Formal Opening OF
Vashon Island Golf
Course May 24th

While plans are IS yet incomplete
Saturday May Oath is the date set
for the formal opening of the Vashon
Island Golf Club course on Maury Is
land.
This is the occasion to which the
members have been looking forward
during the past year, while the course
has beer under construction. The
progress made by this organization has
been remarkable in many ways. With
only handful of members who had
ever played golf the balance of
the membership displayed marvellous
craftsmanship in being willing to in
vest their time and money simply on
the strength of knowing what an up
to-the-minute golf course would mean
to the Island in attracting attention.
The fine nine-hole course is adjudg-
ed one of the most interesting courses
in this part of the state. 1t is now,
az the end of year much farther
along than some of the courses that
have been PLAYED on for several years.
1t is definitely announced that one
of the attractions Of the formal opening
will be an exhibition foursome from
Seattle, Mrs. H. o. Young, Of Over
lake, city champion; Mrs. C. F, Lind
ley, Inglewood; Curley Hueston, pro-
iessional, Jackson Park and Dan
Kenny, professional, Arctic Club. There
will also be a foursome Of noted anne
teurs from Seattle ane Tacoma.
The first foursome will tee off about
2:S0 p. m. Full announcements of the
various events will be available early
next week.
After the game the visitors will be
entertained at dinner to be given at
Watseka Lodge at 6 o'clock.

WEEDS ALONG THE ROAD

Repeated complaints come In regard
to the weeds along the Cedarhurst
road, and those who use this road
frequently maintain that the weeds
and underground along the road con-
stitute real hazard One of the
loveliest roads on the Island, the
Cedarhurst road, while extremely
scenic is not one of the safest roads,
and surely those who are obliged to
use it would seem to be Justified in
their complaint, and their request that
some time be spent in cutting the
weeds back at least short distance
from the road, so that they can have
clear vision.

the years work into two separate
parts, allowing students to begin new
subjects in the middle of the year

periods. An extensive program Of
intramural athletics will also be in.

"a Bit Of Leaven
BY N. P. j.
PRACTICAL

Two men applied for Polly's hand,
Whose hearts were soft and mellow;
And Polly couldn't quite decide
Upon the lucky fellow.
For both were fine and manly chaps.
And both were out of college,
And both were known as wonders
or accumulated knowledge.
And she was pleased, as girls al are
At their extreme devotion,
Tho how to tell which one to choose
Shed not the faintest notion;
But-when she learned that one taught
Greek,
And one played ball, the matter
Became straight financial deal
And so she chose the latter!

dock. The goods had been shipped
on the afternoon boat from Tacoma,

SAY IT WITH SONGS"
 AT COLISEUM FRIDAY

The singin' est picture ever made,' Al Jolson says of Say It With Songs." his latest Vitaphone alI-talking, aIl-singing Warner Bros. picture which comes to the Coli scum for Friday and Saturday.
 The story of Say It With Songs" leads naturally to a wide selection of songs. h the role of songwriter and radio entertainer the one and only Al has a chance to sing many new numbers, new ones and several old ones. He is seen singing at broad casting stations, at home to his Little Pal, (played inimitably by wee Davey Lee) and from prison where he has been sent as the result of the accidental killing of the man who tried to break up his home. It is considered rare good fortune by a song writer to have Jolson choose one of his songs for that alone stamps it with later public approval. Most of Jolson's songs are either written by himself or in collabora- tion. In picture that has as many musical hits as Say It With Songs," however, staff of qualified Tin Pan Alley musical experts were en- gagged to do the songs.
 The story of Say It With Songs," is by Daryl Francis zanuck and Harvey Gates. Scenario by Jo- seph Jackson. The support in- cludes beside Davey Lee, Marion Nixon, Holmes Herbert, Kenneth Thompson and Fred Kohler. Lloyd Bacon directed.

MAKE IT YOURSELF:

Since all girls love nice lingerie things, a most acceptable Christmas gift is a pair of new petti-pants.
 These are made of very fine Ninon. georgette, lace or point d'esprit, accordion pleated onto a yoke of crepe de chine. They have enough fullness to make them a lit- tie short petticoat. all you need with some of the lame or velvet dresses, but they have their fullness front and back and not on the sides, so that you can have the sveltest figure while wearing them.
 To make them. take a regular yoke pattern and cut 1t double, of crepe de chine or flat crepe, finish ing it at the top with hemstitching or lace or fine hand scanning. Then you cut your lower portion to fit the yoke, any pattern will do, and allow extra width enough to make two rows of pleatins for the front and two for the back. You can fin ish the bottom of the lower portions before you have them pleated, either with hand-hemstitching or a fine hand-hem or lace.
 If you want 10 do things up brown, you can monogram a little running name or your friends ini- tials in the left hand lower edge of the front.

Childs Bill of Rights

Time was, not so long ago, when being born was a strictly private matter, and growing up q matter Of luck.
 That was in the so-Called good old days, before birth registration, when thousands of infants were per n.anently blinded by gonorrhea of the eye, technically called ophthal- mia neonatorum, and, when at least one-third of all the babies born died before they reached their first birth day.
 Now, however. things have changed. The state insists upon knowing who is born and when. IL figures that the record might prove valuable in establishing citizenship, york privileges, inheritance right. etc.
 It requires that drops" consist ing of some suitable silver solution, be instilled in the eyes Of the new born child to prevent the disastrous ophtalmia neonatorum.
 Furthermore, by safeguarding milk. the principal food of infants and babies, and by teaching moth CTS the proper care Of the young, the state, with the aid of physicians, public health workers and cduca- tors, has been able 10 reduce the item of chance. or luck, in the proc css of growing up.
 4 bill of rights for children has been formulated. The right to be we'll born tops the articles, then fol- lows the demand for those safe guards which modern science pro- vides: breast feeding, when that IS possible; exposure to sunlight and fresh air; the use of cod liver oil, 0" some dependable substitute to prevent rickets; freedom from un- necessary fuss and bother; strict prohibition cf kissing on th {: mouth: safeguarding against all persons suffering from infectious or contagious diseases, and especially against those suffering from just a cold"
 And there is the provision before the first birthday comes for vacci- nation against small pox and im- munization against diphtheria.
