CONSIDER PLAN OF
UNION HIGH SCHOOL
Voters Will be Given Oper.
tunitY to Express
Opinion

The committe appointed at the
meeting Of the patrons Of the
Vashos school district ON Monday.
March 10, composed of O. II. lin
coin, c. Z. Bragg and Ira Thomp-
son, to investigate the feasibility
Iof providing a union high school
for the island, met the directors of
the other districts Of the two is
lands at Burton Monday night.
c. E. Bragg called the meeting
TO order and asked for nomina-
tons for permanent chairman. Mr..
Bragg was elected to that position
and Mrs. Gorsuch named secre-
tary, Mr. Bragg made talk in
which he begged all TO forget their
ucighborhood and work for Wash
on-Maury island.
County Superintendent Burrows
who was present was called upon
to explain the situation. lie stat
ed that the people cannot vote
bonds for a new high school be-
cause some of the districts are now
bonded to the limit. The only way
for the districts to get out of debt,
he said, is to vote evry district IN
to one union high school then take
the Vashon high school to Burton
as the Vashon building can not be
made to take care Of the students
of both schools. By putting up
a small portable building for man
ual training, Mr.. Burrows believes
that the Burton bui. ding could ac-
commodatc the students from the
whole island.
BY this consolidation about
$4,000 per year in salaries would
be saved, but the transportations
costs would be slightly higher than
at present.
| If the island were a union dis
trict the directors could levy 10
mills for the grade school and 10
mills for the high school without
a vote. At the present time it is
necessary to vote the extra 10
mills.
The directors at the meeting
voted to make an effort to place
the question before the voters at
the election on May s.
Profo. Kirkland explained that
the district would have to do TO
retain the 40 acres Of school land
south of Vashon for the school.
The directors present requested
the secretary to write C. Y. Say
idge state land commissioner, re
Iquesting him to not release this
tract until the district has an OPP
portunity to consider purchasing
lit.

PAUL TOTES FAIR WITH
HIS DOCKTON FRIENDS
Permanent Highway Funds Not
Available, but Will Build
Road Anyway.

Frank II. Paul, promised the
Dockton folk last fall a road if
he was elected county commission
er from this district. Immediately
upon his entry as county commits
sioner he laid plans for a shore
line highway from Portage to
Dockton. He sent a group Of sur
veyors to work under Engineer
Beeman and had the estimate at
something less than $S0,000.00 to
construct a water line highway.
He planned to have the route de-
clarcd an artcrial highway, and
expected to construct the road out
of the permanent highway fund.
But last Monday when he brought
the matter up before the other
members Of the board, and asked
to have their approval to this plan
both Commissioners Gaines and
Dobson voted down the resolution.
Mr.. Paul voted in favor Of it, but
the resolution was lost.
In am interview with Mr.. Paul
by the News-Record, he expressed
great disappointment over the
turn Of affairs in the Dockton road
matter, but shut his lips, gritted
his teeth, and said: "Don't worry.
I promised the Dockton folk a
road, and they are going to have
one, no matter what may come
or go" Frank Paul is the ncrv-
lest man in King county! Dock
ton will get road!

BANK CELEBRATES
l4th ANNIVERSARY
Vashon Financial Institution
Makes Substantial
Progress

The Vashon State bank today is
celebrating the fourteenth ami
versary of its establishment in the
business life of Vashon- -Maury is
land. The bank was incorporated
by Chas. S. Wiley, now deceased,
VIM. Shoemaker and Il. w. Lewis
all Of Seattle, and II. Hansen of
this place. At the first meeting
of the board Of directors Mr.. Will
ey was elected president, Mr.
Shoemaker, vice president (Which
office he has held continuously
and Mr.. Hansen cashier. The
capital stock was $4,000.
The bank opened up for bust
ness in one of the rooms of the
brick building now occupied by
d. j. Mace. A huge five-ton safe
was shipped over from Seattle and
mloaded at Vashon Landing. To
move it required team composed
of sixteen horses hitched to one
of II. Stems big logging trucks
As the road at that time was little
more than trail up the steep hill,
two days of tremendous eXertion
We're required to land it at the top.
G. w. Blekkink was the first de-
poSitor AT the bank. and the de-
posits at the close Of the first day
totaled $224S.39.
During the first few years of the
banks existence it was a family
affair" all the work having been
done by Mr.. Hansen, his son, How
ard and his daughter, Miss Helen.
Other employees of the bank
have been Miss Ruth Parker (now
Mrs. Tweedale of Everett), Will
lis Blekkink, Miss Gladys Jacobs
and Miss Frances Blekkink. the
latter of whom is now employed.
c. F. Van Olinda, who was a stock
holder for several years previous,
entered the institution as cashier
some two and a half years ago, at
which time Mr.. Hansen assumed
the presidency
The present bank building was
constructed during the season Of
1912 and the institution was able
to move into the new quarters in
the fall. Ii was at that time and
still is, one of the most modern and
complete to be found in the aver
age country community of many
times the size of Vashon. 1t is
well lighted and well ventilated,
and has a water supply. The vault
is modern in every respect, being
strongly reinforced, and the safe
is of the best construction to be
had.
On March 81, 1919, the capital
stock of the bank was increased to
$15,000.00.
During the fourteen wears that
the bank has been established it
has had very satisfactory bust
ness on the island and. has sus-
tanned very few losses. At all
time it has paid a substantial
dividend to the shareholders. The
bank is a member of the State
Bankers association and the
American Bankers association.
The present board of directors
of the bank is composed of 7

Olinda and L. c. Beall, Jr

TAKES STAR AGENCY.

