Enlarged housing facilities have
been added, and eight new cottages

be an even greater number present at
next years meeting, for which ample
provision will be made.

Carnival Dance
Nets Fifty Dollars

Financially and socially the carnival
dance wednesday evening of last
week proved a complete success. Spon-
sored by the girls of the Junior Ortho
pedic Guild the dance netted $50
which will be given to the Orthopedic
hospital
The good floor Of the Island Club
the poppy music furnished by the
Penny orchestra proved too much for
many Of the bridge players who de-
serted the tables to dance. Fortune
telling by the unfallible Rah Lu also
lured many patrons and much silver.
During intermission the girls served
delicious refreshments At this time
JOY Billingsley, accompanied by her
sister, Miss Lucy Ann, presented a
beautiful dance which all enjoyed
greatly.
The girls are deeply appreciative of
the manner in which the public re-
sponded to their first attempt of this
nature, and wish to thank each and
everyone who in anyway contributed
to the success of the carnival dance.

HUGE CONTRACT FOR ICE CREAM


Since the proof of the pudding is
in the eating" the fact that Seattle
school children are served through
school lunches 10000 gallon of ice
cream during the school year must
prove that those who determine what
the children shall eat consider ice
cream pretty good eating.
Last Friday p s. Pettelle secured
for his company contract to provide
10000 gallons of ice cream during the
coming school year. This contract
was awarded on competitive bid and
Mr.. Pettelle outguessed his nearest
competitor on the narrow margin of

CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
VISITS vAsHON ISLAND

On Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. John r
McCutcheon, of Steilacoom, visited
the Island Mr.. McCutcheon has an
nounced his candidacy on the Re
publican ticket for congress from the
new Sixth District, of which vashon
Island is now part. He has made
an excellent record as assistant U. 8.
attorney in Tacoma, and must have
the honest regard Of large number
of voters, for at the last. election,
when he ran against Albert johnson
he carried Pierce County by more
than 10000 votes.
The McCutcheons have lived in
Steilacoom for a number of years
where Mr.. McCutcheon has served
several terms as mayor of the town.
He is not an advocate of the "spoils
system" and those who were in APP
pointive office when he became mayor
were allowed to continue as though
there had been no change in admin
istration.
The McCutcheon have three chill
dren, whom they are rearing in a
thoughtful manner that is not COM
mon these days, and the only objec-
ton that Mrs. McCutcheon has to her
husband entering the congressional
race is that 1t will take him too much
away from his family.
Mr.. McCutcheon feels that in the
coming election the economic qIes-
ton will be the dominant one, with
prohibition coming as close second.
Like others, in a position to judge he
feels that almost anything is liable to
happen politically; that old party
lines will have little effect; and that
in the event of certain nominations
on the Democratic ticket there is no
positive assurance that the nation will
continue with a Republican admin
istration.
Mr.. McCutcheon is relying on the
support of his constituency not on
the strength of his promises for the
future so much as on his record OF
past performance in the office of the
U. S. attorney at Tacoma.
