ment of the people in giving express

tarism of the practical idealism char
acteristic of this nation from it's
humble beginnings.
"The American Red Cross has been
tested in war and the aftermath of

strument for the alienation of suf-
fering and betterment Of human life

KENNEWICK
MEN SPEAKERS
Moulton and Muldrow to
Speak at Irrigation
Institute

NJ. NJ. Moulton and w. C. Muldrow
of this city are to be speakers at the
twelfth annual meeting Of the Wash
ington Irrigation Institute in Yakima
November %.
Mr.. Moulton, who is first vice-pres-
ident of the Institute has been select
ed to give the response to the ad-
dress Of welcome opening morning.
Mr.. Muldrow will speak at the af-
ternoon session of the second day on
Engineering Economics of Recla-
nation Development"
A feature of the entertainment
program will be visit to Rimrock,
az miles west of Yakima where the
United States Reclamation service Is
constructing the highest earth and
rock dam in the world, costing $5,-
000, 900 and impounding enough wa
ter to irrigate 10000 acres. It is ex-
pected that the work on this great
structure will be finished by January
1.
1t is fitting that the meeting should
be held in Yakima, birthplace of
the organization. The idea of having
a statewide and permanent organi-
cation for the promotion of irriga-
ton development was first suggested
by Chas. II. Swigart, now manager of
the Yakima Fruit Growers associa-
ton, then supervising engineer of
federal irrigation work, at meeting
of engineers and employees called by
F. II. Newell, former director of the
u. S. Reclamation Service, in the
federal court room at Yakima thir-
teen years ago.
The Washington Institute was
formed one year later and in the IL
years of its existence has been a po-
tent factor in the upbuilding of the
state. To it belongs the credit for
the Irrigation code, covering the fun
damental basis Of water rights upon
which irrigation depends, reclamation
and land settlement laws passed by
the 1917 session Of the State Legisla-
ture, improvement Of the irrigation
district laws, and in the intelligent
and persistent promotion of more
active program of national reclama-
ton.

pOF. CVPID CAUSES
 BIG LOSS OF TIME

NEW YORK, Feb. o.-Love laughs at education as well as 1Ocksmiths, judg- ing from report made to the board of superintendents by Dr. William ]. O'Shea, associate superintc ndent in charge of matters pertaining to the public school teachers of this city. Dr. O'Shea's figures show that maternity among such teachers recently has smashed all records.
 At present 600 public school teachers of New York city are taking time off on account of new or expected arrivals on the earth-plane. The regulations require that, in maternity cases, teach ters must take two years off without pay, which puts the present situation squarely up to Mir. D. Cupid, as no teacher would deliberately take two years of her salary away from herself.
 Since September l last two teachers have applied for maternity leaves of absence. This represents the average number of such leaves of absence for an entire year. If the ratio continues until September 1 next there will be more than twice as many school teach CT mothers in that twelvemonth as in any previous year.
 Dr. O'Shea said he could not tell the number of married school teachers now employed without much investigation and figuring, as he has in his posses sion only records of the changes of names us the, women teachers find mates. He feels sure however, that among the total of about 22,0O0 wom- en teachers employed by the board of education, the number of married wom- en is not so great but what Cupid may :. take unto himself an unusual credit for the record he has recently set up among fhem

CHATHAM. x. J.. Feb. GA tree has been discovered that wears hat It is felt hat and .a good deal re- mains of it, considering that from all indications the tree has been wesring it for the last 9 years. In a swamp near Chatham, N. J.. stands the 20 foot cedar that claims the distinction.
 That hat circles the trunk of the re- dar at Il height of abont five feet from the ground. The trunk pushes straisht up through the crown of the hat for 15 feet. and q pair uf sturdy branc. ss grown out since tbea tree inipaled .he hat are at q distance of abont foot above il. f
 Despite it's age and weathe beaten green hue, the hat remains in excellent condition and, according to the opinion of Il manufacturer, in it's present posi- ton will last indefinitely. A tree ex- pert, in trying to ascertain the length of time the hat had girdled the cedar s four-inch trunk. made comparisons by use of trunk section of similar tlimen- siOns. His measurements showed q growth of about m eighth of an inch in the trunk year. from which he es- timated that It would take more chan 5O years for the cedar to enlarge sui ficiently to break through the hat and cause it to fall.
 The make of hat worn 50 long by the cedar is not disclosed.

TAUGHT MY SWEETHEART HOW TO DRIVE ' S,.s$

I TAUGHT MY SWEETHEART HOW TO DRIVE I taught my sweetheart how to drive My little Hank-mobile, |, Though grim forebodings chilled my
 soul
 When I resigned the wheel. [ II taught my sweetheart how to drive, Despite my apprehension, Despite my fear of accidents,
 And fearful nervous tension. She pushed the pedal into low,
 And pressed the starter button tFor punishment, that little car
 Was aptly termed a gl1tton.) She let the pedal back to high,
 And grimly set the brake, @- And meanwhile gave the engine all
 The gas that it could take. She killed the motor fifty times,
 And almost wrecked us twice, And slipped the clutch and slid the
 wheels, x And smiled at my advice. And yet a week had scarcely passed, Since first she had been, shown, Before she felt quite competent
 To drive the car alone. With anious heart and bated breath I watched, as forth she sailed. But when I saw her coming back,
 My dropping splits rallied.
 Think of it! They've. been manu. tomobile in terms of transportation rather than in terms of taxation. solely If you want to really advertise your state favorably, Sthink of ways and means of leaving the automobile tour ist in harmonious frame of mind about it.
