The joke columns make
much fun of a new Years res
olution, but nevertheless usu-
ally the person, who makes a
plan to live by and who tries
to arrange his life so that he
will accomplish the things
which he aims at, arrives
nearer his destination than
the fellow who goes at things
in a haphazard manner.
This is an age of organiza-
ton of machinery and of de-
tail. After all there isn't any
reason why the individual
should not do a little organi-
zing for his own benefit as
well as big business.

THANKS KIWANIS
THE spirit of comradeship

and of fun which a SER
vice club brings to it's mem
bers composes one of it's chief
functions. To bring men of
different creeds, businesses
and faiths together to mix
and mingle and to exchange
ideas is in itself a worthy
achievement.
However, during the last
year, civic work, which all of
the people here should be
proud of, has been accom-
plished by this group. Per-
haps the most outstanding
of the long list of work, which
was reviewed at the annual
dinner and Inauguration of
new officers Monday evening,
is the underwriting of the
boy scout movement and the
promotion and financing of
the summer playground.
The necessity for the latter
is sometimes not realized in
a non-congested community
where there are fields and
open spaces for the young
sters to play in. However, UNI
directed play is sometimes
far worse for the children
than no play at all. This sum-
mer the children, with an av-
erage attendance of 35, fire.
quented the playfield where
a competent instructor super
vised the swimming in the
ditch, led in outdoor games,
narrated stories for the bene-
fit of the younger children
and above all taught the
children good sportsmanship
and cooperation.
The Kiwanis club merits
the grateful thanks of the
community for it's interest in
Kennewick, which is not only
evinced by participation in
civic movements but is DEM
onstrated in definite and
ways.

ONE DAY IN A WEEK
A ONE-DAY program cele

A ONE-DAY program cele-
brated in a similar man
ner in every community in the
State Of Washington will ush-
er in the Fourth Awakening
of Washington Week, Mon
day, February 18.
A spirit of state unity and
faith is the main object of the
five-year Awakening of Wash
ington campaign. 1t is felt a
spirit of statewide brother
hood will do much to elimin-
ate petty jealousies, enmities
and differences of opinion,
which have hindered the State
in developing it's unsurpassed
natural heritage.
Washington's annual pro-
duction is more than a box of
apples, a bushel of wheat, six
quarts of milk and a pound of
butter for every family in the
United States, exclusive of it's
leadership in other lines.
The states live stock, rab-
bit breeding fur, bee Gull
ture, bulb growing, canning
of fruits, berries and vege
tables, cranberry growing,
peppermint raising, and many
other crops will continue to be
grown in ever increasing
quantities.
Nearly 400 billion feet of
timber still stands. IL we in
clude the rest of the North
west there is in all nearly a
thousand billion feet. Lakes
such as Chelan, Occur d.
Alene, Pend d. Oreille, Priest,
Kootenai, Flathead, Arrow,
Okanogan and many others,
still offer bountiful supplies of
water for power and cities.
Washington now holds first
place in the United States in
hydroelectric power.
Faith in this unlimited
number of natural resources
and advantages with a will to
work together to bring about
their accomplishment, can
make Washington the most
prosperous state In the Union.
With this thought in mind
Awakening of Washington
Week was established.

