HOOVER'S FIRST
 MESSAGE CONGRESS
 READ ID SOLONS
RIrLGES WITH RECOMNIENDA- TONS FOR MANY CHANGES
 IMPROVEMENTS
WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 4, tP)

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 4, tPl The Presidential message bulg- ing with recommendations, chang es and improvements in function ing federal departments, was sub nlitted to Congress by President Hoover who is just rounding out his ninth month in the White House.
 The message was read separate ly in the House and in the Sen ate by clerks. Nearly full mem berslaip was present in their res pectiye chambers.
 12,OOO WORDS
 Speedy end of the tariff con- troyersy, prompt tax reduction, and the strengthening of pro- hibition enforcement, was urged upon Congress in President Hooy- er's first message on State and Union.
 IA score of other proposals were contained in the 12,000 word document which the Chief Ex- ecutiye sent to both houses for reading in which he gave an ac- count of his nine months stew ardship of the White House.
 CANNOT CONCEAL TRUTH 
 Calling for cooperation from the average citizen in making statutes effective, the President said that the attitude of the man who selects particular laws to obey may obscure but cannot conceal the ugly truth that he is a 1awbreaker, who ever he may be- and is an enemy of so- ciety'
 Tha President stood squarely on the position he took at the opening oz the special session oi Cong when he asked that tariff rites beneficial to agTituI- tare and industries, which have not been prosperous. and but into official language his known desire of one per cent reduction from individual incomes and corporation taxes, and once again asked for a broad principle and 2 flexible tariff by which the Ex- ecutiye may order rate changes
 That upon his recommendation the tariff commission be retain ed. The Senate voted that this power should lodge in Congress.
 Among the Presidents many suggestions was the one that the major prohibition enforcement ac- tivities be transferred from the treasury to the justice depart ment.

Sidewalk convenience ceases to exist
when the volume of traeac approaches
800 persons per foot OF width per hour
according to the results Of an investi-
cation reported to the American 1nsti-
tute of Architects by Miller MCClintock
director of the Erskine bureau for
street trafhc research of Harvard
University.
There are many locations in ONCE
building districts in the United States
where this convenience factor has beer
exceeded. A continued piling up OF
demands by additional structures only
can have the effect Of discouraging the
full use of the structures which are
upon the sites adjacent to these areas
says Mr.. McClintock.
1T is a wonder that designers and
owners of Office buildings have not
been more alert to this situation. There
appears to be no tendency. for example
toward the use of the 2rcaded sidewalk
even in new structures in districts where
trafic conditions are critical.
The sidewalk set within the building
line offers such advantages in public
comfort. and in good merchandise dis
play, a. well as in added street capacity.

REAL ESTATE, IS CALLED

President Lowell Points Out in Ad-
dress That Harvard Offers
Course in Practice.

President A. Lawrence Lowell, Har-
ward University, in his address before
the convention of the National Associa-
ton OF Real Estate Boards in Boston,
told the realtors that Harvard, in con-
ferrtng degrees on its business admins
tiation school graduates, termed bust
ness the Oldest Of the arts and the lat
est OF professions"
President Lowell declared that fIar-
ward takes cognizance of real estate as
A profession when 1t offers q course In
real estate practice in the School OF
Business Administration. He pointed out
likewise that the School of Architecture
and Landscape Architecture has for
years given course In city planning.
Education. religion and professions
are the enduring things in life" Presi-
dent Lowell continued. II ask myself
II you realtors are engaged in a pro-
fession. A profession, I believe. means
body OF men who are banded together
with the sincere conviction of the value
Of the calling which they follow. They
enter their professions as q means Of
livelihood, but they see In 1t something
more than that livelihood. They see
in it the value that there is to mankind
in its existence. They feel a loyalty to
the members of their profession and to
the institution itself.
The real test of whether your work
Is profession is this: Do you feel that
the profession to which you belong has
something In 1t OF enduring value apart
from a means OF livelihood. something
that makes 1t worth while for man
something that you are ready to work
for. something that you are ready to
improve. something that will make the
life Of your children yet to come into
the world better. more worth living. be-
cause you were realtors?"

