"Have you lost your dog?" the occu-

But Al had taken matters into his

no room for doubt. The firemen, mean
while, were so busy welcoming Al that
the auto drove on before they remem-
bered to ask their benefactor's name
and address, or where he found AL.
AL was nicely washed and brushed,
and scar on his face, of mysterious
origin, had been medically treated when
he was returned. In view Of the fact
that this Is his first ofTense, 1t is not

IDLE INSURANCE
HEARINGS SET

Public hearing on unemploy.
ment insurance will be started at
q special Senate committee meet
ing March 81, it was announced
today.
The hearings, which will be
held at the Capitol, are expected
to last for several weeks, and in
tended to develop all the facts re-
lating to unemployment insurance
systems in use in private plants
here and those operated by for
elgn governments.
The committee conducting the
inquiry consists of Senator He.
bert (RO of Rhode Island; Sena-
tor Wagner CD, New York, and
Senator Glenn CR0, Illinois. Sen
ator Hebert is chairman of the
special committee.
Since the choice Of Senator
Hebert to be chairman was an
nounced a few days ago, there
has been considerable speculation
as to why Senator Wagner was
not named to head the committee.
It has been intimated that
wagner was denied the place be-
cause he is a Democrat, although
he is the author of the resolution.
Vigorous denial there was any
politics in the selection of Hebert
as chairman was made at the
Capitol today.

The ships, the Spanish Prince

shield the harbor from direct tor

BY moving them, the present

Win from Mabton Sunday in Good
Contest-Still a Chance at
First Position

On Declaration Day the Kolts
beat combination team from
Hanford and White Bluffs by a
score of 10 to 10. It was a bat
fest on both sides, with the Kolts
the heaviest hitters. Warter, Lin
coin and Hudnall did the pitching
for Kennewick and Cords for the
White Bluffs team.
Sunday last the Kolts hied to
Mabton in a regular league game
and came home with the bacon by
a score of 9 to II. It was an easy
game for the Kolts, nothing spec
tacular, but plenty of hitting on
both sides. Beetles tossed the game
and when he caught a runner off
first, it was followed with the
usual Mabton kick.

ish plays Kennewick at Kenne-

FREE WHEELING is

New Selective Operation is Now
Available on New Cars in
Popular Line

Selective Free Wheeling is now
offered on all Hudson and Essex
models, as optional equipment, ac-
cording to A. M. Chellis, Of the
Twin City Motors. Cars equipped
with Selective Free Wheeling are
now ready for demonstration.
The adoption of Free Wheeling
by Hudson makes Essex the low
est price car offering this. new,
but now established, feature, with
Hudson maintaining its position
as the lowest priced eight.
While all of the basic princi-
pals of Free Wheeling as used in
the eostliest cars are retained in
every detail of the selective mech
anism, Hudson engineers have in
cluded several engineering adj
vancements and it is to these that
the term "Selective" has been APP
piled. The word, says Mr.. Chellis,
should be taken perfectly literally,
for the driver is able to enjoy the
fullest advantages of free wheel
ing or operate his car as stand
ard vehicle, whichever he desires,
by simply touching small lever.
