A FORTIFIED ISLAND

Few islands in the Puget Sound
country have a more strategic
position than Vashon Island in the
matter OF inticing vacationalists to
its shores.
situated almost midway be-
tween two great, growing and ever
lastingly prosperous cities, there is
no trifling with the fact that Va
shon Island is to remain in the fu-
ture as in the past, the ideal spot
for the thousands OF summer rec
reationalists who seek the heighth
of sports resorts, and that forth
fled with the demands OF man on
every hand.
Business facilities of the Island
offer the summer "homesteader" as
well as permanent residents every
possible access to every wanted
ed item in ones daily life. A
magnificent bank to handle all
your money matters. Grocery
stores, where all the finest OF foods
may be obtained at rock bottom
prices. A fine theatre, showing all
the latest talking pictures. Soft
drink parlors galore. Drug stores
with every aid known for every
human i'll. Gas filling stations
nineteen of them, ana garages en-
ploying the very best of me-
chanics and rendering tip-top serv-
ice to the car owner. Hardware
stores. Doctors and dentists, and
the very classiest OF barbershops.
The Vashon Island Golf Club has
just completed the eighth hole in
the course of construction and by
next spring the entire nineteen
holes will see the finish Of one OF
the finest golf courses in the
Northwest.
Yes, to the man and his family
who wish to spend the summer
months with every hour OF it
meaning sixty seconds of enjoy
ment--Vashon Island is just that
The business man. the farmer
and the laborer find Vashon Is
land truly separated from the
clang end bang of squeaky-braked
streetcars and the deafening blasts
OF powered machinery of the great
cities-an island that honestly full
fills the tired mans hope of relief
from a sordid world, where one
may forget the strife OF life and
linger in tine shade like a con
tented cow"-and with that same
dumb look, too, and howl For
an island is a place where one
may look as he darn pleases, and
it's nobodys darn business.
vashon Island has everything,
except judges. jails and policemen.

MT. TACOMA vs.. ME-. RAINIER

N-'@-- -
For several years past Seattle
and Tacoma quarreled like two big
brothers over a village belle anent
THAT mountain, and we may not
be far amiss if we say they have
been trying to make a mole hill
out OF it
Tacoma politicians held that the
cognomen of this great Northwest
monument originally was called
Mount Tacoma and further con-
tended that a bunch OF politicians
from Seattle transformed the state
with flock of cuspidors, so to
speak, attempting to arouse in
terest by the false propaganda that
it was impossible to keep an eye on
the mountain at the same time
Watch Tacoma Crow or some
such "flawsable7 arguments,
Just what benefit Seattle derives
from calling it Mount Rainier
eclipses our humble imagination,
but we do know the mountain it
self has been the cause of a great
volume of calumny and rabid as
persion between the two cities from
a political standpoint
1t isn't our purpose here at this
time to open an old wound only
to have it doctored again with the
same compound-cathartic pills Of a
bunch of quack political physicians
from anywhere. But, getting down
to the point of real diagnosis.
doesn't it seem extraordinarily
plausible and logical, in your hon
est mind, that this mountain of
which we speak, should by all
that's right and honorable, be
called MOUNT VASHON?"
Heyingsl What pretty namel
And to think that a mountain
and an island should be fortunate
enough to travel hand-in-hand
through eternity with the name of
Vashon, makes one feel a certainty
that Saint Peter would be over
joyed to welcome them both, if the
OCCASION aroSe, somewhere, some
time, out yonder in the millennium.
This great mountain can be seen
from all parts Of vashon Island.
1t connt be seen from all loca-
tions in Seattle nor Tacoma.
The artist behind his easel must
consider Vashon Island in his
paintings Of this mountain or his
finished product is lacking in the
principal fore and background sur
rounding its scenic beauty
And who knows but that the
making of the mountain gave birth
to the Isle of vashon, or visa versa.
To change the name from Mount
Rainier to Mount vashon is a sub
ject worthy Of kind consideration
by our Commercial Club and other
civic bodies
Let's call it Mount Vashon, any
how-Tacoma should agree to that.

Oomplished the greatest part OF the

d. Segrave declared here yesterday
while discussing with newspapermen
the objects of his forthcoming attempt
to better 900 miles an hour IN the
Golden Arrow on the hard-packed
beach Of the Florida resort.
The average Englishman, Maj Sc
grave believes, has somewhat OF an m
feriority complex concerning world rec
ords, particularly when they are in
competition with Americans, and 1t is
to help dispel this convictions OF Arnerl-
can superiority in sporting ventures
that he hopes to bring back the auto
mobile speed record to Great Britain.
Then, too, Maj. Segrave answers crit
les of such speed attempts as he will
make, by declaring that every major
development in the automobile is the
direct result of racing. He cited four
wheel brakes and detachable wheels.

day afternoon, posed for news camera
men, answered dozens Of questions from
newspaper reporters and then went to
a quiet dinner as the guest of Ernest
N. Smith, general manager of the
A. A. A.
He declared that the Golden Arrow
has been built to reach the maximum
speed possible on the ground with the
facilities now available. Tires, he de-
clares, mark the limit of present-day
automobile speed. Maj. Segrave does
not think pneumatic tires can be built
under the present methods to with
stand the strain a speed higher than
245 miles an hour.
In answer to the question, What
would happen If you blew tire going
at top speed?" Maj. Segrave smiled as

The machine isA powered with sin
gle 12-cylinder "W"-type motor, with
three gear speeds. It is in the stream
lining of the body that the car differs
most from Maj Segrave's first car. The
body of the Golden Arrow has been
fashioned after the fuselage of racing
plane and has been built to guard
against the machines flying into the
air during the test. 1t has been so
balanced that it is believed that if it
did take to the air the machine would
