HICKS was born on Long Island,
N. Y, in 1748 and died in 1885.
OF him it is said
Just before his birth his father
united with the Society of Friends. or
Quakers. Elias says in his journal:
My father was considered a member
among Friends at the time of my birth,
which in that day gave me the privi-
lege Of taking wife in the order of
society, and that established my men,
bership, The order of marriage at
that time was as follows, if we may
Judge by the recollections of an aged
Friend, who formerly belonged to the
New England Yearly Meeting; The
contracting parties appeared in a
monthly meeting of the society and
said: With Divine permission and
Friends appreciation, I intend mar
riage with - - Each repeated
the same form. Committees we're
appointed to see whether they had
the consent of surviving parents, and
whether they were clear of other en-
gagementS, These reporting favor
ably, the two espousing Friends again
appeared in a monthly meeting to
receive their answer These two
occasions were more trying than the
public marriage, for, as Friends busi-
ness meetings were (and still are
almost universally held by men and
women separately, the parties had
/ first to go into the mems meeting and
then into the women's, almost entirely
alone. Soon after, the marriage was
held in a meeting open to the public,
I and the said William Evans Ito bor-
row names, taking the said Mary
Wright by the hand, did on that
solemn occasion publicly declare that
! he took her the said Mary Wright, to
| be his wife, promising, with Divine
| assistance, to be unto her a faithful
/ and affectionate husband until death
/ did them part The promise of the
wife was an equal one. The two then
! signed the certificate, she, after the
custom Of marriage, taking the name
of her husband; and it was then free
for all present to sign it"
IN HIS twenty-second year, Elias
having to use his own quaint
language, gained an intimate &C

THE prune crop Of the world took
turn for the worse last year
when production dropped off nearly
100000 tons. During the year $4,000
tons were produced, and while this
was far below the 1885 total, it was
only about per cent under a five

LIE WAS in every way valuable
citizen and among his activities
held memberships in the Cosmos and
Rotary clubs, the West End and
Cathedral Heights Citizens asSocla-
tions, and it goes without saying that
he was a member of the Society of
Friends. Before coming to Washing
ton he served four years as an instruc-
tor in the public schools of Maryland
and three years in the Friends School
of Baltimore. On June %, 1887, he
married Frances M. Haldeman, who
proved of great assistance to him in
his life's work When Mr.. Sidwell
died last year, The Star said OF him
editorially:
Hundreds Of Washingtonians join
today to mourn the passing OF Thomas
w. SidWel. No other American teach
er of his generation was more notably
qualified to bear comparison with the
gentle Mr. Chips of James Hilton's
beautiful story. He was TO the Nations
Capital a living example OF all that
good and great mentor Of youth should
be, and his influence was by no means
limited to the children of the COM
munity. A helpful neighbor, he shared
in all manner of constructive causes
and social movements. His energies
were tireless, his idealism was noble
and pure, yet intensely and always ef-
fectively practical.
The doctrine of Mr.. SidWell'S whole
career was summarized in the state
ment of purpose which he sponsored
for the Friends School when 1t was
established in 1888: To stress simpll-
ity, sincerity and friendliness. But he
did not preach. Rather, twas his choice
to perSonify the virtues in which he
believed Consciously, deliberately, in
tensively, he lived his faith Of freedom,
tolerance and love. He learned by do

PASTOR SURPRISED

On Sunday evening the members
of the Bethlehem Lutheran church
gathered very quietly about their
parsonage to surprise their pastor
and his family, the occasion being
the 18th wedding anniversary of
Rev. and Mrs. M. G. Kauth.
When Rev. Kauth stepped out OF
his front door to conduct the usual
Sunday evening Bible class he was
quite astonished to see so many
cars assembled for Bible class but
was soon informed that this was a
surprise party arranged for him
and his family.
The congregation crowded, as well
as could be done, into the school
house, where Revs. Maier and
Schmidt of Walla Walla, Rev. l..
Krug of White Bluffs and Rev. M.
Juengel of Prosser and Mr.. Theo
Reese, president of the local con-
gregation, addressed brief congrat-
ulatory remarks to the pastor and
his wife. After Rev. Kauth respond
ed, the many beautiful and useful
presents were opened. A social
gathering followed in which re-
freshments were served.
Rev. Kauth and his wife were
married in Clifford, Idaho, in 1922
and came to Kennewick in April
1924 where they have since resided.

