careful attention to the forthcoming
Moscow trip of Foreign Minister
Pierre Laval
The Russian visit is regarded as
particularly important to France be-
cause of her anxiety to push the pro-
posed Eastern mutual assistance pact.
Laval is expected to leave for Moscow
April l6 for discussion of the agree
ment, the broad outlines of which
have been discussed, but the text of
which remains to be prepared.
While the outcome of the Berlin
negotiations undoubtedly will infiu-
ence Frances course of action, there
was little doubt in official circles that
she would go through with the East
ern agreement regardless of the re-
suits of the Anglo German talks.

CITY TO TRY
TO GET SLICE
OF ROAD COIN
Twelve Millions Allocated to
Washington for Roads and
Grade Separations; Ask to
Have N. B. Work "

Twelve million dollars OF t c
Presidents four billion dollar
grant, has been a1located to the
state of Washington for highway
purposes. This money does not
have to be matched from state
funds as heretofore. Each COM
munity is being requested to make
application for portion of this
money.
Eight of the twelve million dol
lars will be used for highway con-
struction on projects not necessar-
lily included in the states primary
highway set-up. Four million is to
be used for grade separations. Ken
newick has a project under both
headings. An underground crossing
Of the tracks between town and the
highway, and the continuation Of
the North Bank highway are the
projects Of primary Importance To-
cally.
The matter was brought before
the chamber of commerce this noon
for an expression from the mem
bers as to which the district should
ask for. Inasmuch as the grade
crossings are not on a primary
state highway, it was thought diff
ficult, perhaps, to secure an appro-
priation for this purpose. The mat
ter was left in the hands of the
road committee to investigate.

500 ACRES NEW
LAND PUTINTO
CROP THIS YEAR
Eighty New Farmers Come
to District, while &c Resi-
dents Buy Additional Ac-
reages to Farm

"The tide has turned and once
more this district will take its
rightful place in the scheme Of
things" said w. p. Stapleton, Of
the land settlement department Of
the Northern Pacific railroad TO the
members Of the chamber Of COM
merce this noon more than five
hundred acres Of new land is being
put into cultivation than you had
last year." he said.
I'm the settlement and rehabili-
tation Of the Three Rivers section,
this side Of the river has secured SO
new FARMS" Mr.. Stapleton stated.
"Of this number 40 are new set
tiers on the Highlands project, with
six more to come; 40 newcomers
have settled on the Richland pro-
ject with three more to come. Since
the work Of settling this project was
started 26 resident farmers have
purchased additional land. This is
striking evidence Of the renewed
interest being taken in lands In this
section" Mr.. Stapleton said.
The job here has not been pri-
marily one Of selling lands, he said,
but Of rehabilitating the projects as.
whole. This was done, he ex-
planned, through the combined eff
forts of the chamber Of commerce,
district directors, the state and the
federal reclamation bureau, working
through and with public spirited
men and the railroad. The districts
in the Three Rivers section are now
ready to 60 places.
Here will be found good land,
good and plentiful water, advantage
eous climatic conditions and &C
prices which will permit settlers TO
pay out. With water arrangements
at a low per acre cost, there pro-,
Jects are now in shape to permit OF
the fullest development by settlers
who can work out their destinies I'm
this section.
Mr.. Stapleton passed out copies
Of the new publicity which the N.
p. is circulating to some 10000 pro-
Spective settlers. The booklet Is
nicely gotten up, gives all necessary
data as to location, elevation, cli-
mate, water, crops, marketing, etc.
Several local scenes are shown In
the booklet.
Mr.. Stapleton also called atten-
ton to the development in the very
near future Of the Columbia Basin
irrigation project. he said he had
1t on good authority that the high
dam at Coulee would be construct
ed and with it the nations largest
irrigation project, embracing 1900
600 acres OF semi-arid land. Con-
struction Of the water distribution
system was to be commenced at six
separate points and the project
rushed to completion. This con-
with its influx Of new set
tiers would prove Of tremendous
value to this section, he said.

PAPER GETS
NEW DRESS
. FOR EASTER
Courier-Reporter Installs the
Latest Style of Newspaper
Type; Easier on the Eyes
of Readers.

