The Orthodox Patriarchate OF
Jerusalem, now under Patriarch
Damianos, has exercised steward
ship over the Holy Places through
the centuries. Previous to the
world war 64 per cent of the in
come of the Patriachate was from
Russian sources, and now this has
been cut off. as has the income
from Roumanian lands seized un-
der agrarian laws AS a result the
Patriarchate is heavily in debt,
and the shrines must pass from
the hands of the Mother Church
OF Christendom unless aid Is given.

Washington Names

Mount Saint Helens in Skamania
County, Washington, was called by
the Indians, Louwala-C Clough, mean
ing smoking mountain" according
to "The Origin of Washington Geo.
graphic Names" by Prof Edmond s.
Meany of the University of Washing
ton department of history.
The mountain is said to have been
an active volcano as late as 1912.
In May, 1892, Captain George Van
couver observed it from Puget Sound.
In the following October, while off
the shore near the mouth OF the Co.
lumbia River he saw it again and
named it 'in honor of His Majesty's
Ambassador at the Court Of Madrid"
Mount Adams, in the southeastern
part of Yakima County, has an ele-
vation Of 12,307 feet The first men,
tion of this mountain was made by
Lewis and Clark on April 8, 1906,
who refer to 1t as very high
bumped mountain" but do not give
1t a name.
Hall J. Kelley in 1889 undertook
to call the Cascades the Presidents
Range" and to rename the peaks for
individual presidents. In this scheme
Mount Saint Helens was to be Mount
Washington" and Mount Hood was
to be Mount Adams after John Ad-
ans and 1t was proposed to call
Mount Mclaughlin Mount J. @. Ad-
ans" The Wilkes Expedition. 1841,
shows on it's charts most Of the
peaks but these do not include Mount
Adams. The Pacific Railroad Re-
ports of 1853 chart the mountain and
refer to 1t frequently by the name
now in common use.

Electricity Cheap Commodity

Measured by actual value to the
people utility service Is the cheapest
thing in the world
An illustration of this is given In a
statement just published in the city
Of Bellingham
The local light company there has
6,377 residence light customers, and
1,011 users Of comm ercial lighting.
OF the 6,377 residence users, 5,357,
or S4.O1 per cent use less than two
dollars worth of light per month, the
average being $1.02 per month.
Less than 16 per cent of the total
or only 1,020 Of the 6,377 use more
than $1.50 of electricity per month,
and the average of all domestic light
users in that territory is only $132
per month.
The average monthly bill Of the
1,011 store and sign light users is
only $S.29 per month.
What, indeed, is cheaper than cleo
tricity? And why do light users per-
NIT politicians to mislead them on
the costs of utility service?

the expense with the smallest imme-
diate outlay of cash expenditure.
It's provisions-paid-up endowment
life insurance policies, home and farm
aid, vocational training aid and land
settlement-are so arranged that the
expense would be distributed over
20-year period without the necessity
of adding to the nations debt big,
wieldy bond issue.
And yet these provisions would be
just the ones to meet the actual ex-
listing needs Of the vast majority Of
those men and women who, since
their honorable service with the army
and navy, have been struggling alone
on their own resources to equalize
their positions with those who did
not so serve.
There is only one thing now for
the American public to consider with
regard to adjusted compensation. and
that is the conscientious objections,
big business has to paying the bill
for it, and the effect the conscientious
objectors in the big interests are
having upon Congress and the gov
eminent.
Just suppose for a moment that
every veteran when he landed In
France had said: re for you, Uncle
Sam, but this is as far as can 60:
cannot afford to go up to the
trenches!"
| Had that impossible thing happen
ed, where now would be the war
| lsofits Of American industry?
| The American war veteran didn't
draw line on his sacrifices, which
were real ones; there's no sound rea-
son why the American business man
or any one else should draw line
now against sacrifices which are
largely imaginary to help the veteran
recover his place In the sun.
Adjusted compensation will yet pre-
vail.

WENATHEE.-The Knights Temp
lar at Wenatchee certainly believe
in grabbing Old Father Time by the
forelock. They have sent out invita-
tions to all Of the communicates who
will travel over the Great Northern
on their way to the triennial conclave
to be held in Seattle in July, 1925,
asking them to stop off and see the
Wenatchee Valley on their way
through. Arrangements will be made
to drive all of the members of the
various parties from Wenatchee to
Leavenworth where they can rejoin
their train. Already one command
cry has accepted this invitation and it
Is expected that over 300 Knights
Templar will be on board the special
train. The Great Northern railway
officials will cooperate in this work.
The trains will be held sufficiently
long to enable the visitors to make
the trip to Leavenworth by auto.
Officials Of the Yakima Valley
Traffic C Credit Association received
word recently from R. G. Phillips,
head OF the International Apple Ship
pers, that Yakima was awarded first
prize in the national apple week con-
test for the best display in cities un-
der 100000 population in the United
States. A silver trophy is on the way
here as prize. More than fifty cities
entered exhibition.
Another valuable Washington crop
is now being harvested-the annual
midwinter gathering of salmon eggs
by state fishery officials. Under the
direction Of Ernest Seaborg, state SUI
pervisor of fisheries, workmen have
been sent to hatcheries throughout
Western Washington to intercept the
salmon migrating up the streams to
spawn. When caught in nets in the
streams, the salmon are quickly re-
moved to nearby hatchery, where
the eggs are scientifically removed
and hatched. AS soon as the baby
salmon are of sufficient size they are
liberated in the same stream in which
salmon, after swimming out to their
unknown haunts in the Pacific Ocean,
their parents were captured. 1t is
one of natures laws that these baby
return exactly four years later from
their ocean wanderings to their pa
ternal stream to spawn and die SUI
pervisor Seaborg announces that the
1928 egg harvest will be larger than
in any previous year.

