In the last issue of the News

the chicken dinner given by the
Burton Improvement Club, but not
enough to satisfy the writer. The
editor wrote it up in hurry which
he should not have done. We will
now try, and fill in the bald spots.
1t is true, there were l23 chicken
dinners served even if they were
not all chicken, DR.. Young who
is some community hustler, acted
as "Chef supreme, par excellanec
which means that he is Some

Mr.. Godfrey, who is chef OF the
same ilk. We will not mertion

was supposed to be staged by the

The tables were beautifully dee

done this as il showed such good
taste. The Fisher FIouring Mills

DEDICATION OF
PIONEER MONUMENT

An outstanding event in the his
tory and progress of the islands oc-
cured Friday, November llth, as
the Vashon-Maury Island Pioneer
Association unveiled a beutiful
and appropriate monument to the
memory Of the early pioneers OF
both islands. The stone is Ideally
located on the small triangle,
known as Pioneer Place, near the
Quartermatster dock and close to
the spot where large party of
the earliest pioneers first Landed.
The progam was arranged for ]
o o'clock but before that hour autos
carrying pioneer families, their de
scendants and friends began
to encircle the flag draped monu-
ment and at the appointed time a
short but impressive program OF
hymns and prayers was carried
out. The unveiling was gracefully
done by Mrs Charlotte sherman

two charming defendants of pio-
neer families. At the conclusion

where they had the pleasure of
hearing a well delivered address
by Judge C. Il. Claypole, one OF
the pioneer legal authorities OF
Washington and Alaska and a
member of the state Pioneer AsSo-
citation. In his speech he pald a
glowing tribute to the high stand
ard OF living SET by the pioneers oi

shaped the future OF the Islands.
Following this main address, MR..
Catherine Tiehncr Hall, OF south
ern Heights, read an interesting
original poem descriptive OF the
pathos and drama in the life OF a
pioneer. The singing of the Wash.

HOTEL EQUIPMENT
SHOWING CHANGES

The increase in the number of
small eating places throughout the
city and state has enabled the John
T. Cusack Company, S45 w. Wash.
ington ST., restaurant and hotel sup.
plies to develop a large business.
Many new devices also have been
placed on the market which have
made obsolete the restaurant equip
ment of twenty-five years ago. Old
types of ranges, which formerly
burned wood or coal, are being re-
placed by more modern types which
burn gas, oil or use electricity.
The trend of restaurant supply
business has been toward better
made equipment. Science has shown
the company a number of things in
the matter of sanitation and safety.
In the sheet metal shop of the
company, practically any special
order can be filled for restaurant
equipment. The company has an
efficient department for making re-
pairs or designing new parts for
kitchen equipment. Trays, dish
washing, cooking and other equip
ment of the modern kitchen are
made to order in the shop.
The company sells a large line of
hotel and restaurant supplies. The
newest designs Of chinaware, glass
ware, coolers, tables, chairs, count
ers, stoves and metal containers are
offered restaurant and hotel owners
by the company.

kept busy filing orders throughout
last week and the extra demands
upon the shop almost taxed the de-
livery system which she maintains.
Scores of homes throughout the city
were made gayer and more pleasant
by the blossoms sent from her shop.
An intimate knowledge of the
florist business, gathered from a
number Of years OF service, has fitted
her to carry on the business. Her
excellent location in a constantly
growing territory and on a strategic
corner of two thoroughfares has
been helpful in the development of
the business.
Many hostesses of the city have
found it convenient to call Mrs. Ben
son, explain the general plans for
their parties and receive suggestions
for floral decorations, which have
been promptly delivered.
You can't say it better than by
flowers" Mrs. Benson believes.

Boston Manager Is Unhap-
piest of Eight New Big
League Pilots.

BU tHue6 Press
NEW YORK, April 1S-Bill CARR
gan, who retired from baseball a
decade ago when the Boston Red Sox
were on the crest of a succession of
world series victories, watched wear
lily from the shade of a Yankee
Stadium dugout Monday while an
other club of the same name, wear
ing the same scarlet trimmed hose,
went down to its sixth straight de-
feat of the 1927 season.
With record of never having lost
a world series while with the Red
Sox of old in the capacity of catcher
and manager, Bill is back at the
Boston helm, with this difference
the clubs record to date is that it
hasn't won a single ball game.
Carrigan is the unhappiest of the
eight new managers who came to
the major leagues this year. All Bill
is asked to do is to get the Red Sox
out of the cellar, where The club
seems determined to entrench itself
byond the reach of cyclones and
prohibition.
Bill Is Firm
But Carrigan won't admit it can't
be done.
THE spirit Of this club is great, "
he said, indicating the playing field,
where Elmo Risney was kicking
Meusels grounder into left field. al.
lowing Combs and Ruth to score.
"As for the changes in the game
and the chances of our going some.
where" he continued, ASK me after
the Fourth of July and l may be
in better position to speak"
Carrigan said he was still study
ing the game as 1t is played in 1927
and trying to discover how best to
apply the winning formulate of a
previous decade or two.
In the few games I've seen this
season" Bill said, The most strik-
ing difference seems to be between
the ball used then and now"
Darlington referred to the smuggling
bee of Sunday.
II don't think the ball the Yanks
were hammering about was any
livelier than the ball Of 1916" he
said. The present ball sounds
punk 1t hasn't the ring and
solidity and life of the CID ball"
'Flattens Like Egg"
som times. on ordinary drives,
the ball flattens out like an egg.
That's why we have to buy 'em by
the bushel nowadays"
AS for the science of the game,
Darlington believes there has been
little change.
THE Cardinals played good, old
fashioned baseball last season. and
won the pennant and the world
series" he explained.
"Of course, in the old days, with
strong defensive club and a great
pitching staff. we could afford to lie
back and play tight ball.
This year" Bill added, some
