WHITE BLUFFS SCOUTS
WIN TWO PRIZES

Sixteen Boy Scouts with their
leader, E. E. Kirkpatrick, and ac-
companied by several of the business
men, making caravan of six cars.
drove over to Sunnyside last Satur-
day to represent White Bluffs in the
big jamboree and to compete in all
kinds of scouting contests. There
were two hundred and fifty scouts at
the janboree representing seventeen
lower Yakima valley communities.
D. N. Wood of Sunnyside was Of
ficer of the day, with Harold Peck
leading the singing and Roy Taylor
as tugler. George H. Tonnemaker
of Buena was announced and w. M.
Underhill of White Bluffs was start
er and F. A. English was one
of the judges.
The boys of the White Bluffs
troop received a red ribbon as win
ners of second place in appearance.
This included conduct, discipline,
marching and dress appearance. They
were the first to finish in the signal
ing contest but failed to make prize
winning place because of mistaken
letter. The ten points given for the
mileage of friends and parents was
also awarded them. Other activities
in which they took part were first
aid, fire building, treasure hunt, dizzy
izzy race and Murphy says"
The conference opened with a
meeting of the scout masters and
assistants in the American Legion
hall, where President Shaw Of the Yak
ina Scout area, spoke. During this
time the boys attended free moving
picture show. Following the meeting,
the troops assembled at the fire sta
ton on main street and marched to
the Denny Blaine school grounds
where the events ,s,ok place. The flag
salute and scout oath were given.
Following the contests, Eagle
Scouts addressed the assembly; A
salute was given at the Lowering of the
flag, taps were sounded and the troops
dismissed. 1t was big day for all
the scouts who were able to attend.

PAVING COMPLETED

The last of the concrete on the six
miles Of paving on the highway this
SIDE OF Kennewick was poured on
November 7. While the protective
covering of dirt has been removed
from the upper end of the paving ,tnc
road will not be open to travel until
about December /. By that time
the contractor will have finished build
ing the dirt shoulders and the drain
age bitches.
With the completion of this strip
Benton county now boasts of abtut
SIX and quarter mics Of paving, all
of which is included in this job. The
road just being completed, has re-
quired some new grading, as the
route has been altered to allow for
longer curves, and the balance Of the
distance from the paving to the
bridge across the Columbia will be
graded and graveled at once.

AIR TRAVEL SAFE

The safety and reliability of air ira
vel is most forcibly illustrated by the
record made on the Pasco-Elko air
mail route during the last three
months OF operation. In that time the
planes had Travelled l14,00O miles with
but one forced landing and no acci-
dents or injuries Of any kind. This is
remarkable record and speaks well
for the pilots and equipment. And.
further, Tonsldering the tact that
these were trips made daily without
choosing the time or weather condi-
tons, is ample proof Of the favorable
flying conditions that prevail over this
route and vindicates the selection of
the route. -- ~

NEW AUTO LICENSES DEC. I

Application for 1927 automobile H.
cense plates will be received by the
county auditors, or their agents, be-
ginning December lst.
In large number of cases great
deal OF confusion arises when the mo-
torist applies for his license. He can
not remember the engine number or
the serial number of the car. Neither
is he sure about the model or type, and
in the case of truck, the load capa-
city. Perhaps he has fcygtten the
year that his car was manufactured.
Much of this confusion could be
avoided if the motorist, when apply
ing for renewal, would have his pre-
sent license certificate with him. If
this certificate has been misplaced, or
is not available, OF should he want a
license for his new car he should have
the following information with him:

Aimee's Publicity
Stunt Gets Hard Rap

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 2S. An
other hard rap was given to the pub
licity stunt Of Mrs. Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson, guardian" of the Angelus
Temple, when a grocer's delivery boy
and Mrs. Parks, who lived near a cot
tage rented by "Mr. and Mrs. George
Mcintyre" identified Mrs. Mcintyre as
Aimee.
Both of the witnesses declared that
they had seen Aimee face to face
and thruout her stay with her radio
operator, Kenneth Ormiston, they kept
the blinds drawn on the windows.
A hand writing expert has identified
the handwriting on the letter sent by
"Mr. Mcintyre" to the keeper of the
cottage asking for a refund with that
of a letter sent by Ormiston TO Keys
denying his presence in that village
with the soul-saving Aimee.

still insists that she was kidnapped"

ers of the World, thru the action Of
the Baltimore branch, has answered
the call Of the British miners and is
boycotting all coal ships to Great Brit
ain.
Baltimore is one of the largest and
perhaps the most busy port in the
United States thru which coal is being
shipped to break the British strike.
The action of the Baltimore branch Of
the M. T. w. is, therefore. striking at
the heart of the scab coal shipments.
Besides their own members, the M.
T. w. is urging the members Of the
International Seamen's Union OF the
A. F. OF l.. to stay off coal ships to
Great Britain, regardless OF the |. s.
U. officials indifference to the cause
Of working class solidarity, which,
according to the NJ. T. W., is causing
them to gather up previously unor-
ganized seamen to man the coal ships.
The M. T. w. $40 branch OF Baltimore
urges all seamen, regardless OF af-
flliation, TO boycott the coal ships.
"Seamen, be men, concludes leaf
let being distributed on the water
front, land tell your fellow seamen to
back you up. Refuse to scab." The
leafet is put out by the M. T. w. $40.

