 PIPE WILL BE LAID
Statement Regarding Bet terments Is Made to
 Chamber Commerce

 Must Not Recur
 The serious conditions arising from water shortages here this winter were commented on by him.
 'sWe are going to use every effort to get things in shape so such a situation will not recur. It must not be allowed to happen again." he declared.
 The company will. continue un- abated it's program of betterments to it's local property, he said. New pipe lines will be laid on both Second and Gold Streets, work to be done this summer He has or dered 1 400 feet of new cast iron pipe for additional mains. This pipe, he told the Chamber has a life of 12O years, saying, We are building for permanency."
 Freighting By Plane
 MT. Lewis gave the Chamber an interesting account of how a big gold dredge and power plant and other materials and equipment have been fregihted during the past year by airplanes from the coast of New Guinea to the interior without the loss of a single pound of freight. This dredge has been assembled and the 2,000-horsepower hydro electric plant installed and opera tions on a rich gold deposit will start in a few days.
 The interests carrying on the op- eration could probably be induced to look at promising mining prop critics in Alaska and use planes similarly here if necessary, he said

ARMY CROWN

Lieut.. Stanley K. Robinson took
a new grip on the massive H.

of the Army tennis champion
ship when he pounded out a four
set victory over the veteran Maj.
Robert Van Vliet, 2-6, 6-3,
1911, 90, in the finals yes
terday.
The match was marked by
brilliants rallies by both men.
Major Van Vliet's steadiness
brought him the first set as the
lieutenant strove desperately to
get his game functioning.
Finding that his back-court
game was not effective against
the calm, consistent game of Van
Vliet, Robinson took to the fore
court and after a bitter struggle
gained the second set.
The advantage flowed back and
forth in the third set, neither
player being able to put over the
cincher, until Robinson broke
Van Vliet's service in the twenty
fourth game.
The lieutenant came back
strong after a 10-minute inter
mission, and swept through the
deciding set in quick order.

Gently revived an industry that
promises to be a prominent part

The factory was located in the

makes his very good ink"
Howard Okie says:
"The slump subjected the red
ink factories to such a strain
that Washington banks we're be-
ing compelled to advise their
customers of the state Of their
accounts by telephone. 1 dug
up from the archives of the Old
Dominion Company a formula
for red ink, made up a bottle
and sent it to my bank. To
show its appreciation it sent me
three notices the next day, using
my ink to write them. Then 1

According to Mr.. Okie, the old
Paul Okie formula was good for
quill pens but not for the newer
types of steel and other kinds of
pen points. Mr.. Okie conducted
a long research for a perfect ink
that would be quick drying and
not corrosive. His discovery is
what is now known as Odomo
Record Ink. He reports that
three out of every five fountain
pens in Washington are filled
