never yet known reason, sent over
the shipload of English sovereigns

million dollars or so that founded
Smithsonian Institution. never saw
America, knew no one here, had no
friends here.
His remains we're brought here in
1904. however, and now lie in
marble sarcophagus in chapel-like
crypt at the entrance of the first
building erected from the funds he
bequeathed.
Yes, Macie was his name. In 1900
he adopted the name of Smithson-
just like that.
And, incidentally, before 1849, while
Congress was still debating what sort
of institution Smithsonian should real
ly be, it was planned that it should
be a school for the blind and pub

A MINUTE TO SPARE.

THE training of war days has helped
many a politician, but its applica-
ton in the case of Gov. Green of
Rhode Island probably is unique.
The Governor came to Washington
o few days ago to see about some
P. w. A. projects and with a desire to
take his problems directly to Admins
traitor Ickes.
Able to get only scant minutes
OF that officials time, the Governor
still could muster a smile when he
emerged.
Asked how he managed to accom-
plish anything in such a short time,
the States chief executive explained:
Il used to be four minute speaker

There can be no doubt now that the

there was uncertainty as to details Of the
Italian attacks. The Ethiopian Govern
meut reported thai Italian planes twice
bombed city and that there were nu-
merons houses destroyed and numerous
victims, mostly women and children.
The Ethiopiaps claimed that it was viola
ton of Ethiopian frontier rights and ag
Rression. Four machines were used in
the two air raids. 81 bombs fell, thefirst
fell on the Re- Cross hospital. 10 one or
two places the Italians were repulsed
but otherwise the Abyssinians suffered
great losses.
In Rome it was declared that the re
port of the air raids was not true, that

Rome admitted the bombing but claimed
that Abyssnia gave first offense. because

HANFORD FACES
POWERFUL TEAM
IN NEXT GAME

Having established themselves at
the top of the valley league, Hanford
will meet the first contender for their
position Sunday, when Wapato travels
to the local field.
From all advance indications, the
game will be as exciting as any played
on the home diamond this season. In
their first game Of the season, Wapato
handed Hanford 6-3 defeat, the only
team which was able to defeat the
locals by more than one run. Against
Toppenish in the first half OF the
schedule; both teams showed the saraa
power, Wapato losing to the champs
by 4-3 score in an eleven inning
game, while Hanford lost, 1919, in a
welve-inning game.
In this half, however, Hanford has
shown more power, having handed an
"a defeat to Yakima, which trounced
Wapato AL the following Sunday.
Since comparative scores are poor
standards of actual strength, those who
saw Wapato defeat Hanford earlier in
the season are predicting close game
from the call of "play ball" to the last
out in the last inning. If the two
pitching stats are working as effec-
lively as in the other game, the score
will likely be small, but both teams
have heavy hitters who can drive in
number of runs if the pitchers lose
their control.

States Pellsion
System Takes
Effect Monday
No Lien On Personal Pro
perty Required BY
State

With the states old age pension
system taking effect Monday, July l,
the county office of the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare has been busy
receiving applications for the pension
and perfecting an organization TO
handle the details of the work. r. w,
MacDonell of Hanford was recently
named supervisor of the old age pen
sion division of the county office. His
office, together with that of the relief
administration, was moved to Prosser
last week from KenneWick.
Over 300 applicants in this county
have already signed up for the old age
pension. Under the law passed at the
last session of the legislature, this pen
sion will amount to $50 per month or
less, depending upon the needs OF the
applicant. 1t is anticipated that the
federal government will pay a portion
of this amount the balance to be made
up by the state In case the federal
government fixes a sum in excess OF
SIS as their share, the state will match
that sum.
Those who desire this assistance may
make their application direct at the
county office at Prosser, or by mail.
To receive the pension, person must
be IS years OF age, and must have re-
sided in this state for at least five OF
the past ten years.
Need Determines Pension
The amount of assistance awarded
will depend upon the actual need of
the applicant, the amount OF money
available, and the number of appli-
cations Both husband and wife can
receive pension, the amount granted
to be according to their combined
needs, The applicant must also be a,
citizen of the United States.
| Under the state law, an applicant
will not have to give lien on his
property to receive a pension. However.
if the federal government requires a
lien, that provision will be carried out
by the state. In this case, all or any
part of persons property, real estate
or personal (but not including house
hold goods and personal etfects) will
/ be pledged to the state as a guaranty
of paying back the old age assistance
granted Such @ lien does not become
operative as long as the property is
occupied by the recipient or his sur
viving spouse, provided he or she is
not more than Is years younger and
does not marry again.
In case Of need, medical and sur
gical and hospital care and nursing as
sistance may be provided by the state
or county in addition to the old age
pension.
All assistance granted under the state
act shall be inalienable by any as
signment or transfer and shall be ex-
empt from levy or execution.

the White Bluffs Grange and many OF
the Hanford Grange as we'll as some
friends with special invitations.
The luncheon prepared by the
Grange ladies consisted of creamed
and baked chicken cold salads Of var
ious kinds and generous assortment
of cakes and pies. Both coffee and
lemon punch were served. Old Mar
Depression was not in evidence; he
was forced out of the picture by the
bounteous display Of edibles and the
general feeling of good fellowship.
After luncheon, Worthy Master Ed
