"HER BLESSED BOY"

(Review by Dorothy Morford)
'ln my day and time Children were
seen and not heard" so saith Aunt
Virginia, in "Her Blessed Boy" a
play in three acts which was present
ed by the seventh and eigth grades
under Mr.. Melville's direction, Friday
evening, March 3oth, at the High
School Open House.
The first act finds the Tingle fam
lily in a state of nervous expectancy
over guest-her BLESSED Boy" who
is the son of school chum of Mrs.
Jingle (Orpha White.) His age and
name are unknown by them. How
ever, they suppose that he is young
in age and a sissy in actions. so the
various members of the family look
upon him with contempt.
In the second act sixteen year old
Tom civilian Ha1l) and Aileen,
(Mary Stone) the Irish maid are plot.
t:ng together. A message has been
received stating that the expected
guest will not arrive until evening,
since he has m ,ssed train connections.
Knowing that the family will be very
much disappointed, Tom rents" from
Aileen her small brother Dennis
Charles Lee). The latter proves to
be ruffian and all the Tingles are
very much alarmed at the prospect of
having him with them for a month.
In the midst of the excitement Den
mis- mother, Mrs Malone (Hazel
Montgomery arrives. She desires
nothing so much as her darling
Dennis Boy" And you may be sure
that he is gladly restored to her.
In the third and last act, the bles-
sed boy-hinself arrives. This part is
ably played by Walter Mykol. He
proves TO be a boy of sixteen and
neither ruffian nor a sissy with gold
en- curls. He does not mind the ducks
and rabbits which decorate his. bed
room walls, nor the toys which were
purchased for a Sissy! In fact, he is
very likeable and easily pleased.
Other members of the cast were
Charles and Howard. (Franc.s Shana-
han and Lewis Angle), the youngest
in the family, and Edith (Lenoir Nc
Murry), the nervous invalid.

URGE EARLY DIAGNOSIS

For the first time since it's organ
ization eight years ago, the Benton
County tuberculosis League is
waging special educational cam
paign placing exclusive emphasis on
the early diagnosis of tuberculosis.
1t will continue during March and
April.
'Mcst easily cured of all chronic
diseases when discovered early stated
a county worker, tuberculosis is so IT,
sidious IN its stealthy onslaught on the
human body that most victims do not
know they are in danger until the
diasease has progressed so far that
the chances of effecting cure are
greatly lessened.
Let your doctor decide" is to be
the slogan CT the campaign. Benton
county is not alone in this campaign.
It is being waged all over the county
by the tuberculosis Leagues, 1900 in
number.
Very shortly bill boards will appear
in the county, emblazoned with the
warning, "You May Have Tubercul-
sis. Watch for these danger signs,
too easily tired; loss CT weight; in
digestion; cough that hangs on. Let
sour Doctor Decide" The poster
space has been donated by Barr and
company, bill posters.
Mrs. E. w. R. Taylor of Prosser
has been named by the Leauge as
president, with Ms. o. K. Williamson
IN charge of the campaign. The other
committee members are Miss Monica
Weber, Mrs. Morton Jarvis and Mrs.
3. D. Mineah Of Prosser, Mrs. I. M.
Hartman and DR.. F. S. Hedger of
Kinoa- Benton, Mrs. G. H. Shanafelt
of Kennewick, Mrs. M. s.. Meeks Of
White Bluffs and Mrs. Ida M. Tea
chout Of Richland.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST T..s.

In announcing the nationwide CAM
paign for the Early Diagnosis of Tu-
berculosis to be launched by the Ma
tional Tuberculosis Association on
March /, Professor H. S. Broor,
President of the Washington Tuber-
cuiosis Association, says, "The great
est obstacle in the contol of tuber-
culosis has been the fact that it is not
always diagnosed until the disease has
progressed to cons derable degree,
CT, IN some instances. even beyond the
hope of recovery.
1T is obvious that no one can be
cured OF tuberculosis without his con-
sent. He must first secure an exam
nation by a competent physician and
then follow the prescribed treatment
Ter a sufficient length of time. if he
is to be cured. And the earlier the
diagnosis is made, the more certain
the hope of cure.
The campaign for Early Diagnosis
which is being sponsored in this state
by the Washington tuberculosis AS
so-iation and its th.rty-two affiliated
county leagues is intended to awaken
the public to the dangers Of a DELAYED
diagnosis. It is to be search for that
large group of people who have tu-
bsrculosis and do not know it. It is
to familiarize them with the early
symptoms of the disease and to arouse
them to a realization of the import
ance of an immediate diagnosis, and
to convince them that therein lies the
hope of cure"
Special articles by the leading ma
tional authorities on tuberculosis will
appear in medical journals, magazines,
and newspapers throughout the coun-
try, while billboard posters, window
cards and motion pictures will be
shown generally throughout til. 5 ute.
This campaign is being planned to
reach every county in Washington, ac-
cord ng to President Brode, and the
cooperation of the medical. education
al, and other interested groups is be-
ing rapidly enlisted so that the pro-
gram may be begun promptly on
March /.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM

Here is a simple metiloo G. testing
sand to find cut whether it has much
clay with it to make a desirable
concreat. Put 4 inches Of the sand
into a Pint PRESERVING jar. Fill the jar
with clear water to within an incn
of the top. Fasten the lid. Shake the
jar thoroughly until the whole is
we'll mixed. Set the jar aside and allow
the sand will go to the bottom.
The clay ancl loan will form layer On
top Of the sand. If more than three
cights of stl inch of clay or loan
shows, the sand is not clean enough
for making concrete. Either new
source of sand must be found CT the
sand must be washed to rid it of the
surplus of clay and 1oam. Farmers

WHAT BECOMES or HuNsp

What becomes of the Hungarian
cartridges that stage periodic disap-
pearances from their accustomed
haunts?
DR.. D. ]. Leff.ngwell, instructor il,
department of zoology at the State
College proposes to answer this ques-
ton. DR.. Leffingwell has assisted
the Spokane county game commission
in banding and releasing 200 Huns as
a means of ascertain.ng whether they
flee.
"The BIRDS were imported from
CZechC- Slovak'a at cost of $500.
in order to introduce new stock into
the country" DR.. Leffingwell ex-
plains. "They were banded with
small aluminium bands which read:
Please notify w. S. c., Pullman,
Wash In this matter the commits
sion of Spokane county and the col
lege specialists will be able to deter
mine how far and where the birds
migrate"
The cartridges are found in only
about five states of the Union, ac-
cording to the State College man.
They were all imported originally from
Europe where they are native, he
says.
Home-making is more important
than housekeeping, although it usu-
ally includes housekeeping as part of
itself. "Too often," an authority on
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS says 'time and en-
ergy consumed in housekeeping have
made real home-1naking impossible. !"
