State Primary
is Dull Affair
Only One Hot Fight; King
County Has Wet-Dry
Issue
By RICHARD HAMILTON

Washington's primary campaign
the dullest of decade-will end
Saturday and on Tuesday the vot-
ers will go to the polls to nomin-
ate republican and democratic
candidates for congress, legisla-
ture and county offices, and to
elect more than 5000 precinct COM
mitteemen for both parties. In adj
dition, voters of the rival parties
will join on the nonpartisan ballot
to ratify the election Of Justices
Mitchell, Main and Willard to the
supreme court, and to select a
number of judges for the super
ior court and justices of the peace
While generally the campaign
has been colorless, resulting in the
promise of light vote, the fill
ings and some of the contests have
developed several highlights
worthy of note:
One contest stands out in the
congressional field-the lively
fight of Ralph A. Horn, wet, re-
publican chairman of King county,
to displace the veteran Represent
alive John Miller, noisy supporter
of President Hoover and silent
hacker of prohibition. Just now it
looks like a toss up. Horr is max
ing an effective uphill fight, STIR
ring the wet sentiment of Seattle,
both republican and democratic. On
the other hand, Miller's strategy
does not seem to be panning out
any too well. Miller is trying to
hold some of the wet vote by cling
ing to President Hoover; and not
wishing to drive away the temper
ate vets, he is doing nothing to
arouse bone-dry people. Of course,
Miller is not yet beaten, but he's
hard pressed; and, if he loses, it
viii be because he failed to attract
the drys by refusing to call for
their help. Anyway, it's pretty
fight.
In the second district, Represent
alive Hadley of Bellingham,
cracking dry and a Hooverite,
looks safe for another two-year
term. He has two dry opponents,
who seemingly are making little
or no progress; and a wet rival,
Frank Hammond of Seattle, who,
it appears, is "hoisting a loner."
Representative Albert johnson
of Hoquiam, dean of the congress
men, is almost certain to be re-
turned for his tenth term. His
thief opponent is John McCut-
.heon of Tacoma, bright young
fellow, but a political unknown.
Mr.. johnson was given close run
n 1928; he's still nervous, so he is
rustling for votes, and the pros
poets are he. will win by a long
margin.
In the fourth district, Congress
nan Summers wins by default hav-
ng neither republican nor demo-
cratic opposition. 1t is the second
for "Doc" Summers
n six years, notwithstanding the
.idicule and groans from the upper
Yakima valley.
Congressman Sam Hill. demo-
rat, is without opposition for the
nomination in the fiji
h district. But T. w. Symons and
J. Loyal Atkinson, both of Spo-
zane, are bidding for the republi-
AN nomination, the chances ap-
bearing in favor of Mr.. Symons.
It probably won't matter, however,
because the republican organiza-
ion is Indifferent, thereby tacitly
the reelection of Mr..
Hill.

Farm Labor
VALLEY City Tines Record

VALLEY City Times-Record)
The slowing down in industrial activity during the
last two months Of the year 1929 had one effect which
has escaped general attention and that is its bearing on
the farm labor market. According to a recent statement
from the United States department of agriculture the
supply OF farm labor on January LIST was Is per cent
greater than the demand, with a consequent lowering
Of farm wages in all parts of the country. Continuing
the report says:
Farm wages increased during the first ten months Of
last year but from October, 1929, to January l this year,
the curtailment IN industrial activity resulted in q sharp
increase in the supply of farm labor and a greater than
average seasonal decline in farm wages"
This Is interesting in view of the fact that we have been
to farm prosperity has been the scarcity of farm labor
with the consequent high wages it was necessary to pay
farm help. This was accomplished for by our constantly
mounting industrial prosperity which, it was stated. was
attracting labor from the farm to the city, where greater
wages were to be had.
It is extremely doubtful, however, whether increasing
the supply Of farm labor through an industrial slump
in the cities would be Of any benefit to the farmers.
Indeed, quite the reverse Is apt to be true for the rea-
son that 1t is the people in our cities and towns who
furnish for the farmer his greatest market. II these
people in the urban districts are unemployed or en-
ployed at part time they cannot consume as many Of the
farmers products as would be the case were they stead
lily employed and prosperous. That Is one OF the rea-
sons why the farmer, whether he realizes It or not, Is
vitality interested In an adequate protective tariff on In
dustrial as well Is farm products.
However, 1t is not to be expected that there viii be any
further increase IN the supply Of farm labor due to In
dustrial depression In the cities. The present indica-
lions are that the winter slump Is nearing its end and
that the tide Of prosperity will soon be rising again.

Editorial Comment
Increasing Interest in Gliding
pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

pittsburgh POSt-GaZette)
It was inevitable that the work which Col. Charles A.
Lindbergl is Going on the Pacific coast with the glider
should have effect over the country. The first evidence
is at the present aviation show in New York, where q
number OF the motorlesS "sailplaneS' are on view and
are attracting considerable notice. It is to be expected
that the Pittsburgh show of next month will have ex-
hib!ts Of some OF the latest models, just as the display
OF last year offered information about them.
Gliding has attained its principal popularity in Ger
many where skill in the art has been developed to a high
degree. Some OF the best gliders have remained aloft
for hours. The object of Col. Lindbergh's present work
is to equal or excel the marks held by the Germans.
The study OF air currents and structural problems of
aviation are aided by the operation of gliders: it is not
a sport. AS q means Of attracting recruits to
the air the soarers should have distinct utility. The
unpropelled devices are assurance that aviation will de-
velop other angles than high speed flight and that the
operation OF the great planes may have an easy way OF
when the technique Of gliding becomes avail
able for beginners.