Workers of the World
Must Make All Nations
big League Territory
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

and l spent the better part of a
week in the Moscow Art Theater,
seeing different play and different
actors every night and marvelling at
the almost unfailing perfection of
their acting. And l find now, when
anyone asks me what's the differ
ence between the Russian theater
and our own, that can answer the
question with the greatest ease, If
not intelligence, by saying that our
theaters are like bush ball teams
that occasionally put up brilliant
game, whereas the Moscow Art
Theater plays big league ball all the
time"
The conclusions reached by Stew
ems are not new. Managers and
critics galore who have visited the
Union of Soviet Republics univer-
sally come to the same decision.
The drama In Berlin, Paris and Lon
don, not to mention New York and
Chicago, may be decadent, puerile,
but in Russia it is real, virile. The
revolution has had very great deal
to do with that.
They said that the revolution had
killed art, literature, culture, but
now comes Ashton Stevens trooping
along as part of the long procession
proclaiming Russia "big league" ter
ritory in the drama, just as numer-
GUS other witnesses from time to
time testify to her great achiev-
ments in other fields of human en-
deavor.
Stevens also reflects that:
Indeed, they (the Moscow Art
Players) are the Jesuits of the
stage, none for one and all for all.
They know no politics, mind their
own business, and respect the Soviet
government, and in their tactful self
supporting way are permitted to do
pretty much as they please. They
have been the most effective propa-
ganda that ever came out of Russia
because they have not been propa-
gandists."
The keepers Of the gates of Ellis
Island, New York, had better keep
awake when next the Moscow Art
Players come this way.
But the triumph of the Bolshevik
revolution consists not only in the
cultural forces that it has turned
loose, but in the new vistas of prog
ress opened up before every field of
human activity. The czarist regime
handicapped the Russian workers
and peasants for years. But that is
gone. The batting average of Rus
sian labor in all fields of activity
mounts higher. 1t will become the
pride of world labor seeking to emu
late it. 1t will give agony to the
heart of capitalist society, the bush
league social system that tries to
maintain its existence by causing
all humanity to stagnate and agon-
ize in ignorance and misery. 1t is
up to the workers of the world to
make all nations big league terri
tory, like the Union of Soviet Re-
publics, in the drive toward the new
acknowledgements.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-30

THIS is supposed to be the silly
4 season. The picture services
cry for pictures of women to be dis
tributed among their clients eager
for feminine trimmings for their
publications. Discussion is sup
posed to hinge mostly on the
weather. The movies put on only
light stuff, light indeed when most
of filmdom is nearly always froth
anyway. Those who insist on get
ting excited must only rave about
baseball, the latest prize fight or
golf, with baseball always pre-
ferred. That is America.
1t is, therefore, easily understood
why the drama section of last Sun
days issue Of the Hearst's papers,
at least in Chicago, carried the
startling headline, mo Bushers in
Moscow, Says Stevens" Art Thea
ter There Plays Big League Ball
All the Time, Critic Discovers"
1t would be impossible to trans
late those headlines into any other
language. 1t would be Greek to the
Russians, or worse.
But those headlines carry an idea
into the minds of the millions who
follow the score boards, or fill the
grandstands, bleachers and the open
fields at American ball games. They
would get the simple idea that the
Moscow Art Theater was high grade
stuff, and since Moscow has re-
ceived so much publicity as the Red
Capital of the Workers Republic,
they might conclude that it isn't
such a bad place after all. They
might ask the next minute, who
is the Babe Ruth of the Bolshevik
batters?" but this would only show
that the baseball fS1 had his mind
on his own games, to which it
quickly returned, and that he could
not be led astray for long into the
alien field of the drama.
But Ashton Stevens showed his
cleverness as a dramatic critic by
winning, if even for a minute, the
attention of the baseball readers,
who constitute a much larger
audience. This is an achievement
par excellence for a Hearst writer,
who is supposed to tickle and not to
teach the brain of his audience.
Ashton Stevens, of course, merely
takes after his versatile mentor,
Arthur Brisbane, who uses his col
umn to boost Coolidge for re-elec-
ton, develop the largest air fleet in
the world for American Imperialism,
announce himself as the starter of
automobile races at Indianapolis, as
the sales agent of sub-sea lots in
Florida, or gushing oil fields in Cal
ifornia. 1t was the Hearst press
that took Damon Runyan out of the
scribes' retreat in the baseball arena
to write up the Eucharistic Con-
gress of the International Catholic
Church, and proudly advertised the
achievement Stevens, the dramatic
critic, may therefore be allowed his
excursion into the field of baseball
when he writes:
Baseball comparisons occurred
to me in Russia when Morris Gest
