serving one OF the biggest danger signs
we know of in the air.
Must Change at Once.
This is one sign most feared by
airShip men. 1 have seen this several
times in my past experience and moth.
ing is more certain than that the
course of the ship should be changed
at once"
1t was when Anderson observed this
sign that he advised Comdr. Zachary
Lansdowne to turn to the south, but
the captain decided to hold his course
until there was "a definite concrete
danger sign"
Recalled to the stand after his SEN
sational testimony yesterday, Heiner
again was cross examined by Lieut.
Comdr G. E. Rosendahl, senior sur
viving officer and one of those held
by the witness to have failed to heed
danger signals long before the ship
got into the storm.
Mistake in Judgment.
Asked as to what he thought of
Comdr. LanSdowne as an aerologist
Heinen said that officer was we'll
versed in the subject, but that on
this occasion he made a mistake in
judgment because he had not a wide
enough experience in his past.
What is your opinion of Comdr.
Lansdowne as a pilot?" asked Rosen-
dahl
MY opinion was of the highest, and
still is Heinen said.
Switching back to the weather,
Rosendahl asked:
DO you consider it safe to fly
through a thunderstorm?
II certainly do not" Heinen re-
turned.
Two Courses Open.
The witness said two courses were
open at the time the danger signals
were observed, first, by steering a
course so the ship would stay without
drift; second, to let the ship under all
circumstances drift to the left.
Was there any pilot In the United
States except yourself who could have
saved the Shenandoah ?" asked Rosen-
dahl.
Yes, Comdr. Lansdowne for one,"
was the reply.
Coming back to the valves and
helium. Rosendahl wanted to know if
Heinen during his time with the Shen-
andoah had ever noticed a hesitancy
to valve helium.
Even in my. own BRAIN" the witness
said, there was registered the neces-
sity to save helium and not to valve
up to the last possible moment"
Question of Judgment.
Then it was a question of judg-
ment when to valve?"
Yes
Were you or any one called to ac-
count for valving helium?'
Not in the OPEN
Capt. Heinen disagreed with Col.
William Mitchell that there should
have been parachutes on the Shen.
andoah.
Il would not permit any parachutes
in an airship." he said with empha sis.
Il might modify that by saying I
would not allow any of the present
type to be placed aboard the ship"

mo DAMAGE so FAR
TO FRUIT CROP HERE

The first harbingers Of spring, the
robin redbreast, has made his appear
arce; the meadow lark's song dis
turbs the slumbers of the late sleepers,
and the garden fans say that the first
tulips and daffodils are peeping above
the ground in sheltered places. The
days are warm and springlike and
growing longer but the nights are still
cold and every morning finds the
ground slightly frozen and carpeted
with frost. The cold nights are holding
the fruit buds back and il the same
weather program can be maintained
for another two weeks or more there
will be little chance Of frost dam
age to the fruit crop. The trees are
all heavily loaded with fruit spurs
and all indications now point to. a
bumper fruit crop.
Generally speaking, there was lit
tie damage done in this valley by
the cold weather in December. A
few peaches and pears were hit here
and there but it is doubtful if any
serious damage has been done the conf
merciaI crop. The thermometer never
got below below in the Priest
Rapids valley although it is reported
to have dropped to Is below at
Kennewick and other places in the
Yakima valley and considerable dam
age is reported have been done to
the peach and pear crops in those
places.

planning on using orchard heaters

ENTERTAIN 100 eRANaERs

White Bluffs Grange No. 695, en-
tertained the Benton County Pomona
Grange at its hall Saturday, Feb
ruary 14th. The afternoon was given
over to the usual business meeting.
At s o'clock the ladies were assist
ed by the young girls of the Grange
in serving an appetizing dinner to
Changers and their guests, nearly
100 in all.
The program in the evening was
open to the public and large crowd
was in attendance. DR.. Hills provided
real treat with the song, "Out
Where the West Begins" The gen.
ial doctor is rapidly making a place
for himself in the community. Mrs.
Holecek gave one Of her splendid
readings; Efie Mykol Marguerite
Tromanhauser, Marie Houk and
Marie Weber, with piano solos, songs
and readings drew hearty applause.
Visitors and home people alike COM
mented on the talent displayed by
these high school girls.
The entertainment was concluded
by nirth provoking stunt which
defics description. If you were there
you laughed-so heartily that one
visitor declared she'd never come
to White Bluffs again because she
didn't need to laugh and grow fat"
The Changers wish to thank ev-
cry one who helped to make the
meeting a success.

SCHOOL NOTES

The Hanford debate team came up
last Friday evening and met the
White Bluffs team on the question,
Resolved: that the Philippines should
be granted their immediate inde-
pendence." Hanford argued the af-
firmative and White Bluffs the neg
alive Of the question. The judges
rendered the decision in favor Of
White Bluffs. A large gathering Of
patrons and friends Of the two schools
were out to hear the contest. The
high school was decorated with the
ccIors of the respective schools IN
tasty manner. The arguments were
forcefully presented and the audience
responded heartily to tho points that
were made.
The girls of the high school served
lunch to the entire student body Of
the high school last Monday noon.
Approximately ten dollars were paid
for the many dainties which were
served. The proceeds will be used
to purchase base ball equipment for
the girls physical education work.
Another such luncheon will be CIV
en- in the near future.
What threatens to become an
epidemic OF chicken pox has cut
down the daily attendance in the
schools for the past week or SO. At
present IA pupils are out OF the
grade school on account of the di-
scase. The school authorities are anx-
ious that every precaution should be
taken to keep the malady from
spreading. For the guidance OF an
concerned, they wish to submit the
following information about the dis
ease. The disease rarely begins with
fever. Rash appears on the second
day as small pimples which In about
day become filled with clear flu
i'd. The fluid becomes yellow colored,
crust forms and the scab falls of
in about IA days. Successive crops Of
papulcs appear until the tenth day.
Infection takes place through con-
tact with the discharges from the nose
and throat. The period Of incubation
, takes about three weeks. Any per-
son who has the disease will not be
permitted to attend school or mingle
with the school children until ne
| gets the necessary permission from
4 licensed physician. A child who
has previously had the disease may
attend school, although there may
be members in the family at present
sick with it. But due evidence Of the
facts must be presented directly to
the school authorities. Any suspicious
cases will be excluded from the
schools, and the burden Of proof in
order to be rcinstated lies with the
parent or guardian. The greatest
danger is probably the fact that the
disease is so closely allied with
small pox.

back. The twisters thave Joined the
strikers altho they had no demands to
make Immediately. Yesterday for the
first time, twisters, loomfxers and
weavers could be seen meeting in one
council of the workers.
Boss Threatened Worker.
The boss is worried He has sent
letters to the workers to come to
work, but they have laughed at his
effort to brighten them to his face. He
has sent his foremen around to the
strikers homes but his efforts were
in vain. Yesterday he sent "concil-
liators" around. The workers decided
if they came with any concrete pro-
posals from the boss they would talk
and if they have no real offers to
make, they were to slam the door.
The workers know that the federal
conciliators" are only tools of the
bosses.
The big problem is to broaden the
strike and the united front committee
of Hudson county is already on the
job to arrange for mass meetings,
dances, socials, ETC., for the relief OF
| the strikers, should it be needed, and
also to bring home the message of the
strike to all the silk workers of Hud.
son county and to build up a more
powerful united front of the workers

Workers Party Aids Strikers.
The Workers Party arranged to
have all the strikers attend the No
vember, 9TH celebration and all the
workers were very glad to get tick
cts. Much enthusiasm marked the
announcement that part of the pro
ceeds would go to the strike fund.