The Problem of Hazing

Hazing is one of the perennial problems for the Amer.
lean college.
Every college has its troubles with it at some time o,
another. Just now it is North Carolina State that is thu
unlucky institution, with three students expelled for thu
offerse and several more under investigation.
The facts in the case are of the usual kind. One stu
dent was pulled out of bed by masked invaders and beat
en- so badly that he was painfully injured. Several 9th
or students were forcibly given grotesque hair cuts.
Just what it is that makes intelligent young men carry
on activities like this is a puzzler. One would suppose
that a college man, of all people, would be above such
idiotic barbarities, But the trouble crops out in all col.
leges. 1t almost makes one suspect that there is a hid
den, Unborn streak of cruelty in the American charac-
ter.

DIET IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

DIET IN THEORY AND PRACTICE
The name for such portions Of HUI
man knowledge as have been more
or less generalized, systematixed and
verified, is called science" The
sciences have been variously classi-
fled into theoretical sciences and
practical sciences. In the study Of
health and disease we must consider
both Of these aspects II we can ex-
pect to reach any helpful conclusions
which will assist us In becoming
healthier and happier.
From the sciences Of chemistry, Of
physics, of biology, Of mathematics,
and all OF the natural sciences, we
have gained much from theoretical
discussion and psychological reason
ing, but it is equally true that q vast
wealth of valuable material has been
acquired from the practical side Of
these subjects applied to a study Of
the laws of life.
Volumes have been written upon
such short subjects as dietetics, as
viewed frem a theoretical laboratory
standpoint. but VI are often still too
much at a loss to know what is c
tually good for US to eat. Lecturers
are travelling about the country Civ
ing courses in dietetics and philos-
ophy, and only too often does the
earnest seeker after truth come away
with his head full of theoretical ideas
and so little Of practical knowledge
that he hopelessly returns to his reg
ular corned beef and cabbage meals.
DoubtleSsly, any study Of a scien-
tific subject Is of some help inasmuch
as it stimulates the processes of
thought, yet, I believe too much en-
phasis is often placed upon the lab
oratory. study of such a subject as
dietetics and not enough upon the
serviceable, commonsense perspective.
Some Of the ablest physicians I have
known have had little training in
their medical course upon such a
subject. Because of their ability to
give useful advice they have sue
cceded in bringing about cures with
their patients. where the highly
trained practitioner, so sure of his
skill and knowledge, has failed to
achieve even passing success.
The physician graduating with the
highest h0nors from the best medical
college is often forced into being only
an assistant to the physician who
realizes the need of the practical APP
plication of sensible advice. A new
field is opening up for the student,
whether he be a practitioner Of the
healing art or not, who will learn how
to teach suffering humanity q better
way Of living.

When a Dog Held Up the Revolution

VIGIL q Lug 11ClU W LllC NSVOluClOu
The really interesting events In history don't always
get the space they deserve. The books are full Of brief
hints that stir our curiosity; but curiosity Is always get
! ting let down with a thump.
There is, for instance, the matter of General Howes
pet dog.
Rupert Hughes, in the third volume Of his life OF
Washington, gives as many of the facts as he can find
and then speculates about the rest: and no reader can
help wishing tina: the chroniclers of the old days had
gone out OF their way a bit to set down the whole story.
What happened was this:
General Howe, commanding the British army that oc-
cupied Philadelphia. had a small dog that he price
very highly. In 1778. or whereabouts, Howe made one of
his forays out of Philadelphia in the hope of catching
Washington off guard and smashing him. Washington
lodged him; but Howe's dog-imbibing. perhaps. the
American spirit Of liberty-wento on the loose, and when
the roll was called was not to be found.
Instead Of staying with his British master, he had
wandered straight into the American camp, where he
was busily making friends with the ragged Continentals!
A day or SO later Washington sent out a squad with a
flag of truce. The squad approached the British lines,
was met by British sentries-and formally handed over
General Howes deg. who trotted back to headquarters
to receive the generals forgiveness.
That's the story. And somehow we'd be willing to
swap a lot Of accounts of battles and political maneuvers
for a good, eyewitness account of that little transaction
between the lines.
Inc tnlnS ISM nara 10 picture, at that. one can
imagine the squad of bronzed Americans stalking along
in military formation, with the excited dog tugging on
a leash and-no doubt-drawing a string of half affect
ionate curses from the sergeant detailed to lead him;
the arrival of this squad at the British outpost. with all
hands presenting arms; the subtle relaxation Of military
dignity as some immaculate, relocated British sergeant
took the pup into custody-and, lastly, the parade OF
the British squad to the commanding officers tent, with
the dog joyously frisking forward to stick his wet nose
into the face of the good-natured British general.
That's the sort of history that makes interesting read
To be sure, it isn't SO terribly important; yet, after
it does make the men of that day come to life for us.
