Finances Under Separa-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 22.--Midnight
having struck in the Cinderella life
of Peaches" the 16-year-old bride of
Edward W. Browning, today was sep
arated from the riches and splendor to
which she had become accustomed.
No longer must her wealthy husband
pay her $500 a week alimony. In fact,
he need not pay cent.
The Cinderella OF fiction retired to
her chimney corner. Peaches went to
bed. where she sobbed her disappoint-
ment over losing her separation suit
against the 52-year-old wealthy real
estate operator He won his suit for
separa ton.
Automatically deprived by the de-
cision of the $500 week alimony she
had been receiving since November,
Peaches and her mother Mrs. Cath
crime Heenan, are without funds to
pay for an appeal. Mrs. Browning's
only claim to continued support Is to
return to her husband should he de-
sire to take her back
Browning Is Reticent.
The decision found Browning
strangely reticent.

Court Justice Seeger handed down
yesterday at Carmel, \. Y.
Peaches received the news on re-
turning home from shopping tour
with her mother.
Mrs. Heenan. who. Browning charg
ed, was the cause of the rift in rela-
tions between him and his wife, re-
marked:
Peaches must not be annoyed.
She Is worn out by the strain of SO
much publicity"
BrOwning's Counsel Halls Decision.
Then came tears. Henry Epstein,
attorney for Peaches, said:
IAN appeal in such case Is very
expensive business. Mrs Browning
has no money, and any money to
finance the additional legal expenses
would have to come from Mr.. Brown
ing"
Browning already has had to pay
Epstein $500.
Francis G. Dale, attorney for
Browning, hailed the decision as es-
tablishing public sentiment and pub
lie justice" as 'bulwarks against the
designing female of the Species
Had the decision been otherwise. ,"
he said ''the public consequences
would have been appalling. A multi
tude of young girls would have taken
IT as a signal to tie themselves to
every man of wealth with the single
object In view of separating them
from their money at the further ex-
pense of their good name"

Senator James Reed of Missouri,
heading the Ford counsel. has shown
spectators many of the Characters
ties for which he has been noted In
the Senate. Irony and satire have
come from his lips; there have been
soft spoken words as he toyed with
his trimmed spectacles.
At another moment he glares over
the glasses at the jury as with
forcible words he endeavors to put
over a telling point.

is another firm with the same
viewpoint. These, and other large
corporations who have adopted a
similar policy, are to be congrat-
ulated on their consideration for
the welfare of others. Many firms
would do well to follow in their
footsteps as after one has looked
at 999 sign boards he developes an
animosity for all the articles and
names they gaudily proclaim and
would prefer to buy from some
company that annoys him less.
Bill boards are unsightly, men,
ace to save travelling, and they
cause public opinion to rest un-
favorably. If merchants sad man.

this we would be spared another
legal stipulation.

more discerning writer's saw, or

unless the other aviators kept a

The rest is history. The hero
arose one morning at 2 o'clock
after couple of hours rest pack
ed a sandwich or two into his ma
chine, warmed up the motor and
was off. Nothing could have been
more spectacular. Lancelot, aris-

in comparison.
Lindbergh today, knows what
the public wants. He is still the
Snowman he always was. We read
of him making the huge crowds
of New York gasp as he flew low
over their heads. On his start from
Washington to st. Louis recently
we hear how his plane, The Spirit
of st. Louis, had been warming
up in it's hangar; large crowd
waited for Indy to make his ap-
pearance. No one knew him to be
around when he suddenly climbed
into the cockpit, opened the throt-
tie wide, rushed over the ground
for scant 100 feet, rose into the
air at a steep angle and was out
of sight in a moment.
Lindbergh has given the people
of the United States a great show,
and we only hope that his para
chute will never fail to open.

