weak, rather showing by a righteous
example, the road to better things.
The Smith family have the sincere
sympathy Of many friends who knew

only twenty three years of age at the
time of her death she had been hold
ing responsible position since the
age when most girls are still in schsG.
Her devotion to her work resulted in
injury to her health from which she
never recovered.
News of Lillian's death came as a
great shock to relatives and friends
to whom she had written of her i'm
proved condition, and 1t was hoped
that with the spring weather she
would be well enough 10 leave the
hospital. Death came without any
warning.
Funeral services held Tuesday after
noon from Mellinger's in Tacoma were
attended by large number of school,
mates and friends who had known

Governor Hartley
To Sign Road Bill

Word received here this week indi-
Gated that beyond doubt Gov. Hartley
would sign the bill giving to Vashon
Island 100000 for the improvement OF
the highway south Of Center. This,
together with the $4,000 already ap-
portioned to this section by the county
will be tidy sum with which to be-
gin the work OF giving to the South
End the roads they have waited so
long for. The exact location of the
road will be decided by the state en-
gineerlng department, but no matter
where IL is located 1t will be OF bene-
fit not to the South End alone, but to
the entire Island.
If the Island receives this 100000
appropriation from the state 1t will
owe a debt of gratitude to Archie Nc
Kinnon who has stood firm in our
interests. While great pressure was
brought to bear to place this money
in another section of the county Mr..
McKinnon opposed 1t so strongly that
1t was finally given to the Island. His
only regret was that we did not receive
the original 100000 mentioned in
House Bill 343.
According to Commissioner Brinton
paving will be possible If the property
owners of the southern part of the
Island wish to avail themselves of the
Donahue Act, but the decision will
have to be reached before the $780,
900 of county funds now available for
new construction is exhausted.

At Work To Secure
Funds For Library

Approaching the good work of the
vashon Island Woman's Club in
maintaining a public library at Bur-
ton the ews-Record feels that it is
indeed pleasure to be able to work
in conjunction with that organization
in securing funds to carry on the
good work. A committee of women
will soon begin to solicit for not only
new subscriptions, but for renewals as
well. From all moneys turned in they
will deduct a certain percentage which
will go into the library fund.
For a number of years these earn
est workers have spent good many
hours each summer baking cakes and
cookies and other good things which
were converted into funds for the
library. Summer campers, who largely
avail themselves of the good reading
were glad not only to enjoy the good
food prepared by the matchless cooks
belonging to the Womans Club, but
pleased to help in this manner to
llclp lildillUdlll Ollc uUldly, FeelltlS
that the busy housewives could live
happily, even though they did not
produce cakes for public consumption,
the committee accepted the offer
made them to work with the News
Record for the mutual benefit of all
concerned. BY giving to them your
renewal, even though it should not
be due just. at this particular time
you will in this way be contributing
to mighty fine project, the only
library on the Island.
We do not feel that we are out OF
order expressing our deep appreciation
Of the cooperation that has been &C
corded the paper by the Vashon Is
land Woman's Club. 1t is indeed a
pleasure to thus definitely identify
ourselves with this organization and
the valuable work they are doing

Vashon Island Nav
Secure Field Station

According TO letters recently received
by Alex Stewart from Rep. Lin H.,
Hadley consideration is being given by
the U. S, Bureau of Plant Industry of
the Department of Agriculture TO the
establishment on Vashon Island Of a
field station for bulb investigation.
This would be- on small scale similar
to the farm at Bellingham conducted
by the government, Soil conditions on
the Island make possible the success
full growing of lilies to degree i'm
possible on the Bellingham farm. This
fact has led to extensive investiga-
ton by various representatives from
the government experiment farm at
Bellingham, and on their reports the
wisdom of such a farm on the Island
for the growing of lilies has been de-
termined Already there is on avail
able fund for the purchase and estab-
lishment of such field station, so
it would require no new appropria-
ton.
Those who have visited the tulip
fields of Bellingham, and know how
this industry has been developed by
the influence of the government farm
there can realize just what similar
project would mean TO the Island.
Bellingham has been favorably adj
vertised all over the United States
through the government station there,
and needless to say our Island would
receive proportionate advertising, and
many would come here TO visit such
a station.
Mr.. Hadley is now in Washington, a
member of commission dealing with
the subject of universal mobilization
Of national resources in time of war,
with view to eliminating war profits.
Hearings will be in progress, probably
till late spring.
Under the new apportionment of
representation Mr. Hadley will not be
our local representative, but this will
not prevent his working to secure the
field station for bulb experimentation

Language

The evolution of q distinct
radio vernacular within the stu.
dios proceeds with remarkable
and picturesque effect. Last
week we picked at random some
Of the more expressive and anus
ing homemade nouns Of the

borrow and analyze haphazard

Perhaps some day we shall find
these in the dictionary:
"Jam"-USed by radio musi-
clans to describe taxing or i'm
provising a new hit with an en-
tire ensemble.
"Edge"-The beginning of a
melody.
CONAN out.of-date orches-
tral arrangement.
"Scrape"-The peculiar sliding
effect produced on guitar or a
trombone.
"Smear"-Peculiar lip pressure
on brasses to produce a blurring
effect.
"High-pocket"-A ritZy rendi-
ton Of an antiquated arrange
ment.
"Rickety.tick"-A lively or Ella
borated rendition of an old ar
rangement.
"Schmaltz"-A full, thick. le-
cato effort.
Noodle" and trill-
Ing on woodwinds.
"Kluhk"-The sliding opening
or closing, such as that produced
by Andy Sanella with the Lucky
Strike signature.
