EAST HAS WRONG
IMPRESSION OF US

Seattle and Pacific Northwest cam
not attract capital and population i'll
exactly the same manner California
has attracted them, suggests Ana
cortes (Wn) Mercury. Nothing OF
the same kind is ever done exactly
alike it comments, then presents this
very important suggestion: "The big
Job Of the Pacific Northwest Is to
overcome the impression in the East
that this is cold country because It
has north ,clzed onto its name. And
il is full of the kind Of trees shown
on Christmas cards, covered with
glistening snow. Maybe slogan con-
veving that idea could be invented"
Mercury states an important fact
highlites a thing most northwestern
ers haven't sensed in its real impor-
lance. Citizens here take for granted
that people over the United States
know that Washington and Oregon
and Idaho have salubrious climates.
They don't know any such thing. A
great majority have exactly the inn
preston pointed out in the editorial
quoted above-that Pacific North
west has an unusual amount of snow
and cold weather. Everything that is
possible should be done to correct the
erroneous and harmful impression
people of East and South have re-
garding the climate around here.

SAYS NO PROFESSION CON-
PARES WITH HOME-MAKING

mo business is more prominent
ly a woman's field than that of
feeding people. The more highly
technical and specialized the field,
the greater need for broad founda-
ton. The demand is far in excess
Of the supply Of competant women
to fill such POSITIONS" declares Flor
ence Harrison, dean of the State
College division of home economics.
sNo profession can compare with
homemaking and its possibilities for
the Improvement of the race, phys
ically, mentally, and morally. Its study
is interesting, profitable, and even
of broadening and cultural value. The
average girl of today should be pre-
pared for two careers; first, the man
agement of her home and then the
profession which occupies her time
before marriage. The home economics
course prepares for profession and
at the same time for home life. When
we consider that more than ninety
per cent of the young women OF today
go into their own homes, we can be-
gin to realize the value Of thorough
meaningful training"

NITROGEN AND HUMAs
SUPPLY

Manv farmers, particularly in the
area Of lighter soils of the county, have
remarked about the apparent lnablll-
ty to add much humas to soils OF this
type. Recently there has been dis
covered a characterization between the
nitrogen and carbon supply in soil.
Hurnas is formed from plant and ami
NAL products, and is largely COM
posed of carbon. The ratio that exists
between the nitrogen and carbon
supply is about one to ten on the
average, that is, hunas will be main
tanned in the soil only when there is
sufficient supply of nitrogen in the
soil to be conductive to the retaining
of the organic matter which may be
plowed or disked in. When nitrogen
is not available this organic material
then breaks down readily and the car
bon passes into the air as carbon
dioxide, Just the same as the carbon
of wood passes into air forming car
, bon dioxide when the wood is burned.
In other words we can think of the
organic material as being rapidly
burned in our soil when there is not
a supply of nitrogen to combine
| With 1t ana nOlQ IL.
We are going to suggest that
those who are turning down cover
crops or ploughing under manures,
apply reasonable amount of nitro
gen to the soil following the working
the organic matter into the soil. We
would suggest that this be done on
at least a small strip and results noted
for year and if the grower then
notices an improvement in the humas
supply the program can be expanded.
We know, without any question OF
doubt, that most Of our soils are
deficient in nitrogen; $50 to ESQ
pounds of ammonium sulphate to the
acre should not be too heavy an APP
plication.

HAPPY new YEAR!

So this is 1881! Let us welcome
the stranger and hope that he may
bring to us, as Nation, richer gifts
than did poor old 1880, who was
bit niggardly with his economic bless
ings, comments the Public Health
League of Washington.
1t !. in a period of depression that
the advantages of physical well-being
are most evident. For instance, in
the matter of employment, health is
an asset. Is it not apparent that, with
several applicants for every available
Job, the work will be given to the
man or woman who appears to be
physically able to handle it? Old Man
Business does not want to add to
his cost-sheets the expense of caring
for sick employees.
1t is estimated that the annual
cost of sickness in the United States
is almost ten BILLION dollars, and
that ONE HALF is PREVEN-
TABLE. If we were all to work to-
gether to prevent this unnecessary
illness and divert the five billions to
a constructive program, we would be
contributing immensely to the pros
perity and rehabilitation of our Ma
ton.
This is above all an individual re-
sponsibility. No person, no group and
no law can force you to take care Of
your health. But you, your family,
your community and your state suf-
fer if you do not do so.
Suppose you make the ONE resolu-
toni will have health exanina-
ton at once. If I find I have perfect
health, I will endeavor to retain it;
if any weakness or defects are dis
covered, shall do my utmost to cor
rect them.
And let us make 1881 HEALTH

