DEMOS MEET
HERE SATURDAY
Mayor Hill to Address Ben.
ton County Demo-
cratic Convention

That Benton Cuonty's delegation
Seattle May 2, will go uninstructed
to the Democratic state convention In
as to a presidential choice, is the
opinion of prominent democrats OF
Kennewick. While the recent swing
of Mr.. McAdoo through Washing
ton may have influenced sentiment in
his favor it is improbable that this
states delegation to the national con-
vention will be instructed for him.
There is a general feeling throughout
the state, local democrats say, that
the Washington delegation should go
to the national convention uninstruct-
ed.
The Benton County convention will
be held in the Kennewick Commercial
club rooms at 1870 pm. Saturday
of this week. 1t will be mass con-
vention and all democrats of the
county will be eligible to take part.
Thirteen delegates and thirteen al
ternates to the state convention are
to be chosen. ~.S
The convention will be addressed
by Mayor Ben F. Hill of Walla Wal
la who is a candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination for governor.

VULCAN THE GOD OF FIRE
Foroer Of ThundsrboIts for Jupiter
When Hurled by Mother
From Olympus.

Vulcan is In classic mythology The
god Of fire. the patron Of blacksmiths
and workers in metals. and the armor-
er Of the gods. He was the son Of
Jupiter and Juno. or. according Ia
some accounts. Of Juno alone. Owing
to his weakness and lameness. he In.
CURED the displeasure Of his mother
and was cast by her from Olympus.
After dwelling for nine years with
Thetis and Eurynome In q grotto be
meath Oceanus, Vulcan returned To
Olympus, but, was cast out second
time for presuming to side with his
mother In quarrel between her and
Jupiter. He fell on the island of
Lemnos and there set up his FORCES ;
but afterward removed them to the
volcanic islands Of Lipari, near Sicily,
where he forged the thunderbolts of
Jupiter and other marvellous imple-
ments
Vulcan was sometimes called Mulch

LONDON LOSING ITS VOICE
Famous Old Street Cries Of the Me-
tropolis Are Dying Out One
After Another.


tropolis Are Dying Out One
After Another.
Even In London, most conservative
Of cities, one by one the famous old
street cries are dying out.
In Shakespeare's day the streets
were musical with this chanting OF
tradesmen, calling their wares each
to his own particular lifting tune.
The last to be heard In modern Lon
don is that Of the lavender peddlers:
"Sweet lavender, sweet lavender!
wont you buy my sweet lavenderf
sixteen branches for penny"
It's still heard on the side streets.
but its days are numbered. It's easier
to walk to drug store and get moth
balls.
Just as the street cries are dying
out, so also are the London flower
girls-famous In song and story-dis-
appearing.
Once they were to be seen all over
the city-these "glrls" whose ages
ranged from sixteen to sixty. Picadil-
ly Circus has been their last strong
hold. But there are signs that they're
being ousted even from this favored
spot. Men, mostly ex-soldiers out OF
regular jobs. are now selling flowers.

Up to recently the United States

1921 Canada supplied 3.4 and 3.S pei
