed, carbon monoN-
ide will continue to claim its vi i ms.
Carbon monoXide is a very peculiar
product of combustion and is deadly
because il kills without alarming its
victims. II has no smell and once Il
has struck, death is certain. If Won
run the engine of your car in a closed
garage you are taking chance with
the deadly gas. And even more, if
you run the engine out of doors and
keep the side curtains firmly buttoned
you are also gambling with death be-
cause the exhaust may be blown into
the car through the floor
Carbon monoXide Is heavier than
air and sinks in air. Thus if you are
working in a pit, in garage and
there is an engine pumping the gas
into the shop, the pit will soon be
filed and the gas will work into your
lungs.
Once in the lungs the gas chemic-
ally combines with the liquid portion
of the blood, decomposes il and pre-
vents it from absorbing the oxygen
so necessary for life. Once this
chemical combination has progressed
far enough and the blood is broken
down, there is no help and the pa
tient literally "drowns." Oxyger
may be pumped into the lungs, but
the blood cannot absorb ii and life
soon ceases.
The first sign of carbon nonoxide
poisoning is dizziness, but this is fol
lowed so soon by unconseiousness that
the victim has no chance TO escape.
Prevention is a million times better
than cure because there is so little
chance of a cure.-EX.

SOPHOMORE PICNIC.

On Saturday, May 90, tie Sopho.
more class, accompanied by Mr.. Sut.
ton and the Glass Advisor, Mrs. Var
Tassel, held its annual picnic at Lake
Wenatchee.
Leaving Leavenworth at S o'clock
the party arrived at its destination
about 1920, all determined to make a
big day of the annual celebration. AL.
though the weather was not so fav-
orable as it might have been, this did
not dampen the spirits of the Jolly
picnickers.
The day was spent in boat riding
baseball and various other games.
The launch was hired to tow five
boats across the lake, and from there
an adventurous party climbed to Hid
den Lake.
AT one o'clock at Cougar Inn, lunch
was set before the half famished
young folks, who could not make an
impression on the ample "eats" pro
vided.
At six o'clock the party was called
together to make the start toward the
Chewawa river, where a "weinie''
roast was to be held, as the final event
in the program of the day. The
bravery and fortitude which the boys
showed in disposing of the super
f1ous ice cream requires the thanks of
the entire class.
Nine o'clock found the cars all
iourneying toward home and all hap
py over the wonderful" time they
had enjoyed.

WE HAVE NO BAND.

Bandmaster Mcdaniel was in the
first Of the week and told Us some of
his troubles. He has worked hard
since early last winter to have band
this summer and now that it is the
season when a band is most in de-
mand it seems to have gone to pieces
and he says that perhaps il would be
better if someone else stepped in and
took the matter up.
Instructing and keeping a band 60
ing is a mighty hard task. We know
from an experience Of playing in
bands for several years. Mr.. Nc
Daniel has been at the city hall on
every evening set for practice for
months. Sometimes there would be
a good turnout and a nice practice
would be had. Other evenings the
attendance of players would be limit
ed to three, four or five, and no prac-
tice would be had. Matters went
from bad to worse, Mr.. Mcdaniel
says, until now he has no hope of
meeting the demand for a band next
week for the Memorial Day exercises
or for any other event
The Echo does not believe the mat
ter is in so hopeless state as indi-
Gated by Mr. Mcdaniel but of one
thing we are certain. If the city
wants a band it must make some pro-
vision for financing one. Mr.. McDan-
iel has not had a dollar for his work
so far this year. A leader cannot be
expected to work without some pay.
A small monthly sum would be suf-
fcient, though, to satisfy Mr.. Nc
Daniel, compared with what might be
expected to be the cost if a leader
were brought in from somewhere else.
The funds should be provided for mu-
sic which. if good. costs a consider
able sum, for the band cannot be ex-
pected TO play the old music alone,
wear after year. And in order to
stimulate interest. the members
should be provided with uniforms. so
that when they 90 on the streets or
elsewhere to play they are present
able.
The writer has been an advocate Of
a tax levy for the purpose Of sup
porting a band By this means a
fund could be had which would be
sure and also be under the control Of
our officials. assuring careful expen-
diture Perhaps that Is the best way
out of this difficulty A band is de-
/ sirable, if not necessary, and can cas-
/ lily be had if the proper encourage
ment is given those who give Their
time and enregy to playing the diff
/ ferent instruments, and if suitable
/ leader is provided.

DO YOU
WANT "3O-1O"
TAX PLAN?
Better Look Into 1t and be Prepared
to Vote lntelligently When Eiec-
ton Time Arrives.

