A federal old-age pension plan On
the order of the Townsend system
was given overwhelming recommends
ton in the house of the state legisla-
ture Monday.
Suspending the rules to speed uI
action the house voted IS to IL, In
favor of a memorial to congress urg-
ing passage of law levying 2 pei
cent federal transaction tax for the
creation of pension fund.
The measure would petition Presi-
dent Roosevelt and congress to provide
that the proceeds be distributed even
ly among all citizens more than gu

pensions be spent within 80 days
This plan Is along the same lines
as the Townsend system which would

STATE SLICES MILLION
DOLLAR LIQUOR MELON

OLYMPLA-One million dollars
in liquor profits were distributed
to the state, counties and cities
Wednesday, the 18th distribution
of dividends from the liquor revol-
wing fund, Chairman L. E. Gregory
of the liquor control board said.
The million dollar cut was the
second during this fiscal year,
which began on October l. The Oc-
tober dividend amounted to $40O,-
600.
A prescribed by law. 70 per
cent of the money goes to the state
treasurer and 80 per cent to coun-
ties and municipalities in proper
ton to population.
Chairman Gregory said there
was some delay in making today's
distribution due to the fact rural
Whitman county had voted dry
and would not participate in to-
days and further distributions I'M
der that condition.
Some time was consumed, as {
consequence, in the computation o.
the new distribution futures.
Rural Whitman county would
have received approximately $4,000
by todays dividend, had it mo-
elected to vote out liquor sales.

part of last Fridays school pro-

The first occasion for alarm came
when smoke was seen to be es-
Gaping into the seventh and eighth
grade room from the rear parti-

Immediately the fire gong was
srung and ms children marched
outdoors, but as the day was cold
and the children didn't have time
to grab wraps they were marched
into the gymnasium which was
warm butt remote from the danger
of fire.
In the meantime, Ray Croft had
already discovered the cause of the
smoke to lie small board which
was nailed to the wall close to the
furnace chimney. The board had
been put there during the pas
summer when the contractors in
stalled the new furnace as a cleaH
to pry against and had failed to

While there was no damage
done, had the trouble occurred at
noon-time or out OF school hours
the building could very easily have

Social Registers Mum
On WaIIy's Divorces

LONDON, Oct. 20 Q.N.SO.
Rrstains Social Registers" of the
peerage today made the Duke of
Windsor the fourth man of the
land. But their listings barred a
lot of headaches for the editors
concerned.
Receiving bare recognition, the
Duchess, the former Mrs. Wallis
Warfield, appeared with no men
ton of her two divorces.
WHERE DUKE STANDS
Long head-pounding and heart
burning were revealed in advance
copies of the 1888 handbooks of
the nobility. The AuStere Debrett
went straight to the point with
the abdicated King. He was
ranked after King George VI and
the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent,
although he is their eldest
brother.
Whittaker'S, compendium of
titled parsonage similar to De
brett's, overcame the difficulty
by devoting a complete section of
the family of King George ""
in which Edward, Duke of Wind
sor, was placed at the top of the
list as the oldest son.
DIVORCES IGNORED
In contrast with this difficulty
In placing the Duke of Windsor,
there was studious unanlmlty IN
lodging the ducheSS's former mar
riage. For instance, Whittaker's
next edition will dismiss the
duchess with this note at the end
of Edwards biography:
Married June 3, 1887, Mrs.
WindSor.)"
Debrett's editor practically ad-
mitted a Subterfuge in locating
the duke. He finally decided to
rank him between his youngest
brother, the Duke of Kent, and
his uncle, Prince Arthur OF Con-
naught.
Inc decision Was HldNV oAVSA
the editor took look at the ban
ners in st. Georges chapel at
Windsor Castle, where the pen
mons of the Knights of the Garter
are hung.
FLAG GIVES CLUE
There the flag of the former
king had been removed beyond
that Of the Duke of Kent, giving
the handbook a precedent.
All reference books in their 1888
editions will give his full names,
titles and orders, but will briefly
dismiss the fact that he once was
king and abdicated.
The terse sentence revealing
one Of Britain's most dramatic
episodes will say of the duke:
