talks given by Dr. Sawyer and M
Wayne Miller Of the Puyallup Expert
ment Station.
DR.. Sawyer spoke on diseases Of
poultry and their prevention, illustrate
ing his talk with lantern slides.
Mr. Miller spoke at some length on
q problem confronting and pussling
the up-to-date poultryman, namely
that Of getting away from wet litter.
He told Of the various experiments
which have been made at the station;
Of the errors and wrong conclusions
that resulted and the facts that have
been arrived at. He admitted that
the only way to insure dry litter was
by keeping the floor Of the chicken
house warm, and that up to date no
economical method for doing this had
been discovered

and Mr.. Miller, MI. svinth, assistant
to the county agent, gave a clear and
comprehensive review OF the situation
facing the chicken raiser today. While
he did not attempt to mitigate the
problems confronting them, and made

ment Of conditions, the facts and

A Special Levy OF
3 Mills To Be Asked

Voters at the school election, March
9Th, will be asked to pass special
levy OF 8 mills to be used for high
school purposes After much study
and discussion this decision was
reached at a meeting Of the high
school board last Thursday night.
The board had hoped, by drastically
reducing expenses, to avoid the neccs-
sity Of special levy this year. This
hope was dispelled by announcement
from the assessors office Of the fact
that property valuations for the COM
ing year are being cut is per cent.
According to the budget tentatively
adopted by the board, operating ex-
penses next year will be limited to
$23,5s0. Additional revenue will be
needed to pay warrant interest which
will amount to $4,000 and to pay
$4,000 debt remaining in the general
fund from the completion Of the high
school building. This makes the high
schoo! budget total s26,s62. Compared
to the budget Of $Sl,s45 for the present
year, this represents decrease Of
$49S3. Several factors combine to
make this saving possible. In the
first place straight cut of 10 percent
in salaries is contemplated. Then by
placing the smaller classes on an al
ternate-year basis, by combining Sec
tions and extending the school day,
1t will be possible to dispense with the
services of one teacher. In addition to
this, expenditures under the head of
capital OUTLAWS can be materially re-
duced this year. No new adoptions of
texts will be made and old texts will
be repaired thus saving the expense
of requirements.
A general campaign of economy in
the use of building supplies, electric
current and student supplies is being
carried on,
Below is an itemized copy of the
tentative budget Of expenditures for
next year:

High School Play
Well Received

sThe Romantic Age" three-act
play by A. A. Milne, was presented by
the junior class of the vashon Island
high school last Friday evening in the
school auditorium.
The plot Of the play centers Ground
the love story of modern girl,
Melisande, who believes that the
twentieth century has destroyed the
picturesque romances of the past ages.
Spurning an offer of marriage from a
too-prosaic young man, the heroine
finds the object Of her romantic
dreams il the person Of gallant
gentleman who enters her fathers
home at night. dressed in medieval
costume.
The next morning, the two young
people meet in the woods, and a
cuaint love scene ensues. Subsequent
developments in the plot disclose the
fact that the man had been on his!
way to fancy dress ball at the time
Of his meeting with Melisande. A
breakdown of his motor car had
marooned him at Melisande's home
that night. The revelation that her
hero Is also a modern business man
completes the young girls disillusion-
ment.
In the final act, the romantic girl
is brought to realization chat true
romance can exist among the COM
monplaces Of modern life as well as in
the adventurous days OF knights and
ladies'.
Sylvia Bcsonen rs Mesilande made
as completely romantic figure as
any lovely girl of today could, and
Donald Dunbar as the gallant lover,
certainly earned his spurs, in the
opinion of the audience. The role Of
tile rejected sutton, Bobby, was con
vinoingly played BY Palgrave Goats and
the efforts of Jane, acted BY Eleanor
Besll, to console him furnished the
theme for "a appealing secondary love
interest.
Margaret Clair portrayed excellent
" the character of Melisande's
mother querulous woman whose sole
Interests in life were diets, doctors,
and her daughter. Miss Clair has q
clear speaking voice and commend
able stage presence, and added to
these qualities sincerity that added
strength to her role. Ellsworth Good
win as her husband gave true pic
ture of the kind OF gentleman who
would marry woman Of that type.
Lorna Danielson appeared in the role
of maid
Perhaps the best bit Of acting In
the whole play was given by Ferguson
Beall in the part of Gentleman Susan,
a hobo philosopher. The impersona-
ton of a humorous old sage of the
roadside held real emotional appeal.
Sharing dramatic honors with Gentle
man Susan, Elsie Merry as Ern, the.
waif In the woods, used pantomime,
gesture, and facial expressions to
elevate trivial role to plane Of real
acting.
Donald Dunbar. representing the;
junior class nado curtain speech in
which he presented bouquet Of
flowers to Miss o'Mahony who directed
the students
The play was we'll attended, and the
gross receipts Of the evening were one
hundred and eight dollars.

