Ouercomins Fear Of Dark

Children who suddenly form an
aversion to the dark can often be
helped In overcoming this fear by
becoming more familiar with the
dark. We might play games In
dark rooms, and occasionally send
the children to unlighted rooms for
sweets or new toys. Sometimes
giving a flashlight, which he him
self can turn on at moments
notice, has been most helpful.

There was a good deal Of rejoicing in the
ranks of the basketball girls game with Kah-
lotus last Friday night when the score stood
36-12 in favor of K.H.S. The girls played a very
speedy game with neat passes, accurately
them did their best, the forwards making near
ly every basket they shot at and the guards
guarding so closely that the Kahlotus forwards
were unable to do much. Our two sub. guards
were allowed to do their bit SO that they could
gain letter this season. The center field con-
tinually blocked the passes Of Kahlotus and re-
was pleased with the good work of the girls
and the high school students expect good re-
suits next Friday when the girls play Prosser.
1t is certain that good fight will be put up
by our girls.

AMBITION : Edna Kimpel


Are we old or are we young; are we rich or
are we poor? Whether we desire to perform
deeds of merit or live to be hundred years
old. we all have certain ambition which is a
gift that we should treasure highly, Tor 1t Is
the spark in life which when combined with
other elements, will help us to achieve greater
heights.
1t would be impossible for us all to possess
the same ambition for we ave not all talented
along the same lines and our interest would
be lost in work foreign to our abilities. Never
theless one ambition should be placed above
all others, and that is the one to succeed in
all other ambitions. This can be done by culti-
waiting enough interest in the subject that no.
thing can hinder US from accomplishing 1t.
In school our desire might be to be the honor
student of the class, but enthusiasm should not
end there; for after we leave school greater
ambitions must be noted. 1t is then that ambi-
ton can truly be practiced.
Since Lindbergh is the outstanding hero In
recent history, we might wonder If ne had ms

BOYS SPORTS

Kennewick's championship hopes had a mar
row escape Friday when they barely nosed out
Pasco by a score of lilo.
The game was thrilling turnout and at no
time did one team have a decided lead over
the other. Pasco, however, found early in the
game that they could not penetrate the Kenne-
wick five-man defense so resorted to long shots
for their share Of the score
Kennewick played good floor game but
were having an unusually hard time finding
the loop until Joe Brown, diminutive forward,
replaced Omar Lincoln late in the game
Browns floor work, goal shooting and foul
throwing was all that saved the day for the
locals.
Next Friday KRIS. goes to Prosser to play
what is predicted to be the hardest game Of
the season. Prosser has been given a high
rating by league dopesters and the extreme
test of the year is expected there.
Coach Smith will take the team up early and
have a short practice in the afternoon to be
able to check the defense and accustom the
bows to the larger floor.

THE GENTLEMANLY ART OF FENCING

probably be two small boys anxiously seeking
to impale each other on the points of wicked

it is seen that the combatants wear closely
woven wire masks that protect their faces and
their swords are fencing foils made of hard
wood. The swordsmen are further protected
by leather gauntlets that extend to the elbows.

MOVES AGAINST
CR0AT LEADERS
May Lead to Civil War
for Autonomy

BELGRADE, Jogoslavia, Aug.
24.-Pressure is being brought by
Belgrade officials and members OF
the Serb party against the govern
ment to arrest M. Matchek, leader
of the Croatian Peasant Party, for
high treason because he sent
Krnjenvitch, secretary of the party,
to the Interparliamentary Union
Congress at Berlin and a telegram
protesting against the seating of the
Yugoslav delegates who were all
Serbs and calling the attention of
the Union to Croatia's fight for
autonomy.
In the meantime the Croatian and
Democratic parties holding a coali-
ton session in Laibach, voted an UNI
animous endorsement of Matchek's
action and agreed, Individually and
collectively, to assume responsibility
for it.
If the Yugoslav government now
wishes to take action against those
responsible for the move at Berlin
they would have to take measures
against all the members of the
Croatian Peasant and Democratic
Parties, which would amount to ex-
traordinary measures of suppress
sion, that could very easily lead to
armed struggle for independence in
view of the present mood of the
Croatian and Dalmatian rank and
flo
