$400 100000 Autos Exhibited.

London's automobile show this year
was the most successful ever held
there. 237.560 persons attending and
nearly 400,000,0O0 worth of cars sold.
Evening star., 1936-08-09

the rate was increased to 8 cents for
the first ounce and l3 cents for each
additional ounce or fraction of an
ounce The volume of airmail fell off
to 6,741,788 pounds for that fiscal
year.
During the next fiscal year, which
ended June 80, 1884. the airmail fell
off further under the double burden
of high rates and the airmail contract
cancellations, in February, 1884.
During March of that year the total
fell off to 198,492 pounds for the
month, the lowest monthly total for
six years. After the letting of new
airmail contracts. however, a steady
recovery began. The fiscal year closed
with a total of 6.476,919 pounds.
The 1885 fiscal year, with new con-
tractors operating, also began with
the added advantage of decrease of
the airmail rate on the first day of the
fiscal year, July l, 1884, to the present
rate of cents for each ounce or
fraction of an ounce. An increase to
10,775,248 pounds for the year was
the result. Nine of the months that
year showed new all-time records for
airmail flown.
That the public definitely has ac-
cepted the airmail as a factor in
everyday life is shown by the fact
that during the past year more than
60O,000,000 airmail letters have been
flown and that during the current
fiscal year the total is expected to
grow to 80O.OOO,O00 letters. or nearly
seven, letters for each person in the
country.

In view of fact that Terri tory will pay Nome school board five thousand dollars March 1st under Capter 5 Session Laws 1886 cannot City of Nome furnish in- spector for building and guarantee one thousand dollars on contract stop. Unless city can do this it will be necessary eliminate reinforced celotex and bal cony and other items stop. Please reply before Jan. II.

KENNEWICK is
80 WINNER In
PASC0 GAME
Season Ends with Brilliant
Victory Over Longtime
Rivals; Wins Champion
ship Of Mythical League

In a brilliantly played game on
the local field yesterday afternoon,
the Kennewick Lions broke their
ten-year jinx which has prevented
defeating their longtime rivals
from across the river. The score
was 80, made up OF an unconverted
touchdown in the first quarter and
q beautifully executed field goal in
the third stanza.
BY far the largest audience ever
admitted to the new field saw the
Kennewick Lions outplay their
Pasco rivals in every part OF the
game. The home team clicked" in
every department and made rec
ord which is likely to stand for q
long time.
The game had everything-line
plungeS which tore through the
much-touted Pasco line for consist
ent gains; cross-buck plays which
worked beautifully; well executed
passes and enough end runs TO thrill
the customers. There were no in
juries received by either team, and
but few requirements were made by
either side. The game was cleanly
played and was without the contro-
versy which has marked previous
encounters. Neither side suffered
severe penalties.
Kennewick linesmen smothered
the Pasco attacks and prevented the
visitors from becoming serious
threat with their star backfield
which has made such a reputation
this season. The Kennewick backs,
on the other hand, made consistent
gains through and around the Pas
co line and piled up a record for
yardage gained from scrimmage.
This game, the last OF the season
for the locals, put Kennewick the
undisputed champion OF the myth
cal southwestern conference, VIM
ming every game except that with
Yakima, outside the group.
Kennewick's backfield, spanked by
Oliyer-Jones, Nagley and Talbot,
played remarkable game, although
the linesmen held better than in any
other game this season.
AS the teams came on the field
bombs were fired, unfurling first
the Pasco colors, then the orange
and black and finally the Red,
White and Blue.
No arrangements have been made
for Thanksgiving game, negotia-
tions for a return match with Pasco
being mo 60"

The Federal old-age benefits sys-
tenn provides for retirement pay
ments from the government to quail
flied persons at the age of IS. Its
purpose is to bring to those persons
employed in the broad fields of
commerce and industry increased
assurance of an independent old
age. .r
Benefits are based on the wage
record of the individual and are of
three types: ~ Monthly benefits
at the age 65; ~ lump sum pay
ments; and death benefits.
These benefits are based on to-
tai wages for work done after jan
uary 1, 1897 and before a worker be-
comes IS years of age.
Monthly benefits will range from
$40 to $85 a month and will begin
to be paid January l, 1912. To quail
ify for this type of benefit an indi-
vidual must be SIS years of age, his
total wages must be $1,000 or more
and he must have earned wages for
at least one day in each of five
calendar years.
Lump sum payments viii be made
to individuals who reach the age of
IS but do not qualify for monthly
benefits. The amount paid them
will equal 31s percent of their to-
tai wages.
Death benefit will be paid to the
estate of individuals who die before
drawing monthly or lump sum pay
ments equal to 3la percent Of their
wages.
Returns will be made through
the local post office in each Sec
ton. 1t is expected that the flu
ture business of the act will con-
tinue to be conducted through this
source.

CLUBMEN TELL
OFPET PEEVES'
Kiwanians Confess Jobs Arr
Not Always Pleasant to
Handle

Taking the opposite viewpoint, XII
wanians were called upon Tuesday
noon, not to tell about their hobbies,
but their pet peeves." They proved
most interesting.
A lawyer said his most painful
moment came when he was compel-
ed to tell client that he was sorry
but you lost the case" A salesman
said that discovering competitive
article sitting where he fully ex-
pected to place his was the hard
est thing he had to face.
Refusing to grant credit to peo-
pie whose record for paying is
known to- be poor was the hardest
thing merchant found in connec-
ton with his business, while power
company employees had difficulties
among themselves.
Unreasonable patients caused the
doctors the most grief, while GUS
toners who never know what they
want to eat gives restaurant man
the most unhappy moments. The
only line of business in which no
shadow of discomforture ever comes,
apparently, Is the building supply
and fuel business. Supplying COM
Portable, pleasant shelter for the
population is glad, sweet song, and
anyone engaged in that line can
do naught but smile and never show
a long face at least that was the
report this member dealer made.
Time only permitted one-half Of
the membership to detail their pet
peeves. The remaining members
will be called upon for their true
confessions at a future meeting.

ED NEUMAN MAKES ADDI-
TON TO PIPE ORGAN

Ed Neuman now has 81 new pipes
in his Wurlitzer pipe organ. The
pipes were installed by Vaughn g.
Wells of Seattle last weekend.
These new pipes are of one family
of tone or the tibia CLAUSE which
ranges in six different position of
pitch. The time of the installation
was three days because of the fact
that they had to solder 1920 electro
cal connections. Ed says that with
the addition of these new pipes
there is a total of 388 pipes in the
organ. He also states that there is
room for the same number to be
added and he intends to add a
harp in the very near future. s.
