perience when she gets her first

ed stenographer believed in dress

good to be true. She got the job.

of the Spokane club, was guest

East is good, according to P. A.
Combelic, local manager of X. Lane

DIV h1CndIQ
The twenty-first session of the
Washington legislature is on its
last leg, poised to adjourn late
Thursday night or early Friday
morning, leaving behind an all
time record for a minimum Of new
legislation and a maximum of
"turned down" bills. Nearly 400
bills of varied importance were
either killed or left stranded by
the wayside.
Its major enactments, some Of
which must yet pass by Governor
Hartley, are:
General budget, about $4O,OOO,-
900.
Road program, between 2,OO0,-
600 and $25,0O0,00O, the exact
amount being in doubt and will
probably not be determined until
late Thursday night.
One cent increase in gasoline
tax, making 3-cent tax, approved
by governor.
"Farm-to- Market" county road
system-based on the previously
listed increase in the gasoline tax.
The plan will distribute $4,4OO,000
in next two years among the 39
counties for county road systems.
Hartley excise tax bill-provid-
ing tax of per cent on the net
income Of financial institutions,
raising about $1,200,000 annually
to replace invalidated bank taxes,
which totaled $780, 900 annually.
Hartley bill to create department
Of highways, abolishing ex-officio
highway committee, thereby plac-
ing all highway affairs in the con-
troll Of the governor.
Hartley bill to create interim tax
investigating commission.
Higher salaries for judges of
supreme and superior courts.
Higher salaries for legislators
$500 year instead of $5 day
the proposal being in the form Of
a constitutional amendment to be
ratified or rejected by the voters.
Three bills to strengthen state
dry laws-mal1ing it a felony TO
manufacture liquor for sale, maxi
ing to a felony to sell liquor to any
minor, and providing for forfeit
ure of vehicles apprehended in the
transportation of liquor.
Permanent registration of voters
registration lapsing only when
registrant fails to vote or changes
precincts.
State aviation code.
Junior college bill, permitting
local levy up to 2 mills for junior
colleges.
But this legislatures casualty
list is impressive, featured by two
big refusals: Rejection by one
vote margin Of the Showalter plan
for reconstruction of the common
schools system, and the wrecking
of the Capitalization program urg-
ed by Governor Hartley. The SEN
ate was the graveyard of the Hart
ley Capitalization bills, the upper
chamber being reluctant to extend
the powers and authority of Mr..
Hartley. The outstanding failures
were:
Showalter school reorganization
bill.
Hartley bill for a central board
of regents.
Hartley bill to abolish milIage
system for schools of higher learn
ing.
Hartley bill to reorganize state
capitol committee.
Hartley bill to abolish state parks
committee.
Old-age pension bill.
Sutton bill to abolish office of
superintendent Of public instruc-
ion, also recommended by govern
II.
Bill for abolition of capital pun
shment.
Hartley bill to abolish indeter-
nate court sentences.
Judicial council bill to create in
court. of appeals.
Hartley bill to require corpora

icine. that sunlight is rarely factor
in the cause of cancer.
In the annual report Of the academy,
issued yesterday, it was stated that too
much sunlight is conducive to cancer
of the skin. The report warned against
excessive sun baths and too frequent
use of ray lamps.
There is vastly more danger from
influenza in staying out of the sun
light than there is from cancer with
plenty of sunlight" Dr. Bloodgood said.
THE ordinary amount of sunlight is
practically never cause of cancer"
DR.. Bloodgood said that there was no
danger at all in the ordinary case of
sunburn which heals quickly.

went on living in a physical life there
there where the light played in her

and went in her drawn face?
1t was too much. She lost the Sc

only the movements, heard only the
words, saw the outer evidence of the
emotions, in that other self of her,
which had been herself last night.

even of the fact. itself and only aware
Of it afterward. Many times she had
seen moving portraits of her own face

But the scene beyond the curtain had
vanished. Light had sprung up in the
white room. Radley was speaking in
answer to her cry. Before her, under
her clutching hand, sat the man whom
they had SO lightly dubbed Van Wrinkle:
She was still clutching him arm. And
he sat there blinking. dazed acting no
conspirator's part, plainly lost in the
thing that he had witnessed, astounded,
with genuioneness that no human be-
