FOLKS here ATTEND
HOOVER INAUGURATION

Nearly every one in this valley with
receiving set, in company, probably,
with every one else in the whole
country, SO equipped, tuned in Mon
day to hear the inaugural ceremonies
of President Hoover, broadcast by a
nationwide hook-up, from Washing
ton, D. C..
The broadcasting began at 7:30
Pacific Standard time in the morning,
and continued until late in the after
noon. The radio reception here was
Unusually good, there being very little
disturbance until near the end at
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
1t is doubtful if any one in this val
ley ever attended in person a presi-
dental Inauguration, so that every
thing in connection with the one
Monday was new and nearly every
listener got real thrill out of it. The
inimitable and popular Graham Nc
Nance was the announcer before the
microphone and his ability to give "a
round by round, inning by inning"
running story of the ceremonies, with
all the little personal touches, helped
a lot to make the affair interesting to
those who witnessed the Inauguration
through his eyes.
An innovation in radio broadcast
ing, so far as the general public is
concerned, was added for a short time
about noon when the announcing was
done from an airplane flying over the
city of Washington.
All of the high school students
heard the radio account of the cere-
monies, the juniors and seniors at the
drug store and the freshmen and
sophomores at the G. S. Harrington
home

w "a |. CLUB NOTES

One Of the pleasantest meetings OF
the year was held in the club room in
the Lutheran church last "Wednesday
afternoon. A good attendance OF the
membership and many guests were
present to enjoy the splendid program
on Gardens" prepared by three in
spired members.
Mrs. McMurry, the first speaker,
took UP the work in the beginners
garden. Her paper dealt with ANIMALS
and perennials. The Friendship Gar
den" grown from cuttings, seeds and
roots, given by kindly neighbors, at
fords much pleasure.
Mrs. Meeks talked of Bulbs and
Their Culture" the kinds easiest and
best grown here, tulips, daffodils
Madonna and Regal lilies, and spoke
briefly of the various wild bulbs
found here.
Mrs. Taylor took up the advanced
work of the gardner, handspring. "
She said: "A garden should be plan
ned as definitely as house if It is
to be a thing OF beauty and Joy for
ever. 1t should be planned with re-
lation to the house, its size, and de-
sign and location.
Even small garden plot has the
greater beauty for having been the
object of thought and careful plan
ming. So often, in the haphazard
garden, too much is expected of the
space provided, and with equal fire.
quency too little is achieved. Definite
planning will prevent both results. !"
In brief, she advised mass instead
of specimen planting of shrubbery-
from three to five Of kind for the
best effect, these to be of native kinds
as much as possible, the general
scheme for color masses of foliage
and blossoms throughout the season.

The next study meeting Of the wo-
mans Club will be held March Is.

COLD BUT SUNNY

In contrast to the preceding month
February can boast of record OF
10 sunny days, only nine being cloudy,
and six partly cloudy according to the
monthly report of F. c. Koppen, ir
charge Of the weather station at Wah-
luke.
But although there was more sun
slime, February established something
of record for continued cold, there
being nine consecutive days, from
the 7th to the 10th, when the ther-
rnometer showed sub-zero weather.
These temperatures ranged all the
way from 2 to Is degrees below
zero. The lowest mark was on the
9th when the temperature dropped
to is below.

ICE CEMETERIES RUNNING

The ice jams in the Columbia river,
that have tied up the ferries for sew
eral weeks, have gone out and both
the Wahluke and White Bluffs ferries
are again operating. All of the lodged
ice is out Uf the river at Wahluke.
The lower part of the Jam at the
White Bluffs ferry crossing was still

aboveit.
The water in the river is lower now
than it has been for several years.

/ BOOST YOUR BAND

Do you remember when you were
young? Stood on the street corner
and watched the circus go by? And
then came the band wagon and how
you enjoyed it! You will have an OPP
portunity to enjoy that. very. same
thrill at the St. Patrick's Cabaret
Dance and Show Saturday, March
10th, Hartford Community Hall. You
can be with the boys on the band
wagon and be part of the circus
This is going to be the best entertain-
ment and dance given in the valley
There will be something doing every
minute and when you are asked to
buy tickets by the band boys, don't
hesitate, but buy and tell them you
are glad for the opportunity. This will
help the band and at the same time
you will get your moneys worth and
have the best time you ever had.
There will be many surprises thru
out the evening. The program has
been we'll selected and the acts all
head liners. The orchestra, with their
hot jazz numbers, will make you
tingle from the top Of your head to
the tips of your toes. The lunch that
will be served will make the Royal
Chefs look with envy on those who
are in charge. The service you will
receive from the walters, who have
been carefully selected, will please
the most exacting. It will be against
the rules for the walters to receive
tips, unless they divide them with the
head walters and the cooks. The head
waiter is well skilled in his art and
will receive you with the grace Of his
profession and will meet you at the
door.
Make your table reservations early
so that you will be sure and have a
table. If you are not asked to buy a
ticket, call UP any one Of the band
boys-and they will be right there
as they do not wish anyone to miss
this opportunity.

