TOO LIBERAL

For S2.75. cash in hand, State
Law Librarian w. j. Willard has
obtained a copy of what probably
is the first legal dictionary printed
in English. 1t was published in
England in 1867 during the reign
of gay King Charles II who fan
cied French as the court language.
AS result definitions of legal
terms are printed in both English
and French and an introduction to
the volume sets forth that the orig
inal was attributed by Lork Coke
to William Rostal, a learned jurist
who probably wrote the first text
in French only.
Aside from the fact that 100
new legal terms had been invented
since the first book was printed
and also that the London printers
had been lax in correcting typo
graphical errors. if anyone had
taken the trouble to point them
out in the first place. the book jus
titles its temperance on the
ground that an error of some 500
miles had been made in locating
the city of Rome.
"There was also a mistake" the
apology reads. "in the word "pape"
where Rome was said to be 1900
miles from hence. full 500 too
much"

which she loathes and consistently
refused to eat at home. She eats
it because she is a normal healthy
young person and is hungry. At
night she is in bed by a certain
time or the lights go out and who
wants to sit up in the dark. She
exercises regularly and frequently
sleeps out on the porch. She, this
average girl. has limited income,
and can not lunch between times
on candy and other trash. In other
words. it is the regularity of life
that does much to bring children
up to weight. It can not be done
in a haphazard way but must be
done regularly day by day.
If close enough to school home
lunch is best as hot milk soup
or other nourising food can be had.
IT, however, it means that the child
must hurry too much, the lunch as
given in last weeks Taper should
be sent to school because hurrying
before or after a meal has a very
upsetting effect on the digestion.
Immediately after school the
child should have a nourishing
lunch consisting of half milk and
half cream with bread or sand
witch and this should be eaten as
a meal at the table followed by a
rest period of half an hour. After
this he should play out of doors if
the weather permits, for an hour
or until dinner. Bed time should be
as regular as the clock. at seven
or 1880 and sleep should be either
on sleeping porch or in room
with all possible windows open.
This routine, il followed day after
day will do much to bring up the
weight of children. AS mentioned
before it is the regularity as much
as anything else that counts in the
building up of an underweight
child providing of course that no
physical defect is the cause of the
underweight.

ASK MONEY. BACK

State Treasurer w. G. Potts has
become convinced that if the state
offers something for nothing there
is nobody with valid claim who
Is too modest to present it.
Last month 5000 persons asked
for rebates on their gas tax and
set forth proof that they had not
used the gasoline purchased for
propelling an automobile along the
states highways. AS the total dis
bursments only aggregated $685.
417.09 it is APPARENT that most of
the claimants were looking for
pennies that got away.
The smallest gas rebate on rec
ord was for 8 cents. Some of the
largest are paid the railroads. The
N. P. drew back 5000 in April and
got S466 last month. The Great
Northern's latest claim was for
5000. The O.-W. usually gets from
So to SGT month but put in a
1888 claim for September. Among
loggers the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Co. got a 1914 rebate in October.
Som of the smallest claims come
from vessels in the fishing fleet.

EDUCATION is REQUIRED

1t no longer is a moot question
in the state license department
whether education pays; in that
department one must show a col
lege diploma or he doesn't get on
the payroll at ALL In figuring the
other day that an examination of
beauticians and BARRIERS could not
be held before Dec. 9, since new
practitioners under the 1927 acts
must have at least six months
special school training in addition
to other scholastic attainments de-
partment experts found the only
callings that do not now require
special school instruction ARE cleo
tricians. realtors, architects land
certified public accountants. But
try. if you think education is UNI
necessary, to pass one of these
examinations. 1t isn't set forth
by law, but the test questions are
loaded down with demands for
book learning.

POULTRY FLOCK
VACCINATED

Medium sized poultry flock near
Kennewick. was vaccinated for
chickenpox, near the later part of
last week. The owner and county
agent cooperated in the vaccinat-
ing of this flock to see if the
flock could not be brot thru the
chicken pox infection in a shorter
period of time and with conse-
quent less loss of production. Some
birds in the flock showed very
serious infection. the mouth and
throat having number of cam
kers and the eye lids in some cas-
es being so badly infected that an
eye would be swollen shut. The
hopes are that the vaccine will
prove as successful as it has in
other parts of the state. Reports
will be made from time to time on
results.

