LEGION BACKS
MOVE TO TEST
AT SOAP LAKE
Only Known Cure for the
Dread Buergers Disease to-
Be Given Thoro Investiga-
ton.

The American Legion Of Wash
ington is to make a determined
fight to secure an appropriation of
$25, 900 for one years exhaustive
test of the benefits of, the treat
ment OF Burgers disease at Soap
Lake, Washington. Ten thousand
dollars was appropriated for this
project in the independent offices
appropriation bill and the Congress
will not raise the amount to $685.
900, until the veterans administers
ton has made use of that $4,000.
The veterans administration re-
fuses to make anything but a half
hearted test with only a few vet
Grams sent to Soap Lake and no
worthwhile provision for supervis-
ion of treatment. General Hines,
director, and other officers of the
veterans administration cannot be
convinced of the qualities of the
water of Soap Lake to arrest this
terrible disease.
According to Commander Stone
of Robert w. Ely Post No. SO, Ed
mund T. Brigham, of Newport, de-
partment chairman for the legion
of the Burgers committee, is ask
ing and urging that all legion
members, and interested persons
write to General Hines urging him
ito requeset an appropriation of
$4,000 and to make thoroughly
exhaustive test of the Soap Lake
waters treatment. Department |
Commander Homer Jones in let |
ter to Commander Stone, in part
says, "the only spot in the world
where this dread disease can be ar
rested, and the government doctors
denounce it as quack." He furth-
er says, "It seems to me that the
people of Washington should let
the whole wide world know Of this
wonderful curative water they
have at Soap Lake."

Kiwanis Octette Makes
Hit at Walla Walla

The Kiwanis octette is rapidly
making a name for itself, having
been one of the main features on
the program at Walla Walla yes

N. B. ROAD is
LEFT OUT OF
STATES PLANS
Sen. Stinson Says Code is
Compromise; Benton to Get
More Road Money; County
to Do Work

In spite of the bill introduced in
the senate to have the North Bank
road from Maryhill to Kennewick
put on the states primary high
way system, the road still remains
in its secondary category, accord
ing to report made this noon to
the chamber of commerce by Sen.
C. S. Stinson of aPsco.
"The highway code submitted
by the administration made a pile
of papers so high that it took leg
islature fifty days to wade thru
it." Mr.. Stinson said. 1.-THE final
action on the bill was a compro-
mise, and in the compromise not
a single mile of new road was add
ed to the states system"
Under the bill as enacted, he
explained, three of the five cent
per gallon gas tax will revert to
the counties to be spent by t he
commissioners, ALLEGATION of tn e
funds being made on the basis of
the general road and bridge levy
as of three years ago. This will
givenBenton county a much great
er amount of road money than we
have ever had before, Stinson said.
Because of lack of adequate
equipment, experience and person
nell, cities and counties were not
in nearly as good shape to handle
highway work as the state could,
were the arguments which were
being used to urge the passage of
the administration code. Highway
Director Murrow also gave as an
added reason for not doing any fur
ther work on this end of the road,
that more money was now being
spent on the road, further down the
river, than on any other trans
state road.

"We visited the Fox studio and
watched Gilbert Roland shoot a

eral very interesting sets, we had
our picture taken with "Gilbert"
and is he dark and harsome and
hard and cruel and pansy? And
Howl
"Then drove to Universal City
for lunch. The food was fierce, but
the presence of Lyle Talbot, Rich-
ard Barthelmess, Boris Klrloff,
Spencer Charles, etc. made our
heads swim. However there are
other things which made our
hearts swim-and he surely did.
1--WE two from Kennewick and two
other girls succeeded in getting an
autograph from Boris Karloff.l
He was dark and tempting and !
felt like / had known him all my
life 49,"
Miss Mueller gave a number Of

cisco, about the big park there,
about the vast orange groves, Ball
boa park and the preparations be-
ing made for the Forthcoming

handsome Don whose picture s..e
brought back with her from his

FOR A TOM CODE
BUT TURN DOWN
BERRY CONTROL
Melon and Tomato Growers in
Favor of Acreage Control,
But Local Growers Pass up
Deal for Berries

