PER|LS OF RESCUE
FROM TAHITI TOLD
Passengers Praise Captains
for Seamanship in
Trying Hours.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, August
19.-First stories from passengers of the
Inflated Pacific passenger liner Tahiti,
reaching here today from Page Page,
indicated that mastery seamanship on
the part of the captains of both the
Tahiti and the rescue ship Ventura pre-
vented an appalling disaster.
Ordered TO LifebOats Twice.
Twice before the Ventura arrived,
when there seemed no hope of rescue at
hand, the Tahiti's captain gave orders
to the passengers to take to the life
boats
All aboard the Tahiti were grateful
for what appeared to be their deliver
ance when the freighter Penybryn hove
above the horizon and made her way to
point near the distressed Tahiti, but
although she stood by and was willing
to do all possible to succor the disabled
and sinking craft, the Penybryn lacked
equipment to transfer the TahitiS COM
pany.
Fear ruled the Tahiti for three days,
but throughout their narrowing expert
ence the passengers were orderly and
obedient to the dictates of wiser minds
When the great good fortune of rescue
came 10 them the woman passengers
first were transferred, then the men and
finally the crew.
Attempt Made to Save Mail.
When all hands were aboard the
Ventura, an attempt was made to save
the vast quantities of mail in her
holds.
With some of the bags already taken
OF, ships boats were returning for
more when the Tahiti lurched and
took another roll.
The waves swept over her bows,
which failed to rise again from be-
meath the water. Then the doomed
liner Strengthened on an even keel.
Her stern rose and she disappeared in
boiling white whirlpool.
There was a mass of Splintered up
per works still floating as the Ventura
steamed away.

tuberculosis Death
Rate Is Reduced

AS long rs tuberculosis continues to
be the leading cause of disability and
health during the most productive
years of life, from is to 40 years of
age, there exists a definite challenge
for intensive tuberculosis work is the
view expressed by Dr. Leslie P. Ander.
son, Diagnostician for the Washington
tuberculosis Association.
THE death rate from this disease has
been approximately halved in the last
quarter century" said DR.. Anderson,
but 1t is still necessary that efforts to
make certain this downward trend be
increased. The majority of people who
develop tuberculosis have OF some time
previous, usually in childhood, been in
Intimate contact with some one who
has had this disease. Due to the close
association in the home, 1t is almost
inevitable that person with tuber-
culosis will infect others.
Most children who become infected
early in life,' continued DR., Anderson,
usually go along through childhood in
more ore less excellent health but the
picture changes when they are sudden
ly plunged into the activities of the
high school age. Many of them then
find the strain too great; the pace too
fast but unaware of any impending
danger they continue to drive them
selves, in the face of undue fatigue,
into that run down condition which is
most favorable to the development of
tuberculosis.
I'VE see this experience repeated so
often in our Clinics" said Dr.. Ander-
son, "thc undiagnosed case of tuber-
culosis in the home is the greatest
source of danger. The youth who is in
contact with such a case is indeed I'M
fortunate. Only a few days ago my
attention was called to family in
which an uncle had come to live in
the home in which there were two
children, boy and girl. The uncle
had chronic cough but no one
suspected tuberculosis. AS his illness
progressed the discovery was made and
he was removed to sanatorium.
Shortly thereafter the boy developed
an acute form of the disease which
terminated fatally The girl upon ex-
animation was found to have definite
tuberculosis Too much cannot be
said in favor of early discovery
The free chest clinics conducted in
the various counties under the direc-
ton of the Washington tuberculosis
Association are paid for by Christmas
Seals. The sale opens November 18th
and continues until Christmas Eve.

BEVERLY HILLS-Well all I know
is just what read in the papers, and
all I have read in the last week is
about the Democratic uprising of No
vember 4th. 1t was my birthday and
the Boys of the party really did them-
selves proud in my honor. The repub-
licans were looking for a punch in the
jaw, but not for kick in the pants at
the same time Why, there was men
beat at this wake that thought they
had deed to their seat. We will
kinder start in alphabetically with the
disasters and take 'em in that order,
starting with Illinois.
An old Democratic friend of mine,
j. Ham Lewis, who has red whiskers,
and green vest to match, used to be
in the Senate away back during the
days when we was fixing it so there
would never be another war. If my
Emily Post Etiquette book serves me
right, 1 think he is about the only
Democrat in some distance to get a
red whisker in that stately hall, and
after all these years he is going back.
His facial adornment has shed from
a Clara Bow red to kind of Henna
grey, and the old vest has got many
an egg spot concealed behind its pearl
buttons. But Ham can curry one and
battle the other and he will make a
new entrance into the old Arena Del
.. Toros.'
1t wasent only that he got back in
there, but it was the spectacular man
ner that he did it. The Republicans
, had their strongest Woman up against
him, Ruth Hanna Mccormack. She had
spent few hundred thousand in the
Primaries, but evidentally forgot TIC
spend any on the race. That would be
like spending all your money in tax
fare to go to the ball game, but none
to spend to get in after you got there
But Ruth made mighty fine race
and maybe Its just as well she is no,
in there. don't think q woman be-
longs in there. Not nice woman
anyhow.
Its funny how a smart Politica
Woman like her couldn't have guessed
right on the Prohibition thing. How
anybody could go wrong on what I'LL,
nois would do is beyond me. Ham h.
wont make EN- as good Woman a!
Ruth would, but he will make EN- .
good man.
Then continueing alphabetically WI
come to Oklahoma. Another old resi-
dent of the Senate got back after al
these years. Our Blind man, Senate