A great campaign is being put on
sponsored by the Washington Branch
of the National Congress of Mothers
and Parent-Teachers Associations
with view to the adoption of the
"3O-10' plan by which taxes for the
schools of the state would be levied
and the state pay thirty dollars for
each child in the schools and the
county ten dollars.
A survey has been made and a list
OF 1898 districts is given in circular
from which we take the following ex-
amples of what is claimed would be
the result in dollars if the plan were
adopted and put into practice:
For instance Wenatchee had LIPS pu-
pills IN its schools in 1920-21 and their
school levy is given as 95 mills, with
an equalized valuation per pupil of
S4,Ol4. Under this plan the district
would pay to the state the sum of
S59,792 and draw back S77,S29, or re-
ceive S1.30 for each dollar of school
tax paid to the state.
Cashmere had 521 pupils in its
schools, has levy of 1873 mills, a
valuation per pupil of S4,339, would
pay in $4,000 and receive in return
24,l49, or sips for each dollar paid
the state.
Leavenworth had 427 pupils, levy
Of 1873 mills, valuation per pupil Of
S4,3O4, would pay S15610 in and
draw out S20,373, or S1.31 per dollar
paid in.
Chelan had 271 pupils, levy IA
mills. value per pupil $2,112, would
pay IN S4,S60 and draw out $13,304,
or $2.76 per dollar paid
ba ha1 1o,-,. =
mills, valuation per pupil $6,2S7,
would pay in s9,452 and draw out ST.,
59S, or soc for each dollar paid in.
North Dryden had III pupils, levy
11.5 mills, valuation per pupil S7.S44.
would pay in 1896 and draw out $4,-
985, or &c for each dollar paid in.
Monitor had 70 pupils, levy 1873
mills, valuation per pupil $l1,S2O.
would pay in S7,272 and draw out S4,-
9S4, or Csc for each dollar paid in.
Malaga had 72 pupils, levy 9 mills,
valuation per pupil S7,986, would pay
in S4,S83 and draw out S4,275 or SSc
for each dollar paid.
Those are instances of the local eff
feet on the taxpayers. Below we give
a few others:
Seattle had 41,435 pupils, levy 10
mills, valuation per pupil S5,304,
would pay in 81 ,S71 ,663 and draw out
S1,953,6S4 or $104 for each dollar
paid.
Bellingham had 1895 pupils, levy
/ mills, valuation per pupil $3.50,
would pay in S145,637 and draw out
S200,758 or S1.3S for each dollar paid.
Bremerton-Charle had 2,052
pupils, levy 30 mills, valuation per
pupil 81 1,069, would pay in $28,778 and
draw out S8S,249 or S307 for each
dollar paid.
The above figures ought to arouse
the interest of our readers and they
should give the matter study enough
to satisfy themselves as to whether
they want to support it or not.

FRONT STREET PARK
GREATLY IMPROVED

The Women's Civic Club has had
very fine improvements made in the
Front Street park. Flower beds have
been made and plants set out and the
band stand is undergoing thorough
repairing. Now if the public will
give attention to what the ladies are
endeavoring to accomplish and not
throw paper and other rubbish about
the park will soon be a real beauty
spot.
The Echo congratulates the ladics
on their work With them continual
~ striving to bring about improve
ments in the appearance of the city
great change ought to be noticed
within the coming weeks.

LEAVENWORTH STILL HAS
CLEAN RECORD.
Third Defeat of Season Administered
to Locals Sunday by Peshastin.
Score Ga.

Bill Walton's bunch of ball tossers
met Peshastin on the Peshastin
grounds last Sunday, losing by a
score Of 6 to 4. However, it was the
first signs of baseball that the Leav-
enworth crew has displayed this sea-
son.
Denny Malloy held Peshastin hit
less and scoreless for innings only
to have the Peshastinites grab off 5
hits in the 9th, two of them being
home runs, and making a total of 5
runs is this inning.
Wilson pitched nice game for
Peshastin, but the real honors of the
day go to Firstbaseman Day and Lef-
ty Douglas. Their timely hits broke
up the ball game.

Malaga fell before Dryden last
Sunday on their own grounds by a
score of 9 to g. Chas Kuelbs pitched
fine ball for Dryden. Owing to a
very poor job of score keeping on
this game we are unable to tell just
what each pitcher done, or in fact,
tell much about anything, except that
Laughlin started for Malaga and Dry
den won the game in the first inning.

The interior of the J. c. Penney
store has undergone considerable
change recently. The corner door has
been closed and a hat department
placed in the corner. Then a part Of
the high rack down through the store
has been removed. The latter gives
a better view of the store, and is .
noticeable improvement, while closing
the corner door gives more room.

FORD THE GREAT
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1921, by Frank Crane)

There is as much justification in calling Henry
Ford of the United States Ford the Great there ever
was in calling Alexander of Macedonia Alexander the
Great or Charles of France Charles the Great,
Charemagne.
For taking into account the change of times and
OF the materials which men have to work upon today
as compared with those which they had to work upon
in the world yesterday Ford has done quite as much
in the way of mpressing himself upon his fellow-nen
as did the warriors of old
That by which we form this judgment is not mere
popularity Charlie Chaplin is famous and so is Mary
Pickford Trotzky, or Landru But they famous
only IN the way of being nine days wonder. They
have succeeded in attracting universal attention. but
when they pass they will have nothing behind.
Foch and Pershing and Hndenburg famous
but only parts Of great machnesn which they func
toned but which they did not create.
Ford is great Fitting into the spirit Of the times
embodying the genius of the people among whom he
veS he has done with preemnent what in the
opinion of his contemporaries is worth while doing.
He has built up enormous industrial plant and
given employment to thousands of people at wages that
are more than just.
He has taken one of the greatest inventions of his
age-the automobileand brought it within the reach
of the multitude and this not by making it cheap and
flmsy, but by keeping it of the very best quality.
He has kept himself free from the domination OF
the financial barons.
He has strictly adhered to the best standard of
justice and ethics of his times
He has so far escaped the assaults of envy.
The charge that he is ignorant is absurd for real
knowledge is not learning, but rather ability and COM
mon sense.
He owes his position to no privilege. He has earned
his money.
His foolish attack upon the Jews only proves that
he is human and liable to mistakes
When he passes he will have the most enyabIe
eptaph man can have, which is that he has left the
world better than he found it.

Some of our latter-day evangelists who had for
saken secular callings have become sensational

that one of them whether sincere has failed to
