the investigation by the United States

Throws Of Poison. -
However, Harvard, Yale and even
Columbia university professors have
condemned the sale of the gasoline,
declaring it throws OFF lead poison
which is slowly absorbed into the sys-
TENS Of those who come into contact
with it. The poison gasoline made by
the ethyl company gives those ex-
posed Brights disease, diphtheria, tu-
berculosis, insanity and other fatal
diseases, physicians state.
Even the investigation by Columbia
University was unfavorable to the sale
of the looney gas. Columbia Univer-
sity is closely connected with the in
terests backing the sale Of the new
gasoline, and, the Columbia investi-
cation was. paid for by the Ethyl cor
poration, which made contract with
Columbia to conduct the researches.
Two Columbia workers were over
come by lead poisoning during the
course of the experiments.
Columbia Report Suppressed.
The Columbia report has so far
bene suppressed, having been sent to
Surgeon General Cummings at Wash
ington. 1t is known to be unfavorable
to the sale Of the gasoline.
This gasoline has been sold in
twenty-seven states despite the criti-
cism leveled against it and the known
deaths of at least score of persons
from the effects of the gas.
Government Involved.
The sale of the gasoline was "in-
vestigated" by the United States gov
eminent, which, thru the bureau of
mines, issued a favorable report on
the sale of the gasoline. This inves-
tigation was also paid for by the Nor
gan-Rockefeller combination.
AS soon as the criticism of the gov
ernment's. report exposed its bias in
favor OF the corporation, the bureau
Of mines issued a statement that the
favorable report was only a progress
report" and that further investiga-
ton now develops that raw tetraethyl
gasoline is so dangerous to handle
that it may be menace to the pub
lie"
officials of the United States public
health service now say that the report
of the bureau of mines never should
have been issued without more ade-
Quate explanation" and an independ-
ent investigation may be conducted by
the health department of the govern
ment. e1fe

feature, 1t is evident that the Tribune
has been misinformed or lies deli
berately. That hotel owners favor
sanitation is both false ann ridicu-
lous. The hotel owners do not care
a continental about sanitation; their
object is to cheat the public; nothing
less. Their motto is profit and more
profit and the public be damned.
While the hotel owners are speak
ing of sanitation, let us ask Ernest
y. Stevens, president of the Hotel
La Sale some questions concerning
the filthy conditions in that kitchen.
Here are some Of the facts:
Cooks and Walters Dressing Room.
The conditions there are unspeak-
able. Poor ventilation, the rooms are
dirty and the smell cannot be en-
dured. In the dressing room there
are no chairs and cooks and wait
resses sit on boxes. There is no place
to rest and it is a daily occurrence
to see the tired employees lay on the

Towels. fsA
Stevens may say all that he wishes
regarding sanitation, but in his no.
tel we are faced with the facts. There
the employees are denied the use of
clean towels, even to wipe their per
spring faces. Is that sanitary?
Food.
Bread dressing that is served to
the public is soaked in a filthy sink
where the pots and pans are Washed
Is this sanitary? Soup meats lay on,

result that they get covered with saw
dust, flies and other dirt, all of which
goes merrily into the soup pot. Is
this sanitary? ms

Like Shaving a Jackass.
The laws can be compared with the
case of the Italian peasant who took
a jackass to the barber to have him
shaved. He had hoped that in this
manner he would stop the growth of
hair on the animals body. All went
well for few days and then the peas
ant discovered, owing to new crop
of hair on the jackass, that he was
wasting time and money. Laws and
crime are in the same case. The
more laws, the more crime and vice
versa. Crime is an evil Of the pres
emit capitalist system and cannot be
checked by any system Of law max
ing.
Nevertheless the politicians keep
at the old business Of making new
laws. Recently we read in the pa
pers that State Representative Theo-
dore d. Smith has introduced in the
Illinois legislature bill providing
that cooks should have as much
knowledge Of gastronomy as plum
Der does. about installing bath tub.
We are also told that the leading
hotel owners favor the bill. They like
the feature requiring that chefs and
cooks wash their hands frequently
during working hours.
From the same source we learn
that Greek restaurant owners oppose
the bill because it infringes that
which they regard as their rights.
An interference With Exploitation.
Nick Stamatapolous, 2009 West
Roosevelt Road, in speaking of this
bill, said: 1.-THE foolishest law ever
brought up in Illinois. The law
should say how we train our cooks. 1t
Is none Of the business of the state
of Illinois how run my kitchen.
That's my business and If my Gus
toners like my food what business
has the politicians sticking their nos
es in my kitchen?" gisaa
Other Greek restaurant owners use
more violent language regarding the
bill. The principle reason why the
Greeks oppose the bill is because its
enforcement would interfere with the
employment Of newly arrived immi-
grants in their restaurants. All these
owners are quite conscious of the
fact that it is comparatively easy to
exploit a new arrival. Another rea-
son is because they employ non-slzill-
ed cooks. They are great believers
in the open shop. The hours are IL
each day, seven days week and
very inadequate wages. 1s
Low Wages and Poor Cooks.
The Greek restaurant owners find
1t difficult to secure efficient cooks
at the wages they are willing to pay
and for this reason are opposed to
the proposed legislation. eN
When the Chicago Tribune states
that the leading hotel owners favor
the bill on account Of its sanitary

