PASSION PLAY AT U. OF w,

The greatest thing in this
Christian country is the life of
Christ, and around this life was
written the great Passion Play.
Civilization is built upon it, the
good, the true and the beautiful
all come from it and law and order
are the direct result of it. Before
our Very eyes all this will be pre-
sented in the University of Wash
ington Pavilion commencing with
the first performance ON Friday
July 26, at eight O'Clock.
The simplicity of greatness
dominates every episode in this
great Passion Play. 1t is the
drama of Christian, human life,
closely identical with the actual
tiles of two thousand years ago.
The players are actors. The
Christus is played by Mr.. Beres-
ford Loyett, well known to the
English stage. Also eminently
known is Miss Maude Fealy, who
portrays Mary Magdelene.
When the production is present
ed in Seattle under the auspices
of the Associated Students and
under the personal supervision
and management of Clarence Il.
Cramcr of Chicago, it will be in
vested with every possible con-
sistent amplification, such as
music, lighting effects, chorus,
soloists and orchestra.
No one can afford to miss this
play, as it is the source of inspir-
alton and encouragement to the
weary and heavy laden and a
solace to all human beings
struggling with the sings and
arrows Of fortune.

BEULAH p1ERsoN

Even though for the past
several months it was evident
that the life could not long be
spared, nevertheless when the
news came that Mrs. Pierson had
passed away the community was
sdddcned. Her patient suffering,
and her mfailing thought for
others had been a marvel to all
with whom she came in contact.
Even in her moments of greatest
suffering Mrs. Piersm was most
concerned about the members of
the family who ministered to her
needs.
|, Much could be said of the
beauty Of this good woman's life,
but nothing greater than that her
life was devoted to her husband
and children, and spent in service
to them.
Beulah Sisco was born in Union
City, Michigan, December 1st,
1884 With her parents she NOV
ed to Oregon, and later to Seattle,
where in 1902 she was married to
Phil Pierson.
In 1904 Mr.. and Mrs. Pierson
established their home at Vashon
where their two children were
reared.
Mrs. Pierson passed to her resi-
June 18th, after lingering i'll
ness Of more than a year.
Funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon from the Presby.
terian Church, conducted by the

Beside many friends Mrs
Pierson is survived by her

Last week the Tacoma Tribune
contained am editorial in regard
to the festival ON Saturday. In
addition to this some mighty fine
things were said about MS, by our
big neighbor across the Sound.
The "Washcoegg" of June 18th
contained a well written article
by Joseph Huppman on the subject
Of Vashon Island, and illustrated
by a picture of the Mountain and
the Island. The article was not
only well written, but it also con
tanned many valuable facts.

Local Boat Makes
Fine Record in
Marathon Race

Seldom has such local interest
been aroused in any sporting
event. as that evidenced in the
Seattle-Olympia Marathon out
board motor race which took
place last Sunday morning.
Ordinarily the announcement OF
such race means but little to all
but few, but when it was known
that local boat, the Bay-Bee,
owned by Donald Morgan, aud
piloted by Earl Watson and Bob
Weiss, was one of the entrants, the
interest was general.
When the race started, at
Ballard Locks, at $40, the water
was comparatively smooth, but
by the time the boats were out
in the open water stiff wind
had risen, and the white caps
were rolling, resulting in one OF
the most gruelling races ever ex-
perienced on Puget Sound.
The boys report that the water
was the toughest they ever ex-
perienced, that at times the
Bay-Bee, propeller and all, was
completely out Of the water, as it
breasted the five-foot waves. One
pilot declared that he didn't
mind five or seven foot jumps,
but that Is or 90 feet was going
just a bit too strong.
The Bay-Bee, entered in Class
B, was leading, and almost with
in sight of the goal, when the
propeller hit piece of drift wood,
and shcared pin. While this
was being replaced they We're
passed by the winner of Glass
b, resulting in their finishing
second.

charge of Evelyn Olsen, and she
saw to it that everyone present
at the festival received a large
map Of King County. The booth
was painted orange and black and

Mr.. Blum.
The minstrel show was present

festival, directed by DR.. Grandy,
wish TO express their apprecia-
ton to all who assisted in any way
by suggestion, work or financial
aid. Never have we seen such
splendid cooperation and willing
