DISGUISED Motives

A GREAT many persons go through
this world keeping their mo-
tives hidden as much as possible. In
popular language, this is known as
one Of the many forms Of living by
ones wits" In some quarters such
behavior Is praised; in others it. As
condemned.
Disguised motives have always been
known. Our oldest literature in every
language mentions them. The story
Of the Trojan horse is perhaps the
best example.
Ancient as this knowledge is, the
understanding of the reasons for dis
guising motives came in with Freud.
In other words, the explanation is
product Of the present century.
And what does Freud find? Every
disguised motive is a symptom of
maladjustment. Generally, these dis
guisements betray some abnormality
which has grown out of conflicts with
the world. So disguised motives do
not betray cleverness; they betray
weakness.

~ ARTLETT pears have long been
* a favorite among growers in
the State of California. Over
~ a million cans of these pears
are distributed over the United States
each year. There are great pear Or
chards of Bartletts in California, for
this pear has much to recommend it,
even though others have a more
pleasing favor.
What endears the Bartlett pear to
the California orchardist is the will
ingness of the tree to grow in very
differing climates and a long ripen-
ing season. For it grows successfully
in the valley, coast and mountain.
Bartlett pears may be had for three
months.
Besides being large, handsome
fruit, to please the eye, it stands

transportation well. makes acceptable
slices when halved for canning and
Is excellent as dried fruit.
Today, with so many successful Or
chards in California, it does not seem
possible that the first pears sold in
San Francisco were grown in 1849-50.
These were gathered from trees grow
ing near the old California missions.
From these trees were obtained graft
1ngs of most Of our best pears today.
The growing of pears in New Eng
land States and New York, west Of
the Great Lakes and on the Pacific
slope, is a successful undertaking. In
other States the trees seem to be
prone to blight, and in the South
the climate is too hot, while in the
North the Winter is too severe. 1t
thus appears that the pear tree is
somewhat tempermental as to cli-
mate.
According to the record, this pear
Is named for Enoch Bartlett of Dor
chester, Mass, who was greatly In
terested in the distribution of this
pear in America.
In France the fruit was known as
bon chretien and also in England,
where it was originated about the
year ITO.
Somehow the taste for pears in
America has not expressed itself in
the new country as it has in the old.
As a dessert, the pear Is not q ia
vorite. The fruit grown, it is true,
Is mostly used in canning. Ripe Bart
lett pears have, of course, many de-
voted admirers, but compared with
the peach or apple, 1t cannot be said
to be in the same class.
OF late years the firm, white halves
Of the Bartlett pear have been used
in salads, the depression in the CEN
ter being filled with finely chopped
celery or small ball Of cream cheese.
The methods used in pear culture
and the number Of varieties have
changed little in the last 80 years.
1t is said that the growing of pears
has not. been extended to any marked
degree, that where they are grown
better methods are sought and q
more excellent fruit, but the tree Is
not reaching newer locations.
However, no one can ever tell when
some fruit will become exceedingly
popular. and the pear may come into
its own.

When West opened the seven of

Rule of Eleven, could place declarer
with but one high honor. If that
honor happened to be the queen, East,
by playing the ace and returning the
jack, would capture it and five tricks
In that suit would be run. But II
declarer held the king three times
and East won the first trick with the
ace, he would be allowed to hold the
second lead, and when declarer won
the third round, East would have no
more of the suit. Then, unless his
partner held an ace, he would not be
able to get on lead in time to run OH
his remaining spades.
Now East, who held the king Of
diamonds in back Of dummy's long
suit, was pretty sure that If declarer
were allowed to win the first trick, he
would be unable to run off eight more
tricks in hearts and clubs. Hence.
East played the jack of spades, and
declarer, naturally thinking that the
ace was in back of him, won with his

with the king, led spades, he and his

then have taken the losing diamond
finesse, and East would, Of course,
have returned a club. but declarer
would have refused the finesse and
won with the ace, since he would have
been able to run off nine tricks.

Recent economic changes in the
national situation have provided an
opportunity for those interested in
the development of the Columbia
river to receive rehearing on the
construction of the Umatilla dam.
This work is being done under the
direction of the u. S. Army engin-

reported unfavorably last year. The
recent change has altered the Sit
uation and the date for the rehear-
ing has been set for March 16, ac-
cording to word received this morn
ing by G. H. Mclaughlin, field Sec
rotary for the Inland Empire Water
ways association, which is handling
the case. The hearing will cost five
thousand dollars and Benton coun-
tvs share of expenses has been set
at $700.
Recently the county was petition
ed for the amount, but was unable
to appropriate it. Kennewick Port
District officials have agreed to
contribute $50 if the amount is
matched by local subscription. A
meeting was held Monday to solicit
the town in the attempt to raise
the county's quota. At the meeting
about $50 was raised and COM
mittee will make the rounds tomor-

Absences Not Enough
to Close the School

Rumors that the schools would
close this weekend until the flu
and mumps epidemic had passed,
are unfounded, according to Supt.
E. S. Black. While some rooms
have a large percentage of absentees
from sickness, the condition is not
general, he states. A count this
morning showed absences amount
ing to fourteen percent of the en-
rollment. Mr.. Black states that
five percent is normal at any
time, and under the conditions he
thinks there is no need for closing
at this time. The general opinion
seems to be that the illness peak
has been passed.