TOO MANY

Seventeen telephone subscribers

too many, the department Of public
works has concluded after listen
ing to a complaint by group of
farmers Figuring that about 20
mint .es is the minimum limit with
in which one can satisfactorily
discrss a juicy bit of gossip, de-
partment statisticians discovered
that if every subscriber wanted to
get his moneys worth of talk in
day ne line would be kept busy
for about six hours; and siz hours,
it was held is too long for the
seventeenth subscriber to await
his turn.

the cost high and in many cases
prohibitive.
A herd of 70 cows in the Mime
sofa Experiment -tation was taken
and daily milk production and
tests were taken. in this way the
actual milk and butter fat pro-
duction being determined for the
entire year. A certain day every
other month was taken and from
the milk production and test on
that day the milk and butter fat
production for a two month period
was determined by calculating milk
and butter fat production for the
month preceding this date and
one day test every two months, the
average variation from actual pro-
duction was 3.S percent in "a cas-
es out of the 20. the error was
five percent Or more. The greatest
error for any one record was IL
percent. One can easily figure but
what the average variation in
pounds produced would be for the
various number of pounds of but
ter fat produced. One can easily
prove to himself that one can come
much nearer the actual production
by this method than one would
probably come if one merely esti-
mated production. In fact in one
case 46 estimated records were
made. At the end of the testing
year it was found that the esti-
mated record veried from one to
SO percent from the actual record
and the average difference was %
percent. In testing once every two
months the greatest error was on
ly one-fifth as much as the great
est error of the estimates. and the
average error was only one-sev-
enth as much as the average error

NEW PLAN FOR COW TEST
ING ASSOCIATION

The u. S. department of agri-
culture has recently published a
circular outlining a new plan for
cow testing associations for farms
having small herds. This is the
testing of the herd once every two
months. or six times during the
year.
This new method is not intended
to take the place of the old method
of testino where the herds are
tested once every month. This
latter method has proven SO sat-
isfactory that there is no question
in regard to its effectiveness and
the cost is in no way prohlDitlve
with larger herds. If the same me
thod however. were followed with
the small herd owner. it does make

of a traffic cop. Figures of the
department of labor show that
there never has been a loss paid
on account of injury suffered by
an aviator. Some injury claims
have been liquidated for mechan-
les on the ground but aireal per-
formers who come under the state
industrial insurance act have been
immune. There have. of course,
been some floying accidents but
the injured persons were employer
and not hired men.

K. H. S. WINS AGAIN
Joe Brown

Ritzville, altho aided considerably by the
referee, was humbled by the Kills. eleven to
the tune of 22-13. The game was fight from

stamina and good condition that is theirs, by
causing several Ritzville PLAYERS to be taken
from the field and immerge victorious and un-
injured
Ritzville scored in the second quarter by
the aid of penalties and bucked the ball across.
They failed to make the try for point. With
only few seconds of the first half to play,
Marty Hudnall received the kickoff and aided
by perfect interference ran 80 yards for
touchdown. dutch" Lincoln converted.
Both teams came back fighting. in the second
half and Ritzville scored another touchdown.
They also made the try for point. K H. S. would
not be outdone and started march down the
field which netted Hudnall his second touch
down. Lincoln missed the kick K. II. S. blocked
punt but Ritzvle recovered behind the line,
and Kennewick got safety.
Kennewick outplayed their opponents the
last quarter with Hudnal and Boyer gaining
consistently Late in the last quarter. Brough-
man intercepted a Ritzville pass and ran 20
yards for a touchdown. Lincoln made the addi-