King County Poultry
School At Renton

Poultrymen Of King County will
have ample opportunity to discuss
their poultry problems and practices
with specialists from the State College
and the Experiment Station at the
annual three day poultry school which
is to be held this year at Renton, De-
cember 9th, 9th and 10th. 1t had been
previously planned to hold each of the
three days in a different community
of the county. However, it has been
found that this plan will not work
out satisfactorily because of the pro-
gram which has been worked out by
the specialists. The following topics
will be discussed by the specialists
followed by questions from interested
poultrymen:
Feeding for uninterrupted egg pro-
duction.
Brooding practices for 1881.
Breeding for number, size and grade
of eggs.
Control OF poultry parasites.
The job of a marketing organiza-
ton.
What poultrymen can do 10 improve
egg grades.
Keeping records as basis for future
dividends.
Control Of growth and development
of pullets.
Principles of management applied to
poultry.
Poultry house construction and
ventilation.
Poultry outlook.
These topics will be discussed by W.
D. Buchanan, Poultry Specialist from
Washington State College, Mr.. Wayne
Miller, poultryman from Western
Washington Experiment Station, Puy-
allup; R. M. Turner, Farm Manage
ment Specialist, State College OF
Washington; D. S. McDole of the
Washington Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Association, and G. A. Svinth
Assistant County Extension Agent.
This school will be held III the city
hall which has been arranged for by
the Rureal Development Committee OF
the Commercial Club of Renton and

ROGERS

Gore, He used to be fixture in there
from our Country. Then when he
happened to be able to see further
than the mob during the war why he
lost out; now when the mob has
caught up with him, and they can look
back instead of having to look forward
why they send him back in there.
That gives Oklahoma two Democrats
which is of course as it should be, for
we are liberty loving people.
You're going to hear an awful lot in
the next few years about man from
South Dakota named Beulow. He is
a Democrat and from South Dakota.
Now that's like Zulu being discov-
cred on the Behring sea. He is a
comical old rascal, with lot of humor
and about twice as much common
sense as humor so he will be out of
place two ways in the senate. Watch
him and remember the name, B-E-U-
Low, and if he is to speak anywhere
near you don't miss him..
Course the old timers got back in
without even opposition like Pat Har-
rison, and Joe Robinson of Arkansaw.
They will be in the Senate when the
Farmers get relief. Joe Robinson is
mighty liable to be the Democratic
Nominee in 80. 1t will be between
him and Franklyn D. Roosevelt, and
they are both mighty fine men. Joe If
they want dry, and Roosevelt If they
want wet. But the vets seemed to
kinder swamp everything at this
meelee and are gaining strength every
day, so in 80 it looks like the wet
Candidate will have the edge at the
Nomination.
Still the west got a long way to go
yet. You see those States that voted
wet this time were ones that were
known to be wet all the time, when you
start voting on it all through the mid
die west and south you will find a
different tale, so both Parties will BE-
up against it as to just what to do ir
49, They will want to be wet for the
wet voters and dry for the dry voters
and they won't know which one ha:
the most votes, and they will be busiel
than Bird Dog trying to figure
which way to jump.
That gives you a pretty good line
on Politics; their personal feelings
have nothing to do with it, its which
way will the most votes be. I believe
a Candidate would go over Niagara
Falls If he was sure the wind was witt
him.

NORMAN EDISON sWAMPED

Our local artist, Norman Edison, re-
ports that for the past several weeks
he has been too busy turning out
orders to even eat or sleep regularly.
This is refreshing in the face of the
prevalent complaint of dull times. 1t
would seem that city stores were an
ticipating the usual holiday rush.
For the first time it has been the
good fortune of the News-Record shop
to handle a line of the Norman Edison

No more suitable or seasonable gift
could be imagined than one of the
Edison pictures, cards or calendars
which when framed would continue to
give pleasure for long time.

and with the help of the bevy of "re-
porters" a newspaper, consisting OF
four departments, society, sports
general news and fashions. was gotten
out in twenty minutes, being read to
the crowd by Miss Amalia Lawen.
Many of the gentlemen present de-
serted the living rooms for the Lilly
childrens' set of "peewee golf" but
were on hand to later join the rest
of the guests in the dining room. te
which, like the living room. was
decorated with vases of beautiful
chrysanthemums and dahlias. A long
table was spread with an Italian
cloth. and, at each end a coffee ser.
vice, Mesdames Stewart Of Burton
and Kalland, pouring.
The Mcintyre house in Burton ha.
been chosen by the Carstens, ane
