"A peculiar specimen, my
husband, " one may say. "Can
ne be the one l thought so
sleek, good looking, enterpris-
Ing, wide-awake- person who
took me to dances and wrote my
themes and ran away from school
with me? Is this nagging bit of
human f1otsam the same person I
married?"
And the young-old husbands
look at the listless wives and ask
themselves some questions.
No wonder. The majority Of early
marriages are contracted as Z
matter Of mere chronological mat
ing. I am not talking about or
tying to define the early emotional
response which prompts young mar
riages, simply the mere fact of early
wedlock being chronologically legit
innate. I point out that, at that
time, there is, in most cases, q
natural lack of consideration for
any future demands on the chang
ing mental age of the two.
One is bound to speed ahead of
the other in mental and social &C
complishments. Tastes change with
widening experiences. Ultimately
there must be no common meeting
ground on anything.
There are exceptions, of course
We all could point them out, But
we have no business with the eX-
ceptional; only the great and over
whelming majority. Mere pointing to
the exceptional marriages will not
fix our own case or the cases of the
rest of the world.
Dear Martha Lee--I am faced with a
problem that is no doubt common enough
to you. but very trying to me. Several
years ago while was still IN college
married a man with whom l was deeply
in love. 1t seemed to me that life was
very simple and not until after the birth
of my first child did I realize how COM
pick things really are, am now rs years
My husband has not done we'll .hnan-
cially and we are constantly. faced with
financial difficulties and their attendant
worriesS We have two children now, they
are old enough that can leave them with
and work. I have been doing this and
have a good position, but my husband
has caused nothing but trouble since !
Now that school and college associations
are thing OF the past, I !, am :, forced Or Ii, to
ing in common. aside from our children
we don't like the same things, the same
people-we are constantly at swords
points There will be no happiness for
either of US together, and feel that l
would be doing him the greatest possible
favor If we were to separate. He Is
hampering all my changes for future
and he isn't making good.
DO you think that I would be wise to
try to arrange peaceable separation and
to take the children myself with such
help for them as he could af aT{SA.-
Very wise, my dear Troubled. The
gods have favored you with a STEADY
mental growth far beyond your
chronological age and were not so
kind to your husband. 1 should add |
that it is no fault of yours and that
you would, in truth, be doing him a
favor to leave him. You must and !
probably do understand the tax or
a husbands morale to be chatting in
constant association with woman
with whom he can not measure up.
Sooner or later he will realize it, II
he does not now, and will be CRATE
full for your consideration.

WILL ENFORCE
ALL TRAFFIC
SIGNS MONDAY
Drivers Who Disregard
Stop Signs will Suffer
First Fines to be Small
but They will Grow in
Size.

Violators of the traffic signals
will be required to pay fines as
fast as the police officers can
catch them, beginning next Mon
day morning. The city council at
its meeting this week decided that
drivers had by now become famil-
lar with the location of the signs
and that the way to enforce the
ordinance was to enforce it. Mon
day morning the police will start
arresting violators.
The council doesn't want to seem
hard-bofled or tough about the
matter, so the first offense will
be punished lightly. The fine for
an ordinary failure to stop at the
signs will be one dollar and costs.
The judge will charge So for each
appearance.
The first arrest for traffic viola
tions will receive the minimum
fine. Each succeeding call to see
the judge, however. will become
more expensive.
Kennewick Avenue and Washing
ton street have been made arter-
lal highways and the intersections
have been posted with the stop
signs. The state highway is, of
course, a stop street, too.

HOLD CHARIVARI

The regular meeting of the
Business Girls club was held al
the. Commercial club rooms last
Monday evening. A great deal of
interest was displayed and several
items of new business were dis
cussed. One project of especial in
terest was the band concert to be
given Tuesday, where the girls
will sell ice cream for t he band
benefit. -- ~
After the meeting the girls
charivaried Mr.. and Mrs. Larry
Oliver. Judging from the noise
there wasn't any question as to
what it was all about. After the
congratulations and best wishes
were over they paraded the young
couple up and down the main
street. The charivari party finally
stopped lat Plowman's where
Larry treated the bunch to every
thing they wanted.

