THE POLITICAL HORIZON
By the ScribbIer

The political situation has clarified
and a lineup of interests and COM
binations is apparent. Of course
the Senatorial battle keeps the mid
die of the stage with Senator Short
ridge in action. The fight is being
carried into the camp of the foes.
The so-called world court issue has
caused no stampede. as the voters
are far too intelligent not to see
through the game.

mott of the steamer Bridgeport

Captain McDermott has been over

DUST NUISANCE EX-
PENSIVE LUXURY
Plans Work But Cost is Excessive
in Experiments Carried r,
Out This Year -

In three experiments the state
highway department has found
that the dust nuisance can be eff
fectively suppressed but the cost
is excessive.
Calcium chloride sprinkled on
the Olympic highway on Hood
canal and the Grays Harbor branch
attracted enough moisture to keep
the crushed rock roadway in good
condition. A heavy rain seemed to
have washed out one supply of
calcium chloride but it was applied
again and the roadway held UP
until the end of the season.
Both on detours and on some
sections of gravel roads the de-
partment used various oils for
laying dust and found the result
was satisfactory.
Near Spokane a road that was
prepared for the experiment was
covered with the so-called Oregon
mixture of oil, clay and gravel
and this highway bore the traffic
well. 1t was found that mainte-
nance crews should watch it to
prevent chuck-holes from appear
ing but otherwise the experiment
proved satisfactory.
Cost figures on all three expert
ments indicate that it will cost
more to keep down the dust than
it now allowed for highway main
tenance. The various schemes of
dust prevention do not do away
with other maintenance work tho

This season of 1926 has been the
lowest water by far since meas
urements and records began on the
Yakima river in 1902. Yet more
water has been wasting over our
dam than we take into our canal.
1t is probable that we will never
see the river so low again in our
Lifetime, and it is gratifying TO
feel that there will never be a

Meanwhile the moss and weeds
are still growing in our laterals

ing out the water. Since it seems

THE GUIDING OF CHILDISH
IMPULSES

That day has passed, fortunate.
ly, when a child's natural impulses
were suppressed by the weight OF
adult supervision. Fortunately too
the day is now passing when all
adult supervision was removed
from the child's uniformed impuls-
es. The pendulum, having swung
too far each way, is now at last
gently swaying between these two
extremes, pointing the way to q
training of children which will
combine encouraging the natural
impulsive desires of the child, with
sensible suggestive supervision
by the parent and teacher.
Parents can do a great deal, ev.
en- with very young children, to
turn the experimental instincts to
definite, purposeful endeavor. The
four-year-old child may still be at.
tracted to blocks, to colored pa
pers, to pictures merely for the
pleasure of the passing moment
But as he grows to the age of six
he is ready to use these things fol-
the gaining of some desired end
This is the parents opportunity
to suggest the materials various
uses, or to set some simple model
before the child so that he can use
his materials for copying it; it is.
too, the only way in which the
child can ever grow away from
that choosing of things for their
more passing fascination.
In this, as in everything con-
nected with the training of child
rem, the mental and the spiritual
are very closely allied to the phys
zeal. The child must be helped to
see the intrinsic usefulness Of these
material things, and led to dis
cover their adaptability and con-
nection with each other. In this
way his spiritual insight will be
strengthened also.
If child is never allowed freely
to experiment with blocks, clay,
scissors, paper or whatever other
plaything or play material he may
have, he will never know how to
meet and work out a problem for
himself. Nevertheless, unless there
is someone to suggest to him new
ways of using his materials OF
show him where he can improve
the work of his hands. the time
will come when he will become
bored with his products and with
all his playthings. If he is ever
to grow he must be given the
chance to adapt to his. own work
the successful methods worked out
by others.
The mother may say. "See if
you can make a house like mine!"
and, 81 will build the church while
you are making the grocery store
and again. "Don't you think that
you might build higher tower
if you first made good, strong
foundation for it," And so she
will lead her child to fresh enthu-
siasm, to new efforts and more
thoughtful consideration of the
better ways of doing things.
