MINNIE E. CULMAN

II was with deep regret and
sense of loss that the news was re-
ceiyed here Sunday morning that
Mrs. Culman had just passed away
at the Swedish hospital in Seattle
after a short illness. While never
enjoying good health. her condi-
tion apparently gave no cause for
alarm, so her passing was shock
TO all.
Minnie A. Culman, wife of d. A.
Culman of Cedarhurst, was born
in Halifax, Novia Scotia, Septem-
her 16, 1856.
Thirty-fou years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Culman came to Vashon Is
land, making their home at Cedar
hurst, where they have since con
tinously resided. Even though
conditions at that early time made
communication difficult, Mrs Cul-
mans personality was such that
she 3eeame known throughout the
community as a good neighbor and
friend to all, ever ready to help in
hour of need. Little children were
always her delight and among her
most sincere mourners will be the
children with whom she came in
contact, many of whom have
grown to manhood aud woman
hood. and whose children have
come to know and love Mrs. Gull
man.
Fortunate indeed is a commun-
ity to have been blessed by the in.
fluence Of such woman as Mrs
Culman, for whom only words oil
loving praise are uttered. Her life
and influence will long be felt
though her physical absence will
leave a great loneliness, felt moi
only by her devoted husband, tc
whom is extended the sympathy
of all, but to her many friends ai
well.

WORK BEGINS ON install
ALTON OF MASTERPH0NE

Actual work OH the installation
of the Masterphone de Luxe in the
Vashon Theatre was begun We'd
hesday morning, The time that
will be, required for the work can
not be determined so Mr.. Burfield
is unable to make any definite
announcement in regard to the
opening date. The installation
will no doubt require week or
ten days, after which the machine
will be ready and after that we
can enjoy here at home the same
pictures we would pay much more
to see in the city.
The opening picture, "The Shop
Worn Angel" is one of the bic
pictures of the day, and the cost
of bringing this to our local thea
tire is so great that it is only his
determination to give us the best
that influenced Mr.. Burfield in
signing up for this film.
1t is to be hoped that favorable
weather conditions will permit a
big crowd to be present at this
second opening Mr.. Burfield has
provided for us III a short period
OF time.

HOT LUNCHES ARE A
DECIDED SUCCESS

On Monday OF this week we Wis.
tied the Vashon school to see how
well the new system Of serving hot
lunches was being worked out.
One hundred pupils were served
with a hot dish, in this case mae
aroni and tomatoes, and milk, if
desired. Three persons did the ac-
tual serving, the children helping
themselves to trays and spoons.
Only six minutes was required for
the one hundred to be served and
to get into the lunch room, where
without any confusion they seat
ed themselves and proceeded to
eat in manner that would have
been a credit to any group of we'll
bred persons, whether fifteen or
fifty, Aside from the noise that
any group of natural, healthy
youngsters would make III moving
about that much, there was no dis
order or lack of consideration for
law and order. The teachers ate
their lunches in the room, but
there was no police methods used,
nor any display of authority. A
remarkable phase was the fact that
the group consisted of pupils from
the low grades up to high school
and yet the older pupils showed no
air OF condcscension TO the young
en- ones.
The lunch room is equipped with
! Fifteen well-built stationary tables,
with benches built around them,
nicely painted and vanished, the
work Of Walter Steen, the jani-
tor, and built outside of the hours
his regular work require. These
tables are in as perfect condition
as though there had not been many
lunches eaten ON them.
| We could go on telling Of the
many fine things we observed this
day, but better way would be
for all interested to pay this build
ing visit some noon and see for
themselves just how well this plan,
sponsored by the Vashon Grade
p. I. A. and worked out along the
lines suggested by Mrs. Godsey, is
working out.
While we believe that the book
knowledge gained in our public
schools is vital We feel that Of
equal Importance is, not only the
supplying the physical needs of the
child, as is done by hot food at
noon, but also the training these
children are receiving in proper
conduct toward each other. While
we feel sure that Vashon is not
lpeculiar in having an excellent
gronp of pupils we unreservedIy
challenge the world 10 show finer
spirit, better conduct combined
with no apparent need OF discip-
line on the part of teachers and a
happier atmosphere radiating a
sense OF cooperation between all.
Just take "A day off, parents, Wis
it your own school, aud see if this
isn't a lot more evident than it
was in our school days.

provided for closing from June l TO
June IL, instead OF whole month, and
called for "a hours closing each week

Representative Sims, chairman OF the
house fisheries committe, who stood
pat for a solid month of closing, de
claring "the fishermen arc always talk.
Ing OF conservation. but they are never
willing to stand for It," He insisted
that the months closing would be
beneficial aud declared the expert

A LOVELY ATTEMPT

There has been a sincere effort

when the vessels of France had
some command on the seas.
Before THE Divine Lady" became
visible on a screen in Indianapolis
several people who buy their seats
came to me and told me that they
welcomed a chance to see romantic
beauty" on the screen.
And that is what THE Divine
Lady" really is-a costume attempt
at romantic beauty. 1t will lift you
at times into another realm, that OF
romance. You probaly never will
remember that Corinne Griffith is
the star OF this pictl1re-the dame
who was the daughter of a cook
and who became the wife of a pow
erful diplomat during the pesky
revolution in France.
think that the most troublesome
thing that Miss Griffith has to
overcome in this picture Is not so
much bad direction, but mighty poor
blind" photography. And the sound
does not match Miss Griffith. Too
bad!
