be on exhibition at the fair. The
club expects to continue through
the summer and the next school
year, Mrs. Cowley presented Ros-
well Johns beautiful basket of
chocolates for composing the best
slogan for the club. 1t was:

Hoe row day
And keep the grocer away.
Robert Mayne was third with:
Use your heart, hands and head.

fall weather.
Mr.. Love, the county agent, will
be at the school on Friday, at 10
0 clock to meet with the club.
The annual conference of high
school students was held at the
University Of Washington on Fri
day and Saturday of last week.
Those who went from Vashon
thigh school were Consuelo Ram
quist, Stella Ceilings, Liv Blek-
stead, Carl Bridgman, Ward
Prigg, Reginald Cutler and Mr..
Hardnger. They report that they
had very good time. One of the
results of the conference was the
organization of a girls club at
Nashon high school. Its aim is to
make the girls feel their place in
school activities, establish a more
democratic feeling, and help them
in every way possible. Several
committees were appointed, among
them being a clothing committee.
The committee made the following
recommendations and taboos to be
effective Monday.
We, the committee on clothing.
hereby submits the following list
of tabooed and recommended
clothing for the girls of, Vashon
high school: Silk hosiery, silk
dresses, chiffon, georgette, china
silk and other transparent mater
ials for blouses and dresses, long.
dangling earrings, French heeled
shoes, mclean clothing, rolled
stockings, garters worn below
knees, low camisoles and excessive
use of cosmetics.
We recommend straight dresses
cotton or wool (not silk ,blouSes
and skirts, sport clothing, i. e.,
low heeled shoes, sweaters, mid
dies, etc, cotton or silk and wool
or plain wool stockings, neatness,
of hair, shoes, finger nails, hose,
teeth, skirts, fasteners on clothes.
and when white shoes and stock
Iings are worn, that they be spot
lessly clean.
We have considered the prob
lens of clothes from the financial
aesthetic and democratic stand
points and believe that if the girls
of the high school will enter into
this with the proper frame of
mind that their influence on the
grade students will be greatly bet
tered and that their opinion of
each other and their own self res
poct will be much higher.
The officers of the Girls club
are: President, Liv Blekstad ;
vice president. Katheryn Garrod,
and secretary-treasurer, Marion
Garvin.

SCHOOL QUESTION
NOT UP FOR VOTE
Forty-Five Day Limits Keeps
Union School Question
OH May Ballot.

Vashon-Maury island will not
have centralized high school
this year, nor will there be suf-
fent funds subscribed to purchase
the tract of school land. These
two rather painful facts were re-
vealed at the meeting of the horti,
cultural society on Tuesday even
ing Of this week. G. E. Bragg, one
of the members of the committee
on educational affairs, reported
that board of elections requires 45
days notice before a question can
be placed on the ballot, and as
there was not time to do that, the
only way left is to hold spec
ial election, AS this is quite eN-
pensive he does not believe that
the request will be granted.
Mr.. Bragg further reported that
only $500 has been subscribed for
the purchase of the sckool tract
south Of Vashon and as th> com
missioner could not extend the
time beyond April 90, it is very
doubtful if any action could be
taken in time.
The secretary of the society was
instructed to ask the county com
missioners to set a speed limit of
u miles per hour for automobiles
passing through Vashon.
Ira Thompson brought the mat
ter Of having all rural mail boxes
placed at uniform height and at
a uniform distance from the high
way. He compEmented Eashon
Heights folk for having the best
arranged boxes with the Cove
patrons next.
Alex. Stewart brought up the
matter of securing better and
cheaper water transportation. He
stated that the commissioners are
authorized to control the tariffs.
Under the lease the Kitsap Coun.
ty Transportation Co. is supposed
to furnish an annual financial re-
port. The company has been op-
Grating the ferry for IS months
but thus far has made no report
he said. The matter was referred
to the transportation committee.
The following committees were
announced:

PUT ONE OVER ON D!NGLEY
Kansas Representative Marked Up
Distinctive "Score" on Famous
Statesman From Maine.

The famous Jerry Simpson, Populist
representative in congress from Kan
sas, took delight in turning the laugh
upon Representative Dfngley, espe-
clally on something related to the
tariff. One day the Kansan walked
down the aisle on the Republican side
of the house, peered into Dingley's
silk hat, which was reposing on his
desk as a sign that no business Of
Importance was expected to come up,
and went to his seat. A little later
he obtained the floor. He spoke of
Dingley's views on protection. But"
he went on, "the gentleman from Maine
does not practice what he breaches
There's that hat, which has become
barometer In the house. That hat was
made by the pauper labor Of Europe.
1t bears the firm name Of a London
concern. l was amazed when l acct
dentally saw that English trademark.
The makers of that hat claim to be
purveyors of hats to royalty"
Dingley's explanation that he had
not inquired the make OF the hat
but had merely taken one that fitted
him, only added to the hilarity Of the
occasion.
