Cool Weather
Relieves High
Water Threat
Columbia Is Still IL Feet
Below Peak Stage Of
1884

Anticipation of above-nor1nal high
water in the Columbia river waned
this week as cooler weather kept the
river at virtual standstill Predictions
earlier in the season were that with
the large amount of snow in the noun
tains, a flood stage was probable.
Since the river had started it's an
nual rise later than usual, due to a
backward spring, the recent forecast of
a hot spell had indicated that the
prediction would come true. However,
a number of days of cloudy and UNI
settled weather during the past few
weeks have kept the river at nearly the
same level and caused slight drop
this week.
The stage of the river today, Thurs
day, at the Coyote Rapids pumping
plant is 5231, down one-tenth from
Wednesdays reading. 1t is still IL feet
below the peak of 1884 and 81 feet
below the peak of 528.2 feet, the high
est in recent years, recorded in 1888.
Today's reading represents a rise of
SIX tenths of foot since June 6.
Reports from up-river points indi-
Gates that there is still large amount
of snow in the hills, but since the
runof at this stage is about 100000
cubic feet per second, a prolonged per-
iod of unsettled weather removes
much of the danger of flood conditions
The peak stage Of the river is normally
reached about the Goth of June.

ABERCROMBIE GIRL
RECEIVERS SAFELY

Safely home again, little Grace
Harriet Abercrombie is doubtless Won

the cause Of SO much trouble and re-
solving that never again will she try
to hide one in her mouth.

The pin had been lodged in her throat
and at the touch Of the Spokane spe-
cialists instrument it became dislodged
and dropped farther down the ali
mentary canal The child was kept in

time SO that the objects passage could
be watched. Fortunately, further pas
sage was unimpeded and no surgical
manipulations were necessary.

bic and their three sons brought Mrs
Abercrombie and her little girl back

Hail Storm, Short
But Fierce, RACES

A freak storm, lasting but few
minutes, swept over portion Of south
central Washington Wednesday after
noon, bringing heavy damage to fruit
crops in some parts of the Yakima
valley.
The storm was first reported at va
kima, where a heavy hail storm CEN
tered over Yakima, Selah, Tieton, Mob
Hill and Terrace Heights sections. The
hail stones were as large as moth
balls, and in one place it was reported
that they covered the ground to a
depth Of four inches. According to the
Yakima Republic, cherries were badly
damaged in that district, and apricots
peaches and apples will be badly
marked by the hail. Full extent of
the damage has not yet been deter
mined. Precipitation amounting to SO
of an inch was reported there.
Travelling in an easternly direction,
the storm swept over the Priest Rap
ids valley, passing on within fifteen
minutes of the time it first hit. Some
nan was iePOICtu 1lolll ocVelstl PiaCCo
here, but practically no damage was
done. At Hanford the storm was ac
companied by a near-cloudburst, .16
of an inch of precipitation being re-
corded in the short while the storm
lasted. In the White Bluffs district,
there was no rain or hail, the storm
being marked only by heavy wind

Decide Upon
Three Grades
For Apricots
Expect Director of Agricul
lures Approval In
Near Future

| Proposed rules for apricot grades
have finally been drawn up, according
to advices received here, and have
Agriculture w. j. Robinson for his ap-
proval. Since it is understood that
apricot growers are favorable to the
conditions, it is expected that his ap
prevail will be made soon.
The movement for state apricot
grades was started by growers of the
Wenatchee district who claimed that
shipping of immature fruit was running
the prices received for the fruit. Pub
lie hearings were held in Wenatchee
and Yakima last month, and while
little general interest was shown in
the matter by growers, the state dir
ector of agriculture expressed the be-
lief that grades would improve market
ing conditions in the industry.
The proposed rules include three
grades, Washington No. /, Washington
orchard run, and unclassified. The first
grade shall consist of apricots of one
variety which are mature but not soft,
overripe or shriveled, and which are
well formed, visibly clean, and free
from decay, worm holes, and from
damage caused by limbrub. A toler
ance of 10 per cent by weight of any
lot will be allowed but not more than
half of this tolerance shall be allowed
for defects causing serious damage.
The orchard run grade shall con-
sistN of apricots of one variety which
are mature but not soft, overripe or
shriveled, and which are fairly clean
and free from decay, worm holes or
other insect pests, and from serious
damage cadsed by growth cracks, hail,
mechanical or other means. A toler-
ance of 10 per cent will be allowed.
The unclassified grade shall consist
Of apricots which are mature but do
not meet the requirements of the fore
going rules.
Under the marketing and packing
requirements of the rules, in order to
allow for variations incident to proper
sizing, not more than 10 per cent by
weight Of the apricots in any package
shall be below the minimum size spe-
Gifted. In packed containers when the
variation in size, in the individual
packages, does not exceed Il Inch in
diameter, the determination Of grade
may be made on the count basis.
When apricots are prepared for mar
ket or offered for sale in either open
or closed containers, such containers
shall have stamped thereon the variety
grade, and packers name and address,
and in the case of closed containers,
the net weight. These requirements do
not apply to fruit sold to canneries
The following varieties shall not be
considered to have reached maturity
which will insure proper completion
of the ripening process until they have
developed characteristic yellow or straw
color ON the minimum percentage of
surface area, as follows:
Moorpark, 20 per cent; Gilbert or
Newcastle, SO per cent; Tilton, 40 per
cent; Blenheim 40 per cent; Royal, 40
per cent.