ADVANCE IN STOCK
MARKET RESUMES
Prices Shoot Upward as
Strong Buying Support
Steadies Whole List.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, october 5.-The stock
market today experienced its first i'm
pressive recovery since prices started
downward about a month ago. Heavy
buying for both long and short &C
counts sent scores Of issues up to 10
points, and a sprinkling of high priced
specialties whirling IL to so points, on
q total turnover that fell just short OF
100000 shares for the two-hour ses-
sion.
While the violence of the advance is
likely to attract some proflt-taking next
week, several Of the large commission
houses advised their customers that
Fridays low prices probably would
stand for some time, and that the
market was in much strengthened
position as a result of the drastic clean
out earlier in the week.
Rally Starts ut Opening.
The rally started with the opening
gong and continued throughout the
session, final prices generally being
around the high levels of the day.
Tobacco issues gave one OF the most
impressive demonstrations of strength,
as result Of the unexpected increase
in cigarette prices announced by three
of the leading manufacturers.
While thousands of small spectators
are reported to have been cleaned out
by the declines of the last few days,
stocks generally are believed to have
passed from weak to strong hands.
Barring an unexpected flood of new
financing this week, brokers' loans are
expected to show a recordbreaking de-
crease next Thursday.
Commercial Solvents was the spec
tacular individual feature, soaring SO
points. American Tobacco B ran up
nearly 40 points. the A stock more than
30 points, the Liggett & Myers issues
about 16 each and Lorillard 1923.
Other Advances.
Columbian Carbon, Simmons Co..
Standard Gas & Electric, General Elec-
trio, American g. Foreign Power and
Detroit Edison closed 10 to 20 points

blister is merely a place on the accumulation of fluid between the lower and upper layers of the skin.
 The fluid does not contain germs, but is made up of fluid ma terial filtered in from the blood The blister will not do any harm as long as it is not infected. For this reason the advice is given 10 let the blister alone so that the blood may absorb the fluid.
 The Safe Way to Do It
 If the blister is inconveniencing it's posses5or, it is probably safest to remove the fluid by the follow ing method: Cleanse the area thoroughly with some antiseptic, such as alcohol, tincturc of io- dine or mercurochrome; then steril- izc a needle by heating it first in a flame; tunnel under the silln into the blister, and the fluid will come out through the tunnel and the tis- sues of the body will take care of the rest.
 Of course, the safest advice is not to attempt any surgical pro ! cedure, major or minor. but to i leave this to a physician who has i been properly trained in such | matters.

Talks 1o6&2 &&&+ parer,ts
DAWDIER By Alice Judson Peale

Dressing herself in the morning takes Katherine the better part or an hour and requires good deal of moral support from every adult within call.
 Twenty times during the process she comes running to be assured that she is doing it properly, 20 is waiting and that she must hurry, hurry, hurry. Even then, although she Is six years old, buttons must be buttoned for her and shoe faces tied.
 Katherine's helplessness is the more marked in view of the fact that her younger brother long ago mastered the intricacies of dressing himself.
 It is, of course, possible that Katherine is one of those children who Is exceptionally slow in acquir- ing manual dexterity, but anyone who has seen much of children in the setting of the family would sus- pect that her dawdling was due to other causes.
 It would occur to him at once that through 1t she had discovered a way of playing baby and of attract ing attention.
 Whatever the cause, it will not help to nag or hurry her. When it is necessary for her to dress quickly she should be helped without com 1 ment, at other times she should be 1 left to do the whole process for her, self, no matter how long she takes Never should she be reminded Of the contrast between herself and her brother. To tell her she ought to try to be as quick and clever as he 1: would serve only to intensity hcr difficulty and So fan those sparks ol jealousy which may be present. More than anything, Katherine needs to wish to grow up. Whenever therefore, she makes an effort to- ward self reliance she should re ceive abundant praise as an incen tive to further endeavors in thu same direction.