Vashon Island Golf Club Stage
Successful Affair.

On last Thursday evening the
members, and their wives, of the
Vashon Island Golf Club held a
most enjoyable meeting at Watse-
ka Lodge.
The original plans We're for %
picnic supper on the golf course,
but while the weather was not
such as to dampen the ardor of
the men enthusiasts, the ladies'
were in favor of drier, warmer
dining quarters, so in response to
Mrs. Richards invitation the
picnic was held in the beautiful
living room at Watseka, over
looking Quartermaster harbor.
This is the first of number of
delightful affairs being planned
by those belonging to the Club.
If the men, who by the way,
planned this picnic-dinner, ex-
cell proportionately in their game
of golf, the Vashon Island Golf
Club may well expect to develop
a goodly number of champions.

BUSINESS MEN DISCUSS
PLANS FOR CARNIVAL

AT a meeting of the Business
Mems Club Of Vashon held Mon
day night, plans for a mammoth
carnival to be held in July were
discussed at great length, and the
facts shown indicate that this is
to be the biggest event of the
kind ever pulled off on the Island.
The carnival last year was for
the purpose of raising money for
buying fire-fighting equipment
and out of the funds the Club
has purchased an auto truck,
adequate hose, axes, ETC., a
nucleus for complete fire depart
ment such as few rural com
muitites can boast.
While part of the proceeds of
the carnival this year will be used
to further add to this equipment,
a substantial part of the amount
realized will be appropriated as
the initial part OF the amount
necessary to take care of the
school Indebtedness which stands
in the way Of even beginning
toward new high school build
ing being made in the very near
future.
While the district of which the
village of Vashon is a part is in
no way involved in this indebt-
edness, these business men feel
that they are but paving the way
for an lsland-wide movement
which will result in an early re-
tirement of this school debt, then
the way will be cleared for voting
the bonds and seeing the fruits Of
the movement begun over a year
ago when we decided so unimously
that we favored a union high
school

Child is Injured by Dynamite.

tim Monday morning when a cap.
with which Clarence Garner was
playing exploded, badly injuring
his left hand. DR.. Grandy was
called, and cared for the boy,
bun he was later taken to Tacoma
to a hospital. as an eye was in
iured, and it was thought advis-
able to consult an oculist to de-
termine definitely how great the
injury was. II is not anticipated
that any further trouble in the
eye win develop, and the sight is
not injured.
The little fellow is only eight
years Of age, and it is indeed sad
that an accident of this sort
should have marred an otherwise
perfect body.

On Monday the receiving sta

The first fruit to be handled
is the crop of gooseberries. 1t is
anticipated that ITO tons will be
marketed, for which the growers
will net practically 312 cents per
pound.
Elmer Harmeling, the largest
individual grower, will probably
ship 40 tons. Instead of shipping
the fruit in boxes it is now ship
ped in gunny sacks, and it is re
ported as reaching the canneries
in perfect condition.
Strawberries are moving more
slowly, as the market is duller,
but even so, the members of the
association will receive from ) to
6 cents net.
AS the result of this cooper
ativc marketing the $50 members
OF the association are assured Of
a certain return for their produce.

to do its bit " to make the world
happier and better, in at least one
little corner. Its treasury funds
ae vey limited, augmented from
time TO time by cooked food sales
during the camping season, but
the ladies have paid out nearly
thirty dollars this spring to make
conditions safer and more con-
venient for visitors and picnic
parties. To assure safety for the
children, the merry -go-round has
been removed and the water and
drinking fountain taken across
the street to the group of
beautiful trees near the corner Of
the McClintOck Homestead. The
stove has been fitted up with new
parts and a load of wood bought
The grass has been cut also and
trails widened.
If visitors to the grounds viii
be so thoughtful and appreciative
as to burn all the paper plates,

the tin cans and refuse, the place
will always be clean and sanitary
for the next people who come.
The ladies have no truck or
