ROGERS

He is born the head man and stays
Him" till he passes out.
Indian is full of casts. They got
more castles than we have Commits
sions. They got one cast that is called
the "untouchables' they are not even
allowed to let their shadow fall across
one OF the upper classes. We cant
imagine it over here for we just have
two or three different ones, the Re-
publicans and the Democrats. The
Democrats have always occupied our
lowest position. They could let their
shadow fall anywhere. but in a select
ed official position, they were kinder
like the "Untouchables."
This fellow Ghandi wasent there.
1 think they got him in Jail again.
When there amt any more news from
India why the English are failing
Ghandi. He is an odd kind of duck,
we haven't got anyone over here to
in any way compare with him. He is
looked on as a kind of prophet. I
guess Coolidge would come nearer fit
ting him in that respect than anyone
else. Then he is Preacher too,
kinder like Bishop Cannon when he
was feeling good and sorter combined
Politics and preaching. But Ghandi
always preached mo violence" He al
ways said agree to everything England
wants, but don't do it, sort of syn
thetic resistance.
In build and physique from the
looks of his pictures, we haven't got
anybody like him urless it is Will
Hays. Bill is set up good deal like
Ghandi from the ARCHITECTURAL stand
point. He has got a following good
deal like William Jennings Bryan
used to have. They sure believe In
him. We haven't got anyone that has
a following comparable to him here
now. If either one of our Glasses"
had one like him, they would run EN-
for President. Well anyhow they
dident take him to the Conference, he
would have stole all the thunder from
the gold Turbaned Rajahs.
Now Britain amt going TO give them
any more Home rule than we are
going to give the Farmers relief. They
will just have big time and all go
home. and use the old Alabi like we
dc with the Philippines. You are
not ready for your Independence yet.
When we got ours, If history amt
an awful liar, we sure wasent In much
shape to handle It, you are hungry
but you are not able to eat yet"

Unique Program
Well Attended

One of the most unique entertain
ments ever given on Vashon Island
was presented last Friday evening by
japanese patrons of District 176 and
pupils of the school.
The evenings program consisted of
music and speaking. with Mr.. S.
Sasaki, leader of one of Seattle's
choirs, acting as master of ceremonies
and interpreter. Mrs. N. Hoski spoke
in her native tongue, and Tom Yoshi-
mura, graduate of the Vashon
school, spoke in behalf of the Ameri-
can-born Japanese.
Most delightfully."- surprising were the
two groups of native dances, the first
by group of grammar school girls,
and the second by group Of high
school girls. Music for these dances
was furnished by Mrs. U. Nishiyori,
who sang, accompanying herself on
the samisen. The girls were perfectly
trained by Mrs. Nishiyori, who during
The evening gave beautiful solo
dance. Her ability along this line was
surprise by all but a few of her
American neighbors and friends
Instrumental numbers were furnish
ed by Miriam Takatsuka, who played
piano solo, and Mrs. Hiro Nishi and
Mr.. F. Yorioka, who played duet on
The flute and Japanese harp.
Mrs. Hoshi delighted the audience,
by singing the Last Rose of Summer"
in Japanese. Her two small daughters
sang charmingly a song that particu-
larly suited their childish voices. Mr..
Sasaki sang a group of songs, one in
Japanese, composed in the 10th CEN
Jury, and BELLS of the Sea- in Eng
lish
Miss Mildred Bell and Kenneth Van
House sang two duets, Venetian Love
Song" and END OF a Perfect Day."
Pupils Of the school contributed two
choruses, a playlet, Magic Windows"
and selection by the rhythm band.
The auditorium of the school was
crowded to overlooking with Japanese
and American people from all parts
Of the Island While it was impossible
10 tell exactly how many listened to
The program final check-up shows
that more than 500 was realized, all
Of which is to be spent for library
books for the grammar school, 1t is
hoped that the books will be in the
library when the pupils return after
The holidays.

