Calcutta. India, March 5 R-- "Mahatma" Mohandas k. Gandh was in a prison cell today. He chose confinement in preference to free dom on bail after arrest by British authorities in boycott demonstia- tion.
 The famous Indian nationalist was taken into custody after he had de- fled police order against 4estroying foreign cloth and after meeting at which he spoke had ended in a riot. Four European police sergeants and number of police were injured in the disorders.
 In his speech Gandhi advocated a boycott of foreign cloth in accord ance with resolution recently passed by the nationalist congress. His auditors started bonfire into which they threw the English made products.
 The police then interfered and Candhi refused to avail himself Of an offer of bail. During a previous imprisonment he went on 2 long hunger-strike.

WHAT is pRoFITs


THE next time you walk out of a
= store grumbling about The "ex-
orbitant' price of the article
which YOU have just bought or re-
fused to buy, think about this ar
ticle, which appeared in The New
West Trade:
Profit, according to some of the
old school arithmetics, is the diff
ference between the price which
a merchant pays for an article and
the price for which he sells it.
Some merchants and accountants
call it gross profit.
In modern trade language both
are wrong. Only small part OF
the difference between the cost
price and the selling price is pro-
fit. Out of the difference must
come the expenses which some
times absorb from ninety to ninety.
five percent of the entire margin
How numerous these expenses
are, is indicated by the following
list suggested for study by the Ma.

BOOST THE BAKER

DOOTING for your home town
~ means something more than
attending Commercial club meet
ings, riding on special trains and
praising Kennewick's merits to
cousins from the East. There is no
way in which you can build up the
prosperity of the town like pat
ronizing local products.
Kennewick bread is one local
product that deserves big sale
to home town people. The finest
ingredients baked by a master of
the art-that's Kennewick bread.
If we want to keep our bakery,
we will have to buy Kennewick
bread.

FRONT AND BACK

nUR main street is fairly pre-
~ sentable. But what about the
alley between Kennewick avenue
and First avenue?. There are
spots of it which, to be frank, look
like cross between a dump and a
tenement. 1t is not only lack of
paint on the rear of the buildings,
but the general air of untidiness
and neglect, that produces this eff
feet.
We clean up the front and throw
the sweepings in back, with the un-
conscious thought that they won't
be seen there. But an excellent
view of the alleyway can be OBJ
tanned from all four of the side
streets running into the shopping
district.
The worst offender is the block
between Washington and Auburn
streets. The view towards the rear
of those buildings is a disgrace to
any city, let alone one that is try
ing to build up reputation fol
cleanliness and modernity.
1t isn't matter of money, tho
several gallons of paint would moi
be amiss. Two able4bodied mer
could give the place an old-fash.

All the pretensions of our bus

sent such an modifying picture K

MINDS AND MATERIAL OF
WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON First is a new
w Name for an old cause.

WASHINGTON First IS new
w name for an old cause.
Washington First succeeds, IN
name only, Awakening of Wash
ington.
Five years under the awakening
title accomplished its purpose. And
now that there has been a stirring
among the leaves of human trees
in the human forests of the state
the efforts will be continued te
school the minds of the state to al.
ways think Washington First.
How appropriate this name is
for a movement in state bearing
the name Of the Father OF our
country, who too, was first.
For Washington the State is des-
tined to become as great as was
Washington the President.
Such an accomplishment is not
impossible.
Greater things have been s.ccon,-
plished with fe-s,er minds and less
material.
And once the people of Wash
ington unitedly set themselves to
building an empire, Washington
will become leader among states.
This is a matter of mind and ma
terial. Get the minds of this state
working on the material and the
task is as good as completed.
When these minds forget their
individual affairs, assume the task
as whole, when each becomes in
terested in the success of the other
Washington will be first!
Success cannot be obtained from
individual action, for no individual
business or community can pro
gress alone.
Washington First must become q
matter of mind and materials
matter for every mind schooled fol-
leadership and the use Of materia'
available.
Then Washington will in reality
he First.

TO ASSIST IN SOLVING
"WASHBOARD" ROADS

Experimental work, the results
of which may cause a reduction of
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
liz highway maintenance costs, has
been started on large scale by
the engineering experiment station
of the State college and the Wash
ington State highway department.
A one-mile test track to determ-
inc further the cause and remedy
of washboard roads is being
planned by officials of the high
way department and the State col
leee, and construction will start
as soon as a suitable location can
be found. 1t will probably be
built somewhere in eastern Wash
ington, where the drier climate
will cause it to corrugate or be-
come "washboarded" sooner, says
Dean Carpenter. director Of the,
w. S, G, station.
Experiments conducted by the
local station on a small track last
summer attracted considerable at
tention over the country, and con-
vinced highway authorities that
the mystery of "washboard"
can be definitely solved.