A newspapers business is to GET
itself read, and, Just as you are
more interested in a speaker who
articulates distinctly, SO exactly will
you be more interested in a news
paper that articulates distinctly and
clearly graphically. So
1t is with pleasure and a degree OF
pride that the Courier Reporter to-
day presents new type in our news
columns, known In the vernacular
Of the trade as a new dress"
There has been lot of talk and
lot Of arguments in print in re-
cent years about legibility and read
ability Of printing types. Many
publishers have spent thousands Of
dollars on new body type and new
headletters in order to improve
their medium of expression. Time
was when we thought the average
reader cared little about typograph-
ical refinements-the why's and
wherefores Of one letter reading
better" than another. When read
ing becomes irksome or next to i'm
possible for some, the blame fell on
the eyes or the glasses used-or
the lack Of them. Print was taken
as matter Of course, and nothing
was ever done about 1t.
Now it is different. Experts in
design of letters got busy and told
us what was the matter with our
old type, and showed us how inn
proved design would work out to
our advantage and that Of our read
ers. Associations of optometrists
throughout the country have been
among the agitators for improved
design.
Several attempts have been made
In the line of improved letter de-
sign lately, until today we have
Linotype Ionic No. 5, considered by
many to be the most legible q n d
easiest read Of all newspaper type.
We thought so-and hence, our new
dress"
Linotype Ionic is the result of
years of experience in designing ex-
ceptionally readable plain types. It
has deep, generously proportional
counters white space between lines
of the letters) and no extreme var
iation in thick and thin strokes.
Each word is instantly grasped by
the reader, because Ionic letters
flow" into one another-the char
acters are well fitted, and the dis
tribution of white space is so uni
form within and around each char
acter that the letters readily group
into words and provide maximum
reading ease.
The valuable subtleties Of charac-
ter, visibility, evolved In studying
hundreds Of existing faces, have
been incorporated into Ionic letter
design. Ionic capitals are sturdy
and well proportioned in relation TO
the lower case.
Ionic has no period" or man.
neristic elements in its design to
handicap reading ease. It is scien-
tifically designed, modern, plain
type, extremely readable, and ex-
ceedingly useful for periodical and
book work.

VISITOR URGES
KENNEWICK TO
BE BEAUTIFUL.
Get Rid of Bill Boards and
Rubbish Civic Worker Says
If we Want to Be Prosper
GUS and Happy

/ Mrs. Nesmith Ankeny of Walla
Walla, chairman of the Walla Wal
la civic art department Of Women's
clubs, was a guest here yesterday
of Mrs. j. r. Ayers and Mrs. A. F.
Brown, presidents of the local wo-
mems clubs. Mrs. Ankeny was taken
over the town on tour Of inspec-
ton. When she came into the local
newspaper office she spoke very en-
enthusiastically about some of the
beauty spots of Kennewick, and how
nicely they were kept.
Among those receiving special
mention were the beautiful land
scaped place on Columbia boule-
ward that MIR. and Mrs. Phil Trier
have made their home the past two
years, and their attractive outdoor
fireplace just completed. The
grassy triangle at the corner of
Benton street and the highway,
where the marker and the neon
sign are; Bricks service station plot
and the little park at the Twin City
Creamery, and evergreen trees In
the Conway yard were mentioned.
Mrs. Ankeny stated the civic inn
provements identify residents with
the progressive trend that is now
spreading in every community. The
beauty of our towns and cities is
being menaced by the i'll advised
billboard advertising mania; by UNI
slightly storage areas and rubbish
parked on vacant property, both in
the residential and business dis
tricts, she said.
In order that the civic work In
the state may be expedited, may I
suggest, Mrs. Ankeny said, that the
president Of every club appoint a
committee of three to consult with
and ask the cooperation Of the bus
mess men in securing the passage
of three city ordinances:
The first to prohibit billboardS at
city entrances, at approaches to
bridges, adjacent to creeks, lakes or
other strategic points where vistas
are obscurred.
The second to prohibit the park
ing of junk on vacant property
within the city limits.
Third, to require wrecking con-
Germs, machinery repair shops, and
dealers in junk and the like to en-
close their storage areas with stout
picket fences.
If these ordinances are passed
and enforced your town will emerge
neat, clean and wholesome. It
would be well to remember that at
tractive towns attract tourists. Re-
suit: prosperity.
Mrs. Ankeny talked with Mayor
A. G. Anon, Herman Schmidt and
G. A. Crawford while here in the in
terests of city Identification. Some
of her recommendations for the
coming year are urging service sta
ton operators to maintain minia-
ture parks; set aside a special day
for tree planting; urge citizens to
plant one or more evergreen trees,
and ask donation for your park
project. Continue to improve and
extend parks and playfields. Sc
cure professional landscape archi-
tects as guest speakers and invite
the entire community to these lee
lures.