Kelso Elks' Club Buy
First Health Bond

Again to the Elks' Club of Kelso
goes the honor of purchasing the first
health bond in the Tuberculosis
Christmas Seal Campaign for funds
for 1881, according to Mrs. w. D. Van
Note, president of the Cowlitz County
tuberculosis League. Other reports
which have been sent to the Wash
ington Tuberculosis Association, in
Seattle, State agent for the sale are
also most encouraging.
Klickitat and Clark Counties expect
larger sales than last year The quick
responses received in these localities
shows determination On the part Of
the public to supply funds for the
continuation of the Child Health Edu-
cation program being conducted in
this district. Chelan and Okanogan
counties which are sponsoring a
similar project are anticipating an in
creased sale, while advance orders by
business firms in the larger centers
in many instances have been in
creased.
To date, the newspaper publicity for
the sale has been outstanding. Added
features are the many large bill board
posters displayed through the gen.
erosity of the poster advertising COM
panies; the hundreds of radio talks on
the tuberculosis campaign being given
through the courtesy of the various
broadcasting stations; and the thous-
ands of leaflets which have been en-
closed with monthly statements by
public utility and other firms.
The seal and advertising material
are most colorful and attractive, show
ing a jolly Santa Claus, ever dear to
the hearts of young and old. The
sale closes Christmas Eve. Help Santa
gather funds to prevent tuberculosis
in 1881.

Mrs. John Roberts Returns
From Southern California

Mrs. John Roberts, who was called
to California on urgent business
several weeks ago returned to Seattle
last Friday, coming over to the Island
on Saturday. Despite the cold and
fog which greeted her on her return
Mrs. Roberts states that It was well
come change after the conditions she
had experienced while away. The
Puget Sound air was sweet indeed
compared to the poisoned variety she
had been breathing Mrs. Roberts
says that she will take the Sound fogs
any time in preference to being gassed
in Southern California.
Mrs. Roberts has been making FREE
quent trips to Los Angeles since 1888
and says she likes it less every year.
She believes that the predicament in
which that section finds itself is
significant to the Northwest. AS the
result of advertising great num-
Der of people have been attracted to
the Southwest; many with a depend
ent that they hoped would be benefit
ted by the change of climate; a large
percentage without means; practically
all of them lured by the extrayagant
promises made in Los Angeles cam
paign of national advertising. This,
Mrs. Roberts feels, should prove a
lesson to the Northwest, and rather
than aim for a quantity increase of
population an effort should be made
to attract fewer number of the right
kind of people.
The attitude Of the people in the
Southwest is entirely different than
in the Northwest, Mrs Roberts found.
There the majority are nervous,
snappy, nerves on edge. This she at
tributed to the overcrowded condi-
tons; the trying climate, drouth and
too much sun being particularly hard
on nerves; lack of adequate water
supply is also an important contribut-
ing element The water is so bad that
it is necessary to boil the drinking
water, and the result of the condi-
ton of the water is that insufficient
drinking and bathing has its effect on
the attitude Of the people The I'M
employment situation, with its re-
sultant financial depression, also has

Los Angeles and its environs Lack
of money has resulted in decreased
tourist trade and hotel rooms that
would normally cost seven dollars a
day can be had for four. This de-
preston is true also in all other lines
OF business depending on the tourist
trade.
At meeting of the Breakfast Club
which she attended, Mrs. Roberts
heard story, told by Frank Fay, a
motion picture actor, that she feels
illustrates the fallacy of the policy
Los Angeles has adopted Mr.. Fay
said that he had two aunts who were
"string-savers" One of them aimed
at quality, and saved fancy string
from packages, such as Christmas
packages, while the other aunt was a
quantity saver, and all year saved all
manner of string, regardless. The
second aunt, Mrs. Roberts feels, repre-
sents Los Angeles, spending the entire
year gathering larger population,
regardless of anything but quantity.
The Northwest, in general, and Vashon
Island in particular would do well to
emulate the first aunt, and aim for
added population that will contribute
to the community in some way more
vital than just adding another figure

vAsuoN ISLAND woMANs CLUB.

Mrs Young and Mrs. Stewart were
hostesses for the Vashon Island
Woman's Club on December 2, enter
tanning at the home of Mrs. Young
After the delicious luncheon q short
business meeting was held and the
program committee then presented
Mrs. Hilda Bucknell who read splen-
did paper on television and radio, Civ
ing many of the wonderful things
brought to the daily lives of the aver
age citizen through the discoveries of
a few hard working scientists.
DR. Frank Grandy then gave lee
ture with Illustrations, that should
have been heard by every parent on
the Island His advice as to the use
of preventative measures, instead of
waiting until the dread diseases of
childhood have left their devastating
effects upon the lives of the little
children, was well worth hearing
whether one has children or not The
need of cleanliness in foods, water and
milk, and the proper diet of the grow
ing child with relation to the bones
and sturdiness of physique were put
so cleverly that there is no excuse for
any Island mother to have little
Crthopedic patient if they follow DR..
Grandy's instructions.
The holiday spirit started by Mrs.
Meredith's clever reading of poem
OF the first American Thanksgiving, at
the last meeting seemed to influence
this meeting as well and it is hoped
that the gay spirits keep growing until
the next meeting of the club which
will be at the home of Mrs. Richards,
to be held the evening Of December 49,
Mrs. Carstens, Miss Ruiz and Mrs
Humphrey were guests Of the club.

