Four years ago Europe was still in
a dangerous state of suspicion and
antagonisrn. The nations were in
two hostile camps, their essential
unity was still unrecognized. Since
the memorable Locarno conference
took place there have been anxieties
and difficulties, but in what has
come to be known as the "Locarno
spirit these have been met and
overcome.-Sir Leming Worthing-
ton Evans, British secretary of state
for war.

Some people break out every
time they eat strawberries. This
does not mean that there is any
thing wrong with strawberries, but
there is something special about the
person who breaks out which makes
him react to Strawberries.
Among other symptoms resulting
from sensitiyity besides rash on the
skin, there may be swelling of the
lips or of other portions of the body,
shortness of breath due TO con-

The entire production of the great
American production Of the Passion
Play, which opens in Seattle at the u
niversity of Washington Athletic Paw

the music, sung In the colossal chorus
is all in English. The whole presenta-
ton is most reverently staged and Gre

Credit for this great production in
the English language is due to untiriug
efforts of the producer who has as
sembled a worthy caste Of notable act

or her part with feeling of reverence
and sincerely of purpose; indeed they
live and suffer throughout this greatest
of all tragedies, the greatest story ever
given to the world, the story of the last
days of Christ on earth.
The Passion Play had its origin cen
turtles ago, as message of religious
auDJVpto. AANS' a great pihEut lihO
made devastations on the population OF
Europe, the terrified survivors made q
vow that if spared they would at regu-
lar periods portray the life of Christ in
the Passion Play. The plague disap-
peared and since that time the Passion
Play has been enacted in the noun
tains of oberammergau regularly and
has been viewed by hpndFeds Of thou
sands of visitors who journey there
from the entire civilized world
The English version OF this great
Play will give to the people of Seattle
and the entire surrounding territory a
chance to see the worlds greatest dra-
ma interpreted by an internationally
known caste of actors. with music from
the greatest masters Of the ages.
Special railroad rates have been ar
ranged for the Passion Play week with
all lines running into Seattle Visitors
while here will be able to visit the Pac-
ific Northwest Merchants and Buyers
Exhibition at the same time.

Mrs. Boyds past life said, mo, but /

1t is a twelve hole cabinet, that will
hold at one time sixty gallons of ice
cream The temperature hovers
around about zero. or below, so it is a
very simple matter to manufacture all

In addition to the cabinet Mr.. Leslie
is very we'll pleased with the unit which
has converted the ice type of refrig-
orator into an electric one The saving
in ice will in short time pay for this
unit.
The purchase OF such equipment
shows plainly that those interested
in this store have been justified in
their faith, and it is gratifying that
the growth of our community warrants
such an investment as this equipment
represents.

Celebrate Wedding Anniversary

One of the happiest groups celebrat
ing the Fourth of July was the Mace
family, who staged double celebration
observing the thirty-third anniversary
OF the mother and father, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. j. Mace, and at the same time having
a complete family reunion with thirty
two relatives present. The children
presented their parents with fine E.
lectric stove, gentle reminder that
they expected to enjoy their mothers
cooking for long time, by the same
gesture showing their father that even
though the majority Of them we're mar
led they were still looking to Dad to
occasionally provide the makings of
those good meals.
The day was spent in picnic on the
Vashon Beach in the manner in which
such family gatherings are usually
spent, just visiting, swapping stories a.
bout the grandbabies, and general
renewing of the old days. Joining with
them were the old friends. Mrs. W. L.
Cutler, her son, Reginald, and her sis
ter, Mrs. Elmore
Mrs. Mace is one OF the pioneers OF
The Island, having come here. when on
ly few years old, with her parents,

the tract upon which the home OF the
Maces now stands
Mr.. Mace is more recent addition

80 years ago, at the mature age of II
He finished growing up in the old home
now occupied by Floyd Mace, at Glen
Acres.
The children, eleven in number, with
thirteen grandchildren, not to mention
the husbands of the married daughters
can not long stay away from the old
home. Several of them have gone a
way for period, but the home ties
draw. them back before long.
The News-Record feels 1t is but ex-
pressing the sentiment of many in
extending to Mr.. and Mrs Mace con
gratulations on their past years togeth-
er, and in expressing the hope that
there will be many more years of op.
portunity for such wholesome family
gatherings as this.