About 90 tomato and melon
growers in the Kennewick and Pas
co districts have voted on an acre
age basis in favor of the code,
while on a man-to-man vote the
proposition was very close. No
official tabulation can be given at
this time, according to Guy Story,
who is one Of the members of the
acreage quota committee, which
met this week.
He also stated that 16 mass
meetings had been held over the
states of Washington and Oregon,
including the Pasco protest meet
ing, with three questions voted on.
i. Do you favor active control :?
APT voted for with 60 against.
For the continuation of the code
for 1885 and 1886, AL voted for
and 45 against. Stricter enforce
ment of code, SIP for and 8 against.
In this district more new growers
have applied for acreage allotments
than in the entire states of Wash
ington and Oregon, outside of this
district, Mr.. Story stated.
o. D. Wilcox and Mrs. H. v.
Wexler of Pasco and William Ger
Der, Harry Hampton and Clay Pu-
derbaugh were selected as a COM
mittee Tuesday evening at the Val
ley club house to work with the
committee from Richland in work
ing out "a code of fair prices for
the several strawberry handlers in
the district. Mass meetings were
held Monday and Tuesday evening
with Harry Hampton, district COM
mitteeman, in charge, when the
growers voted on the statewide
code of last year. The vote of
the growers was overwhelmingly
against the code, it was stated, so
the committee was appointed to
work out a code Of fair prices for
the local district. Another meeting
will be called when this has been
done.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Play for
the worlds three cushion billiard
championship now held by Johnny
Layton, of Sedalia, Mo-, went into
the third round here today.
Jay Bozeman Of Vallejo, Cal.

top-heavy favorite to win Layton'S
title as a result of his sensational
play in beating Allen Hall Of st.
Louis, so to 90 in 80 innings.
Welker Cochran Of San Fran
cisco, also loomed as a formidable

Japan. Cochran finished the
match in the thirty-third inning.
He started the game with the high
run Of the tournament, clicking
off nine billiards before they
could get him away from the

teur in the afternoon, but his op.
ponent, Otto Reiselt of Philadel-
phia, was ranker and the cham.
pion won SO to "a in the fifty
third inning.

Nothing To Fear,
Says Herring

DES MONIES, Nov. 8.-Gover-
nor Clyde Herring, wro dropped
a casual remark about this after
Moons 1owa-Minnesota football
game and brought a turmoil of
protest from Minnesota followers,
said today mo Minnesota players
have anything to fear at Iowa"
The governor said a remark by
him that no violence viii be per.
mitted against Ozzie Simmons,
Negro Iowa football star, was
made purely in friendly discus
sion OF the game and has been
misinterpreted."
mo statement by me should be
or could be construed as inti-
mating that Iowa expects an un-
necessary roughneSS in today'S
game, nor that if there were un-
SportSmanlike conduct on the
field that Iowa fans would be
unsportSmanlike," the governor
said.
Coach Bernie Bierman Of Min
neSota, whose team at Daven-
port, Iowa, went so far as to
threaten to break off athletic
relations with Iowa If Iowa fans
show resentment toward Mime
sofa.
Meantime, the governor and
thousands Of other persons were
flocking to Iowa City, Iowa, for
the State university'S feature
game Of the year.

Wildcats Ready
For Irish

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Nov. 8.
A strange paradox is presented
here today.
An unbeaten, united eleven, ap-
parently headed for a national
championship, genuinely fears q
foe which has won but two Of
its five contests this season,
Fears" is a miSnomer. ZAP
prehenSion" is better. The Appre.
hension is caused by Northwest
ern's faculty for rising to the
heights against Notre Dame,
Regardless of the tightneSs Of
the Big Ten race or the Wildcats
position in the race, the team
from Evanston would rather win
the Notre Dame game than any
other on the schedule.
Secondly, there is the possibility
the Irish may be inclined to rest
on their laurels after their out
standing last minute rise from
the mire Of defeat against Ohio
State last week.
The second apprehension IS
banded about for the most part
by the downtown quarterbacks.
The first is legion. Coach Elmer
Layden declared today that he
has no fear Of what his team
may not do, but has a whole
some respect for what Northwest
ern may do.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Several
changes in the New York Rangers
lineup will be necessary before the
squad is in shape to inaugurate

Bill Cook, Frank Boucher and
Bunny Cook, Hal Starr and Ching
