Dance Means Help
To The Suffering

The supper dance on New Years
Eve, sponsored by the Vashon Ortho-
pedic Auxiliary will be given to raise
funds for the named bed for the ninth
year. To those who took part In that
carnival In 1924 to raise money for
this purpose 1t seems almost incredible
that time has flown so quickly. The
first $3.50 for this purpose seemed like
rather gigantic undertaking, but as
the years have slipped by bringing
with them the fuller realization Of
the good accomplished to suffering
childhood which this Vashon Island
bed represents, the task has seemed
proportlonately less.
1t would be interesting to know Of
Just how many children have occupied
this bed; how many OF them were
permanently cured; what life will
have In store for those who are now
able to face the world strong and
whole, whereas they might have had
to be refused entrance to the Ortlio-
pedic Hospital had 1t not been for the
good work Of Island citizens. This is
one Of the little chapters In LIES his
tory that probably will never be writ
ten. Yet the very maintenance from
year to year of our named bed is proof
that the Island rarely looks back after
setting at a task.
The methods Of the vashon Ortho-
pedic Auxiliary for raising funds have
been numerous and varied. There
have been carnivals, waffle luncheons,
flower sales, dinners, dances and
whatnot. Many recall with tender
ness the generosity of the late L. g.
Beall, ST., who tempered his mercy
with justice and made the attendance
of the members at Sunday school one
of the conditions Of his numerous
gifts. 1t was one Of his happy little
jokes that everyone concerned under
stood.
The supper dance on Saturday eve
ming, December 31st will be the third
dance given to raise funds for the
named bed. This annual dance has
crpe to be looked upon almost as an
IsiMid institution. It is fine,
neighborly way OF watching the old
year out and the new in.
AS on previous occasions the New
Years dance will be given in the high
school auditorium. Finding that serv-
ing dinner was not feasible the COM
mittee was unanimously In favor of
giving supper dance instead Of the
cabaret dinner previously attempted.
There will be number of clever
specially acts presented during the
evenings festivities, good music, q
good supper, good fellowship-in short
the Orthopedic supper dance will be
Just another Of those typical all
Island affairs that are surpassed for
neighborliness in very few commune
ties. It will be fine way to end an
old year that has been rather sad and
to begin one that is, we hope, filled
with good things for all. And with
the good time we will have the added
satisfaction that 1t will mean an OPP
portunity given to unfortunate chill
dren.

Initiative ga viii
Effect High School

SChOOl authorities SCated peIOre tne
election that II Initiative "a passed II
would be impossible for Union high
schools to operate next year. Recent
ly Mr.. Robertson was interviewed by
q student reporter with respect to the
high schools prospects for next year,
to see II any encouraging fectors had
developed since the election to change
thic opinion.
Mr.. Robertson stated that, Assistant
Attorney General John A. Homer has
rendered an opinion that Initiative "a
will require pro rata reduction Of
nll levies now assessed against prop
erty under the mill limit law. The
existing state levy totaling 1927 mills
for the public schools and higher in
stitutions OF learning and other state
departments, must be cut to mills
each levy sharing proportionate part
Of the loss. The same reasoning APP
piles also to the county school and
county general levy limits
Our high school receives annually
about $4,000 from state and county
apportionment. According to Mr..
Anderson's ruling, our income from
these sources next year will not ex-
coed s4100. 1t is hoped, however, that
the new income tax law will with
stand attacks now being made upon
Its constitutionality. II 1t does, a por-
ton Of our loss may be restored from
this source.
Mr. Homer has not yet rendered an
opinion on whether or not union high
schools will be considered Independent
districts with power to levy ten mills
tax without vote Of the people, us
in the past. In case 1t Is decided
that both grades and high school In
union high school districts must oper-
ate under the 10 mill limitations, It
would be impossible to finance the
high school without the voting of a
special levy. In that event the high
school would not open until after the
election which, according to the law,
may not bs held until October 8. The
action Of the voters at that time would
determine whether or not high school
could be held. "a
This office received a phone call
from Prof. Robertson on Tuesday stat
ing that the attorney general had
rendered an opinion that Union high
schools like ours are without status
and that under the present state of
affairs 1t Is a case Of there just amt
such an animal" as a Union high
school.
: What will be the outcome is hard
to forecast but of course some pro-
vision will have to be made for high
school pupils Of sections like ours. 1t
would scarcely be economy to disband
our fine new building, not yet paid for.
and turn these students back to the
individual districts which they have
outgrown. Few of the parents Of
grammar school youngsters would be
willing to have the old status resumed.
There is to be meeting on Monday
evening in the office of the county
superintendent of principals and board
members of all Union high schools of
King county and we trust that Prof.
Robertson will have some cheering
news for us in time for next weeks
issue.

