VASHON ISLAND PIONEERS
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING

One Of the most enjoyable meet
ings held on the island recently
was the picnic Of the Vashon Is
land Pioneer and Historical as
ISOLATION on Saturday, June 18th,
at the Odd Fellows hall. This
was the second meeting, the first
having bee nheld at ElIisport last
year.
Over fifty people, many coming
from Seattle and Enumclaw, met
to make the day a festive one.
Early days on the island were re-
called. Frank Miner and Mrs.
John Gilman, who were among
the first settlers, told many infer
eSting and amusing stories Of the
early days.
Following an old fashioned
chicken dinner, a business meet
ing, presided over by G. A. Bar
ton, was held and officers chosen
for the ensuing year. Francis
Sherman, president; Mrs. Mary
Hansen, vice-president; and Mrs.
Ira Thompson, secretaryttreas-
mcr, compromise the officers.
An advisory committee composed
of Mrs. Chas. Van Olinda, Mrs.
Frank Bibbins, and Fay McClin-
took was appointed. This board
will select a historian for the So
ciIoty. A committee was also APP
pointed to work with the D. A. R.,
toward securing monument to
be erected to the pioneers Of Va
shon Island. 1t was voted to
charge an annual fee of fifty
cents for each member. Anyone
coming to the island IS years ago
and who has lived here one year
is eligible to membership. The
time and place of the next meet
ing will be determined by the adj
visory committee and the officers
of the association. 1t is hoped
that next year all of the pioneers
of both islands will be out to en-
Joy this annual event.

They are both men who have been
tested in big tasks and critical

time that equals in calibre and

1t is not known to the writer
just how much or how often we
should remind ourselves in this
United States of America that
with us, patriotism is not only a
universal duty but it should be
second nature. While there are
abuses and Inconsistencies in our
system of government, yet it is
so much better than anything else
in its line that we cannot fail to
be grateful that we are here and
enjoying all there is to enjoy.
The old-fashioned Fourth Of
July seems to have passed on with
its music Of the noisier sort and
its oratory, both being largely
drowned out by the exploding
firecrackers. 1t is with genuine
regret that the writer notes the
tendency to forget the "glorious
fourth" The noise and reckless
use of explosives were to be de-
plorad, oftentimes, but there
were SOME features that were
worth while that cannot be sup
piled in any other celebration.

ton concerning the beginnings,
First part Of Genesis, the frag-
mentary records in the historical
books, the poems, proverbs, proph-
estes, gospels and epistles-all are
to be viewed and accepted upon
the same high level-namely, as

We should be at least fair with
the Bible as We are with other
texts that we study and if we are
we shall not make that mistake,
for it is evident from the very ma
ture OF the contents and the au-
thors that some portions are Of
much greater Importance than
others and that some "books"
are valuable chiefly as shedding
light upon times long gone and
are not intended to be a safe
guide for our conduct today. To
be fair we must also take into ac-
count the human element in the
writers and editors Of the sacred
page; the weakness, liability to
error and inability at times to
correctly interpret the mind Of
the Infinite.
Another thing that makes for
religious "narrowness" is insist
ence upon the use of the King
James, or authorized version Of
the scriptures. Many passages
that are obscure or misleading in
this version are made plain and
helpful in the American standard
and other modern versions, and
the obsolete words and express
sions, some Of them quite often
sive are changed in the later YER
sions.
According to lingual experts,
our Savior did not give His teach
ings or His commands in classical
language but in the common
street dialect of His day. Certain
ly it is unwise to insist that only
the classical English of the early
18th century can properly pre-
serve for all time the Jewish rec
ords the Gospel story.
Many persons have made a rock
out of the theory of evolution up
on which to shipwreck faith. This
is particularly unfortunate be
cause it is so UNNECESSARY. The
idea of evolution harmonizes with
the spirit of the Bible completely
and much more with the letter of
the word also than many are
wont to believe. The Bible says
that God created the lower forms

