A mooh had come up, bathing

discern nothing, but when Carroll
began to descend and they were
within 1000 feet of the earth,
it seemed to her that they were

Carroll began to circle, dropping

This confidence in his skill was
not misplaced, for Carroll made

He sprang from his seat and
helped Madge to alight.~ AS he
did so. far one brief instant, she
was in his arms, and her heart
fluttered.
Her pulse quickened during that

'KIDDIES WILL
HAVE AQUATIC
MEET SATDAY
Sixty Swimmers are Signed
up for Big Contest at DUFF
fly Pool Saturday Afternoon
VIII Play Horse Shoes
Next Week.


Sixty kiddies will laugh at the
hot weather Saturday afternoon as
they dive and swim in the Duffy
swimming pool. They will shout,
play and have a good time while
others not so fortunate suffer
from the piercing rays Of old Sol,
for the said sixty kiddies viii be
participants in the aquatic meet
put on by the town and Kiwanis
club playfield.
For the tournament the child
rem will be divided into three
groups: beginners, Intermediates
and advanced. The events for the
beginners, not all of whom are able
yet to swim, consist of a dash Of
ten yards, running dash for fifteen
yards, plunge, kneeling dive, stand
ing dive and ball relay. There are
thirty entrants in this division and
in addition to having a real good
time they expect to learn some-
thing.
In the intermediate division
there are eighteen entrants. Their
events are much the same as those
of the beginners and includes a
dash of Is yards, plunge, float, re-
lay, plain dive from board and
ball relay.
In the advanced class the events
are less elementary. In this divis-
ion there will be thirty yard
dash, plunge, 15-yard dash, back
stroke, water treading and float
ing contest, shoe relay, candle
race, plain dive, jack knife or swan
dive, water polo and old clothes
race. .aeHS
The old clothes and shoe races
have been causing Miss Harriet
Hudnall, director Of the playfeld,
considerable worry. High shoes,
which are in demand because ok
fords have a tendency to come
off when in the water, seem to be
scarce articles around Kennewick.
Next week a rather novel form
of entertainments in the way Of q
horse shoe tournament will be
tried out. At this tournament al
the attendants Of the playfeld win
try their hands at throwing ring
ers and the exalted champion Of
the ancient rural art will be crown
ed.
The contest Saturday afternoon
swill start promptly at 1:30 and
will probably last until five. Ev-
eryone interested is invited to
attend.

AIR MAIL RATES DROP

Effective next Wednesday, Aug
ust 1st, the rate on air mail mat
ter will be five cents for the first
ounce and ten cents for each adj
ditional ounce. The present rate
is ten cents for each half ounce
and inasmuch as the ordinary let
ter does not weigh over one-half
ounce, the new rate will be about
one-fourth of the present rate.
This should make the air mail sel,-
vice immensely popular.
Kennewick residents have been
good patrons Of the air mail ser
vice and Postmaster Shanafelt re-
ports that the number Of air mail
letters deposited each day is rap
idly increasing. The Varney air
lines report that all records were
broken in the Pasco-Salt Lake di-
vision for the month of June. An
average of 262 pounds was carried
daily, being a ten per cent increase
over May and a 80 per cent in
crease over June 1927. Over TOO
pounds of mail have been cal ried
on this route during. the first six
months Of 1928.

Winner, Talks to Local Club
About Famous Flight Club
Again Interested in Getting
Suitable Flying Field.

Aviator extraordinary, Martin
Jensen, accompanied by his wife,
were guests of the local CONNER
cial club at the weekly luncheon at
Plowman's today. Mr.. Jensen was
the pilot of the plane Aloha, which
won second money in the Dole
race from California to Hawaiia
last summer. He gave an interest
ing account of his flight and also
of the search for the Golden Ea-
gle, one Of the planes in this race
which was lost. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jensen are touring the country in
their plane in the interests Of a.
Walton and are stopping at the
Pasco field for two or three days.
Mr.. Jensen announced that he will
make several flights there and
will take up passengers. Anyone
wishing to make flight in this
famous plane can do so by visit
ing the Pasco air field.
Plans are being laid by the To-
cal club to put Kennewick on the
map from an air standpoint and
the aviation committee of the club
has selected several tentative sites
for an airport. Mr.. Jensen in
spected two of these and declar-
ed that either one would make a
splendid commercial field.

Five blistering days-all of 'em

The beginning was rather mild.
Sunday being only 102 degrees;
Monday picked up bit, getting ur

with but one less, scoring 10s; to-

The weather this week has not
set any new records for Kenne-

hotter this summer than it has
been for several years. Last year
on July % the thermometer went
to 100 and on the 23rd to 104, again
on the 18th to 101.
While many acclaimed Thursday
the hottest day of the year, in
reality it was two degrees cooler
than Tuesday. The seeming diff
ference was due to the increased
humidity. Private thermometers
in town and in, the valley gave
two and three degrees higher tenn
peratures than the Spiegelberg
station on the hill.

distress, the republican leaders are
satisfied that the "cow Counties
will show more and more appre-
citation of Mr.. Hoover as the cham
pion of the dry cause.
Sam Sumner, republican state
chairman, has decided that he
should not seek the republican
nomination for lieutenant governor,
feeling obliged to carry on the
work of organization for the bene-
fit of the party. His decision has
seemingly won the approval of
both factions, the common i'm
preston being that Mr.. Sumner
showed himself to be worthy re-
