Question Box, The Atlanta Tri-Week-

Dear Folks: Some friend wrote
asking if l could not suggest some
thing new" for Christmas dinner.
| My reply was that O.. all days Christ
mas should cling I'D old-fashioned
! things,
The good, old-fashioned dinners
can, however, be modified. In Ye
tOlden days, the tables literally groan-
ed under the weight of food. We no
| longer consider that good taste, nor
| is it good for our health, but a din
ner on the line of the ones of by
gone days makes Christmas seem
more like Christmas.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Farmerette: Your corn should
weigh (shelled) Sc pounds to the
bushel; your white Cor Irish pota-
toeS) should weigh 60 pounds, and
your sweet potatoes 55 pounds to the
bushel. You are right in prefering
to weigh your produce instead of
measuring it. No question can be
raised when it is sold by weight.
These weights are according to the
laws of the United States.
Housekeeper: Here are some Of
the uses for kerosene, other than
fuel oil: AS disinfectant, poured
through drains; to clean marble, por-
celain, basins bath tubs and enamel
ware generally; to wash paint, in
place of water; to remove fly Specks.
Eva: If you find that the use of
water on your face in winter, as you
have to be out of doors, chaps your
skin, cleanse your face at least twice
day with a pure cleansing cream.
Bride-to-Be: I've prejudice
against marriages. on Sunday or holi-
days-just a personal matter.
Father: OF course it is hard for
you to think of letting your biggest
girl leave home for school, and as
you say in taking her mothers place
she is doing a big thing, but you
must think Of her future as well as
the comfort of having her with you.
If she has two or three years now
in good school, she will surely come
back to you happier and more
helpful girl. She has some rights

Dead Children:
Just a brief description of the
clothing of the American Indians.
The clothing of the Indian varied
from the breech or loin cloth of the
Southern tribes, to the southwestern
tribes who wore blankets, to the
New England .Sroups who dressed
in cloth and skins, and the north
western clans which dressed entire
ly in skins. Some Of the tribes went
barefoot most of the time; all of
them had moccasins. Originally cot
ton was used only by the southwest
ern groups; other tribes wove willow
and cedar bark fiber, sage brush
and Eastwood bark, corn huSk fiber,
Indian hemp, and pommewaW grass
fiber. The women twisted or spun
the fibers by rolling them under the
palm upon the thigh. 1t is said that
cedar bark wool" was of the soft
ness and fineness of our doWnmor
cotton. Bark was broken up with
corrugated beaters of whale bone, or
loosened into fibrous masses with
half moon shredders. Upon these
simple garments were embroidered
elaborate designs in beads of many
shapes and colors, pOrcupine quilts
and feathers. For the chiefs and
warriors great cloaks and headresseS
were made of feathers. Earrings OIL
beads. stones, bird beaks and animal
claws often hung from their cars. Tn
Indian, savage as he was, preferred
sowiness to art, although the bas-
kets and pottery made by him show
ed real artistic qualities.
We will postpone our Indian story
until the week after Christmas.

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you would like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out in the world you'll find

And many a coward fails,

Wonderful Results Can Be SCI
1.-The Winning Votes Can Be
This Coming Week Be W

Only eight days more-just one week is left-one week in
which to secure 'First PERIOD votes in The Tribune's big
$4,000 automobile campaign; just one week more in which
to redeem all promises-one week in which to garner enough
votes and subscriptions to 'cinch'' the prize you most desire.
Your last chance for big votes-never again during this cam
paign will it be possible to secure so many votes on subscrip-
tons as between now and 10 o'clock Monday night, April 2.
To hold back subscriptions, or to rely on promises" to sub
scribe at a later date, simply means that you will have to take
less votes on such subscriptions. We are putting it up to you
squarely. If you entertain anyidea of winning one of the big
prizes you cannot possibly afford to let this 'period' pass
without having done your very best. Hard work now will
count for more than all the regrets in the world after the race
is over. Do your best the next eight days.

Church Mfg. Company to
Equip Pasco Plant With.
Refrigeration f..
TO HAVE SPACE FOR
40 CARS OF APPLES
Total Cold Storage in This
District is Nearly 300
Carloads

AT a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Church Mfg. company
Friday, Manager NJ H. Church was
given authority to install refrigera-
tion machinery and to equip for cold
storage purposes the company's large
plant at Pasco. Mr.. Church left yes
terday for Chicago where he will
place orders for the necessary equip
ment and it is expected that the plant
viii be in operation by apple-picking
time.
The additional storage will greatly
increase the facilities for handling and
marketing the apple crop Of this dis
trict and the. announcement is espec-
tally welcome in view of the predic-
tion that the shortage of refrigerator
cars will be more acute this fall than
for several years.
The new plant will have cold
storage capacity of 130 carloads of
apples. Minor alterations are to be
made in the company's Kennewiclk
plant which will allow space in the
cold storage rooms for 40 carloads
in addition to the space used for the
storage of the company's own pro-
ducts and other commercial storage.
At the present time more than 1000
cases of eggs are stored in the Kenne-
wick plant and part of the could
rooms are being used by the Kenne-
wick -Richland Fruit Growers company
for preceding ard packing the pear
crop of its members.
The local plant of the Yakima Fruit
Growers association has cold stor-
age capacity of 10s cars of apples.
While the Kennewick Supply & Stor-
age company can store six cars in
its cold rooms it accepts nothing for
season storage.
When the Church company's new
plant is in operation growers of this
district will have cold storage facili-
ties for 278 cars of apples. This is
considerably more than one-third of
this years estimated crop Of $50
cars. There is probably enough dry
storage space to house the rest of
the crop for short perid. This a.
mount of storage and the fact that
Kennewick's earlier varieties of wint-
er apples are ready for shipment be-
fore those from other apple districts,
renders the handling of the apple
crop much less perplexing problem
here than in any other sections.