CONTRIBUTORS PLEASE
TAKE NOTICE.

Once again we are obliged to
repeat the request that copy be
sent in early in the week,
Churches, clubs, and other Or
carnations are asked to get
notices and news stories Of
meetings in by Tuesday morn
ing. Our correspondents are
cooperating with us by getting
their items in by wednesday
noon.
Contrary to the supposition
that they don't print the paper
until Thursday night, we have
worked out plan whereby we
get the paper in the post office
Thursday afternoon. If any,
one is laboring under the i'm
preston that after a story comes
into the office all we have to do
is say "abracadabra, hokus-
pokus, ETC." and the story con-
verts itself into type and oblig-
ingly issues forth finished
product, is heartily invited to
drop in some Tuesday after
noon, or Wednesday morning.
We won't promise TO take time
to be very polite, and entertain
you, but you are welcome to
poke around and find that get
ting out q paper is not as easy
as il looks.
We are glad to do our part
toward making a success Of
community affairs, but we must
insist on the elimination Of last
minute inspirations. 1t is not
one bit more painful to get
items in on Tuesday than on
Thursday, and by SO doing we
are much more likely TO keep
on doing our best to help out.
We know from the way that the
Island felix use our paper for
publicity that they appreciate
ii as valuable medium, so We
do not want to be forced by
lack of cooperation to refuse
space.

Cabaret Tickets
Are Going Rapidly

Twenty dollars worth of wholesome
fun and entertainment for the price
of ticket-that's the outlook for the
dinner dance and cabaret to be given
New Years Eve under the auspices of
the Vashon Island Auxiliary of the
Orthopedic hospital. The affair will
be the smartest and most elaborate
be the most enjoyable social event of
the season on the Island
The proceeds will go to the fund re-
quired by the Orthopedic hospital to
make up the $4,000 deficit in this
years operations. The purpose of the
frolic, accordingly, is charitable, and
who does not like to help charity
that means straight legs for crooked
ones and strong arms for ~withered
ones? Especially when such help
means an evening of merriment. King
Joy will be master of ceremonies from
the time the gathering assemblies
about the tables until the Old Year
gallops into history and the New Year
arrives with its promise of better
times for everybody.
Therell be dancing and speciality
acts while the patrons are dining and
between courses therell be music SO
that all who wish may dance until
the next course. Exercise aids the
digestion and even the most dyspetic
should benefit from the entertain
ment.
The generous hearted people of the
Island are asked to donate food.
Generous hearted artists already have
donated their acts. All expenses will
be published so that every person buy
ing a dollars worth of entertainment
will know that the dollar means
benefit to the well-being of crippled
children that cannot be measured in
hard cash.
1t is hoped, and it now seems as
sured, that the Orthopedic dinner
dance and cabaret will be regular
annual event hereafter Mrs. Emil
H Miller, general chairman for the
dinner dance and cabaret, is inspiring
all the committee chairmen and mem
bers with her charming enthusiasm.
Everyone is catching the spirit Of the
occasion and striving to put it over in
a large way.
Tables are being reserved at rate
unprecedented in former events of the
kind A number OF no-host tables,
with as many as IL to the table, have
been reserved. Cosy little tables for
two or four are going fast. AS there
will be only room for 200 patrons and
as reservations are piling up, patrons
should not delay in getting their
tickets.
And, speaking of tickets, a number
of generous hearted men of the Island
have bought tickets for members of
the orchestra. These young men and
women will give the whole evening to
the entertainment Of the guests and
they do rot have to pay for their sup
per as well as play for the suppers.
So phone your request to Mrs. Gates,
Black 143, for ticket for the Or
chestra when you reserve your table.
A list of no host tables reserved to
date follows.
Mr.. and Mrs Emil H. Miller are
sponsoring a table for ten to include,
