ley-Bert was guest at the recital
at the Belgian Embassy on Tues
day afternoon IN celebration of King
Albert's birthday welcome guest
indeed. as her father had been Am
baSsador of France to Belgium. Her
grandfather, M. Bert, was for years
governor of French Indo-China and
she spent much of her childhood
and young girlhood in the Orient.
Consequently she has comprehen-
siye knowledge of Oriental art, and
one of the happiest hours of her
brief visit in Washington was
in the lovely things that have been
brought together there.
Mile. Chailley-Bert is a piano
also studied under Alfred Cortot,
she expects later to take up the
harpsichord, that picturesque old
world instrument which the great
Polish artist has revived and made
so popular. 1t will be remembered
that Landowska was introduced to
Washington by Mrs. Townsend at
Gales and played here afterward, at
a musicale at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. William Phillips. She
has had great success every time
she has appeared and I'm told she
concerts next season.
So, successful were Mrs. Town
sends musical mornings that she
has definitely decided to repeat the
experiment next year. probably hav-
ing six recitals instead of five and
running in one or two during De-
cember She is going to New York
the last, of this week to remain a
fortnight and will probably outline
tentative program for next season
during her visit. John Barclay. the
young British baritone, is another
artist introduced ITO Washington by
Mrs. Townsend, who has played
several return engagements" and
everybody is looking forward TO
next season with great enthusiasm
and with a keen interest in Mrs.
Townsend's finds

LOCATE OWNER OF CAR
ABANDONED NEAR HERE

Abandoned on the Othello road
about eight miles, east of the White
/ Bluffs ferry, Ford touring car was
found last week by Ferryman M. M.
Wiehl and brought to his place at the
river. The car had plenty of gas, oil
and water and only the license plates
and switch key were missing. Mr..
Wiehl crossed the car from the Ben
ton to the Grant county side at about
S a. m. on May 29 and being suspi-
cious of the looks of the driver made
a note of the license number. One of
the figures on each of the serial and
engine numbers had been chiseled off
and this caused some confusion in
tracing the owner of the car h o
proved to be Verne Parr of Grand
view. Mr.. Parr said the car had been
stolen in Yakima on the evening of
May 20. Sheriff James Shepherd came
over from Prosser Saturday and took
the car back with him to deliver to
Mr.. Parr.
The license plates had been chang
ed and in. tracing down the number
on the car when it crossed the river
here it was found that that license
had been issued to man in Spokane
but when Spokane officers looked on
the street number given the man had
moved from that address about two
weeks previous and the people there
said they did not know where he had
gone.

MAKING GOOD

Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Tromanhausef,
accompanied by Mrs. Tromanhauser's
mother, Mrs. Annie Helcom, arrived

friends hete until Sunday. Mr.. Tro-
manhauser is making good in his
chosen profession annd has been re-
employed for his third year as an
instructor in the Pullman high school
where he teaches biology and general
science. His decision to remain in
Pullman is influenced by his desire to
continue his post graduate work in
the state college where he will soon
receive his masters degree. He is
doing considerable work also under
the th-Hughes plan, cooperating
with the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture through the extension service
of the state college.
As an evidence Of the class of
work Mr.. Tromanhauser is doing g
along agricultural lines, one of toe
club judging teams trained by him
last year tied for first bonors with
California team at the Portland
international Livestock Exhibition
in contest which included thirty
teams, and won large silver cup
and gold medal. An individual
member of the club took first in q
stock raising contest which was
open to all classes. with an Aber'
deem Angus steer. The Smith.
Hughes team, also under the super
vision Of Mr.. Tromanhauser. took
fourth place among % others.

TnlNNiMo APPLES

Thinning crews are at work this
week in the apple orchards. Most OF
the trees where there are any apples
at all, have to be thinned as the fruit
is mostly in the tops of the trees
or set in clusters. Since the June
drop pretty good estimate can be
made of the size of the crop. Fruit
men who have been over the orchards
say that the apple tonnage in this val
ley this year will be about IS per cent
of an average crop or about 100 cars
at White Bluffs and So at Hanford
There are few orchards that will
have nearly a full crop while there
are a few that will have practically
nothing. In spite of consistent spray
ing some Of the growers say that the
worms are bad this year and orchard
lists are cautioned by fruit authorities
to watch trees carefully and to spray
at the proper time if they expect to
have reasonably clean crop.

FIND BODY OF BOY
DROWNED AT VANTAGE

The body of Harold 'Lyttle. the II
year old boy who was drowned when
he fell off the Vantage ferry about 8
miles above Beverly on May goth,
was found last Saturday morning on
a bar near the Won Herberg ranch at
Ver7sita. The body had evidently
been there for severay days, having
been lodged on that point by the re-
ceding waters of the river. Sheriff.
James Shepherd and William Guern-
sey, undertaken, came over Saturday
and took the body to Prosser to pre-
pare it for burial. They decided an
inquest was not necessary. Word
was sent to the father, E. M. Lyttle,
that the body had been found and he
passed through White Bluffs Satur-
day evening on his way to Prosser to
take it to Quincy for burial.
The tragedy accurred on the after
noon of May goth, when the little
boy, who was playing on the ferry,
attempted to push a log away from
the ferry with an oar. The log turned
over causing him to lose his balance
and he fell into the rive3 the current
carrying him under the ferry. He
was discovered in the water. after he
had passed under the ferry by his
father and the ferryrnan, and they
attempted to reach him in row boat.
When he came up the last time they
were close enough to get pole under
him but as there was no hook on the
pole he slipped off and sunk from
sight for the last time.
The boys mother and three sisters
died about three years ago during a
flu epidemic and he with a brother
had been making his home since
that time with his grandmother in
Quincy white attending school. His
father has charge of the maintainence
of the road between Beverly and
Vantage.