LOCAL MEN GO
TO WASHINGTON
Mouton and Rudkin to Con-
fer With Commissioner
of Reclamation

NJ. M. Moulton, secretary and John
Rudkin, director, of the Kennewick
Irrigation district will leave this even
ing for Washington, ID. c., where
they will confer with d. w. Davis,
commissioner of reclamation.
Commissioner Davis will be urged
to take favorable action on the con-
tract which has been submitted for
government construction of the Ken
newick unit of the u. S. Yakima pro-
ject. He will also be requested to
include in the reclamation budget for
next year an item for beginning con-
struction on the Kennewick unit.
The contract, which was forwarded
to the reclamation department shortly
before the present commissioner re-
lieved Director Arthur P. Davis, has
been approved by Western reclama-
ton officials, and the local project is
in shape for construction work to be-
gin very soon after the money is
made available.
The Kennewick men do not expect
to ask for any new or increased ap-
preparation for the Yakima project.
They will, however, urge Commission
er Davis not to reduce the former
percentage of the reclamation fund
allotted to the Yakima project. If
no reduction is made there will be
enough money available for next
year to complete the Rimrock dam
and to make a substantial start on
the Kennewick unit.

BRINGS BACK
FASHION NEWS
Mrs. d. G. Rodgers Returns
from Annual Trip to Buy
and Study Styles

Mrs. ID. G Rodgers returned the first
of the week from her annual buying
and misunderstanding trip to the cities
of the Middle West. She attended
the Million-Dollar Fur Fashion show
and the National Hairdressers con-
vention in Chicago and the annual
Fall Fashion show in st. Louis, and
took. corset-fitting course in one
of the large Chicago corset houses.
In addition to placing orders for
her fall stocks she brought back much
interesting fashion gossip" for the
ladies of Kennewick. She told the
editor all about the new fall styles
and asked him to write 'em up. But
it simply can't be done, not by an
ordinary country editor. In the first
place he can't spell the names of all
those things women wear and the
dictionary don't give them.
This much the editor did CLEAN
however, the hair dressers have de-
creed the high "do-up" (our word)
which means that the bobettes will
have to pin on all that was bobbed
off and more. There will be twists,
and coils, and curls, and puffs, and
the Gloria Swanson Swirl all of which
will have to be made to order unless
the girls have left the ''makins" (an-
other one of our words) on their
heads. ea
Ornaments from the neck up are
more s'fussy" (our word) than ever,
the ear rings are longer and more
elaborate and the beads are either
very long or very short, choker ef-
feet. The narrow brillinant-set brac-
lets are very popular. They are worn
singly, in pairs or by the wristfsl
Flower ornaments are likewise very
popular for the hair along with the
fancy combs.
Hats are next-The opening show
ings of millinery indicate a grow
ing inclination for, a hat that turns off
the face with nearly. all shapes of
small or medium size with the larger
hats worn for dress only. Blacks
and browns predominate. Materials
are duvetyn, velvet, satin, suede and
leather appliqued with metal thread.
Feathers abound. All kinds of fea-
theirs, with wings. There is embroid-
cry in flosses and chenille and beads
as well as ribbon, metal grosgrain
and picot. Yes and there are drapes
of ribbon cocardes over one or both
ears.
Whewl Have run out of words.
Will tell you about dresses. coats and
suits, etc. next week.

GOES TO SEATTLE s.
TO SEE NEW BUCKS
C.. M. Bartlett Says 1924
Models Have Created
Sensation in Motordom

The introduction of the 1924 model
Bucks at the Eldridge Buick sales
room, Seattle, August 1, proved to one
of the greatest in motordom which
has ever taken place in Seattle.
Mr.. C. M. Bartlett, of the Speck
Buick company, Kennewick, who has
just returned from Seattle says that
on August 1, between the hours OF
a. m. and p. m. when the Eldridge
Buick company, of Seattle, threw op-
en- their doors for inspection of the
new Bucks, over twenty-five hundred
people inspected and approved the
new models which were on display.
There is no question that these
Bucks will be hailed as substantial
advance in automobile engineering
but it will be noted at the same time
that the new features are deve-
opments rather than inovations, i'm
provements rather than changes, and
consistent throughout with those
Bucks proves that they endured thru
twenty years of Buick manufacture,
says Mr.. Bartlett.
Buick have added several new MOD
els which make this one of the most
complete lines of automobiles. on the
market at the present time.
The Eldridge Buick company, OF
Seattle, have arranged to have car
avan consisting of the different 1924
models visit each of its agencies dur
ing the next few days, the date OF
their arrival in Kennewick will be
announced later.