School Notes
BY Students

Oh Dearll! Here we were all ready
to go to Benton City Friday night
with our whole turnbling show and we
received a telephone call from Super
intendent Roop stating that thru some
oversight there had been a mixture
of dates at theirs school and would
we not feel too badly If he
asked us- to postpone our trip to
some future time. Of course, being
gentlemen and ladies', we decided
that we would do as he asked. Il
seems that there had been invitations
issued to about q couple Of hundred
people to visit their Domestic Sci
ence Department and have tea or
something more filling, with the en-
tire school, and the datss had becorr
mixed. SO we will go down to that
fair city some time in the future.
Every time a teacher looks at a
pupil these days, the pupils nose
goes deeper into book, for this is
the week of the semester examina-
tons. Won't it be nice when they
are over and the work on the new
semester starts and last but not
least we will know what our grades
are.

Famed
Artist, Hero
Or Play

Mr.. Whistler" which will be
presented at the National Theater
the week beginning Monday, De.
cember 2 by Laurence Rivers, Inc,
is written by Pauline Hopkins,
Sarah Curry, and A. e. Thomas.
It concerns episodes in the life
of James Mcneil Whistler, the
American artist, who was a ro'
mantle figure during the Vic
torian period: he was famous,
during his life, for the shafts
of wit that he delivered; for his
contempt-So forcefully expressed
in "The Gentle Art Of Making
Enemies"-for art critics and the
art schools of his day.
The play, naturally, because of
the period, is a costume play.
There are two sets, representing
the studio and drawing room in
a house that Whistler occupied
in the Chelsea district of London.
The play treats of a romance
in Mr.. WhiStler's life and contains
in it's dialogue many Of the crisp
and pithy PHILOSOPHERS with their
characteristic Whistler sting; and
incidents for which he is famously
known are handled in sequence
that present an evening OF de-
lightful comedy, drama, and love
interest.

She Got the Job
By Superior
Acting

Though the question in the
theater, as elsewhere at the mo-
ment, is how to get any sort of o
job, some jobs fit the players SO
superlatively as to constitute
minor miracles in casting, and
the playgoers may juStifiably
wonder which came first, the
part or the actor, the chicken,
so to speak, or the egg.
Miss Mary Philips, for instance,
who gives such a touching per-
Torrance as "Jennifer'' in 1.-The
House Beautiful" coming to the
Belasco Theater December T.,
would probably have been the
last person in the authors mind,
if she had been in his mind at
all. She wasn't.
But she was in his card index,
filed away by force o. habit Chan
ming Pollock developed long ago
on making notes of players he
had seen. He had seen her in
"The Wisdom Tooth" at the Little
Theater, New York, five years
ago and duly set her Gown with
hundreds of unremembered others.
And like all such anecdotes,
this ends with the inevitable post
script, she got the job.

Charles Irwin Served

Humor gathered in all parts Of

Irwin, in Fanchon and Marcos

at the Fox Theater.
Born in Ireland, he wandered
all over the Orient as captain in
the British army, gathering, anec-
dotes and humorous quips in far
ports.
Educated in Irish universities,
Irwin brings a superior type OF
act to the vaudeville stage. It
usually puzzles audiences for a
minute or two; then they realize
that this seemingly professorish
person is simply spoofing.

She Stuck to Stage

Eventually mamma died. And
what do you think the girl did?
Got a Job in an office and left
the stage forever? Not at all.
She went on in precisely the
same fashion as she had been
doing before mamma passed out
Of the picture. She stuck to the
stage.
Now it SO happens that Flor
rie was no second Bernhardt nor
even a second Mae West. Her
work was conscientious but
hardly inspired. OcC asionaIly
she played a stock engagement:
occasionally she went out with
an act. She wasn't a bad-look-
ing wench, and in the course of
her travels she. met plenty of
males who were willing to share
their homes with her.
But FIorrie was pretty Cagy
In that direction. She was still
looking, for security, peace, a
home and that big tree when
the time rolled around.

She Meets George

She met George. There's only
one word to describe George.
He was mice" He thought he
was quite the man-abouttown
because he took an actress to
supper every once in so often.
That was his only dissipation.
So maybe it served him right
when. after a short time, he
fell in love with Florrie.
George had a house. 1t had
been in his family for years,
mainly, I think, because they
could never get anyone to take
it of their hands. Now George
owned the place-and you can
see what he thought of it when
I tell you that he maintained
bachelor quarters in town and
never went near the house. But
the man must have sensed
something. For on the day he
proposed to her he took Florrie
to see the home.
That house settled the argu-
ment for Florrie. 1t had a
