lust A MOMENT PLEASE

Now we laugh when we remember
that some people at school told us
when We took over this column, that
we couldn't find anything to write
about. We have right to laugh be-
cause almost every week we have
been able to get more "dope" for
the paper than the printers have had
space for us or patience. Il am not
sure which,. Furthermore, the fu-
ture looks very promising with plays,
basketball games, and debates LOOM
ing within the next few months be-
sides the hundred and one little in
cidents that make up school life.
No, we are not worrying about the
quantity of news We can get, we
know that we are positively safe on
that point, but the thing that we are
going to be chiefly concerned with
is the quality of the news that will
appear under the heading of our coll
umn.
We are going to exert ourselves to
the greatest nossible extent, during
the next few months, in an effort to
make his one of the most snappy
and interesting departments of the

good shaking up which has confined
her to her bed, but we are glad to
report she is getting along nicely.
The attendance In the Sunday

doubt. But we hope to see you all

High School News

Courier Reporter. Our greatest hope
is that we may be able to so please
the people of Kennewick with our
write-ups that they will temporarily
forget about the marriages, births,
deaths, or accidents or any other
news which may appear on the front
page, until they have glanced over
the column of high school news to
find out what the students and fac
ulty of the Kennewick high are doing.
Just one word more. When you
read any of our articles that may APP
pear in the near future, no matter
how inaccurate or poorly written you
may think it is, of one thing feel
assured, it represents our best efforts.
We are not going to send anything
to the office hurriedly or carelessly
written and it is our greatest desire
that our work will meet with your
approval.

people not completely buggy would
never think of. We wondered what
was wrong with the minds of the
upper classmen and on inquiry found
out they were celebrating "Senior
Day."
No prizes were awarded to those
having the best costumes, but Roy
johnson dressed as an ancient Eng
lish yoeman, seemed to get most of
the applause. Fred Seward, dressed
as girl, was a close second. (By
the way Fred makes a pretty fair
looking sort of man if one is not
disposed to be too critical, but oh
my-he' sure makes one awful home
ly woman.) Chester Cox we think
deserves mention. Chef came rugged
up in such a perfect disguise as a
niger, that the students were about
to throw him out when he made his
identity known.
We hope the seniors will be settled
down when they get back to school
Monday and that they will not shock
the student body by any more such
radical changes in appearances.

ANOTHER TREAT IN STORE
Operettas have made such hit
here in Kennewick for the past two
years, that the music department
of the high school is planning to put
on another one sometime about the
last of February.
No actual try-outs have been held
as yet, however the play has been
selected and most of the details are
being arranged.
Miss Just and Miss Bonner are go
ing to coach the show. Miss Just will
direct the musical side of the affair
while Miss Bonner will have charge
of the dramatic end.
This operetta should be exception
ally good as the available material
for chorus is better than formerly
and there are plenty of good voices
for the leading roles.

BRITAIN PLANS
To G|RDLE
GLOBE
Representative Tells of Her
Efforts to Get Radio in
Every Section.
BY HELEN FOX,
COSMOPOLITAN NeNva Service,

NEW YORK, March 21.-A con-
tinuous belt Of radio waves around
the world. without wire connections
or retransn&ssion - that Is Great
Britain's goal in Oroadcasting. Rich
ard Temple. representative Of Brit.
ish radio stations, said today. That
goal is only a year away. he as
serted.
Great Britain intends to form an
imperial wireless chain that will
belt the world. Stations are already
built or in progro SIS of construction
at Cairo, Calcutta. Singapore, Hong
Kong. Sidney and Vancouver. With
these she has already circled the
globe.
But England aims to do more
than that. She wants to speak into
her transmitter in London and be
heard in every part Of the world.
Without any Intermediates. she
wants TO address the world.
Expect Early Success.
AT present we have reached only
as far as the middle west Of the
United States. But we are not
discouraged. 1t is the belief of the
English radio engineers that within
year the complete enlightenment Of
the whole world will be an accom-.
plished fact"
Mr.. Temple said that one of the
facts that favored radio develop
ment in England was the govern
ment control OF broadcasting.
IAN broadcasting in England is
under the control Of the govern
ment. There is only one broadcast.
ing company. That company is
composed of three parts: The Brit.
ish government, technical radio
operating companies, and radio
apparatus manufacturers. No other
organization or person is permitted
to broadcast. All British broad
casting is done through the nine
stations Of the broadcasting COM
pany. It's most powerful station is
the 2 10 in the Savoy hotel. It
is from this station that the big
experiment is being conducted"
Programs q Problem.
ndulo programs according TO Mr..
Temple, present a special problem.
The radio fans Of England ore
chiefly women.
What the world wants to listen
to is the problem which faces broad
casters" Mr.. Temple said. "Wno
listens in? WhAp do they listen in
and what do they\expect? All these
are important questions.
II believe that listeners want the
unusual-and they usually get COM
mon-place programs. There are
100000 radio fans in England. We
know this figure is accurate because
everybody owning a receiving set
has to have a license costing Is
cents. From these licenses we know
that the majority Of fans are
women.

The House leaders admit that the
Senate Is in control Of the adjourn
