of the Roman Empire by slaves
driven by whip and working
without recompense.
Ancient Greek and Roman phil
osophers thought civilization with
out slavery impossible. It is. Man
must have leisure If he is to think.
Machinery today gives us that
leisure. Machines are our slaves.
They do our hard work without
complaint or suffering.
Advertising has been, and is,
one of the greatest forces which
have made possible this leisure for
present day man. Should the most
wonderful machine in the world be
invented and its use kept secret,
it would be of no benefit to hui
mainly as whole.
Advertising tells how to do
things better with less cost. Adver-
tising, by increasing consumption,
lowers the cost of production. Ar
vertising makes possible the high
standard of living American citi-
zens maintain.

FLAMING YOUTH
\ GUY burst into the office thi

A GUY Durst into the office this
week. all het up over the belief
that the rising generation of Ken.
newick was headed for damnatior
on a nonstop flight. The reason
for his opinion was that he had
called up a girl acquaintance OF
his who was leaving for normal
school to wish her good luck, God
speed, and good position at the
end of her intensive training, and
she had replied that she was gon-
ma take up home economics so she
would be better prepared to make
some guy a competent housekeeper
and that if she did have to finish
normal she would only teach as
long as necessary, that is until
she could find and land salts
factory husband.
Well, we agreed with the man
that the kids these days were GER
tainly way below the standard for
kids in the good old days and that
said girls might as well stay at
home this winter and read "true
story magazines and feed the rab-
bits as to go to college with such
mental attitude as that. After he
had left the office, however, and
we had turned the matter over in
our mind a few times, so to speak,
we began to feel differently about
it.
Personally we know lot Of
girls that have gone to normal and
taught school merely to pass the
time until they could find some
worthy chap to make 'the happi-
est man in the world" Most of
them, naturally, would rather die
than admit it. A large part Of
these same girls, we are sorry to
say, didn't have sense enough to
take home economics, but preferred
to concentrate their efforts on the
study of English OF something like
natural history.
Far as we have ever observed
about the only difference between
boys and girls of this age, and
those of olden times is one of
frankness. Modern youth doesn't
cover up quite as much as some
folks think they should. But if
franlsness is crime, well -.

behind the steering wheel of near
ly any make Of car.
But what kind of a driver are
you? Many motorists are proving
themselves bad drivers just when
they are congratulating themselves
upon being experts. The secretary
of the Mobile, Alabama, Automo-
bile club points out that he con-
siders the ten most common forms
of inefficient driving:
Driving slowly in the middle of
the road.
Taking the right-of-way of the
other fellow by taking advantage
of his desire to avoid injury to
himself or others in his car.
Cutting corners and taking the
curves at high speed.
Driving a car that has squeaky
unequal and general inefficient
brakes.
Passing another vehicle, going
in the same direction, at the brow
of a hill.
Descending steep hill in high
gear when discretion dictates GO
ing down in second or low gear.
Trying to beat train to the
crossing, even if the trick is
turned successfully.
Parking so as to. take up space
that might be taken by two cars.
Trying to pass long line of
traffic that is travelling at the
legal speed limit.
Making repairs without pulling
the car off the highway, or, at
least, having two wheels off the
side of the road.
And to the list may be added:
Speeding around blind curve on
the wrong side of the road.
Attempting to pass another car
on curve.
Passing an approaching car at
night without slowing down.

is SLAVERY PAST?

rs SLAVERY a thing of the past !?
= Off hand you would probably
say yes, in this country at least.
But is it? Today when you express
your merest want hundred will
ing hands and machines jump to
do your bidding. These machines
and hands are paid for, such as
human slaves never were, but their
efficiency is ten, yes, a hundred
times as great.
For example. Instead of having
a private slave for a messenger,
today when one wishes to commun-
icate with someone else he steps
to the telephone; instead of hav-
ing four husky negroes, or coolies,
to carry ones private chair (there's
a name for this kind of chair
slaves used to carry on their Shout
ders) when one wishes to go visit
ing he goes out and depresses the
starter button of his car and it
gets him there with more speed
and comfort than emperors could
command in ancient times. Almost
all hard labor, such as building
roads, crushing rock, digging coal,
and manufacturing of various kinds
is done today better and more
economically by machinery than it
could have been done in the days

revenues for the biennium provid-
ed and that, therefore, lot of un-
finished road work will be. left on
hand for the next gathering of
solons to finance. If they want to
build some roads of their own
choosing the 1929 solons will either
have to find additional revenues or
lop off some of the hold-over high
ways approved by their predeces-
sors.
Conditions have changed this
year in the attitude of the states
toward the gas tax. When Wash
ington solons were in session last
winter it was reported that the
average gas tax was about two
cents per gallon. AS a matter of
fact, for all the 48 states and the
District of Columbia, the average
tax was 2.38 cents last year. Since
then FL states have increased their
tax, New Jersey joining the num-
Der collecting road revenues from
that source. Only Illinois, New
York and Massachusetts now ov-
erlook the gas tax. For the 45
states and District of Columbia
which now garner gas tax, the
average fee is BIT cents per gal
lon and four cent and five cent
states are becoming common.

STOP!

THE State Highway Department
has installed stop signs along
Riverside Ave. at all street cross
ings and Kennewick citizens should
cultivate the habit of bringing
their cars to full stop before
entering upon this arterial high
way. The signs are not large, not
nearly the size they should be, and
are very apt to be overlooked. We
passed them a couple of times
ourselves before one of our pas
sengers called them to our atten-
ton, but if people, will just remem-
Der that Riverside is state high
way they won't have any trouble.
1t may seem foolish to bring
your car to dead stop before en-
tering the highway, but the law
reads plainly that such stop is
required; everyone should form
the habit of doing so even when no
other automobile or traffic officer
is in sight. If the habit is formed
now it will probably prevent an
arrest or possibly a bad smash up
later. 1t is a little trouble, undoubt-
edly, to bring ones car to a halt
with no apparent necessity. but q
$4,000 damage suit would be con-
siderably more trouble; besides

THE movement toward a three

benefit Of the state highway fund
has gained such an impetus that

other cent to petrol prices. The

Douglas is starting to be flooded

ceived at the chamber OF commerce.

clay turned over bottle OF perTume
which was sent her by the New

ficers OF that body are anxious tilac
other recipients OF unordered mer-

Accompanying the perfume sens
Mrs. Brown was a prosy letter stat
ing that she was under no expense
or obligation in receiving the per
fume but requesting her to sampis
it. Ii the perfume pleased her she
was to send ST and if not she was
to send the perfume back. The
letter stated that the company was
interested in getting the opinion vi
women on the perfume.
George B. Doubleday, secretary o;
the chamber, stated yesterday tina;

ceive a receipt for it. He will write
the company that a storage charge
Of Is cents a week is being charged
until the company sends the stor-
age and return postage.
In this way the chamber hopes TO
break up the practice or sending I'M
ordered goods here. 1t was pointed
out that many people will send the
money for the goods because they do
not wish to go to the trouble OF re-
wrapping and mailing the package
Others are forced to go to the trouble
Of reWrapping and mailing to gee
the stuff Oft hand.
A local druggist looked at the
perfume sent here and said it was
worth about so cents. Other women
besides Mrs. Brown are reported TO
have received similar packages.