LUMBER YARD
DESTROYED BY
FIRE MONDAY
Blaze in Cheat Field Does
81, 900 Damape to John
Dover Co. at Finlev
Plan to Rebuild Soon

Fire from a field of dry cheat
demolished the entire stock of the
John Dover Lumber company at
Finley late Monday afternoon. The
loss is estimated at nearly $1,000
and was fully covered by insur-
ance.
The fire was first noticed on the
west end of the lumber yard. Man
ager Clyde Bush was Immediately
called and upon investigation it
was found that the fire in the
shed was underway and that it
would be impossible to extinguish
it. The lumber was exceedingly
dry and burned so rapidly that
there was not time enough to
save any great quantity. The
office of the yard was not dam
aged.
When first discovered the fire
was going SO strong that it was
considered useless to call the Ken
newick fire department. However.
as it spread and the flames be-
came menacing to adjoining build
ings and fields, the truck was cal
led as a precaution measure The
fire squad made a quick run to
Finley, obtained water fro m
a nearby irrigation sump, and
soon put an end to the flames.
They arrived too late to be of any
material assistance, as nothing
but burning piles of lumber were
left when they got there, but the
flames were kept from spreading.
The cause of the fire has not
been established other than that
the lumber yard caught directly
from some burning cheat. It is
thought likely that passing train
ignited the cheat.
This is the second important
fire in the Finely neighborhood
within a week, the Cresswell resi-
dence having burned recently,
while cheat fires have been very
common. According to the mana
ger of the John Dover Co. the
sheds will he rebuilt and COM
pletely stocked in the near future.

PUT NAMES ON

Patrons of the rural free deliv-
cry are again receiving notice this
week that one of the requirements
of the post office department is
that the patrons name MUST be
on the mail box. The name should
be painted in black letters, about
one and a half inches high. Post
master Shanafelt is urging local
patrons who have not complied
with this ruling to have their
names put on their boxes, not only
as matter of civic pride, but
also from the fact that it is al
most impossible for a substitute
carrier to give adequate service if
the boxes are unmarked.

HIGH WATER
WRECKS THE
RIVER BRIDGE
Repair Work May Take 2
Weeks = O.-W. Bridge
Also Damaged = Ferry
F.. Now in Operation Be-
low Span.


Thursday morning saw a ferry
in operation between Kennewlck
and Pasco once again, as result
of the collapse of the Kennewick-
Pasco highway bridge. The ferry
is large one, powered by two
Deisel engines, brought down the
river from Wahluke. The owner,
Wn. Glanzman, was kept busy to-
day transporting cars, trucks and
passengers between here and Pas
co. thus relieving the traffic con-
gestion which has accumulated
since the disaster. The ferry is
capable of making from three to
four round trips an hour.
After nearly six years of con-
tinuous service, 227 feet of the
wooden approach to the Kenne-
wick-Pasco highway bridge over
the Columbia river collapsed Fri
day morning about 10 o'clock from
pressure of the extremely high
water against an accumulation of
drift wood. No one was on the
bridge at the time it gave way
and no one was injured in the
crash tho several cars had crossed
but a few minutes earlier. DIR.
Spaulding, the last person to cross
the bridge, said that the broken
section was three feet out of line
when he passed that section which
toppled over before he had turned
the corner.
The O.-W. R. & N. railroad
bridge at Hedges was also ser
iously damaged as result of the
break in the bridge here. Wreck
age floated down the river and
lodge at the south end of that
structure, the pressure tearing out
four sections of the piling ap-
proaches. A crew of workmen was
able to get the wreckage clear and
prevented other from gathering.
The break was quickly fixed so that
trains were running over the bridge
again early this week.
The break in the highway bridge
was the direct result of large ac-
cumulaton of drift wood. The one
man detailed to. guard was unable
to keep the approch clear; tre-
mendors pressure from the high
water was sufficient to tearIaway
the piling and bridge timbers.
A pile driver, piling and other
supplies have been assembled and
the work of repairing the break is
well under way. 1t is estimated
that ten days or two weeks will be
required to do the necessary work
which the high water makes con-
siderably more difficult. The cost
of fixing the bridge will probably
be between ten and twenty thous-
and dollars.
Traffic on State Highway No. 8
was caused considerable confusion
by the break in the bridge. Stage
lines, trucks and tourists for a
time were at a loss to know what
to do. For a time the Richland
ferry was tied UP and on account
of the high water and floating
wood, ferry crossing was. consid-
cred hazardous. The stage lines
plying between Portland and Spo-
kane and Yakima and Pasco were
forced to stop at Kennewick. Be-
ginning Friday the stages will
cross on the ferry here, the land
ings being made ready today so
that such crossings would be made
less difficult. The Hover AMI Rich
land ferries are also operating and
have been working at full capacity
this week.
