Have a Heart

Every little while we have our toll
lines shot down. the last time being
mile and half south of Hanfnrd
on Saturday afternoon. Earlier in
the winter, olIr Yakima line was
shot two or three times within IS
days, and each time this was more
than forty miles from the office.
THINK!
Were both lines out at the same
time, and someone in need of a
doctor, or should some other en1er
gency occur, this could be serious.
Then, too, it Is expensive, and the
users pay the bill in the end.
We believe this is done largely by
boys out hunting. We will appre-
ciate it if parents will caution their
children against this practice Of
shooting lines and i1lsulators; it's

HIGH TRIBUNAL NOT LIBERAL.
SAYS SEATTLE MAN I'M
REPLY TO EDITOR

presents une following BETTER, en-
deayoring to Justify the President
in his move to create q subselwient
Supreme Court. We shall, of course,
reply to this article, perhaps next
week. 1t is well written and ably
argued. We congratulate the writ
er. We only wish that more Of our
good readers would eviace as active
an interest IN current affairs.
Il r
Dear Editor: Your editorial re-
garding t'the Presidents move to-
ward the chief executives control
of the Supreme Court impressed
me as as defmlite an opinion as I
could ever expect to read. I only
hope your deaniteness was achieved
after careful and considerable DELHI
GRAFTON.
1t is not my purpose to rudely in
tenfere with your opinions; ON the
contrary, congratulate you for be-
ing able to draw definite and CON-
else conclusions And effectively to
express them. perhaps there should
be more editors.) 1t would. how
ever, be extremely disappointing
should any one reader he SO glllibae
as to Swallow" one mans opinion.
MY purpose Is, u you will kindly
permit, to comment un your con-
yincing editorial.
Whether it is hoped by most Of
us" that the Presidents move to-
ward the stated end will prove oda-
ly gesture to axpease the radical
element Of his party is quite doubt
ful. Not doubtful, however, accord:
5ing tos lmnst, of the nations neWslaa7s
pers. Leading the pack, of course,
is Hearst ALL are out to spike FIRES
ident Rusewelt's proposal to In
crease the size Of the Supreme
court. 1t was indeed pitNul to writ
ness eighty-fve percent OF the
country's newspapers unite ina mis-
erab1y unsuccessful attempt to talrn
Roosevelt from the White House.
The result brought amusing re-
sponses: Mr.. Hearst saw a great
light and, after all, he says, WHO
was he to buck the will Of the AM
erican people in whom he had such
Unbounded confidence; the New
york American said 'Tlae only
states that chung to the American
ideals were Maine and verrnoaat--
the other states went overheard for
socialism" My sincere desire IS
that the unification of the many
newspapers ever the nation will
meet similar results in their new
attempt. I shall Justify my position
by reference to the Supreme Courts
stand during our strerent" crisis.
VIE are ali familiar with the MIRA
which had, as its general purposes
the raising of payrolis through the
elimination of sweat shop wage con-
ditiorls, Through balancing increased
efficiency with shorter hours 50 as
to decrease unemployment, coord-
mating and controlling business
activity so as to create a freer and
more stable flow of purchasing pow
er. That the plan was successful
until May 9th, 1885, when it was
invalidated by the Schechter Poul-
try decision, is evident from the
fact that, thereafter, practically the
same set-up was adopted by some
industries Other employers still
viewed the way clear for securing
selfish attachments and implicitly
thanked the members of our highest
tribunal for their remarkable de-
cision which upheld American l.
deals" established by the trainers
of the Constitution.

parole board to fifteen members, all
members to be paid a stated annual
salary an added expense not justi-

Cole particularly was considered a
desperate character, ready to
"shoot it out" under any circum-
stance.
Aware that other convicts may
be emboldened to follow the ex-
ample of the missing pair, Johns
ton held all guards on duty. He
confined the most desperate felonS
to their cells for questioning and
to prevent disturbances such as
the recent "sit-down" strike when
he was attacked by an inmate.