in many cases brought as high a
wage as was previously paid skilled
labor. The skilled laborer, in hun
dreds of thousands Of cases, made
more money in two days Of industrial
work than was paid the soldier for a
month of fighting in the trenches Of
France.
So high were the wages paid in
the war time industrial plants of
the country that all through the civil
fabric Of employment, an effort was
made to push up wages and salaries
outside of industry to keep them
more nearly in proportion. This con-
sideration did NOT extend to the
soldier. He was out there some
where either fighting or getting ready
to fight: he was under military con-
troll and had to take what was given
him, so why worry about him?
We'll do the right thing by him
when he gets back!" That was the
talk. The soldier believed in it and
trusted in it, that when he was put
back in civil life again, something
would be done for him by a grateful
country to help him catch up with
the rest of the civil population. AS
long as he was in the army or navy,
it didn't matter so much; but back
home, with the unifrom cast aside,
the war won and over, perhaps a
girl waiting to help him establish a
home and a family-wel1, that was
different.
During the first session of Con-
gress after the war ended, Sc differ
needs of the discharged veterans.
There was a general agreement
that the veteran needed help and
should receive some form Of aid
from the government. True, it
would add another item to the stag
gering cost Of the war, but then sup
posing the government had been
obliged to pay its soldiers and sail
ors So and $40 day, or say, even
$50 instead of $50 a month!
Seek Legion Aid
Where the members of Congress
could not agree was in the manner
of raising the funds necessary to fl
nance an adjustment for these vet
Grams. 1t was then that the newly
organized American Legion was ask
ed to help in solving the puzzle.
The plan of adjusted compensation
that seemed most likely to be of the
greatest help to the veteran and at
the least cost to the government has
been repeatedly before Congress and
is still before Congress, having been
reintroduced with certain amend
ments in the Watkins bill, presented
at this session on December s, 1928,
in the House of Representatives and
referred to the ways and means COM
mittee.
The time when a cash bonus for
the veteran would have tided him
over the first rough spots in read
iusting himself to civil life, has long
since past He has been for four
years doing the best he could to re-
adjust himself at his own expense
and without any immediate hope Of
help from other sources, while the
government debated and argued and
harangued over the question of who
would pay the bill Congress has re-
peatedly recognized the fairness and
the need Of adjusted compensation
for the veteran, just as it recognized
and paid compensation to its civil
service employees, to it's war con-
tractors and to the railroads. Only
it has failed to, settle with the vet
erans who were taken from civil
jobs to fight the nations military
battles.
Last year an adjusted compensa-
ton measure similar to the Watkins

By HINTON D. JONEZ
Commander American Legion
of Washington

Nearly ten years ago, shot was
fired in Europe that echoed around
the world.
To Americans, it meant simply an
other newspaper story To Europe,
it meant the beginning Of war.
Not until nearly seven years ago
had conditions in the European war
reached such state OF international
riot that the government of the Uni
ted States felt it time to take a hand
Until seven years ago, the war in
Europe, aside from the munitions
business 1t produced for this coun-
try, did not materially affect the Ann
erican people. Europe had been pre-
pairing for war for years; the coun-
tries involved had been steadily
building up great war machines out
of their citizens and their industries
and when war came it did not find
the belIigerents unprepared.
But peace for many years had been
the lot of this country. The people
had foreseen no war for themselves.
The United States had spent its time
and money in building up great
commercial and industrial system: 1t
was prepared to capitalize upon the
war demands of Europe, but 1t was
not prepared to fight any military
battles Of its own.
Seven years ago, the American
government found it had exhausted
a maximum Of patience in attempting
to protect American rights upon the
high seas by diplomatic phrase.
The point had been reached where
further talk and written notes were
futile and nothing but military force
could establish the integrity Of this
nation.
An Overnight Change
To change, almost overnight, a
country of 110,000,809 people from a
country of long-established peace to
one of war is an immense task.
Industrially, the United States was
ready for war; but in military sense,
the road to war was a long uphill
pull :.
The only thing the United States
could do, once the step Of war was
decided upon, was to manufacture
soldiers out of several millions OF its
civilians. This it did.
In a little more than a year and q
halt our government took out Of
civil life about 100000 men-young
men, many Of them established in
trades, businesses and professions;
many still students in schools and
colleges; most of them unmarried,
but good many having others de-
pendent in whole or in part upon
them for support.
These 100000 men, all aside from
it's soldiers and sailors schooled in
the fundamentals of war, constituted
the new army and navy of the Un!-
ted States for the period of emer-
gency. They were to drill and work
and fight and kill just the same rs
the skilled soldiers and sailors Ct
Europe. For this service they were
to receive standard base pay, of
$50 month.
Thirty dollars a month, less aIlot-
ments to dependent relatives, less in
surance premiums and less other
items deducted in the course Of
events. was what was paid these
100000.
High Civilian Waues

things different. Work was plenti-
full, with 100000 men away from
their customary jobs. Common labor