EVENTS IN THE LIVES OF LITTLE MEN
Silver Mcguire

The gym and lower halls echoed with the
sounds of joy, merriment and gladness. Laugh
ter welled undestrained, from the threats of
the people gathered there. Sparkling eyes be-
trayed that this was red letter day in the
social calendar of the freshmen and sophomores.
The girls were vivid in their new dresses, and
the boys were almost too perfectly groomed to
be the same fellows we see running about the
halls each day. Indeed the freshmen felt quite
grown up as they entertained their more grown
up guests the sophomores.
After the crowd had been popped up with
few lively games, they were led up the nlighted
stairs. single file, thru the dark, empty halls,
where it is declared that ghosts were star
ing through the transoms, and even the spirits
were heard as they passed dark open doorway.

sented snappy little program in the assembly.
after which the party returned to the gym.
One of the most exciting events of the eve
ming was the fortune telling game. Some of
the revelations were very shocking and almost
unbelievable. For instance. Lester Larson is
deeply in love with the youthful Miss Hutton,
who. really is only seventeen, and wears for
adornment, rectangular shaped nose set be-
tween two sparkling lavender eyes, Unfortune-
ately Lester has rival. It has certainly been
a mystery as. to the result when our Math
teacher will choose between Lester and Tony
Brougunier.
After the refreshments were slowed away by
the hungry children, few of the bold knights
were seen timidly approaching some blushing
damsels, and soon the. shy couples were
going out the door hand in hand, followed by
their more bashful friends while the building
gradually resumed it's usual stiffness.

testing, if it could be done for
$1.50 per COW. Farmers with herds
of 20 and up should figure on test
ing once every month. We would
like to invite correspondence on
this point and would urge that any
farmer interested in this, write to
the county agent at Kennewick,
giving the number of cows to be
tested and your name and address.
THE UNDER WEIGHT CHILD
The first problem to take up in
the program for the underweight
child is that of physical perfection,
meaning: is the child free to gain ?
This factor can only be determined
by the examination by a nurse and
competent physician. If bad ton
sis, teeth or appendix are found
they should be cared for, for they
will drain pus into the system
until the most perfect nutrition
program will fail.
If, on the other hand, the ply
steal examination shows nothing
materially wrong it then remains
to select the program and stick TO
it through thick and thin until the
desired effect is secured.
Many children have been thin
all their lives. The parents have
been reasonably careful in the Sc
lection of the child's program, they
have had good food and have kept
comparatively early hours and sui

How best
can [ trade in
my present car
tor a new carr"

MTHBN you are ready to trade in
Wv your present car for new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
emit car. But most of all you want full
new car value.
1t will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
4 Your present car has only one funda-
i mental basis of value: i.e., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market
- Your present car has seemingly
Il different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you new car.
= The largest allowance offered is not
- necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not
a An excessive allowance may mean
that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value.
- First judge the merits of the new car
- in comparison with its price, includ-
ing all delivery and finance charges
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
4 Remember that you are making a
W purchase-not sale. You are buy
ing new car and simply using your
present car as a credit against the new
cars purchase price.

An Irishman's hair, for instance,
has different weight from an Italians,

Fair Workers Will Appeal to
Younger Set" in French
Senate.

PARIS, March 26.-The younger set
Of French Senators-those whose ages
run between 40 and 50--wiIl come in
for a lot of feminine attention right
after the Easter recess ends.
Assurances to this effect were given
the Associated Press today by deter.
mined suffragist leaders who are still
unconvinced that the cause OF "votes
for women" fs lost despite the reverse
1t suffered this week. Yesterday a
Senate committee voted to report un.
favorab1y on Senator Louis Martin e
bill giving women the right to vote
and to hold public Office. Nevertheless,
the suffragists say they are sure they
can raise senatorial majority in their
favor If the more youthfuI-minded
solons are properly cultivated.
We expected the committees de.
cision," Nine. Mallaterre- Seller, chief
of the Catholic feminist group, said
today, but all we ask of Senator Mar.
raud (who will present the committee
findings) is to bring his report before
the Senate soon after Easter so l. can
be acted on before the long vacation
beginning about July IA. We are sure
that the new blood injected into the
upper body by the January elections
at which one-third of it's membership
was renewed, viii respond to our ap.
peal. We don't care whether this re-
port Is unfavorable."
