conner In the arena, so to speak. 1t is
an item OF particular interest because
OF much curiosity regarding the design
for the Internal Revenue Building. one
section Of which is now nearing COM
pletion.
From the outset of the planning for
the Mall-Avenue triangle constructions
1t has been recognized that the Post
ONCE Department would be wholly "out
of the picture" of the new Government
layout south of Pennsylvania avenue.
Never OF an attractive type, at best an
architectural blunder, 1t would in the
new scheme be decided blot on the
landscape"
For some time past concern has been
felt by uniformed observers regarding
the north wall Of the Internal Revenue
unit. q bare facade without any reliev-
ing adornment, and with a red brick
wall at the northeast corner and an.
other ut the northwest. It is not gen.
orally known that the plan for this
building contemplates . great rectangle,
Of which the unit now in the last stages
Of construction is only the southern
section. The facade will continue
north on Tenth street and west on
Pennsylvania avenue to Twelfth, and
thence southwark to join the already
standing western flank. This, OF course,
involves the removal Of the Post once
Department, which occupies the north
west corner Of the site. The inclusion
of the new Post once Department in
the group to be provided for in the
second flight" Of public constructions
thus assures fairly early clearance Of
the ground to permit the completion Of
the Internal Revenue Building,

The Second Group Of Buildings.

Observers Of the progress on the con-
structions within the Mall-Avenue tri-
angle for the accommodation of the
Department Of Commerce and the In
ternal Revenue Building, which are
rapidly approaching completion, have
doubtless wondered whether the Sc
quence of building operations under the
comprehensive Government housing
plan will be rapid and regular. These
two structures are but the beginning
of the great project which when COM

these works all together, but to extend

fathers who have attained a high de.

in their sons the very qualities that
have made them what they are. They
seem to assume that success is largelv

seem that a youth can experience mo

this to the deeper things of our moral

hold in the way Of religious belief
what we adhere to in the way of prin-

BY WILLIAM HARD.

THE HAGUE, February Sit is con-
fidently expected here that the League
Of Nations will select an American in
September to succeed Charles Evans
Hughes on the World Court. Among
the judges of the court there is no
idea as to who that American is likely
to be.
The departure of Mr.. Hughes, owing
to his nomination as Chief Justice Of
the United States Supreme Court, is
immensely regretted and felt as a great
loss. Judge B. G. j. Loder, for IS
years Judge Of the supreme court of
the Netherlands, then first chief JUS
tice of the World Court and the most
distinguished jurist in Europe, said:
Justice Hughes was a breath of fresh
energy in our Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice. His withdrawal Is
q sad blow. I hope his successor is a
man Of the same splendid powers of
intellect and organization"
A new difflculty. nevertheless, has
arisen regarding the next American
judge. The new regulations for the
World Court, as drawn up by the
League, provide that judges, except

BATHING BEAUTY CONTEST
LAUNCHED BY LEGION

The Legion dance at which the two
entries from this valley will be chosen
for the Bathing Beauty contest at the
Fourth of July celebration in Yakima,
will be given Saturday evening, June
%, in the Community hall at Hanford.
This was decided at the monthly meet
ing of John Lindblad Post. Tuesday
evening.
A committee of Post members has
been appointed to sell dance tickets
and supply of the tickets has also
been placed in number of business
houses in town. Each ticket entities
the purchaser to cast 200 votes for
his choice of an entry for the contest,
printed ballots being given with each
ticket. The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Post will serve lunch at the dance.
Sales made by the Auxiliary will also
be good for votes the number depend
ing on the amount of the purchase,
on the basis of 200 votes for each dol
lar.
The Post voted to give two Jantzen
bathing suits to the two lucky winners
from this valley to wear at Yakima.
A chaperone from among the mem
bers of the Auxiliary will accompany
the girls to Yakima.

