When the make believe smoke on

as the theoretical pawns are moved
about.
Under a War Department order, ap-
proved by President Roosevelt, it will
be the first time since the Civil War
that the whole military force will be
commanded by one man. Gen. Mac
Arthur will direct troops in the field

Gen. Washington in the Revolution
and Gen. Grant in the Civil War
held sole command of the Army.
Division of authority resulted in
dangerous lack of efficiency in the
War of 1912, the Mexican and Span

Office of chief of staff was established
to correct that.
In the World War, however, differ

Gems. March, Scott and Bliss, who
served as chiefs of staff, again made
the question of supreme command a
vital problem.

 Imagine bubbles in a war. ne'er could guess what they are for. How they are going to harm our enemy I cannot see."
 Well, I'll explain, the soldier snapped. "Our enemy son will be trapped amid alot of bubbles that have fioated through the air. And then. before they realize what's happened, they'll have soapy eyes. You will agree that's plenty to give anyone scare.' Gee whiz! That's clever as can be-" said Coppy.

Chorus of so Local Singers to
Present Musical at Methodist
Church Sunday; Proceeds for
Orthopedic Hospital

An Easter cantata, sponsored by
the Kennewick Kiwanis club, as a
hospital benefit, will be rendered at
tho Methodist church next Sunday
evening at the regular service hour.
The Schubert club, assisted by singers
from the churches of town, will pre-
sent aBright Easter Morning." under
the direction of Walter Stauffacher.
The cantata will number in all about
fifty voices.
In addition to the cantata, Homer
Siegfried, talented musician who has
RECENTLY become a citizen of our COM
munity, will be guest artist on the
program and will present Kramer's
"Great Awakening" Mr.. Siegfried
has an exceptionally well trained
voice and his singing will add greatly
to the enjoyment of the program.
A silver collection will be taken at
the church, the entire proceeds to be
sent to the Seattle Orthopedic hospi-
tai, as part of Benton County's con-
tribution to the operation of that
splendid institution. The Rotary club
Of Prosser has already made it's con-
tribution to the hospital, their money
being raised thru the cooperation of
the local theatre management, who
contributed a percentage of the re-
ceipts for three days.
The Kiwanis club of Kennewick
agreed to aid the project particularly
because of the fact that several Ben
ton County children have been treat
ed in the institution, and deformities
corrected. This district will still be
much in debt to the institution for the
work it has accomplished for our
children. A large attendance is look
ed for Sunday night and on account Of
the worthy object substantial coll
lection is anticipated.

FORMATION OF
PUBLIC UTILITY
DISTRICT URGED
Chamber Seeks Report on Pos
sibiIities When Petition Is
Circulated; Directors Given
Too Much Authority Feared

A report on the bill providing for
the formation of public utilities dis
tricts was made by DR.. p. D. Stone
at the regular meeting of the cham
Der of commerce this noon, the mat
ter having been turned over to his
committee for investigation last week.
Mr.. Stone gave the high lights Of
the bill which permit a district so
formed to engage in almost any line
Of business, levy taxes, create indebt-
edness, condemn private property, and
construct and operate industries, etc.
The action was taken as a result
of the circulation locally of petition
asking that the proposition be plac-
ed upon the ballot at the general cleo
ton this fall. A report on the pro-
visions Of the bill was asked by the
chamber to ascertain what attitude
the voters should take should the
proposition be submitted.
The bill seems, from the report, to
be too all-inclusive and give the COM
missioners who operate the district
too much latitude in the way of add
ing expenses to an already overburd-
ened commonwealth.
There was no discussion Of the bill
and no action was taken upon the ce-
port. Circulators of the petition adj
vance the theory that such a district
must be formed in order to take ad-
vantage of cheap power rates which
may become available when the gov
eminent begins to develop power from
the Coulee Dam project.
