a Scudier taborszernaggyal tor
tent egy olyan eset, amelyet ma

biztonsag es hitelesseg okabol.
A Temesvar varosat ujjaepito
es inegszepit6 taborszernagy nyu-
galomba keriilt es Bees varosaba
vonult vissza. Mint minden Greg
ember, Scudier is szoszatyar lett,
sokat es hosszasan meselt elme-
nyei fel6l, ha akadt, aki meghall-
gassa. Kulonosen egy dolgot
mondott el mindenkinek olyan
reszletesen es olyan gyakorta,
hogy vegre bolondnak kezdtek
tartani es nyiltan emlegettek a
csaszari udvarban is:

Macy elvesztette teljesen az eszet.
Agyalagyult lett Greg napjaira.
Fulebe jutott ez Ferenc 10
zsefnek is, aki nyomban elren-
delte, hogy tudos orvosok WIS
galjak meg az aggastyan elme-
bell allapotat. A vizsgalat az
utan kideritette, hogy a ven ka-
tona nemcsak mem bolond, hanem
nagyon is jozaneszii. Bolond hi
rebe azert keveredett, inert ele-
tenek egyik nagyon kulonos e.
szinte hihetetlen elmenyet sze

Scudier taborszernagy egyiz-
ben utnak indult Angolorszag
fele, hogy OFT el6 rokonait meg
latogassa. A Becsb6l indulo vo-
nation a veletlen egy angol en-
berrel hozta ossze, akivel beszel-

mikor az angol utitars egyszer
csak ait mondja az Greg katona-
max:

mem tapasztaltam eletemben. En-
ugyan ont mem ismerem, de
megis vegtelenul eros rokon-

ugyanakkor valami kulonos fe-
lelem is gerjed bennem, aminek
mem tudom magyarazatat adni.
A taborszernagy mem ijedt
meg jo katona letere az ar

es ait gondolta onmagaban:
Ez az ember alighanem
orult, de az is megeshetik, hogy

Mikor mar London fele koze-

SCHOOL MUST
RENT SPACE
N EXT YEAR
Increasing Enrolment Makes
More Room Necessary; to
Seek Federal Appropria-
ton; Chamber Helps

Additional school rooms will be
an absolute necessity next fall
Supt. E. S. Black told the chamber
of commerce this noon. He sad
that thruout this year the enroll
ment had steadily increased and
with the normal increase next fall
there simply would not be room
enough at the two schools to house
all the pupils.
He said the eighth grade at the
present time numbered IS pupils
about twenty per cent more than
any previous class and that there
wasn't a single vacant seat in the
room nor a place to put an addi-
tional desk. He stated that prob
ably two more rooms would be re-
quired next fall.
These statements were made in
reply to request for information
as to how much progress was being
made in the matter Of securing an
appropriation for new building.
Mr.. Black stated that the depart
ment had indicated that money
would be available from federal
funds on a 80 per cent grant basis,
the district to finance the 20 per
cent.
He said that even IL the money
could be appropriated at once that
facilities would not be made avail
able for next fall at the best and
the rented rooms would be re-
quired any way. He said that there
was quite a little agitation for a
consolidation of districts which
would be a decided advantage in
many ways, but that under the rul-
ings recently given out from the
attorney generals office a bond is
sue probably would be difficult to
sell even if voted.
The chamber of commerce called
a special meeting of the board of
directors for Tuesday night to go
into the question further to see if
something could not be worked out
in order to relieve the situation as
to housing and at the same time
to take advantage Of the federal
grant of funds.

W.B.-VANTAGE
LINK in ROAD
SEEN AS SURE
Highway Dept. Gives Encour-
agement to Committee
Seeking New Farm-to-Mar-
ket Highway

Hopes for action on the connect
ing link from White Bluffs to the
Vantage Bridge were increased this
week as the result Of q conference
with Lacey Murrow, highway direct
or. John Dam Of Richland, who was
member Of the committee making
the trip to Olympia, said that he
was certain that the road would be
built in the not too far future.
The committee, composed Of
members Of the Sam Hill Highway
association, got the promise from
the department that following a
survey and estimate, action would
be taken shortly II the plan, route
and costs were not out Of line.
Members of the department stat
ed that route TO the south Of the
Coulee district would within very
short time be necessity, but Just
which Of the several proposed would
be selected would depend largely
upon the above stated factors. In
asmuch as this route would con-
meet up with present established
highways, would be The shortest and
least expensive to construct, the
committee members felt that a
great deal had been accomplish
Mr.. Dam stated that in his
opinion if the road was built it
would become one of the most inn
portant farm-to-market routes in
the state. He said that for Benton
county residents it would shortly
become possibly the most important
road in the county.
The highway department stipu-
lated that the county commission
ers from the three interested coun-
ties thru which tn. route runs,
would require to finance the sur
vey and estimates. Assurances have
been received from two of the coun-
ties already that they would par
ticipate in the action.
Members of the highway depart
ment will be present at the celebra-
ton in Pasco next weekend and
when another conference will be
held by the members Of the COM
r1ittee and the department off,
Gals, at which time further de-
tails of the project may be worked
out.

CHAIN LETTER
FAD HITS ALL
IN KENNEWICK
Stunt Spreads Like Wild Fire
in Single Week; Call for &c
to SIS; Returns Begin to
Come in.

One thing the democratic admin
istration is going to take credit for
this year, any way. The annual
postal deficit will not be shown be-
cause of the intense interest being
shown in the chain letter craze
which has spread over the country
like wild fire the past month.
Kennewick is no exception to the
rule. The whole community has
gone crazy over the fool stunt and
of the first ones to enter the game
are beginning to get back a small
portion of the fabulous returns. in
dicated in the letters.
The chains run the whole gamut
from two cents to five dollars, with
the dollar ones now being the ones
most favored. The five dollar chains
showed up today for the first time
one indeed being telegraphed
The others are of the guaranteed
variety, calling for a notary's seal
testifying to the fact that the five
spot was actually forwarded.
One of the dollar chains, bear
ing but three names is reported to
have netted one local citizen abo'lt
sixty dollars to date. Many 9TH
ers report receiving from a dime to
several dollars from the smaller
chains. The two milk bottles full
report has been circulated as COM
ing from some local woman here
as we'll as from nearly every other
town in the country. 1.-TWO milk
bottles full of dimes, already!"
The sport has not cost anyone
any great amount of money, even
for the most rabid of the fans and
it has caused a noticeable differ
ence in the general attitude of the
public. The dreams of fifteen hum
dred dollars coming from out Of
the nowhere into the here seem to
have given everyone a new spirit
of hope and the world looks a lot
brighter since the letters began to
circulate so freely.
Whether or not local people pro-
fit from the craze, the post office
department certainly is. POST
master Lincoln reports tonight that
cancellations have more than dou-
bled this week and sales of stamps
LstS kepG pace WIFI Tie CdIlCeIid-
lions. He reports that outgoing
stuff alone has equaled the peak of
the pref Christmas rush, although
in a form much easier to handle.
Clerks are being called on for over
time this week, when the craze To-
cally is presumed to have reached
its peak.
It provides a lot of fun and an
ticipation and is not costing any
one individual very much-and it
certainly ought to pull the postal
department clear out Of the red ink
column for the year.