E. J. Mace has taken the agency
for the Star car, built by the Dur

model of simplicity in construc-
tion and completeness. 1t looks
and rides like "rcal" automobile
despite the fact that it sells at a
very low price. Mr.. Mace has
sold a coupe to Ralph Steen.

SPRAY MACHINE LOST.

The efforts of the Horticultural
society to secure the spraying out
fit owned by the county, and used
on the island last year, have come
to naught. When Commissioner
Paul granted the use of it for this
season, it could not be located. Ef-
forts will be made to find it that
ii may be had for immediate use.

KITCHEN STOVE NOW
PLACED IN A RECESS

In building a home in which the
standard appliances of utility and
comfort will be installed, the house
wife must not forget that electric
ranges may be built into kitchen walls
with little added expense or alteration
of original house plans. This method
of enclosing the electric range as in a
cabinet makes an odorless kitchen, as
the compartment acts as a flue.
In a recent Better Home exposition
in the middle west, just such set-in
range was shown with background
or flue, OF yellow tiles. At the top Of
the stove were ovens, at the bottom,
the warming oven and pan cabinet.
There were three electric plates or
units. An electric lamp connected to
the baking oven insured plenty of
light for cooking.

CANNOT PAINT, so IMAGERY
Is WOVEN INTO PERSIAN RUGS

| There is another thing that the Mo-
hammedan religion prohibits besides
alcohol. 1t is the use of paintings in
interior decoration. For this reason
Turkey and Persia, the land of lovely
rugs, wove their most beautiful i'm
agery into the hangings of palace
walls and balconies.
The cleaning of the rugs of a palace
or mosque of those countries, done by
hand, must be a laborious task, and
ten times more tedious because it has
to be carefully done. That oriental
rugs are more reverenced and that
less dirt and dust gets into them than
try, is evident, but the question, who
cleans the rugs of the Sultan and
Shah" is an interesting one.
American owners of oriental rugs
appreciate their beauty and value.
The care of them, in an American
home, must necessarily be one of the
most important items of housekeep-
ing. But they are not to be cleaned
by hand or broom. Careful house
keepers know that the electric suction
cleaner finds dust in delicate weaves,
which no broom or hand can pene-
trate, and that the fine threads of rugs
are straightentd out and fluffed into
new life by the use of suction energy,
instead of being raveled into shreds
or cuts and damaged by the action Of
a stiff straw broom or brush.

-SLEEPING SICKNESS

"The U. S. Public Health Service
has no statistics in regard to the
prevalence of encephalitis lethargica.
popularity known as sleeping sickness
that are sufficiently reliable and COM
plete to warrant a statement as to the
extent of the disease throughout the
United States" says Surgeon General
II. S. Cumming. The disease is re-
portable by physicians in compare
lively few states; and in the larger
part of the country the only data
available are based on newspaper re-
ports. Moreover, the disease is rather
easy to confuse with some other di-
seases; and its prevalence is there
| fore likely to be unduly magnified.
Thus, in an investigation made by
DR.. II. F. Smith, of the Public Health
Service, of the 1918 and 1919 epidemic,
% per cent of the supposed cases had
to be excluded as being really cerebro-
spinal meningitis, cerebral syphilis,
brain abcess, tuberculosis meningitis,
epilepsy, poliomyelitis, hysteria, or
acute alcoholism.
THE disease appears to be only
difficulty communicable. Not a single
secondary case is known to have oc-
Cured in the immediate families OF
the patients reported in 1918 and 1919,
although some 900 persons were ex-
posed.
THE fatality is rather high. OF the
1859 cases studied by Smith, death re-
suited in 46, or 20 per cent.
at is interesting, though perhaps
not significant, that the peak of the
outbreak of 1918 and 1919 was reach
ed in New York City in January; in
Virginia in February, and in Louis
lana, Texas and Illinois in March. In
California the largest number of cases
reported in any one month was In
April. Whether this progress was
related to the season of the year CT
was merely result of the spread of
the disease is not known. Compar-
ison with the present spread may
throw some light on the subject.
1.-THE disease is slowly in develop
ment and long in duration. The per-
iod of convalescense is variable; in
some cases recovery is completed
within two weeks after the subsistence
of the acute symptoms; but in others
it is long prolonged and leaves its
record on the mind, on certain mus
cles, and on the nerves of the cram
ium. The mental troubles, however,
usually pass off eventually.
"The appearance of encephalitis in
epidemic form has, except for one cp-
idemic reported from Austria, always
been proceeded by an epidemic OF
Influenza. Forty-six per cent of The
cases studied by DR.. Smith had had
influenza and "a per cent had not.
The influenza attack rate has been
lscribed to the lowering of the vitality
If the patients by the influenza; but
las also been explained as being real
y due to another attack of influenza
which has invaded the central nerv-
Jus system of the body. Whether or
10 there is any connection between
he two diseases has not yet been cs-
ablished."
