ANOTHER NAME
To the Editor:

As a new conner on the Island
feel rather hesitant about sub
hitting a suggestion for a new
name for our Union High School,
yet | am venturing to do so. The
name Midday" seems TO CON
mend itself for several reasons. In
the first place it takes no recogni-
ton any particular section of eth
er Maury or Vashon districts. Sec
ond; it is a term which forces us
to think beyond our own Island
and Immediately establishes a
mental relationship with Seattle.
Tacoma and the entire bay coun-
try. As this section of the north
west becomes still more metropoli-
tan the Island will find itself pro
portionally important in relation
to such a growth. The name Mid
Bay" bids for the interest of sur
rounding cities and towns. Third,
the name Midday" lends itself
to use in school songs and yells be-
cause of the swing in saying OF
singing the name and because of
the combination of consOnants and
vowels and the possibilities of
rhyme. Even though this name
may not be acceptable the sug-
gestion may enable someone to
think Of better.
Yours truly,
Halsey Carstens.

Seattle Goodwill Industries

Reaching out like the protecting
branches of mighty oak, the spir-
lit and work of the Seattle Good
will Industries has spread TO over
sixty neighboring communities, all
working in conjunction and in
harmony with the local organiza-
ition. Tacoma, Aberdeen, Eveertt
and Vancouver, Washington, have
independent Goodwill Industries
who in turn have their respective
adjoining auxiliaries. So construc-
tive in its work, so far-reaching in
Iit results in solving economic con-
Iditions of both large and small
communities has the work Of this
organization become that it is
looked upon as solution of prob
lens that present themselves thru
handicapped destitute individuals,
who became community liability.
Social leaders throughout the
country recognize the Goodwill In
dustries as solution of their diff
ficulties. Seasonal occupation, i'll
ness, misfortune, each year throw
a percentage of the population into
a dependent condition that be-
comes local responsibility.
Treated as charity, these people
in time become a heavy burden,
with no possibility of diminish
ment. The Goodwill Industries
solve this condition through re-
constructing waste materials from
the homes and offices. The people
who do the reconstructing are the
individuals who are in need and
a small wage is paid for this work.
The reconditioned goods are sold
at cost of the work, enabling many
families to buy clothes and other
necessities for very low cost.
While working, these pepole are
given a chance to find their places
in the community again. In Seat
tie alone, 235 men and women need
ed help during September, repre-
senting eleven different nationali-
ties, sixteen denominations. This
is only about half that comes each
month, as September found better
working conditions. The outlying
communities play an important
part in carrying On this work. The
free employment office of the
Goodwill Industries serves the
whole Puget Sound territory. The
cooperation of each citizen is sol
icited for the saving of waste such |
as newspapers, books, magazines.
clothing, rags, bottles, knicksacks,
furniture, etc, in order to create
jobs for the handicapped and des-
titute among us, and bring about
the rehabilitation of the individu-
al and the family.

y
You're not behind plow.'
The two lines above ale the
start of Hollywood's most recent
ly popular dity, burst into sudden
favor by reason of the nautical at
mosphere resulting from Clara
Blows current starring picture
for Paramount, "The Fleets In"
Five hundred sailormen were
used in some of the scenes of the
production and an authentic
glimpse of what happens when
the men of the fleet are released
on shore leave is Unparalleled on

An average of ten new verses
for the song were shouted each
day by certain inventive vocalists
working in the picture. Chief
among them is James Hall, the
leading man, and Jack Oaki,e a
newcomer comedian, who has the
edge on the others by reason of his
recent experienc as a leading fun
ster in several New York musical
shows. The film will be shown at

WINGS FOR MOTOR CARS

The thrill Of watching someone risk his life, which
is the chief magnet, one suspects. that draws specta-
tors to the speed trials Of automobiles now in progress
in Florida, Is surpassed in permanent interest by an
item of engineering. The racing automobile has
borrowed both the heart and the wings Of the airplane.
Externally, the cars are stream lined to reduce air
resistance. vanes or other surfaces help them to hold
their courses through the air, as feathered shafts hold
true the flights Of arrows. Internally, engines per-
fected by aircraft experience are almost equal assets

plugs. exhaust pipes and other excresences have been
developed, 50 that everything is as slender and prOjec-
tile-like as possible. Experts have long known that
the overcoming Of air resistance drinks up too large
a share of the gasoline even In ordinary automobiles.
Racing car designers have learned that lesson we'll.

