TopSided Education

MANY a young man, or young
4V1 woman comes out of college
without ever learning what square
meal costs, not in money alone, but
in labor. Very few have an APP
preciative understanding of what it
takes to provide the sheer
necessities of life, much less the
luxuries.
Parents and teachers always
should remember that the big idea
is not to produce efficient gadgets
for a machine, but we'll balanced
human beings.
Man-made laws are of small con-
sequence to natural laws, and the
same is true of man-made con-
traptions.
We are overemphasizing the
value of those dewdads and gewgaws
which adorn the show-off side of
civilization, while paying scant at
tention to the stronger forces back
of it.

religious beliefs.
In closing, if the American peo-
pie turn him down on this score,
they deserve to lose their hard
earned savings in closed banks and
should turn to Rudy (Heigh-H oJ
Vallee to cheer them, which Mr..
President Hoover has suggested
he do.
Wonder why he doesn't enlist
Coolidge to tell the American peo-
pie some funny jokes to cheer them
up. And to think that Rudy Groom
ing a song will end the depression
and cheer up the thousands Of
Americans who are hungry, home
less, and discouraged! What an in
suit to the intelligence of the
American public!
And now, Mr.. Editor, I know you
are not in the habit of making any
apologies for any stands you take,
but in all fairness to the common
people I suggest that you square
yourself and for once admit you
made a mistake when you support
ed Hoover first and Smith second.

temperance. Of course, I mean
prohibition, but since so many peo-
pie associate the prohibition law
with murder and graft, I find it bet
ter to use the word temperance
while denouncing those who oppose
my views:
leave them no ground on which
decent people could stand. The
people must be either for or
against the prohibition law, and
those willing even to consent to a
referendum must be classed as wet
and opposed to temperance.
know that the "drys" have a
large majority, which a referendum
would prove, but If the vets were
even able to get a majority in a
referendum they could not change
the law, as it would take a wet ma
jority in thirty-six of the forty
eight states before the eighteenth
amendment could be repealed.
I know that alcohol is a narcotic
poison. OF course, / know that tea,
coffee and tobacco and many other
articles in general use also contain
poisons, but am opposed to the

Forget Fundamentals

Forget fundamentals
NUR children are learning too
~ much about games that can
be played on the ground and too
little about the ground itself.
They are getting an exalted idea
of skyscrapers, paved streets and
bright lights, while they know lit
tie about the sweat and toll re-
quired to produce and maintain
them.
Their idea of milk is a bottle
left at the apartment each morn
ing. They think of meat as a red,
cold substance which one buys at
the market
Their conception of flowers goes
little deeper than the odor and the
price per dozen.

BackdOOr Tariffs

While two Democratic presidential candidates
Governor Roosevelt of New York and Governor
Ritchie of Maryland, on Thursday were speaking
against the high tariff Democrats in congress were
trying to raise the tariff.
In attacking the high tariff, Roosevelt and Richie
were repeating the campaign arguments which the
public has come to expect from Democratic candi-
dates but which to be forgotten after the
didates get into Office.
The Democratic house, which just has written
an oil and coal tariff into the tax BILL elected
in 1880 on lower tariff campaign. Just as Presi-
dent Hoover and the Republicans violated their 1928
campaign pledges in enacting the Hawey-Smoot
monstrosity, so the Democrats today breaking
faith with the voters.
Now in the senate, Democrats trying to tack
on the tax bill additional tariff levies on lumber,
copper jute, manganese, huorspar, and other COM
modities.
If the Democrats succeed in making higher
tariff bill out of the revenue measure, it will mean
log rolling and long delay in passing the needed tax
law and in balancing the budget, and it will mean
further destruction of trade.
That would not be very promising start for the
Democratic presidential campaign.

FIRST DANCE OF
SEASON AT DoCKToN

Next Saturday night the first dance
Of the winter season will be given at
the Dockton hau with the same good
st,o4S good music and good time as
Ein Ed Woods orchestra will
t&nAY the music for the occasion.
While the Dockton dances are pub
lie dances in every respect they ex-
press in rather an unusual way the
spirit of Dockton which is one of
hospitality. They are so much more
family affairs than most dances, and
are attended by all ages, with parents
and children meeting and enjoying an
evening together on a common plane.
The hall at Dockton, with its excel
lent floor, is a community project
built entirely by volunteer labor. The
only costs were those for lumber
paint, etc. 1t is hard to find COM
munity as loyal and self sufficient as
Dockton, or more open hearted and
hospitable to their visitors than they
The committee has requested that
an invitation to attend and enjoy
these dances at Dockton be extended
to all residents of the Island.

