/ society is returning TO Central
park in increasing numbers. The
socially elect are returning on roll
er skates. Nowadays observers may
note members of the Junior league
gliding over the long asphalt stretch
on the Mall on roller skates along
with youngsters from the tenements,
matrons listed in the Social Regis
ter, and ice men. Celebrities of
the stage and screen also go to the
park to skate.
In the days when New York was
little old New York, the Mall was
merely a grassy plain and was a
popular strolling place on Sunday
afternoons. A band concert then
was the most diverting feature. In.

held on Sunday on the Mall during
the summer season and Edwin
Frankie Goldman. band leader. wrote
march by that name. which is al
ways popular with his audiences. In
the old days of the quiet strolls, he
was merely a cornet player in the
band that delighted the old New
Workers.
Back in those quiet old days. it
was quite the thing TO go driving
in the park in the afternoon. Then
the socially elect travelled the wind

their carriages and other smart
equipages, with sedate coachmen
and frozen-faced footmen as attend
ants When the automobile first
came along. it so agitated The horses
that cars were barred from the
park. Now the motor car is in pos
session. with only occasionally car
riage, the occupant of which is usu-

4cHECKMATE

Almost constantly the papers of the north
west are filled with stories Of possible develop
ments on the Columbia river. Many plans have
been formulated for the development of the po-
tential power, but the trouble seems to be that
there are too many plans. When group starts
agitation for one project, another group comes
forward with claims for better project.
The latest plan for the Couee dam was ex-
planned by Senator Dill recently. He stated that
it would be possible to build dam about one-haf
as high as that formerly planned at the foot Of
the Grand Coulee, thus generating sufficient pow
er to bring in quite bit of revenue for the pro
ject, and getting the scheme underway.
ALI seemed we'll for several days, and the back
ers of the Columbia Basin were most optimistic
until the Oregon congressional delegation stepped
forward with it's objections, showing the weak
points in the Washington plan and stressing
their own scheme for development Of the river.
And so, the Columbia river developmnt plan
continues to be the object of much argument Not
for quarter century, per haps, can anything def
mite be done in the way of public enterprise for
developing the tremendous potential power of the
Columbia river.

Both classes were subjected to d

was found that the sophomores had
a class average Of 90.7, and the Fresh

GARRECHT NOMINATED

Nomination of Francis A. Garrecht of Spokane
to the Federal judgeship of the Ninth Judicial
District is gratifying to the people of Washington
This position, held by the late Judge Rudkin, for
merly of Yakima, is considered as ''belonging'
to a qualified citizen of Washington
Judge Kenneth Macintosh was first nominated
to the position, but his nomination was rati
fed by the Senate. Mr. Garrecht, like Judge Mack
intosh, is native of Washington, and while
his career has never been marked by place
any bench, he is recognized as being highly quail
flied member of the legal profession.
Especially to the people of eastern Washington
is his nomination welcome, he has long been
known as an authority reclamation law.
While being recognized as an outstanding lead
er Of the Democratic party, his ideals of public
service have always been above partisan tinge

AN EXTRA HOUR

toned daylight saving time, it is probable that
others will have to follow suit in order to
themselves from confusion when dealing with out
side business houses.
Daylight saving time has few advantages for
farming community; in fact, it has more disadvan-
tages. For the urban centers there is some excuse
for the change, since it enables people working in
factories and stores to enjoy another hour of sun
shine each day.
Nothing is more confusing for state or dis
trict than the adoption Of two time schedules.
That is what is happening at the present time,
and, if the larger communities persist in their
attempts to adopt daylight saving time, the only
way out is for the state to make it uniform.

Auto Drivers Again
Warned to Inspect
Their Car Lights

The Washington State Patrol is in
tensifying its campaign against faulty
lighting equipment on Washington
automobiles and commercial vehicles
because of the increased traffic on the
highways.
Armed with new state act govern
ing such equipment, the patrol is ready
to clear the highways Of vehicles not
lighted in accordance with the new
statutes
In quoting the new state law, Chief
William Cole says, "Any officer having
reasonable grounds to believe that
headlights on a motor vehicle, while on
the public highways, project dazzling
or glazing light into the eyes Of an
operator of an approaching vehicle is
hereby authorized to test the lights to
ascertain whether such are in proper
adjustment. If the lights are found
to be out Of adjustment, patrolmen are
to give motorists summons directing
them to have the headlights adjusted
and report such repair to the state
Failure to comply with such directions
will constitute a misdemeanor to OPP
crate vehicle until such adjustment
is made"
Chief Cole warns motorists to be sure
that auxiliary lighting equipment, such
as fog, spot or movable driving lights
comply with the new state laws before
they are purchased.
He said that his department was
anxious to give complete information
to commercial vehicle operators con-
corning the new laws requiring reflex
ref1ectors. Such laws include the carry
ing of rear red refectors in addition
to the tail light on all commercial
vehicles.
Two clearance lamps are to be used
| on the extreme left side of vehicles
| wider than 70 inches, one at the front
to be white and the rear one to be red
In addition to clearance lamps, this
type of vehicle must be equipped with
reflex reflectors conforming as to color
and marginal location. All vehicles ex-
ceeding 20 feet in length shall be
equipped with side marker lights or
ref1ectors on both the right and left
sides and visible to vehicles approach
ing at right angles Combination Of
vehicles shall use side marker lights
or ref1ectors- on both the right and
left sides at intervals of not to exceed
20 feet

PROSPERITY REGAINED7

They used to say, "When the farmer is pros
porous, the nation is prosperous" IL the phrase
can be accepted as literally true, then the nation
has once again regained prosperity.
From the low points of few months ago, farm
commodity prices have registered these percent
ages of gain:
Wheat, 100; corn, 81; wool, 81; lard, 40; butter
Al; sugar, 80; eggs, 18.
At the same time, the average level of whole
sale prices rose less than 10 per cent, and retail
prices substantially at the same point of the
after the-war period.
Apples and truck crops are not mentioned in
the percentages, but they have risen in line with
the trend, and if they stay there, then the farmer
can be assured of better times
