Parma, Italy July 1 (P) - That the bicycle, even in this motorized age, may well have it's uses in war time is the opinion of Gen. Gazzera, Italian minister of war.
 Two hundred officers taking courses in the higher infantry school here, together with 70 cadets from the army academy at Modena, were sent on biking tour all over the surrounding countryside.

w. B. Warehouse

Miss Elizabeth Moede of Yakima
was a visitor at our warehouse Tues
day.
This week, honorable mention
should and shall be given Mrs. Bel
din, who has among her achievements
the following:
(a) Tying pink paper bows to the
back of Phil Heath's apron.
(b) Sticking Bob Remlinger with
pin when he is STOPPING over.
(c) Tying weiners to any or every
body's apron strings.
Cd Making hideous noises by
sliding her packing frame back and
forth on it's slide.
Here are some things for which
we anxiously wait: Irvie to tell US
We don't have to work Sunday; Lot
il 10 start wearing striped overalls;
Mrs. Bruce to remove that sailor
blouse, (by the way she doesn't wear
it very much lately.)
Wednesday we worked overtime
again. Mr.. Wright warned us all be-
fore hand to bring along an extra
hot dog for lunch at six o'clock. TAX
ing his advice, a few ladies brought
some weiners to heat for their sup
pers. Placing the weiners under the
sorting platform they proceeded to
sort blissfully along while Teddy, the
dog, began to investigate. He ripped
open the package and helped himself.
Mrs. Heath says that now they know
why Irvie wanted them to bring hot
dogs. At any rate, the next weiners
the ladies bought disappeared also.
But it wasn't Teddy this time. Mr..
Hill had hidden them to give the
sorters surprise.
For the second time this season we
had an entire Sunday off last week.
The shock of it so nearly overcame
Lottie Beldon that she was unable to
come to work Monday forenoon.

case among our own ranks. She

An extra recess was declared last
Friday at this warehouse while let
ter was read written by Shorty Kiser
to the crew thanking them for the
flowers they sent him while he was
in the hospital at Pasco.
Quite a little excitement prevailed
few mornings ago when word was
received that Mrs. iPonsat had a brok-
en- wishbone, due to an accident on
her way to work. 1t was the Ford's
wishbone, however, Mrs. Ponsat hav-
ing been only badly frightened.
Our inspector seems to be grow

gust or envy. Prince Abadaba has

it, too, but Art can pass out the
checks and gather them up again.

Companies are violating depart.

the pilots. Appalling plane disas-
tiers often result from eagerness
for profits, irrespective of passen-

compelled to take their planes out

discharge. Employers frequently
demand that the commerce de-