Ms. Flora Pyle
Died Last Monday

tyle passed away AT ncr EiliSport
home after an illness Of more than Il
year. Thus closed long life, full OF
service to others.
Flora Morehouse was born in Union
City Michigan. March %, 1854. Hero
she grew up and on July 4, 1869, was
married to Oliver A. Lee. To this
union four children were born, three
Of whom died in infancy. Mr.. Lee
passed away at the age Of fifty-two
leaving his wife and son, Harry. The
devotion Of this mother and son con-
tinued TO the close Of the life of each
Of them.
In August, Of 1900, Mrs. Lee was
married In Battle Greek, Michigan, to
Cornelius Pyle. Mr.. and Mrs. Pyle,
after a few years spent in Battle
Creek came west to Seattle. In 1911
they came to the Island, living first
4 in8what is now the Dunlap place In
Paradise Valley. After short resi-
dence there they bought the old Ellis
port hotel, where they lived for two
years after which thay built the pres
ent Madrona Lodge, which they oper-
ated together until Mr.. Pyles' death, In
1925, and which Mrs. Pyle continued
to operate until two years ago, when
she moved to vashon.
In her work In the Lodge, Mrs. Pyle
came in contact with many patrons.
many of whom returned year after
gear largely because of her wonderful
personality. On the Island, too, she
possessed wide circle Of friends, who
sincerely grieved because of the Ill
health of her later years, and who
will miss her sadly. The great grief
Of Mrs. Pyles' life was the death OF
her son, Harry, who passed away al
most two years ago. Her bravery and
cheerful spirit has put to shame many
younger people who have had much
less to complain Ct than she, and her
life has been wonderful example fer
the many who have been privileged to
know and love her. Daring the last
years of her life, when forced to cease
serving others, and to accept the SER
vice of others, hars. PYLE has been the
object OF the tenderest care Of her
daughter-in-law, Angenette, and Mrs
Lees brother, Don Parker, who has
taken the place Of a son. During the
past winter Mr.. Parker has devoted
all Of his time to the comfort Of MS.
Pyle. seeing that she lacked nothing
that would add to her comfort. viii
Quick, a friend of many years, also
has devoted much of his time to this
dear soul who has been real mother
to him, 1t was on her account that
Mr.. Quick returned to the Island last
fall She possessed the love of many
others, who feel chat they have indeed
lost a dear one.
The last simple rites Of the Chris
tian Science church were performed,
on Wednesday at Madrona Lodge
scene Of her years of labor, in the
presence of the sincere friends who
came to pay their last tribute to a
remarkable woman. Cremation fol-
lowed.
Those who survive Mrs. Pyle are her
two granddaughter, Betty and Donna
Leg their mother, Mrs. Angenette
Lee, and nephew, Milo Mead, Of
.Renton, who was present at the
funeral.

Pasadena, Calf, Sept. 30.-(AP)-
Back from an 8,0O0-mile expedition
to observe the cosmic ray at varying
attitudes and ATTITUDES, DR.. Robert
A. Millikan, Nobel prize winner. Fri
day began a careful study Of the
valuable electroscope recordings OBJ
tanned.
The observations included airplane
flights to attitudes above 10000 feet at
March Field, Calf, Spokane, Wash,
and. The Pas, Man.. sounding balloon
tests at Glendale. N. DIX. and ground

A night squall at Lake Arrowhead in
the mountains east of here sank a
boat in which he had left a self-re-
cording electroscope. Flying Officer
r. c. Gordon was reported lost in
the first airplane flight at The Pas,
but was later found to have been
forced down on a nearby lake. At
Glendale high winds nearly defeated
his attempts to launch sounding bal
looms.
Aside from these difficulties the
observations were without incident
and DR.. Millikan said the results were
highly satisfactory"
With only preliminary study of
the recordings, he chung to his theory
the mysterious cosmic rays are waves,
similar to X-rays, and that they
strike protons and electrons from
atoms, imparting to some of them
energies as high as billion volts.
This theory was challenged by DR.
Arthur H. Compton, of the University
of Chicago, while DR.. Millikan was
making his tests. DR.. Compton SAID
his observations in the Arctic circle
indicated coSmic rays are electrons
He also reported high altitude obser-
vations in the mountains of Peru
showed the rays were more intensive
from 10 a. M. to p. M, than from
10 p. NJ. to 4 a. m.
DR.. Millikan said he could make no
definite statement until the study
OF his records is completed, but that
so far he had found nothing Ito

DIR. Millikan. working in coopera-

succeeded in launching one balloon
at Glendale. 1t carried a recording

attached to bring it to earth when the
balloon burst.