D. A. R. Meeting
Well Attended

The D. A. R. met September 10th at
the home of Dr.. w. j. Jones and Miss
Parker, assisted by Mrs Butler as
hostesses. An impromptu reception
was enjoyed by large attendance
after the summer vacation, after which
luncheon was served at one o'clock.
The Society was called to order by
Regent Miss Parker with the usual
patriotic exercises. At the completion
of business, the year book was dis
tributed, and commented upon by Miss
Van De Vanter.
The general subject for the year will
be 1.-The Economic History and Pros
poets of the U. S." The first paper
on this subject was 1.-THE History of
American Women" compiled by Mrs
Couts of the Baltimore Society. This
was presented to the chapter by Mrs.
L. c. Beall, ST., and all enjoyed listen
ing to the reading of it by Mrs. Jones.
AS is well known the earliest per-
manent English settlement was estab-
lished in Jamestown in LOOT. Histor-
ians have had a great deal to say
about the forefathers of America but
comparatively little about the fore
mothers. The distinguished Alexis de
Tocquevelle after making tour of the
U. S. declared that the singular pros
perity and growing strength of the
American people ought mainly to be
attributed to the superiority of its
women. Not everyone realizes, for in
stance, that the foundation stone of
the great republic was successfully laid
only by the help of little company
OF women.
After request talks were responded
to by Mrs. Preston, Mrs, Whitfield,
Mrs. Parks, and Mrs. Black, the
Society adjourned until the october
meeting.

TEARING DOWN OLD DOCKS.

A crew of men working under the
direction of Thos. Blum, of the county
bridge and wharf department have be-
gun with the old Heights dock to tear
out the various old docks about the
Island that constitute not only an eye
sore but menace to venturesome
youngsters.
The list OF old docks to go include
Colvos, Cross Landing, Kingsbury,
Mileta, Maury, Fernheath, Portage,
Ellisport and Vashon Landing.
A part Of the piling and other lum-
Der can be salvaged by the county and
used or sold, but there is a certain
amount that while not useable for
construction work will make excellent
fire wood. This may be had by any
one desiring to haul 1t away. Those
wanting this luriber should call Red
1888 or see Mr.. Blum at one of the
docks being torn down.

How Vashon Island
And State Voted

In spite of an unusually heavy regis
tration, surprisingly few Island resi-
dents turned out to vote on Tues
day Of this week. This did not prevent
the most surprising election in the
memory Of the present generation of
voters on the Island.
A few weeks ago the Island was can
vassed to locate enough Democrats to
provide each precinct with COM
mitteeman, yet on Tuesday practically
as many Democratic ballots were call
ed for as Republican,
Undoubtedly many Republicans call
ed for Democratic ballots so that they
could vote for Homer T. Bone, who
received the largest number OF votes
Of any party candidate. Had Bone
remained with the party whose for
tunes he has heretofore shared 1t is
likely that the number of Democratic
ballots cast would have been less.
That the Island Republicans stuck
to conservative principals and were not
greatly concerned over the wet and
dry question was shown by the num-
Der of votes cast for Asbury.
Following is tabulation of the en-
tire Island vote, and 1t is interesting co
note that it corresponds in many re-
spects to the state wide vote.

The Vashon p T. A. met at the
grade school September 10, with Mrs.
Heath presiding About fifty mothers
and guests were present. Miss Jones'
5th and 9Th grade room won the BAN
ner contest for the largest number of
mothers attending.
Money for playground equipment
was appropriated. Mrs. Spalding,
chairman of the finance committee,
said that this year "a penny saved was
penny earned" and asked the
mothers to can their extra fruit and
vegetables and to add chicken OF
two to their flock for the hot lunches
A dinner for the parents and teachers
was planned, with Mrs. Godsey and
Mrs. Harmeling in charge, the date
to be announced later.
Mrs. Godsey reported that so fal
there appeared to be no cases of I'M
dernourishment among the children
and they all seemed to be provided
with adequate lunches.
Mrs. Metzenberg and Mrs. Gro.
nander acted as hostesses and served
refreshments. Fr

Plans Are Progressing
For Local kindergarten

The Kindergarten committee of the
Island Pre-school Association reports
that progress is being made on our
public Island kindergarten.
Members of the association can
vassed all districts on the Island this
week for elementary children whose
parents can and will pay a small
tuition fee each month.
The school district on the Island,
while in accord with the movement to
establish a kindergarten, are unable to
render financial assistance hence the
necessity of tuition fee, until next year,
when state money automatically be-
comes available, the amount OF which
is based on this years attendance.
The Kindergarten committee and
members of the Island pre-school
group have worked untiringly in their
efforts to add to the Islands already
fine school system and in their at
tempt to establish a public kinder
garten have met with fine spirit of
cooperation.
The transportation problem is all
that remains to be ironed out and with
the constant cooperation of every Is
land family the committee hopes soon
to be able to announce definitely the
opening date and other details.
If any with children Of kindergarten
age has been overlooked call Mrs. w.
G. Smith, Mrs. Angenette P. Lee, or
Mrs. Kenneth j. Van House.

VIRGINIA v WILL
CONTINUE SERVICE

1t was announced this week by Capt
N. G. Christensen that the Virginia "
would continue her present Sunday
schedule on the West Side as long as
the patronage received warranted.
While the present ferry schedules
have reduced the business of the West
Side boat 1t still renders real service
to many living on that side of the
Island, as well as to summer people
who found the Virginia v a real con-
yenience, as well as a pleasant means
of transportation.
