One of the improvements
of which Kennewick has long
been proud is its sidewalk sys-
tenn. Perhaps no other town
of its size in the state can
boast of more cement walks
than we have here. At the
time they were built there was
a large portion of the travel
by foot. The fine wide side
walks were certainly an adj
vantage.
But times do change. The
wide walks down the main
street are no longer needed.
We have thought for a long
time that we could do well
with half their present width,
the idea being to plant a row
of shade trees between the
narrowed walk and the curb
line. Such a plan would GER
tanly prove wonderful during
our torrid season and would
make our town one of the
most distinctive in the state.

We feel that the express
sion of the councilmen over
the bus controversy is taking
the proper view of the mat
ter. While everyone admits
the desirability Of having
tourists stop over in a town
whether they travel in their
own cars or by the bus routes,
nevertheless the companies
operating the lines should
not be granted privileges
which their competitors can
not have nor those denied to
local residents. True enough,
the bus companies have made

these few rules would not
take so long, and perhaps
they would be of great value.
If you are not a humani-
tartan, look at it another way.
Each year the educational
institutions of the state turn
out so many thousands of
graduates, supposedly fitted
for life, and on whom consid-
cradle state money has been
spent. Yet they are unable to
cope with the intricate prob
lens Of everyday life, the in
tensely practical problem OF
preserving their own lives on
the highways and streets,
either as pedestrian or as
drivers. Perhaps, to save the
lives of these future citizens,
who, educated as they are,
should be our best citizens, it
would be worth that slight
a d ditto n al expenditure to
teach them how to protect
their own lives.
The time for that educa-
ton is during the formative
stage, when the complexities
of modern living have not so
crowded the mind that there
is little room left for learning
such prosaiac things as self
preservation.

lousy" with satisfaction of our
selves. Just think what we could
do over here if we ALL worked.
Don't get scared, / am not putting
this in as plan. But we must
admit that other things being
equal the nation that works and
saves and don't let the profits go
into the hands of a few thousand
or million men. They are going to
be dangerous competitors. We
can't just laugh it off. We pros
pered for years on nothing, but
our natural resources. Well they
have got twice as much of any
thing as we ever had before we
used it up. It's terrible way to
live, and do, but you can't beat
hard work, sacrifice, and unlimit-
ed resources. It's liable, if it does
just even half way work out, to
have us winging on our foreign
trade. But that's for Mr.. Hoover
and Pat Hurley to worry about. /

81 NEVER READ THE
ADVERTISEMENTS

You know this person. He
thinks he is telling the truth.
But quiz him and he will re-
cite the make of his motorcar
his hat, his shirt, his suit, his
shoes, his tooth paste, his
towels, ad infinitum -. with
the accent on the 's.ad.' In
other words, they are all adj
vertised products.
Why, he could no more es-
cape the presence and the
power of the printed word
than he could evade eating or
sleeping. The advertisements
are a definite part of contem-
porary American life. Their
messages are vital to daily ex-
lstence. They have a definite
association with the pocket
book than which there is no.
thing more intimate and per-
sonal.
The important thing is not
merely to ssread the advertise
ments," but to read ALL of
them. The one advertisement
you didn't see" may contain
information you would have
given a great deal to possess.
Certainly, it is as important
to you to know that Smiths
are having a sale of sheets or
shirts, as to read that Con-
gress will hold a special ses-
ion!

horses had something like a yolk

LOOK TO THE CHILDREN

About sixteen per cent
of those killed in automobile
accidents during 1880 were
children between the ages of
5 to IA years. Six per cent
were children up to four years
of age. Thus a total of about
20 per cent, or $500 children
died under the wheels of the
automobile. These $500 were
all under the driving age.
William Cole, chief of the
state highway patrol, says
problem of handling the child
rem is one to be faced in the
future. eff we are to have a
crop of really expert drivers,
if we are able to have a real
sane flow of traffic, if the
time is to come when men &
women don't shed their good
manners and their courtesy
like a cloak when they step
into an automobile he says,
"then we must get to the
drivers of tomorrow
He suggests a means: Per
haps the time will come when
proper procedure, either as
pedestrian or driver, will be
taught as part of the regular
school training, when credits
in the motor code and in the
operation of motor vehicles
will be necessary to achieve
the much coveted diploma, to
say nothing of the operators

There is a sane suggestion.

Nearly 10 years ago each was en-
gagged as piano soloist in making
records and piano rolls. Each was
supposed to introduce as many notes,
f1ourishes and novelties as possible
into his playing and include all the
variations Of a jazz orchestra.
After working near each other for
awhile, they decided to combine their
20 fingers at a single piano. A duet
they accomplished the desired effects
from the musical standpoint, but the
teamwork developed into a first class

feet and hands just would get tangled