Congress Il obviously worried over the resppor-
tionment problem, and it il apparently the eoneensus
Of the house that its membership should not be in
creased over che existing number. ass. Reappcrticn-
ment will be necessary following the national census
of 1880. and how this can be accomplished without in
creasinz the number and at the same time assuring
equitable representation il n problem n house commit
tee is now endeavoring to solve.
There are many members Of congress who favor a
reduction instead Of an increase in the number Of mem
bcrs. They point out that the house is decidedly I'M
wieldy and that reduction in numbers would expedite
legislation; and that the house. with its membership
reduced one-third to o~ns-half, would be more repre-
sensitive of the interests Of the country than under
present conditions.
Theoretically, this idea is correct, but the record
Of the senate, composed OF two members from each
state, a6 in all. indicates that body is no more expe-
ditious in handling legislation than the house Of rep
resentatives. In fact, the reverse is true. However
the senate is handicapped by excessive dignity, a mass
Of traditions and customs as we'll as ridiculous rules
which initiate against efficiency.
Apparently. there is no controversy in the house IN
regard to the danger which would exist in increasing
the membership on respportionment. There is some
controversy over the method Of ~effecting this reappor.
ti1nment. The equal proportions method was used N
the last reapportionment in 1910, and it is fairly well
agreed in the committee to recommend this system for
the 1880 reapportionment. with some notifications to
meet present-day conditions.
The big contest in the committee, and certain to
be in the two branches, IL a bill reaches them this
session, is whether CONGRESS should retain its power
TO order reapportionment, or delegate that authority
admitting that IL Is unable to comply with the consti-
tutional requirement directing a reapportionment Of
the house every ten years.
IN a bill introduced BY Representative Fem and
approved by Representative Longworth, it is proposed
tosturn the reapportionment over to the department Of
commerce. This measure provides that henceforth,
after the census every tenth year, the department would
apply the reapportionment system provided in the bill,
and issue a certification Of house representation to the
states.
Representative Steiner OF New York has offered a
counter plan, which would require congress to insti-
tute the reapportionEent. Should CONGRESS fail to do
40. as was done in 1920, the bill would empower the
president to order the reapportionment by executive
proclamation.
Texas will be gretaly interested in any reapportion-
nent plan that may be adopted. The growth in recent
years indicates the state will be entitled to a material
increase in the number Of representatives, whereas
sveral Of the eastern and northern states will losc
representatives in the event the reapportionment plan
propose the retention Of the existing number Of mem
bers.

Modern theological seminaries find
their highest ideal in the school
Jesus established when he called his
twelve apostles.
Quit plainly the lesson tells us

twelve that they might be with him,
and that he might send them forth
20 preach" He needed the sympathy
Of their fellowship. weak and faulty
as they were, he was human enough
to be helped BY their fellowship.
He also wanted them 70 be with him
for study as for sympathy. They
were to be his pupils, 70 learn OF
him the purpose Of his mission i'm
the world. But all their learning Of
him was for the purpose OF equip
ping them for service: that he
might send them forth 10 preach,
and 70 have power to heal sick
nesses, and to cast out devils The
calling is with the view to sending.

me. all We" then Ego ye into all the

An era Of corpoFation-owned farms is predicted by
enc 81 the leading farm journals Of the middle west
which asserts that efficiency in agricultural produc.
tion and distribution requires a more centralized con-
troll OF the industry. Farms ranging from 10000 to
half a million acres. departmentized and managed by
experts in each Of the various branches Of agriculture
are forecast as the logical result Of the ~national de-
rand for greater efficiency and lower production costs
Farms Of this type will predominate in the future,

the logical 0utgrowth Of such organizations as the Cal
ifornia Fruit Growers Exchange or the Campbell farm
in Montana, which contains $4,000 acres. The laborers
on this receive Sc per day, minimum, and last season

The writer Of the article, pointing out the possi-
bilities Of farming Of this sort, says that IL is inevita-
bis because, for one farmer, however able, to acquire
enough Of his own capital to possess a large tract Of
land is most difficult"
What would become Of the farmer when tls ambi-
tious program materializes, is the first question that
arises. he might become a stakeholder in the cor
pcration, having sold his farm TO il. He might then
become an employee on the farm that was once his, but
