COUNTY GETS
ROAD MONEY
North Bank to Be Elk
tended; Ferry Road
Taken Over

Thru the signing Of the legis-
lature's highway appropriation
bill, the North Bank road to Ken
newick has become an actuality.
Two hundred fifty thousand dol
lars of the highway money was
allocated to the continuation of the
road between Maryhill to connect
with the Inland Empire Highway
in the vicinity of Kennewick.
Surveys for this road are now
being complated from both ends of
the proposed route. A crew of
surveyors is working out of Ken
newick toward Paterson, on the
Columbia river in the southwest
corner of the county, and another
crew is working east from Mary
hill toward Paterson.
The proposed road makes almost
straight line from the hill just
west of town to the town Of Pat
rson and contains no grades great
er than five percent.
A campaign will be conducted
by the local Chamber of CONNER
ce to expedite the expenditure of
this money so that it can be COM
pleted at the earliest possible date.
The emergency appropriation of
S51, 900 for the maintenance and
betterment of the temporary road
from Kennewick to the ferry at
Plymouth also received the Gov
ernor's sanction. This will relieve
this road district from a large bill
of expense and will permit better
ments on the local farm roads.

Americas Trust in God M
Perpetuated on Coins

The religious motto ''In God We
Trust" first appeared on the coins OF
the country in 1854. 1t was the result
of the increased religious fervor
brought. on by the Civil war. The
then secretary of the treasury. S. p.
Chase, received many appeals from
people all over the country urging that
the Deity be recognized on the Amer
lean coins In like manner as those
of foreign nations.
Secretary Chase wrote to the direc-
tor Of the mint at Philadelphia, No
vember 80. 1861, stating that mo ma
tlon can be strong except In the
strength of God, or safe except in his
defense. The trust Of our people In
God should be declared on our national
coins. You will cause device to be
prepared without unnecessary delay
with motto expressing in the few.
est words possible this national recog-
nitiOn." M feglr rr asL al.
Several forms were suggested. Some
Of the coins prepared in 1862 bore the
motto God Our Trust" and some
coined In 1853 were marked "God and
Our Country" The familiar form of
the motto was decided upon and the
two-cent pieces which appeared in
1864 were the first to carry it. The
motto is not used on all coins.

Memorial Recognized as -
Enduring Work of Art

To member of the wonderful fam.
lily Of Adams 1t fell to leave the world
one Of the most beautiful memorials
to q woman In existence anywhere, the
masterpiece Of Saint-Gaudens In Rock
Creek cemetery In Washington. It
was In 1872 that Henry Adams mar
ried Marian Hooper. the daughter Of
Robert william Hooper Of Boston. For
years they lived in Washington. John
Hay has left the opinion that there
never had been such salon there as
that over which she. presided. Those
were the years of the close intimacy
Of Adams. Hay and Clarence King.
Henry Adams and his wife used to
read together and ride together and
that alienation constituted a large
part Of their lives. II was in 1885,
when Richardson was building the
well-known adjacent houses Of hay
and Adams, that Mrs. Adams, who
had been in Ill health, "dIed suddenly
under peculiarly tragic circumstances"
az the event is described by Allen
Johnson, the historian.
Adams. heavily stricken. went Off to
Japan with John LaFarge and In the
East came into contact with the orr.
entail habit Of contemplation of the
enigma Of life and death. That idea
Saint Gaudens represented In bronze.
and mankind is indebted to him and
TO Adams for an enduring masterpiece.

Normal Human Instinct
for Beauty in Clothes

One reason why clothes, or ut least
the clothes of men, excite so little In
terest is that they have become drab,
and this drabness is excused on the
ground that clothes are meant to be
useful and comfortable; and useful
ness and comfort have ceased to be
associated with beauty In modern life.
Neither reason, of course. Is true.
Clothes are worn to enhance human
dignity, and. at bottom. only such
comfort Is wanted as shall not inter
fere with the prevailing mode. The
women who starved and sliced them
selves in order to keep slim, who will
cripple their limbs with hobbled skirts
when these are the wear, and cruelty
their feet when pointed toes and high
heels are the fashion, display a normal
human instinct. Men have suffered
much and gladly to wear patent leath-
er shoes at garden parties In the
height Of summer, and have choked
themselves rapturously with tall, stiff
collars; and comfort means little to
them so long as they remain convinced

Opium in Commerce

Opium is the dried milky juice of
the unripe capsules of poppy which
for this product has been cultivated
through many centuries. Every spe-
cies of poppy is capable of yielding 1t
to a greater or less extent. Opium is
procured by making incisions in the
poppy head or capsule, taking care not
to penetrate Its cavity. The juice then
exudes In drops. and after being al

edges Of the inclson it is scraped Off

so he thought nothing OF feeding his

Of prominent citizen. So law was
passed against feeding Indian ponies
on private lawns and another one was
enacted saying that horses and veIi-
cles should not be parked on side
walks.

the palate. the uvula. 1t hangs down
from the soft palate as a bunch of
grapes would hang between two leaves.

picturesque ruins in France today. 1t
u between Rouen and Paris and was
built BY the English king. who Is said
70 have been his own architect. It
was erected In one year. with walls
II feet thick. Richard called It his
"Sauey Castle" as It was built In def
ance Of Philip Augustus, king Of
France.
When the French king saw 1t he
vowed, II will take 1t. were It made

Richard died in 1199 and Philip
took the castle BY siege. but the gar.
risOn surrendered only at the point
of starvation. Henry v Of England
retook the castle after a siege of 10
months. when the ropes were worn
out with which the besieged drew wa
ter from the well. The castle was con-
sidered the best specimen Of military
architecture In Europe.
''Saucy Castle" remained intact

Alleges That Insects
a Are Menace to World


Insects are conqgering in mass at
tack on humanity. This is the view
Of A. Moore Hogarth, chairman of the
College Of Pestology, London, England,
who has made life study Of insects.
insects are establishing such
stronghold that one day man will
wake up to find that he has met his
MASTER" Mr.. Hogarth said. "The
trouble is that men in their ignorance
take no well organized steps to fight
the insect menace, and they don't real
lie that insects have brains. Before
the war mosquitoes were unknown in
England Today every fourth or fifth
person has been bitten by one.
Il am not a scaremonger. That emil
/ nent scientist, Sir Oliver Lodge, for
example, has said that the end of the
world will not be caused by such a
calamity as an earthquake or flood, but
by the ascendancy of the insect world
over man.
"Some supplemented local authori-
ties imagine that they are destroying
mosquitoes when they solemnly spray
ponds with paraffin. In their ignorance
they leave alone large tracts Of ground
where mosquitoes breed in shoals. AS
for cockroaches there are cases where
you could not get them out Of build
ing without pulling it down.
"Why are insects defeating man?
Because all of their brains are devot-
ed to the main things of life, to salts
flying hunger and the welfare of the
species, while mans brain is dlssi-
pated In various other interests"

Million "Plunks" Makes

y A million dollars spread over sew
enty years Of mans life accom-
plishes one great good at least 1t
spares him from an immense amount
Of anxiety. 1t is ammunition in his
arsenal against care. Serenity, some
philosophers think, is the greatest
good. They have secured it, but at
the sacrifice Of everything else. They
have usually been lonely and impecu-
NOUS hermits.
One cannot imagine much serenity
or even personal comfort without
money. Now, take a million dollars,
and If you don't court trouble by
trying to increase it, 1t drives away
most mental distress and brightens
every hour Of the day. We do not
adore wealth, but we understand its
Importance. 1t is worth while not to
be bothered by the vicissitudes of life,