OUR TOWN LOYALTY

Mo CITIZEN is so powerful,
none so humble, but what his
town is an aid to him in some way
or other. There is where he en-
ployes his labor or his capital,
builds his home, enjoys the society
of his kind and, in short, finds
everything that makes life worth
living. Failing to find these things
he usually goes in search of them
elsewhere. If he remains it is ma
tural to suppose he has found that
for which he sought.
Since your town boosts you why
not do as well by it as it does
by you? To progress it needs the
help of every citizen, and every
citizen benefits Individually from
every community Improvement,
whether that Improvement takes
the form of public works, popula-
ton growth, increased prosperity
or business development.
No community is so miserable
and unattractive that it has not
it's boosters and none so perfect it
has not it's knockers, but that city
or town achieves most in civic bet
terment which has the most boost
ers.
There are boosters and many of
them in Kennewick. They and their
forerunners have made it the fine
community it is and are making
it the better community all want
it to be in the future. But there
are two reasons why every citizen
should be a civic worker ard boost
er. First, it is unfair to place the
whole burden upon the few and,
second, every citizen owes it to
himself and his fellow citizens to
do everything within his power to
make the community better that it
may the better serve all.
However, one should not make
the mistake of combining his boost
ing to talking about the virtues of
his home town. Direct advertising
pays, but the kind of boosting that
pays the highest dividends is sob
er and perservering endeavor of
the kind that builds and beauties
the community.

BILL BOARDS

THE state Of Washington is be-
= ing menaced! Menaced by the
state legislature, which, we fear,
is likely in the near future, to pass
a new law and thereby add inn
measureably to the burden of laws
our statute books already carry.
Like most laws this threatened
regulation could and ought to be
avoided. Many industrial firms of
the U. S. have taken steps to a
void it, and public opinion should
assert itself in their favor.
The law which we believe is now
in its embryonic stage is one reg
ulating bill boards. Bill boards are
not such nuisances in our own
community as they are in more
thickly settled urban districts, but
one does not need to travel far be-
fore he becomes unspeakably tired
of seeing nothing but highly coll
ored paper. They are often men
ace to traffic as they distract the
drivers attention or may be SO
placed as to interfear with vision
of the road ahead. Bill boards, al
so, are usually ugly blotches on
what NAV be an otherwise scenic
landscape.

est oil company in the west, de-

WHAT THE PUBLIC LIKES

MANY persons have taken it up
NA on themselves to tell why the
spectacular flight of Col. Lind
bergh has been given SO much pub
licity; poets have called him the
bravest of Americas sons, care
full editorial writer's, who are sup
posed to know everything, have
said that he was popular because
of his extraordinary common sense
and modesty, others proclaiming
him to be great diplomat and
our ambassador of good will. ALI
these were partially right.
Beyond a doubt he possessed ex-
traordinary courage, but to say
that he is the bravest is an exag-
geration. Nungesser and Coli,
Chamberlin and Levine were equal
~ willing to risk their lives in an
airship over the Atlantic. Scores
of Americans have given their
lives in defense of their country,
and to paraphrase a certain pas
sage, greater valor hath no man.
Lindbergh has displayed rare
judgment and good taste in all his
foreign receptions as well as those
at home. He was an ambassador
of good will and diplomat. How
ever if one will observe carefully
the reports of his sojourn in Eu-
rope one will see that he endeav-
ored only to act natural, unpre-
tentious, sympathetic with the
French people. They found him
sincere, and sincerity is always APP
preciated.
Nevertheless there was some
thing about the first man to fly
from New York to Paris that can
not be explained by the foregoing
paragraphs. That something, we
believe, was showmanship. His life
history and flight over the ocean
have given reporters a chance to
use every word in their vocabulary
as often as they wished, should
they have cared to go into the story
in detail. Lindbergh has been on
the front page of every daily in
the United States since he first
started for New York.
While Chamberlin and Acosta
set a new endurance record for
flying in testing out their Bellan-
ca plane at New York, Lindbergh
on his test flight, hoped quietly
from San Francisco to st. Louis,
and then tuned up the motor once
more and ate his next meal in New
York. In that flight Lindbergh
proved that the fellow who won
the $4,000 Orteig prize would
have a run for his money. Byrd |
and Chamberlin had been fooling |
around Mitchell field for many
weeks waiting for good weather,
making test flights, and doubt
less hibly enjoying the publicity
their threatened Paris trips were
being given. A great many news
writer's spoke of Lindbergh light
