Window cards are up, committees

for the carnival to be staged by the

The same carnival company will be

Pres. Tim Clark is silent on the

will be made with the proceeds Of the
carnival, but 1t is certain that 1t will
be used locally. The first carnival
paid for the fire truck; the second
carnival made the substantial pay

high school; the third carnival made
possible the street lights at vashon;
what the fourth one will pay for Is q

the oknnogan country to Salmon
Arms on Lake Shuslaup, fishing every
stream that looked as though it might
contain the willy trout. They were
moderately successful, althoug Ii
muddy water and swollen streams
made 1t hard to catch fish. The record
catch of the trip was made by Gus
Bacchus. Varying reports make it
hard to give real facts in the case.
The weight of the fish was reported
as being from three to thirty pounds,
Gus insisted that his catch was an
English pike, but after elaboration it
was decided that he had caught a
club. The party returned by way Of

Fraser rivers. The members of the
party were Tim and Guy Clark, Chas,

Tacoma Woman
Dies On Dock

After driving at breakneck speed
from Burton to the Tallequah dock,
in presumably race to reach Tacoma
before death overlook her Mrs. Bessie
Haskins, SO years of age, died just as
she drove her car onto the dock. Only
the presence of mind of her compan-
ion in the front seat prevented the
car from running off of the dock.
Mrs. Haskins, a successful realtor
and business woman, with number
of associates had spent the afternoon
with Miss Bell, who is spending the
summer at Burton beach. The oc-
casion was the retirement of Mrs
Haskins as president of the zonta
Club, an organization of business wo-
men of South Tacoma.
The party left Miss Bells home,
after a most happy time, to catch the
1880 boat at the South End. The
plan was for another car to lead and
Mrs. Haskins' car, with its five occu-
pants, to follow, but about half way
to the dock she suddenly increased her
speed and drove rapidly. Part way
down the steep hill at the South End
she snatched her hat off, and throw
ing it in the lap of her companion,
said, 81 can't make It," Without
slowing down descending the hill, and
staying on the road almost miracu-
lousy, as the car turned on to the
dock Mrs. Haskins slumped over the
wheel. The woman in the seat with
her, with great presence of mind, set
the emergency brake and stopped the
car before it crashed through the
railing.
Elmer Miller, driver for the Auto
Freight, went to the assistance of the
occupants Of the car, and realizing
that Mrs. Haskins was dying lifted her
into the back seat. The doctor, who
had been attending Mrs. Haskins for
some time met the ferry at Point De-
fiance. He stated that death had been
instantaneous, and that this was the
elimination Of previous serious at
tacks
Funeral services were held in Ia

 The criticisms, covering not only acting but scenery, lighting, cos tunes. directing and technical eff fects, are submitted to the student producers, who regard them as the reactions of typical audience and make such changes as seem advis- able before putting the play into professional production.
 There is no dearth of critics. In fact, they form select group in which there is an opening only when someone dies or--rarest of all

Legion Commission
 Studies Employment
To Meet at National Headquarters May l3 to Review X Work So Far Accomplished

1 upon a percentage of the 10000 posts reporting at this time. The
 employment work of the legion was initiated last winter along lines that
 Contemplated a continuance of the
 campaign until the national conven- tion, to be held in Detroit, Septem-
 Der 21-24, and complete reports
 have not yet been made although a
 continuous tabulation of reports that
 are made is kept at national head quarters, and efforts are being made
 to get as many reports from posts as possible before the commission
 meets May 13.
 This week national headquarters began issuing certificates of honor
 and patriot cards, handsomely en-
 graved, to the posts that have made recommendations for them. The certificate of honor is awarded by the post to business firms, or other lemployers, who have increased their paid personnel by ten per cent. or aided in an increase of employment generally to such an equivalent. in the estimation of the local legion post concerned. In some instances,
 notably Buffalo, N. r., this honor was extended to the mayor of the
 city for his personnal aid in gen.
 erally promoting work that would
 increase jobs for the idle. The legion
 post. itself, is eligible for this certi-