HIGH WATER NOT LIKELY

Unless it shows sudden squirt
within the next few days, which does
not seem likely, the Columbia river
will register this year its lowest
high water in the past twenty-four
years, according to Sam Allard, oper-
ator in charge of the pumping plant
at Allard and the power station at
Priest Rapids. The high peak of the
river is usually reached between the
18th and goth of June each year. The
lowest high water since the measuring
guage was installed at the pumping
plant, was in 1923 when the guage
registered 523 feet above sea level.
On June II, this year it registered
518 feet. or feet under the reading
of 1928, Mr.. Allard said. The rise in
the river this year has been very
gradual. In fact there have been times
during the season when it actually
receded little for few days. There
has been practically no drift wood
running and those WHO in the past
have been depending on securing
their winter fuel supply from the
river may find themselves short this
year unless they find enough lodged
along the shores that was carried
down the river in the past seasons of
high water.

EXPECT FARM RECORDS SOON

Mr.. R. M. Turner, Acting Director
and Farm Management Specialist OF
the Extension work, will be in the
County Monday and Tuesday June
%, and "a to work with the County
Agent in the returning of summary
sheets to those cooperating in the
farm analysis records taken early in
the year. The return of these analysis
sheets has been delayed due to the
fact that Mr.. Turner was asked to
take the position of Acting Director
until such time as the position was
definitely filed. 1t is hoped and ex-
pected that future records will be re-
turned to the farmers very shortly
after their being sent in.
The analysis and summary of these
records show that the farm income
on the farms taken is next to the
highest taken in the various Counties,
of the State, that is, this County ranks
high in labor income. The records
were checked over by the Agent
while at Pullman during the past
week and while we do not have de-
tails of the study at this time a num-
her of these will be presented to the
people of the County through the
press.

LOST PILOT LANDS HERE

A pilot, believed to have been Ray
Norby of st. Paul, driving yellow
monocoupe plane, landed at White
Bluffs airport Monday afternoon. He
said he was on his way from Spokane
to Seattle and had become lost in a
dust storm. Joe Grell, local aviator,
was in town and went out to the land
ing field and talked to him. Joe says
he is quite sure that Norby was the
name he gave him. He told Joe he had
only ten gallons of gas in his tank and
refused to refuel with ordinary gas,
saying he would put only airplane gas
in the tank, which could not be pur-
chased here. Joe told him that with
the head wind blowing it was extreme
ly doubtful if he could cover the 60
miles to Yakima with that amount OF
fuel but he said he would try it. When
he took off, instead of heading due
west to Yakima he took nothwesterly
direction toward Priest Rapids and Ell
lensburg. Joe says he thinks this was
due to the fact that his compass was
off, the variation here being different
from Minnesota, which the pilot did
not seem to understand He was carry
ing woman passenger In the plane
but her name was not learned.
The Spokane Chronicle Tuesday eve
ming said that Ray Norby, with Iona
Worth, an actress, as passenger, left
Spokane in a yellow monocoupe for
Vancouver, b. O., Monday morning and
after taking off at Wilson Creek, where
he landed after getting lost in the dust
storm about o'clock that afternoon,
nothing had been heard of him since.

FIRST fire FIGHTING
EQUIPMENT IS ORDERED

Those in White Bluffs who have
contributed to the fund for fire fight
ing equipment, at a meeting Tuesday
evening. authorized the committee
having the matter in charge, to pur-
chase the following apparatus: twelve
21a gallon fire extinguishers; 800 feet
of 2HI inch fire hose, equipped with
nozzles; one fire ladder; two lanterns
and an axe.
The total cost of this equipment,
delivered in White Bluffs, will be
$4,000. The committee, Fred Gilhuly
Ira Jones and ]. M. Shinn, reported
that It had actually collected $315 and
had more or less definate promises OF
additional funds.
The equipment ordered purchased
will serve as the first unit, to which
it is hoped others may be added until
the town will be fortified with fairly
satisfactory fire fighting apparatus.
The next purchase will probably be a
truck to carry the hose and booster
pump to increase the pressure in the
hose line. Local mechanics believe
they can build these two latter items
here for far less than the regularly
manufactured ones cost. .
The apparatus so far purchased will
not be of much use except in town,
but if the. hose cart and booster pump
can be added the entire equipment
would serve the whole community. A
number of the ranchers have indicated
willingness to contribute funds for
this purpose and it is possible that a
canvass of the community outside of
the town will be made little later
to find out how the farmers in gen.
eral feel about it.