ARMY OFFICER VISITS SISTER

Much interest was aroused last week
by the maneuvers over the Island,
especially around the village of vashon,
OF an aeroplane belonging to the U. S.
Army.
1t finally developed that the flyer
who was so apparently interested in
our Island had every reason to be SO,
for it has long been to him veritable
island of dreams.
Many years ago, more than twenty,
in fact, two small boys, Howard and
Homer Ferguson. used to roam about
the woods and shores OF the Island.
At that time their father was pastor Of
the Methodist church at Vashon. One
of the fondest memories OF their
mature years have been those OF the
days spent here.
Homer is now Lieutenant Homer
Ferguson, U. S. Army, but even SO he
still retains his fond memories despite
the dignity Of rank. So. instead Of
taking a cross country flight in some
other direction, he received from his
commanding officer permission to make
the flight to Vashon from March Field
Los Angeles. In Portland ne picked
up his brother, Howard, and together
they finished the flight to vashon.
expecting to find some spot upon
which they could land here After
circling around the Island, and arous-
ing the curiosity OF the inhabitants,
they gave up the search and flew to
Seattle, but not before their identity
was guessed by their sister, Mrs
Wallace Beall
They returned to Vashon Saturday
afternoon and announced their in
tention to do some expert clam digging
Fortunately the tides favored them or
Sunday morning and they were able
to bag four fine, large geoducks. From
all accounts they were not SO i'm
maculate after the encounter as before
but even so they enjoyed the sport.
Lieutenant Ferguson, being on ar
official trip, was obliged to return or
Monday On the way ne again
furnished thrills that would put the
average air circus to shame 1t is to
be hoped that the next time such al
exhibition is to be staged that there
will be advance notice, that all may
witness it.
Mrs. Beall is very happy over thi
brief visit with her brothers It will
be wonder, however, if the Beall
boys are not already planning to joiI
the air service of the Army that they
may be able to follow the example o.
their uncle.

POULTRY CURLING SCHOOL, JULY
2ith

With very little training most
poultrymen can segregate the birds OF
their flock into groups that lay less
than 1855 eggs from 14O to 200 and
above 200 eggs ANY bird that lays
less than 1876 eggs is considered n
Gull.
Many poultrymen of the country have
taken this one-day training in culling
during the past six years with profit
to themselves and neighbors Several
poultrymen have requested that n
culling school be held again this year.
The only obligation that one assumes
in taking this training is that they
agree to put ON a culling demonstra
ton in their community or Gull two
flocks where the owner is willing to
keep a record of the cuIls for a week
The location of the culling school
will be announced to those enrolling in
the school. Twenty can be accommo-

GOING, GOING, GONE

That is what the auctioneer says,
but we say that is what the days arc
doing until that day toward which We
are all looking forward, the coming OF
the 10Th, and all day OF the Goth, the
big Carnival
The main attraction OF the evening
of the 10Th will be the fine merry go
round. Even though we are inclined
to take ourselves seriously there is
something about merry go round
that makes US forget all about our
dignity. Fathers and mothers who
have talked thrift to their children
might as we'll be prepared for the
worst, for not only will the children
forget all they have been taught, but
father and mother too will no doubt
feel themselves slipping, and finally
surrender,
On Saturday there will not be- only
the merry go round, but there will be
a country store, races, games OF chance
and skill, creased pole, races for young
and old, fat and skinny, short and tall
with prizes for every winner. Then,
too, there will be all the ice cold pop,
hot dogs, ice cream, etc, that even the
toughest small boy could wish for, and
get away with,
Maybe you had good time last year
but it was nothing compared with what
the Carnival is going to be this year.
Let's get the whole gang out next
week. and see If we can't put over the
biggest and best time the Island has
ever known, And let's not forget that
We have ali made mint of money, or
at least let's think we have, and just
have one glorious time, all together
