Advocates of cremation point to
the fire bleached ash and ask if

all that remains of the loved one
than when they visualize what oc-
ours following earth burial.
b. The story of cremation in the
United States dates back to the
early SOS, when DIR. J. LeMoyne
erected a private crenatorium near
Pittsburgh, Pa. 1t was closed in
1884, but not until forty bodies
had been cremated. In that year
the second crematorium was opened
at Lancaster, Pa. The following
year one was opened at Buffalo,
N. Y, and one at Fresh Pond, l.. l.
At present seventy-seven such
plants are in operation in the
United States. The average num-
Der of cremations each year is in
excess of 1900.
According to history, cremation
was generally practiced centuries
before the Christian era in Europe
and Asia. AS timber became less
plentiful the cost of cremation rose,
until other methods Of disposing of
the dead, except in the case of
wealthy families who could afford
to purchase a sufficient quantity
of wood for the purpose, were de-
vised. It was revived in Germany,
In the glass-making districts, dur
ing the middle of the past century,
only to be suppressed, and later re-
vived.
Locally there has been a growing
conviction during the past two
years that the bodies of victims OF
contagious diseases should be Gre
mated and that this disposal OF
them should be prescribed by law.
Such action is understood to be
favored by many local physicians.
Others converted to cremation see
in this method of burial an end to
the demand for ideal locations for
cemetary purposes. AS. they put
it:
THE beautiful localities belong to
the living; the dead are past en-.
joying them. Church memorials
should take the place of tombstones
in graveyards and memorialized
activities in social work that of
mansoleums.
K. Bishop, superintendent Of the
District Crematorium, declared to-
day that cremation Is becoming
more common as people come to
take a practical view Of the dis.
posal of their dead and realize what
cremation is and means to the
world at large.

S. s. Kresge May Not Be Al

NEW YORK, April ia $1,000
600 life insurance policy sought by
s. S. Kresge, Detroit 5 and 1O-cent
store proprietor, has caused a storm
of protest today in insurance circles.
The reason is that Kresge wants
the underwriters commission on the
premium of $500, 0O0-which would
amount to about $15O,OOO-to go TO
friend.
Kresge, who operates 212 chain
stores throughout the country and
is fifty-five years old, may never
be permitted to take out the huge
insurance. The New York State
Department of Insurance is making
an investigation of the matter.
Wallace Scott, of the brokerage
firm Of w. e. Hutton and Company,
who used to be an insurance under
writer, applied for an underwriters
license. He is the man through
whom Mr.. Kresge wished to trans
oct the insurance.
Denial was made by James II.
Mcintosh, counsel for Kresge, that
there was any foundation to
charges a rebate had been agreed
upon between Kresge and Scott
Such a rebate would be illegal
Mcintosh said complaint that an
unusual agreement had been made
between the princip lis was laid be-
fore the insurance department by
members of the local underwater &
union who. he said, were willing to
have Kresge take out all the IL
surarce he wanted, providing the
business was done through the
Union.

division. There will be thrilling run
ming races every afternoon, and some

Washington Names
WalIa WaIIa.

Walla Walla, meaning running wa
ter, is one of the most beautiful In
dian names in Washington geography.
according to Edmond S. Meany, pro-
fessor of history at the University OF
Washington, writing in the Washing
ton Historical Quarterly on the origin
of Washington geographic names.
The origin of the name Walla Walla
is easily ascertained, as it was re-
corded by the first white men who Wis
tied that region, according to Profess
sor Meany. Early forms were: Wollah
Wollah, Wallow Wallaws. Wollow VOL
lab and Woller Woller. In several Ian
guages walla means running water,
and reduplications of the word diminu-
ties it so Walla Walla is the small,
rapid stream. The words thus first re-
corded as the name Of a tribe of In
dams was soon naturally applied to
the region occupied by them. In fact.
the name was taken by the Indians be-
cause it described the land where they
lived. Rev. Myron Eells, who devoted
his life to work among the Indians,
wrote:
"Walla Walla Is Nez Perez and
Cayuse word, which means running
water Two meanings Of it are given.
one being small stream running into
large one-that is, the Walla Walla
emptying into the Columbia another is
ripple after ripple. Near the mouth OF
the river the Northwest Company of
Montreal built their Fort Nee Perce
in 1918, which has been known ~ "Old
Fort Walla Walla."
The territorial legislature passed an
act, approved on April Is, 1854, to or
ganize walla Walla county. On June
9, 1856, treaty wac concluded with
the "Walla Walla, Cayuses and UNA
tilla tribes"
Immediately after this Indian war
broke out and Fort Walla Walla was
established by Lieutenant Colonel
Stephen Steptoe. Near the fort grew
the city of Walla Walla. Walla Walla
was known as Steptoeville. or Wielet-
pu until on January IL, 1862, Walla
Walla was regularly incorporated.
Professor Meany also gives the fol-
lowing information on the origin of
the names Waitsburg and Prescott:
Waitsburg was named in honor of
Sylvester M. Wait, who built mill
there in 1854. The place was known
as Waits Mill A postoffice was Sc
cured In 1866 and, at the suggestion
of William N. Smith, was called
Delta" In 1858 the people voted to
change it to Waitsburg and the post
office department accepted the change
Prescott was named in honor of G.
H. Prescott, general superintendent Of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co.
The town was plated May IL. 1882,
and the first settlement on the site
was BY Rev. H. H. Spalding in 1869.

Farmers Handle Labor Problems.

Through the efforts of County Agent
A. r. Chase and the Ephrata farmers,
a committeeman was appointed to
handle the labor problem in each
town in cooperation with the federal
director of employment. A free en-

Coulee City, Harline, Ruff, Warden,
Wilson Creek, Neppel, Ephrata and
Quincy. A uniform scale of wages
was adopted and resulted in a sta
