"At the rate we are going Il

were made for that offense," said
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed
ward Thomas today after an In

This information was included in
a statement gotten up at the re-
quest Of Judge Mcmahon, at Police
Court, for use at the hearing. be-
fore the House District COMMITTEES.
ESQ Trials Waiting.
''This il purely an estimation"
declared Mr.. Thomas, ''but since
June 70. 1923, when the court re-
quested that we separate the traf-
fic cases from all others, we have
had but 81 jury days, resulting in
the trial Of los cases, 95 per cent
of which pertained to driving while
drunk. We have $50 yet to try"
Statistics show that slightly more
than one case IL tried every jury
day, and with the use Of q jury
every nine days, during which time
between fifteen and eighteen cases
OF driving whiIe-drunk are made, the
court lags further and further be-
hind the docket.
Besides the driving.while-drun
cases waiting trial, there are forty.
five cases Of reckless driving and
twenty miscellaneous cases.
A large percentage Of the reckless
driving cases are disposed Of with
out jury. In the twenty other cases
are included violations OF the phar-
macy laws, etc.
5000 Cases Heard.
Since the beginning Of the prac-
tice of holding a preliminary hear
ing of colhding cases in the 0eElce
Of the assistant corporation counsel.
more than 5000 cases have been
heard in which no 'informations"
were filed. The findings in about
900 cases, in a corresponding length
Of time, has resulted in sending the
cases into court.
A total of $500 cases Of colliding
In which no. preliminary hearings
were held, 1,470 cases charging dr4V-
ing while intoxicated and 427 cases
of reckless driving have been flied
since June, 1928.

have been approximately $4,000
cases in all since that date invol.
wing traffic violations, out Of Q

LEAP YEAR FAILED TO
INCREASE D. C. MARRIAGES

Leap year failed to stimulate the
marriage mart in the District Of
Columbia.
A total of 5,483 marriage licenses
were issued during 1924. according
to the statisticians Of the District
court house, as compared with 5,83-
lin the preceding year.
Women have rapidly become ac-
customed to taking the initiative in
clinching the marital tie, but did
not apparently take advantage of all
their Leap Year opportunities.

covered just how much water cow
is supposed to consume. We found
the amount varied directly with the
amount of milk being produced with
the succulence of the feed and with
the temperature. The average cow In
milk, however, will require a 1O0-ib.
supply of water daily or 10 gallons.
Eckles, an American investigator
found that cows in milk drank four
times as much as cows dry and far
row.
In one instance Holstein cow pro-
ducing 100 pounds of milk daily on
a ration of Is pounds alfalfa hay, 10
pounds of corn silage and Ia to 20
pounds concentrates, drank from ZIG
to 307 pounds of water daily. Con-
Stunning such quantities of water the
Importance of pure and wholesome
supply is manifest. We remember a
neighbor of some years ago who new
er could get good winter produc-
ton from his cows altho they did
well in summer. The trouble was fin
ally located in the water supply. In
summer when on pasture, the cows
drank from a spring creek at the
back of the farm. In winter the water
came from shallow we'll in the barn
yard that was contaminated with
urine and filth. A new owner bored
well for the winter supply and new
er has had any trouble with slack
winter milk flow. Our experience of
the past week however, leads us to
believe that cows are apt to go with
less than a full supply of water un-
less it is easy and convenient to get.
1t is heavy stuff to handle in guam
tity.

SURVIVAL
WHETHER or not you believe in
w evolutionary theories that seek

WHETHER or not you believe in
w evolutionary theories that seek
to explain the source and develop
ment of life through the operation Of
the law of survival of the fittest, you
must believe in their application to
communities.
Kennewick like many other small
cities, is faced with keen competition
from all parts Of the country. Every
little city is working hard to build
itself up industrially and CONNER
cially. Many are the attractive offers
that every big business man receives
when he plans to locate factory
somewhere.
And only the city that is alive, on
its toes, with a good healthy Conn
mercial Club, is going to survive and
develop amid this competition. Only
the community composed of active,
public spirited citizens can win out
in this struggle for survival.
In other words, only the city whose
people support a Commercial Club
can grow, develop, and move forward
with the tramp of progress.
Think what an aggressive COM
mercial organization means in the
lives of all our citizens. It's officers
are constantly on the job to attract
new capital into our community. 1t
is one of the important organizations
that sells our city to prospective cit
liens.
And this bringing in of new bust
ness and industry, increases the as
sessed valuation of all property local
~. That means a reduction in your
taxes, for the richer the community,
the more industries it has, the lower
its tax rate.
And more than that it creates a
demand for more labor, and as every
one realizes, wages are determined
by the law of supply and demand.
The greater the demand the higher
the pay.
