Did you ever step to think that
if II wasn't for this meddlesonle
old world, you would not be at all!
The dynamic bit of personality
which you recognizesas yourseH Is
the creation of the past. Now
that you have been given chance
to exist, IT becomes your duty
to put that existence to some good
use.
Life is a game, and somehow
the score is always even. But there
are still hopeful souls who try 10
beat the game-to get more than
they give. It is well to recognize
at the start that getting comes
only by giving. What you put IN,
Life will return in even measure.
You pay the bright silver of youth
and reap the golden reward OF ex-
perienee, wisdom and happiness.
This is trite. 1T has been the bur-
den of many a naoralist's monoto-
nous song. But IT remains true,
nevertheless. You owe the world
your living, and Life will make
you pay in full.

PLAYGROUND LESSONS

| u
TlHE playground has been called
= an education itself, 1t is not, as
some think, merely a place. 1t is
an institution directed at the well
fare of childhood.
Playing is child's business,
just as running an office is his
fathers. To make that business
profitable to the child is the pur-
pose of the playground. He learns
there the lessons of cooperation
and fair play that will carry him
through life. 1t is too late to learn
them thoroughly after maturity.
They must become so ingrained in
his nature while he is small that
they are instructive by the time he
is ready to take his place in the
world.
Few of us realize what has been
accomplished by Kennewick's play
field this summer. There are of
course the tangible results-hand
work and constructive work done,
swimming strokes and new games
learned this is the least Of
the whole. The part that counts
in the long run is the formation of
character that has come with the
supervised contacts with their
fellow-playmates. They have grown
more sef-reliant, more ready to
see another's point of view, more
willing to share. They have gain
ed a new and broader idea of the
world. They have learned the joy
of making things with their own
hands, the pride in workmanship
that is the greatest reward of toll.
These lessons they have learned,
and others, which are invaluable
to them now and later in life. To
this end does the playground work.

CAN YOU cRITIcIsE?

CRITICISM is one of the most
.nlaligned words in the English
language. 1t has come through
much use to be taken as .synony-
NOUS with INTENDING" In
reality, to criticise is to eVaiuate,
and "a critic can be just as enthus-
iastic about anything as the most
ardent booster, though his opinion
is safer.
True criticism should pc well
coined by anyone. When you start
in to razz your town, its institu-
tions and personnel, forget your
particular grudge of the moment,
and see what You can do toward
evaluating. Make a fair compar-
ison of your town with Others in
its class-hold it off at arms
length and take a good squirt at
the city council, the lighting gys-
tenn, the streets, the business men
and their attitudes, the commun-
ity spirit.
When you get through you will
have some points marked plus, and
some minus. Now, what are you
going to do about it? You are no
longer the critic, but the subject
Of criticism, for you are part of
your town. It becomes your duty
to erase those minus marks and
substitute plusses.
Start in with your own attitude. |
Do you crab and grumble when
something hits you, and sit back
complacently when it hits your
neighbor? Or do you ever turn
your grabbing and grumbling into
action which removes the offense?
Are you willing to abandon your
pet solution for the problem and
work shoulder to shoulder with the
majority on the solution they have
picked? Are you willing to de-
vote a measure of your private
time and effort to civic affairs?
If you do and are all these things,
you are rare, good citizen.
Assuming, for the sake of argu-
ment, that you are this type, what
next? Having behind you these
cooperative, energetic attitudes,
you have the tools to attack the
minus signs that mark other as
poets of the city's life that need
Petitions are a formal way of
making known to the authorities
that a group of citizens desire ap-
pirate action. More informal and
more powerful is the force of pub
lie opinion which can be formed
and shaped by few with the en-
ergy and foresight to persuade
their tagging neighbors that some
thing needs to be done.
Take a few moments off and
turn critic for while. You will
be surprised at what you discover.
And then-if it's not asking too
much-do something.

STATE FINISHES
ITS TESTIMONY
AGAINST KEYES.
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22.-The

Attorney Asa Keyes and five
others, charged with conspiracy to
give and receive bribcs, was rested
today after the introduction of one
last bit of testimony to indicate
that Keyes received gifts from men

the Julian Petroleum Cooperation
case in 1928.
In the nature Of a parting shot,
the prosecution called George
Nicholson, radio salesman, who said
that $1,15O radio was ordered
from him by +. II, Rosenberg. then
Julian defendant, paid for by Ben
Getzoff, alleged "go-bctween' in
bribery transactions, and delivered
to Keyes.
Previously the state presented
evidence to show that Rosenberg
and Jacob Btrman, another Julian
defendant, paid out more than
$lG5, 600 to gain acquittal in thc
famous oil conspiracy case.
The amount ineladed, the state
claimed, money paid TO buy Keye=

ords. It was believed that argu-
mcnt over these motions would oe-
cupy the entire afternoon session.
The defense intended sometime
during the afternoon to ask the dis
missal of all defendants.
