GIRLS BASKETBALL

y The girls basketball schedule
has been changed so that there
have been and will be several prac-
tice games before playing any of
the games on the regular sched-
ule. The game with Richland has
been postponed until after the
Christmas holidays. However dur
ing the past two weeks the girls
have had several practice work
outs, the first being at Two Riv-l
ers. Coach Precht took all the
girls who have been turning out
and gave them all chance to
play. Although the unofficial score
was not in Kennewick's favor and
the playing very ragged for the
most part, the next game with
Pasco showed much Improvement.
The Finley team came to. Kenne-
wick this week to give the local
girls some more competition be-
fore the first scheduled game with
Touchet which will be played here
Thursday night, December %.

PELHCANS HAVE BEEN TOO
LONG FIsHERMEN'S PETS
A discovery was made a short
time ago, says the Detroit News,
that many pelicans in Santa Mon
lea bay, California have never
learned to fish for their daily SUBJ
sistence For years the pouch
billed water birds have dozed
sleepily around the wharves and
fishing vessels and lived entirely
upon the fish proffered them by
generous fishermen
1t was not necessary for these
birds to skim the waves of the sea
in pursuit of schools Of fish and
make the beautiful dives SO at
tractive to observers; thus they
never learned the art. But con-
dition occurred that almost spell
ed finis for such a languorous mode
of living.
Rough seas drove the fist to
quieter and deeper waters. Fish
ermen failed to make the usual
catches and there was less food to
toss to the birds. Some cases were
found where birds had almost
starved to death. That the condi-
ton was caused by lack Of the
schooling is provided by the fact
that scores Of regular birds found
no difficulty in doing plenty Of
their own fishing.

PARIS, Sept, IA. -Dr. Paul Gar geloff paid with his life, at dawn today, for the assassination of Prsident Paul Doumear of France whom he killed on May while the President was attending a charity book sale.
 AS is the custom of France, with all condemned prisoners, Gargeloff was not notified until one-half hour before his execution that he was to be led to Madame Guillotine" and beheaded.
 As dawn slowly broke revealing thousands of morbidly curious, guards rushed Gargeloff from his cell to the block where the great knife hung nine feet overhead. Be- fore f1e hardly knew what it was all about, he was kneeling before the block, the knife descended and off dropped his head.
