LAND APARTMENTS
 PRESENT BIG TASK
Harder to Reduce than Sea
 Armanents, Hyannis Hears

Hyannis, Mass, Aug. 2S P}-Land armament reduction presents a more difficult problem than that of naval disarmament in the opinion of Dr. Dexter Perkins of the Univer- sity of Rochester, who discussed the question before today's session here of the Institute of World Unity.
 The past 10 years, he declared, faVe seen considerable progress in the way of cutting naval forces.
 The Washington treaties, it is true, provided only for limitation in capi- tai ships but they altered the psy- chological situation and set a pre- cedent on which to go And though there has been danger of a new naval competition, public opinion on toth sides of the Atlantic is com polling attention to the naval prob lem"
 Despite the fact the same prin- ciple applies to land armaments as to naval forces, that of security, the difficulty with the land problem arises in the fact that any reduc- ton which might alter the relative position of the continental states would be bitterly opposed by France or by the other states which profited from the treaty of Versailles, Dr. Perkins asserted.
 Little progress has as yet been made, or will perhaps be made in land reduction" he said. What can be hoped for, however is some limited form of agreement that will make competition in ornaments less probable in the future than it has Leen jn the past"

Chicago, Aug. 2S P}-From the book of Leviticus, Fist chapter 14th verse, Judge Joseph B. David yes terday took authority to snnul the marriage of Louis Leon, 61.
 Leon told the court he was a de- scendant of Aaron, brother of Moses and the first high priest. Under Jewish orthodoxy he is a "Cohn," a utle inherited by all male descend ants of Aaron. As such, he told the court he is governed by the special laws of his faith concerning priests. though by profession he is tailor.

 Twice Violated Law
 It was not until after his marriage last February, he said that he learned she had been twice married before, her first husband dying, her second having been divorced. Thus, lie told Judge David, he had twice violated the Mosaic law as laid down in Levticus
 "A widow, or divorced woman these shall he not take: But he shall take a virgin of his own peo- pie to wife"
 Seeking relief in Illinois statutes, Leen was beaten to court by his wife, who sought separate mainte- nance. Leon's attorney countered with a suit for divorce, passing his petition solely on the ancient He braic law. He produced witnesses and records to substantiate Leon's claims.
 Judge David delayed decision un- til he had time to consult severa under Jewish law Leon had forfeit ed his rights to worship. prominent rabbis. They agreed that

TRAVEL TO GAS FIELD
WEARS OUT ROAD

j 'Cy Smith and A. F. Brown, mem.
bers of the Kennewick Commercial
Club, were in White Bluffs Tuesday
to confer with County Commissioner
Ira c. Hawley regarding the inn
mediate involvement of the road
from the Horn to the gas wells.
The development at the wells has
gone so fast this summer and there
has been so much hauling of heavy
machinery over the road, which
was only trail to begin with, that it
has become almost impossible. The
almost total absence of any rain this
fall has not helped conditions any
and those who have to travel back
and forth to the wells are calling
loudly for some improvement.
Those who are doing the develop
ing are entitled to some considera-
ton, too, for before they are finished
they will have made an investment
of good many thousand dollars.
The county commissioners have in
dictated their willingness to provide a
good road from the Horn to the wells
but say it is impossible to do any
permanent work until there is some
moisture in the ground.
!, The derrick for the big rotary drill,
which it is claimed is capable of
sinking a l2-inch hole to depth OF
two miles, has been put up and the
machinery for the drill itself is being
installed this week. The men who
brought this drill in say they intend
to make real try for oil in the
field.
+ Other and smaller drilling rigs have
also been set up and the company that
has built the pipe line for the dis
tributing Of the gas to Prosser,
Grandview, Sunnyside and other
Yakima valley towns says that it in
tends, to continue to extend its dis
tributing system to reach every town
and city in this part of the state as
fast as the new wells bring in an
additional supply of gas.

opERErTA MAKES hit

The musical OPT eretta, "Aunt Dru-
silla's Garden" Given by pupils OF
the lower grades last Friday evening,
was sung before an audience that
filled the high school auditorium TO
capacity. The stage settings were
very gay and pretty, bright colored
flowers, green lattice fences and a
rose colored arbor creating the IL
fusion of real garden and forming
charming background for the story
Of the operetta.
Elaine Coleman as Aunt Drusilla
and Louise McFee as Media, her
niece, had the principal parts and
carried them well. Raymond Brough-
ton as Pat, Aunt Drusilla's Irish
gardener, was q true son Of the EN-
lerald Isle; Helen MeeKsr hid most
appealing role as Aunt Prue Rogers,
Aunt DrusiIla's deaf sister; Bob and
Tad, leaders of the gang" were well
played by Robert Westling and Billie

Little, made one of the hits of the
evening.
Besides those who played the leads
and had speaking parts, who all per-
formed we'll the children in the
chorus, Of whom there were thirty
six, showed careful drilling and
training.
All Of the special featrres-the
Pansy Dance, by Peggy Broughton
and Lillian Ray; the Daisy Dance
by Jean McFee, Evelyn Barge and
Willetta Ray; and the Rose Dance
by Dorothy Angle and Gloria Hawlev
were remarkably we'll done, while
the Dreamland Tots, dressed in their
pajanas and carrying candles, were
very lovely.
The entire operetta, from the time
the curtain relied IN until the end,
when it went down upon the whole
assemblage Of children gathered in
the garden for the last time, dressed
in costumes that transformed it's arti-
fetal beauty into gorgeous display
of living flowers-holIyhocks, sun
roses, daisies, and pansics-
bore witness to great deal Of art
istic talent and hard work on the
part of the grade school teachers who
had the evening in charge.
Preceding the first act, the l.igh
stlocl orchest.a gave two enjoyable
numbers, american Youth March"
and Victorious Legions March.
They also played between acts.
Piano Accomplishments for the var
ous solos, duets, and choruses were
played by Lillian Shinn, while Miss