"Mortals and Immortals" will be
the subject Of the Lesson-Sermon in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, November IA.
The Golden Text will be from Gal.
AS, Z Because ye are sons, God
hath sent forth the Spirit Of his Son
into your hearts crying, Abba,
Father. Therefore thou art no more
a servant, but son; and If a son,
then an heir through Christ"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible: Luke 1854
"And he put them all out, and took
her by the hand, and called, saying,
Maid, arise, And her spirit came
again, and she arose straightway,
and he commanded to give her meat.
The Lesson-Sermon also will in
clude passages from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and Heal
tn with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy, among which is
the following, page 200 MAN,
being immortal, has a perfect in
destructible life."

Orphan Chicks Best

Raise your day-old chicks away
from home, If you want them to
grow up to be healthy layers, is
the advice Of Ohio research poultry
men. Isolation of young chicks from
older birds, but allowing them use
Of range on the experiment station
farm, resulted in a mortality rate
Of Sc per cent. In an adjoining pen,
other pullets, Matched from station
eggs but which had been grown to
laying age away from the station,
had mortality rate of only "a per
cent. This experiment caused the
Ohio scientists to point out "the
need for new phase of specializa-
ton in poultry raising, the produc-
ton of ivable ready-to-lay pullets.
The brooding of chicks and the
growth of pullets in the future may
largely become commercial en-
terprise in the hands of specialists. 4"

Needed More Moisture

As far back as 1880 Benjamin
Franklin, realizing the need Of more
moisture in heated homes, included
a crude evaporator pan in his IA
NOUS "Franklin stove" A century
later Joseph McCreary Of Toledo,
Ohio, patented an air washer and
cooler, and in 1905 two engineers,
working independently, developed
mechanisms for the automatic con-
troll of humidity in the air. At the
turn Of the century the goal Of re-
searchers was the development Of
machinery for giving the proper de-
gree of moisture in cotton textile
plants and other factories where
humidity affected production, but
shortly thereafter 1t was discovered
that space could be chilled for hui
man comfort.

DANGER DON'T

Speaking Of colds, especially
among babies and young children.
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director OF the State
Department Of Health, cautions
mother against following the advice
of neighbors or friends with regard
to the use of "cures" or methods of
treatment. He warns specially again
st the widespread use Of oil drops in
babys nose. 1t Is a dangerous
custom, he said, and has been found
to have very serious after-effects. In
some instances, the indiscriminate
use of such drops has brought on a
certain form of pneumonia that Is
particularly fatal to young children.
Oil nose drops should never be used
for young children, he added, unless
that method of treatment Is specific
ally ordered by the child's phsician.
Here is DR.. Rileys explanation Of
the warming: 'In small baby the
nasal passages are very short and 1t
is quite easy for oily fluids put into
the nose of such an infant to get
down into the lungs. Oil Is not abb
sorbed in the nose and therefore
gradually seeps downward. In the
lungs the oil sets up an irritation and
produces a certain variety Of pneu-
monia. The disease develops slow
ly and the harm is often done before
the trouble is discovered. This kind
of pneumonia does not yield to the
usual form of treatment. Reports
from different parts of the country
show that it has been responsible for
many deaths. In most every case
careful inquiry has shown that oil
drops had been used.
Many manufacturers of nose drops
have realized the seriousness Of the
situation and have printed instruc-
tions on the labels of their products
not to use oil nose drops in children
under two years old, unless prescribe
ed by physician. Most hospitals
and dispensaries now make it rule
never to order such treatment for
young infants. 1t is important, how
ever, for mothers themselves to un-
derstand about the danger SO that
they will avoid using nose drops ex-
cept under doctors orders and dir
ection.
The best plan for any mother to
follow in order that she may safe
guard her baby from avoidable sick
ness is to have the baby inspected
at regular intervals by the family
physician and to call him promptly
between-times whenever symptoms Of
illness show themselves.