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 4
G.N.S0-A grand jury next
Wednesday will be asked to de-
termine whether a father shall
face trial because he slapped his
baby lightly and the child died.
This was decided after DR..
Lawrence Boylan, Passaic county
medical examiner, conducted an
autopsy on Beatrice Water, 3, who
died after her father, Anthony,
slapped her lightly to awaken
her.
The autopsy disclosed, DR..
Boylan said, that an ear disease
had infected the child's brain
and that her condition was so
grave the slap may well have
caused the death.
Wednesday. he said, he tried to
feed her after the baby had
cried all night. Beatrice went to
sleep without eating. Irritated,
Water said, he slapped her to
awaken her. But the baby lost
consciousness and died shortly
afterward.
At first, Mrs. Water told police

GARDEN

"Once To Every Batchelor" is the intriguing title of the new offering at the Garden Theater tomorrow, and with Marion Nixon and Neil Hamilton in the featured roles, 1t provides grand entertainment to the customers who like a comedy drama that has romance, fun and clever situations. Suggested by Ei- eanor Gates story, Search for the Spring." and directed by William Nigh, the film is unquestionably one of the major hits of the sea- son. Besides, it's the kind of pie ture that the children can take their parents to, without any hesi- tation.
 The story concerns the predica- ment of gay playboy whose veal thy aunt warns him that his in- come will cease unless the scandal that is continually linked with his name is stopped. A threatened di- vorce suit, with his name as core spondent, makes him realize the gravity of the situation. Marriage is the way out, he concludes, mar riage only temporary and strictly business. A suitable partner hap pens along in the person of a charming miss, innocently invol- we'd in difficulties with the New York police. When they have spread a dragnet for her, she picks up" the playboy accidental ly. Before long he makes his bus mess marriage proposition to her. She accepts. Off to Paris on a hon. eymoon! I
 Does the business part of the marriage remain it's chief feature We'll, yes; until unusual situations test the girls real worth, and the gay blade, now somewhat sobered, realizes that he can go much fur ther and fare much forse.
 In the highly capable hands Of Neil Hamilton and Marion Nixon. the leading roles are invested with a great deal of charm. Rarely has Hamilton been more happily cast and he is able to extract the last element of interest out of every sit uation. Marion Nixon, as lovely as ever, turns in an excellent per- formance as the girl who finds her happiness in finding a hus- band. Others in the really fine cast include William Austin, Raymond Hatton, Aileen Pringle, Kathleen Howard and Gerge Irving. George Waggner wrote the screen story.
 The companion feature will be "The Desert Trail'' with John Wayne.

ALHAMBRA

Absent treatment for actors is the recipe recommended by Mel vile Brown, directof of the sue cessful Monogram pAotoplay, '"The Nut Farm which comes to the Alhambra theater for a run of two starting tomorrow.
 Adapted from John c. Brownells stage success by the same title, the new Monogram film is one of the most amusing comedise to be seen here in many days. Starring Wall lace Ford, who created the leading role on the stage, the feature boasts an excellent supporting cast of well-known players.
 The stroy concerns the amusing antics of g ullible family who succumb to the wiles of a group of fy-by-night motion picture pro- moters. Investing his life's savings in the project as retired New York grocer. The film is to star his movie-struck wife and to be directde by his brother-in- law.
 The efforts of the family to make the picture and their later attempts to salvage something from the wreck cannot help but arouse risi- bilities of any motion picture audi ence.
 Among the members of the cast who gave excellent performances are Joan Gale, Oscar Apfel, Brad ley Page, Betty Alden, Florence Roberts, Spencer Charters, Lorin Raker and Arnold Gray. Melville Brown must also be commended for his exceptional direction of George Waggner's adaptation of the John c. Brownell play.