COLOR

All the splendor of European
court life, almost overwhelming
in it's lavish richness, is shown in
Erich Won Stroheim's first Para
mount picture, 'The Wedding
March"
Someof the most colorful scenes
ever shown on the screen are pro-
duced and the added fact that
many of them have been repro
duced in technicolor insures that
the theatre-goer will see them in
all the gorgeousness of the origi-
mails.
The glittering pageantry of the
Austrian court at Vienna is shown
in contrast to the simple life of the
peasants. The gorgeous display
at the world-famous Corpus Christi
services in Vienna, with the En-
peror Franz Josef, the mobiles, the
large military retinue and the &c
clesiastical dignataries in colorful
costumes and trappings burst from
the screen in great magnificence.
All those who are interested in
high courage, the bravery of un-
selfish and unheeding youth, the
splendour of youthful sacrifice
and beauty of human comradship
should go to see wings" at the
Liberty theatre on Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week. 1t is a
film setting forth the work of the
young knights of the clouds in the
war. But it is far more than a
film. It is an epic of fearless
young manhood, paean of tribute
to the airmen whose wings are
folded forever"-as a beautiful
phrase of dedication says,-and it
is also an amazing example of
what can be achieved in the air.
How this picture ever came to he
made passes my understanding.
1t is no combination of trickery
and models, but realistic visual
ization of real people riding the
clouds and triumphing over the
! daWi.
The story is one of genuine
drama, rich with the finest quail
tiles that lie at the basis of the
friendships of youth, and touched
with infinite beauty of romance,
which runs through it like silver
thread in purple pail. For it is al
so essentially a picture of war, of
sacrifice, of stern conflict, of the
ultimate test of human endurance
and human conquest over fear.
Those who have no knowledge of
aviation and they constitute the
very great majority of theatre
goers as Of the general public
will marvel at the astonishing
scenes and sights presented upon
the screen,-scenes which are am
plified by mechanical methods un-
til at times it almost seems as if
you were part and parcel of the
vivid drama you are beholding.

BOY BANDIT PERCH
UNDER AUDITORIUM
fire ESCAPE RA|DED
Gang looting Warehouses IN
Mere Adventurous Wanton-
ness Is Uncovered

Raiding of a plumber cache under
the upper landing Of an auditorium
fire escape by Policemen Cleveland
and Reed. this morning. disclosed
that boy gangs have been playing
banditry in warehouses and garages
here. The police recovered a collec-
ton Of milk bottle caps, milk strain
crs and butter wrappers. hidden back
Of burlap flaps in a cubbyholc con-
structed much like a playhouse in a
treetop.
The stolen articles had ',cen taken
from the North American warehouse
on Ninth street along the 500 tracks
and were out of the stocks of the
Bridgeman-R Russell dairy. Entrance
had been gained by breaking q real
door.
Other boys who had played dctcc-
tives on the young bandits reported
the cache to the police and also
brought in some of the stolen sup
plies found in other hiding places.
The aid of the juvenile sleuths
started the police wheels turning on
what seems to be a widespread wan
ton raiding Of warehouses and gar
ages by two gangs of idle boys, some
yet in their teens. others not so far
over ten. The police we're preparing
to bring the matter before juvenile
court today, and we're getting COM
plants signed so that Judge Fred
Jansonius could do something to
break up the gangs and get the boys
off the path that otherwise might
lead to permanent criminality.
Two of the boys are sons of a con-
vict in the state prison here. serving
his third term. it was said by the Of
ficers. AS far as known, the boys
took nothing that could be of use or
pleasure to them, and their pilfcring
seems rather the result of within or
wantonness. The complaints against
them. therefore. are for the purpose
Of reforming them, not to punish
their thoughtlessness.
The boys who reported the plum
dering and the cache up in the iron
framework of the auditorium fire
escape said the gang who constructed
it and kept their loot there also had
stolen a lot of milk bottles somewhere
and had had 50 of them hidden un-
der a platform at the North Amer
lean warehouse, but that the bottles
have since disappeared.
The cache was constructed Of
boards laid across the horizontal
braces of the upright framework sup
porting the landing at the upper gall
lery entrance and exit. Other boards
closing the sides gave the cache a
boxlike construction. The eide facing
the steps of the escape was left open
and was ~curtained off with burlap
and bags. Entrance was gained by
ascending the steps and climbing
down the pipe supports from the
landing, merely a few feet, and then
twisting In under the steps and crawl

An airplane hangar at the United

James Horace Alderman, convicted
rum runner slayer Of two coast
guardsmen in 1927.
In announcing their decision last
night to erect a scaffold in the sea-

Federal Judge Halstead L. Ritter, to
keep persons other than officials from
witnessing the hanging.
A site for the execution was denied
twice by state authorities.
The gallows where the man known
as a "whiskey pirate" is scheduled to
hang is within the sheet iron hangar,