MAKE IT THE GREATEST

A RE Americans unpatriotic? mo
we answer recalling the loyalty
of all our people during the war. But
IN spite of this national gallantry in
times of emergency, we impress for
eigners as being nation of people
Indifferent toward our government,
our country's traditions and ideals.
July Fourth, our independence day,
is too generally regarded as mere
holiday chance to get out of work
for time and merely enjoy our
selves. We rarely pause during the
day for moments serious thot on
the duty We owe in perpetuating the
ideals set forth by our forefathers al
most a century and half ago. We
are so intent on having good time
that we give little heed to the matter
of patriotism.
So the editor of the Courier-Report-
er urges the citizens of Kennewick
to think for moment on the more
serious side Of the July Fourth cele-
bration. Ask yourself, 'Why are we
observing this day? What is my duty
toward the Republic founded on that
July Fourth back in '76?"
We do not expect you to 60 around
with a long face seriously bordering
over matters of government when
your friends are enjoying themselves
We want you to have, as good time
as possible on this July Fourth.
But take moment or two to make
the day seem worth something. Re-
member we need patriotism during
times Of peace as well as during times
of war. Citizenship in America of
fers tremendous opportunities and
great privileges to everyone. But it
also carries with it certain duties.
If the people of Kennewick will do
this during the day, this will be the
greatest July Fourth celebration in
our history.

on an international commission to
evolve and direct the great advertis-
! ing plan The program would extend
over five years and there would oe
no issue of a newspaper or magazine
or motion picture exhibition without
a peace advertisement.
The Advocate believes the program
can readily be financed. Let each
nation, it urges, put into the adver-
Using spot" the cost of a new bat
tleship, new division or some, other
war unit, and the finances will be
entirely and adequately taken care
Of, The experts would prepare the

to the average citizen of each coun-
try-the man on the street who either
goes to war himself in case of such
emergency, or must send his son or
other male relatives, if he is outside
the age limit.
The Advocate assumes-and prob |
ably correctly-that the man on the
street in any country shudders to !
think of another war and it's sacri-
fees and suffering. Advertising ex-
perts know how to address their ap-
peal for peace to him and with a per-
sistent hammering home of the peace
plea for five years, so the Advocate
thinks, he will be SO thoroly "sold"
on the idea of peace that it. will be
to stampede him into an
other conflict. 1t is an interesting n.y.

MAKING ADVERTISING
, EFFECTIVE

DEGARDLESS of how your adver-
~ Using money is spent, always let
it function under budget system, so
that results of present efforts may
be checked to serve as a guide for
future advertising campaigns" adj
vises C. C. C.. Tatum, president of the
Los Angeles Realty Board in an adj
dress before the National Associa-
tion of Real Estate Boards at its an
nual convention in Detroit, Michigan
latey. Mr. Tatum said, pointing out
the value of working out definite
plan. "Hit-or- miss, sporadic and ir-
revelant advertising will not build
up recurrent clientele.
s'The Importance of the newspaper
as an advertising medium cannot be
over-estimated. The bill board, the
direct mail and other advertising
should tie in with jhe newspaper
copy. Il
Cali advertising, y Mr.. Tatum en-
phasized, Ito be effective, to net re-
suits, to be worth even its initial cost,
must be, above all things, truthful,
honest and Straightforward"
Mr.. Tatum laid stress upon insti-
tional advertising, the advertising of
service, dependability, thoroness,
courtesy, attention to detail on the
part of the real estate broker.
''The classified columns of the news
paper offer an effective and compar
atively inexpensive medium for the
Realtor. This type Of advertising
is one of the most productive forms
for the broker who deals largely in
completed homes and individual lots.
The classified ad is direct salesman
A properly written want ad should
ell the size Of the house, its exact
location and its price," he said, stress
ng the Importance of accuracy and
.ruthfulness in classified advertis-
ng.
The advantages and proper use of
display advertising for subdivision
signs, direct by mail adver-
Using and space in real estate journ-
lis were outlined and discussed in the