For January Linens

The wide damask panel through
the center. with an attractive
apple design, is in green or blue
or rose or gold. It's made OF
real crash linen and in size
52x52.
Pastel Rainbow
We found the smart bridge
cloth, Sketched below. It's
made of natural linen, with the
three inserted stripes in three
contrasting colors-a sort of
rainbow effect. You can get it
with blue and rose, and either
gold or green for the third
stripe. In the regulation bridge
size. 36 inches square. Though
it may be had in larger sizes,
too. There are a dozen nap
kins to match.
HemStitched Borders
Next we came to stacks of
that most frequently re-
plenished of all linens-towels.
And bobbing around the sea of
hand towels we saw boxed sets
of three linen crash ones. See
them in the little sketch?
They're white with hem
stitched borders-each in a
different color. Gold, green and
orchid; or gold, rose and blue
and the colorS are guaranteed
fast! In size they're II by So
inches.
We came across some more
lovely hand towels with hem
titched colored borders. But
this time the borders were
stripes of varying width. in
two colorS-green and gold, or
gold and green or red and
blue. You'll see them in the
second small sketch.
Kitchen News
At last there's really some
thing doing in kitchen glass
towels! Stripes and plaids-aS
different and new as 1882.
And very gay they are with
two contrasting colors, in the
design against the white
ground. The ones in the last
illustration are made of real
linen.
Also very new and most un-
usual are the other two linen
glass towels, sketched closely.
The one with two glasses and
a shaker woven in a center
stripe is very lively. The other

The basic articles of diet for
the younger children are also
the staples for the child from
five to seven. Milk, cereals,
eggs, green vegetables and
fruits should predominant in
the diet. Sweets and pastries
and all starchy and vitamin-
less foods should be kept in
the background.
Meat may be added grad
ually and slowly to the diet.
Meat is rather like sugar in
that it spoils the appetite for
other and more valuable foods.
Nor is it as complete or eco
nomic food as other things.
Bread and milk contain more
easily available calcium and
other salts and vitamins. But
some meat should be added to
the growing child's diet. AS
we grow older, up to so, meat
becomes more and more a de-
Slraple element or the diet.
With schooling started and a
regular schedule of work each
working day, the dietary will
have to conform to these neces-
stiles.
The time schedule is now the
same as the adultS-three meals
a day. The general plan of the
dietary may be the same, al
lowing the child to partake of
what its elders eat. Milk, how
ever, should still be a staple
part of the child's diet. The
period of infancy when the di-
geStive tract was easily upset
is over. Growth processes have
been established and dietary
errors are not so rapidly or GER
tainly followed by retribution.

w were not using an open
ing 2-Club bid as a demand
that partner respond. z was not
strong enough to force his part
ner to bid. His opening bid of 2
Clubs was only a semi-demand
declaration. A passed well salts
fled to let 2 have the contract.
Y bid 3-DiamCnds, as a slam in
vitation. He had seven practi-
cally certain tricks, and his
partner had stated that he
could win at least seven tricks,
provided clubs were to be
trumps. B wedged in bid OF
3-Spades. 2 shifted into 4-Hearts.
A bid 4-Spades. Y bid 5-Dla-
monds, intending to score $50
points for honorS, provided his
partner could stand a diamond
make. Aftel Y'S display of great
suit strength, z showed no
spade losers, by bidding D.
Spades, leaving it to his part
ner to decide whether a small
slam or grand slam should
be the final contract. Now. GER
tain that 2 held tops in both
clubs and hearts, Y ended con-
tracing with diamonds.
The hands did not permit
spreading the cards. They had
to be played. B could not afford
to lay down his Ace of Spades
when - had announced his
hand void of the suit. Because
z had shown hearts secondarily,
it appeared to 3 that might be
his best lead, and he led the
top card c. his three hearts.
The Ace won the trick in dunn
my, and Y trumped a return
lead of a low heart. A spade
was led by Y, and trumped in
dummy.
A third lead of hearts was
made from dummy, and trumped
by the declarer. Another spade
was returned by Y and
trumped with rs last diamond.
When a fourth lead of hearts
was made from dummy, the
declarer felt that he had to
ruff with his 10. AS last heart
fell, leaving one good heart in
dummy upon which to discard
US losing spade. The declarer
had only to take three rounds
of trumps to pull all opposing
cards of the suit. The last
four tricks were won by
dummy's two top clubs, its
good heart, and US last trump.
Y won his grand slam without
difficulty. but would another
lead have defeated the con-
tract? That question was
raised after the score had
been made.
Instead of an opening lead
of a heart, which insured full
fillment of the contract, B
might have led either his top
spade, his singleton club or
a diamond. Laying down BIS
ace of spades would have made
it easier for Y to fulfill his
contract, because z could then
have trumped two spade leads,
leaving Y's K established, and
not requiring the declarer to
establish one heart upon which
he could discard a spade. A
lead of BIS lone club would
not have altered US chances to
make his grand slam. He still
could ruff two spades and dis
card his third spade upon an
established heart in dummy.
But an opening lead of trump
would have defeated the con-
tract, because dummy could
ruff only one spade, and no
way exists of discarding two
spades upon establishable cards
in rs hand. u