Until further notice, Sunday
school will commence at II a. IN.
instead of 2 p. m., Mrs. Berry
superintendent.
Many cars came over ON the
south ferry last Saturday and
Sunday, and a number of camp
ing outfits were noted; also two
or three camping outfits came ov-
cr Monday evening. The Island is
surely becoming more and morc
a popular summer resort as well
as home place.
Last week Mr.. honcy-man call
ed on us again, and he evidently
had been sampling different kinds
of berries and other fruits on the
Island, for he told us that the
Island fruits have every other
place beat for flavor; especially
Strawberries. He also told us
that many other places are look
ing much worse than the Island !;
suffering more than we are from
the drought. There are many rea-
sons why we are glad I'VE are liv-
ing on "beautiful VashOn ISLE"
Mr. Bachelor, senior, who has
been east for several months Wis
ting his old home, has returned
to the Island, bringing a cousin
with him.
There is quite a bad fire burn
ing in the woods near the Sheffield
place, that started in some I'M
known way last Saturday noon.

knew her, having lived for sever
al years in this vicinity.
Miss Goldie Flowers left Tues
day of this week for California
to join her sister, Miss Ruby,
who is the domestic science dem
onstrator Of Napa county. The
Misses Flowers expect to return
to the home Of their parents on
the Cross Landing, road early in
August.
Mrs. Flowers cousin, Mrs.

A discussion of practical relig-
ion is always timely, for man is a
religious being. Probably not one
thousandth per cent of humanity
is without a spiritual outlook
from which some satisfa ction and
hope is derived.
Some one said the other day
that he was tempted to join the
Roman Catholic church because
of the "split" in hte Protestant
body. There is no more split to-
day than usual. There We're a
number of different shades Of be
lief in the day of Christ and His
immediate followers. Some, who
then Gas now) were rather dis
turbing i'm their apparent inconsis-
tencies and hopeless conclusions.
But it will be a long time before
the shepherd sleeps if he waits
for the hour when all the sheep
are safe within the fold. A GER
tain type of critter' always
finds pleasure in jumping the
fence and seeking pasture not
available to the rest Of the flock,
Unfortunately there are many
religious teachers who do not rec
ognize the fact that we should
strive to find a common ground
of faith and fellowship rather
than emphasize the "Splits" and
the differences which are often
over non-esSentials or points not
fully understood.
One cause of bitterness and di-
vision within, and disfavor with
out the Church is the insistence
of some on the literal acceptance
of every part of scripture,

CONGRESS- SMOKE SCREEN

Will the American people see
through thhe congressional smoke
screen? Will they come to a clear
understanding of certain incontro-
vertible facts?
Direct responsibility for the oil
leases and the resultant scandal
hangs around around the neck of
Congress. As one Washington cor
respondent puts it: "The most out
standing aspect of the situation is
the complete failure of Congress to
safeguard the national rights and
needs. The great trouble in the
whole matter goes back to the oil
leasing law of February %, 1920,
and the subsequent modification,
adopted at the request of Secretary
Daniels in June of the same year.
These measures were passed with
almost no debate. The result has
been to pave the way for what has
happened. Yet not serious sug-
gestion for repeal of these statutes
has been heard. Spokane Spokes-

PAID-UP INSURANCE BONUS
FOR VETERANS
Bill Passed By Congress March 10

Bill Passed By Congress March 10
By a vote of 355 to 81 the lower
house of Congress passed on Tues
day, March 18, the bonus bill pro-
viding paid-up insurance for World
War Veterans. 1t was a disap
pointment to those who hoped for a
cash bonus, but if this goes thru
it will be better than nothing, and
there is little hope that real cash
bonus will be passed by Congress
that is interested in scandal investi-
cations and pork barrel appropri
atoms.
The bill still has to pass the SEN
ate, and then go to the President.
If he refuses to sign it, it may be
possible to pass it over his veto.
The Congress vote of 355 to 81
shows more than the necessary two
thirds majority to pass it over the
Presidents veto, but it is not known
how the Senate will vote.
The measure provides that vet
Grams who were in service more than
so days will receive paid-up twenty
year endowment life insurance pol
icies. Those who were in service
less than so days will be paid 81.
day cash for each day they were in
service. For foreign service the rate
is S1.25 a day, but those serving
only SO days could not have had
time enough to serve abroad.
The amount of the insurance is
computed at 81. day for home
service and $1.25 a day for foreign
service. This is figured from April
5, 1917 to July l, 1919, the official
duration of the war. Take the date
on which you were enlisted or were
drafted, (between these dates,) and
the date you were discharged, to get
the total number of days in service.
Then total the days of home service
at 81. day, and the days of foreign
service at $1.25 a day. Subtract the
first go days (for the $50 bonus re-
ceived at discharge,) and the balance
is the amount to be computed for
your insurance. The amount is linn
tied, however, to $500 for home SER
vice, and $625 for foreign service.
Then add to the total 25 per cent,
and multiply that total by 225. This
will give you the amount of insur-
anee you will receive at the end of
20 years if you are still alive, or
which will be paid to your depen-
dents at your death. For example,
if your total is 1925, your insurance
will amount to about $1,000.

THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS

Reports have just been made of
extended Investigations into the
measurements and proportions of
the human anatomy. One phase of
these reports is especially interest
ing in teaching a vivid lesson to
women who seek to be stylish at
all costs. These Investigations have
proven that "WOMEN'S ANKLES
THICKER DUE TO TIGHT SHOES.
For generations, since women's
skirts have gradually been lifted by
changing styles and thus exposing
their feet, they have wedged them
into shoes several sizes too small
for them. They suffered untold ag-
onies by trying to have stylishly
small feet. The above mentioned
report comments as follows:
"In trying to make their feet APP
pear smaller, they hinder the prop
er activity of the ankle muscles, in
creasing their thickness. High heels
further promotes this tendency"
And so thru the generations wo-
men have developed thick, bulgy
ankles which are infinitely worse
than natural sized feet. And nothing
is more ugly in a woman than to
have bulgy, ox-like ankles. The
lesser of two evils (if you can call
natural sized feet "evils) is to allow
the feet their natural growth, and
thus keep the ankles slender and
attractive.
Slender, dainty ankles have al
ways been associated with the thoro-
bred. But they cannot be attained
by squeezing the feet Perhaps this
lesson will teach women more than
all the lectures on the i'll health re-
sulting from wearing shoes too
small. Let's hope sol

sPINELESS JELLY FISH

The Garner bill won an important
and perhaps decisive victory over
the Mellon plan in the House Of
Representatives largely because the
have no backbone. From the begin
ming they have fought on the de-
fensive when they fought at all,
and throughout the whole of the
battle they have continually shiv-
cred and whined and talked about
compromise, and have run to the
White House to tell the President
how desperate the situation was, in
stead of standing up like men and
at least making good battle for a
tax-reduction program which they
know is the only sound, scientific one
before Congress. They have cringed
like cravens, and the inevitable re-
suit has arrived.
And now having made mess of
things the Republican members are
beginning to wonder whether Presi-
dent Coolidge will sign or veto the
Garner bill if it finally passes Con-
gress in its present form.
1t is not too late to save the Mel
Ion plan if the people of the United
States will act. 1t is still within
their power to make things so hot
for the weakened and for the
constituencies in the national leg
islature that Congress will not dare
do anything but pass proper tax
reduction bill. But if the Nation
wants such law to go on the books
it must get fearfully busy and get
busy right away.-Detroit Free

RADIO NEWS

The recently organized radio club
is meeting with marked success. By
their splendid efforts in procuring
members and in selling candy, they
have at last procured splendid ra-
do set for our school. This set is a
single circuit, regenerative outfit
and works exceptionally well for a
set of this type. All of the local
stations at Philadelphia and other
neighboring cities have been re-
ceived. Among these is the famous
station, w. T. A. z. The radio was
finished the third week in February
and on the same day a concert was
given to the school. This concert
was very successful, our president,
Arthur Kitchen, being able to Sc
cure w. /. P. and w. O. o. just
as they were signing off.
The concerts which are being CIV
en- by the club every week are not
only furnishing amusement and fun
netting some money for the club.
Admission to these concerts is free
to members of the club, but to nom
members, an admission fee of ten
cents is charged. At the first con-
cert, which was February 81, about
two dollars and half was taken
in. These concerts have had an av-
erage attendance of about forty per-
sons. Perhaps you all think that now
since we have procured the set we
are no longer in need of money, but,
friends, let us not forget that it
costs money to maintain a set.
Therefore let. us keep up our work
of obtaining members.