popular with the inmates and Is
not regarded as likely to have
given aid in an escape plot.
San Francisco police were
wrathful over the failure Of AL
catraz authorities to notify them
of the escape for nearly two hours
during which time, one official
asserted, "the pair could have
reached the mainland and diSap-
peared."
Police said the convicts vanished
before 1:30 and the San Francisco
department was not notified un-
til after 3 p. m.-and then by the
newspapers. The first police tele-
type message of the escape was
sent through the State at 1925

Federal Government at Alca-

the heaviest fogs of the year.
If they did not receive actual
aid from fellow inmates, they GER
tainly received negative coopera-
tion from convlctS who gave no
outcry, officials pointed out.
Fifty convicts who worked in the
vicinity of the machine shop build
ing, together with guards on duty,
were among those questioned.
Copies of mail received by Cole

for those cities. namely, Cincinnati,
Cleveland. Minneapolis, San Fran
cisco and Seattle.
Prevailing opinion quoted in the
report is that increased costs have
hit the building of small homes hard
est. The prospective builder Of
higher-priced home is affected more
or less temporarilv-he either raises
more money eventually or decides to
take less house for his money" states
one observer quoted in the report.
But the necessary boost of $500 to
$500 In the price Of small home
has the effect OF putting out Of the
prospect class numerous families Of
modest income who were formerly
potential buyers. Contra ctors in many
localities report that it Is already
difficult to build even a small modern
house for under $4,000"
Many speculative builders are out
Of the market, according to the report,
having Cancelled earlier plans for an
active building year Many residential
contractors are ceaslng contract work
In July. declaring that for the imme-
diate future at least they will under
take new construction only on a cost
plus basis, with the buver taking the
risk of wage and material boosts.
Many Jobs Lost.
Architects and contractors report
the loss of many jobs previously con-
templated. when cost figures are pre-
eented out of 33 residential Jobs
figured in the last 80 days, only
three are going ahead" is a typical
comment from Minneapolis building
contractor.
In 1s OF the 80 cities reporting In
the survey, however. home building
has been affected little or none by the
rise in costs. One Of the bright spots
OF the situation Is that considerable
prospective new construction money
has been diverted into the purchase
and improvement Of older houses; the
floating supply OF distress property
left by the depression has been practi-
cally cleaned up in many cities.
Some observers point out that sheer
pressure OF housing needs will event.
ually force resumption of building
operations, regardless of higher costs.
Builders here estimate that fully so
per cent of contemplated new con-
struction has been held up, and many
plans to build have been abandoned.
declares Seattle loan and appraisal
company after checking with various
other sources. Many builders now
operating have informed our loan
solicitors that they expect to cease
building, at least temporarily, after
they have completed the houses now
under construction, However, pressure
for residential space will continue to
increase; this points to resumption
OF building eventually, irrespective Of
increased costs"

room. Now . gentle shove Is more
the vogue and you can hardly hear
the devices In operation.
Another advance has been made
which makes us wonder why it wasn't
thought Of or done long ago. We
refer to the use Of q large pedestal
arrangement to put the fan up out
Of direct line with the poor people
seeking relief from the heat. These
pedestals add very little to the cost
OF the fan, but add a tremendous
amount to their maneuverability.
You don't have to worry about the
children getting themselves cut into
small bits, because the fan is up out
OF harms way, and then again you
don't have to disturb furniture or
decorations.
The chromium-p plated tubing which
constitutes the fan stand is attractive
and is adjustable for from about 4 to
7 feet from the floor. In the top
notch position you will be able to
relax near the fan and have a pleas
ant circulation Of air about you with
out the danger or discomfort Of a
direct blast.
THAT space between the bathtub
and the wall is one of the most
difficult spots to make watertieht.
We aren't referring to the space exist
ing between old-fashioned bathtubs
and walls, OF course. but more to the
supposedly flush, built-in kind. If you
have shower installed over a tub of
that sort the chances are that you
have had trouble with water leaking