imperiously. "I fancy I'm as good q judge as your father and Mrs Bickett as to what you ought to know, It's only that he didn't want to worry you"
 I dug my fingers into my palms to keep from screaming out at her, then remembered that Katherine had greeted me with the words: Nobody hurt, nobody sick" I was sure that my little kinswoman would not have given me that assurance had there been anything serious the matter with my father.
 It isn't anything very bad" my mother-in-la went on. It's only that when that man fired at the pistol in your fathers hand and knocked it to the floor the jolt Of it bruised your fathers hand quite painfully. That and the excitement brought on one of his headaches, so this morning when he couldn't get to sleep any other way, Mrs. Bickett gave him an opiate. Hell wake up and be all right by lunch time. I'm sure. And that reminds me, I'd bet ter go down and straighten out that ape of a Katie. Shes been having mysteries off and on ever since last night Of course, in a way. you can not blame her Those fools of po- licHmen accused her and Jim of be- ing in on the job. But though there is a lot of tricks l wouldn't put . past her, she's loyal enough, and it's natural she should be wrought up over it. But enoughs enough, and I'm going to go down and jerk some of the nonsense out of her. l don't suppose shes even thought Of lunch"
 Keeping Mother Out of the Kitchen My mental barometer fell rapidly Full well l knew what effect one of my mother-in-law' disciplinary ses- sons would have upon my emotional little maid. Yet I Knew that nothing would so offend my husbands 1 mother as for me to suggest that she keep away from Katie. With my father ill or near it, with a ter rifying mystery confronting me, with Katherine preparing to leave for New York. I felt despairingly that l could not add to the emotion al scene which I lncw Katie would stage by the time Mother Graham 1 finished her session with her.
 Necessity sharpened my wits. There was one sure way of divert | ing my mother-in-law' attention, and 1 took it.
 Mother, dear.' I said. "can't Katie wait a little? It's hours to | lunch time, and I do so need your | advice upon something that is troub- | ling me. Couldn't you give me a l little time before you tackle Katie ?" Why, yes; I suppose so," she said with feigned reluctance but real l eagerness for never was woman more fond of giving advice than is my mother-in Come into my room," she added. We can talk
 better there. Mrs. Bickett will come i in to look after Richard Second"
 But as I followed her down the
 corridor to her room, I wondered
 which of the number of things that
 troubled me l could bring myself to
 subject to her caustic scrutiny.

|FJ,>o ARE USED LIKE FABRIC
 IN NEW SILHOUET TED MODE

New York, Oct. 16.-Furs this acteristics.
 In the first place, the furs them selves are luxuriously beautiful and fine, with the thin. delicate furs very important. Because of this, in the second place, they are manipulated as if they were fab ric. And in the third place, ma nipulated as fabric, the furs take the fashionable new silhouette, make much of collars and cuffs and find the waistline, just as gowns do.
 heightened hems and raised waistlines, therefore, are to be found on all of the newer long coats. There are many fur jack cts and three-quartcr wraps. Theirs is another story. It is of the winter fur coat that tops the daytime frocll that I speak.
 Flat Ftrs Modish
 The flatter the fur this year, the more stylish for coats. Nothing takes the place of furs in Milady's wardrobe. Since furs are favored not only for their warmth but because they enhance a woman's beauty. the more beautiful the fur, the greater it's aesthetic contribu ton.
 Certain women look magnificent in brown furs. others wear grey. Bus the elegant coat for daytime wear 1 is apt to be the black one. For black has that distinguished some | achieve.
 Soft black furs in vogue include breitschWantz, Persian lamb, car acul, galyak. broadtail and pony, Breitschwantz combines chic and dignity which makes it exception ally good for the older woman. Variety Is Wide If one does not want black coat, mink and sable are the ex- pensive choices. Caracul. Persian lamb, and numbers of others furs give woman wide choice in moderately priced coats that are decorative while they render good service.
 The new fur coat follows the forms lines. The princess silhOu- cite is suggested, often with trc- mendous flare at the lower edge. ] If the coat itself is cut in exaS- gerated lines. the collar and cuff treatment is apt to be more con- servative, and vice versa.
 For sports wear. the belted coat is still excellent, giving that youth full look and giving a note of color in the suede belt.
 have in mind a sandalwood caracul coat that features both q raised waistline in it's shaped sl. houette and a belt to emphasizc t. The standing collar has slit through which the fur is pulled forming a bow which adds to tho youthfulness of the model.
 For dressy wear, I might sug. gest an elegant Leipzig dyed Rus sian broa dtail, with silver fox collar and cuffs. This coat features tht uneven hemline. for the coat dips tt a low point in the back, The colla and cuffs make use of four foxes most effectively.
 For both of these coats, as vel as for most of the winters wrap for daytime, the turban is a happ, choice for headgear. For the sport coat, a little crocheted beret iron Agnes is a good note. For the blacl coat, a draped velvet turban is ex cellent.
