sumo her screen career after four
month vacation in New York"
All she did during that four month
vacation was play Mary Vetsera in
Anderson's "Masque Of Kings Every
night when Henry Hull, as Prince Ru-
dolph, became Hapsburgishly disillu-
stoned, it was Margos chore to wander
off-stage and shoot herself for love
gone wrong. But regardless of how
important it may have seemed to the
Theater Guild, Margo and those New
York audiences, it turns out to have
been just vacation in Hollywood's S
eyes!
F. DE S. MELCHER, who went to
Hollywood and became plain

GRADE SCHOOL NEWS
Friday of this last week was

Friday of this last week was a
most happy and eventful day for
the children of the primary grades,
for part of the time was devoted to
dyeing eggs in many gorgeous colors.
Later in the day the eggs myster-
iously disappeared to be found later
in the park and in the school yard
where the Dummies" had hidden
them. Some of the older children
had the pleasure of coloring their
eggs, but did not engage in hunt.
The marble tournaments are still
in progress in the sixth grade, with
Perry Strand holding the champ
ionship in Mr.. Parker's room and
Bobby Bergen holding first place in
Miss Lampson's room. The three
highest from each room met in a
play-off for places which resulted in
Perry Strand as winner with Bus
ter Faulds, Freddie Thompson,
Claude Shattuck, Billy Kirk and
Bobby Borgan holding the second to
sixth places respectively.
Under Mr.. Parker's leadership the
upper grades have begun training
in kittyball and track with many
young enthusiasts taking active
part. - ...-
!. The newly elected councilmen
working with Miss Mains to help in
maintaining law and order are:
Shirley Elder, Billy Campbell, Del
ma Billingsley, Dale Higley, Joan
Skinner, Charles Smith, Reta Lee,
Claude Shattuck, Adeline Peterson
and Dale Weinman. The new Off
GERS have been performing their
duties in a very creditable and con-
scientious manner.
The children in all of the class
rooms are striving industriously to
complete the required amount of
work for each of their grades in
these last few weeks before the close
of school. Some features of their
work in art and construction which
developed as an outgrowth to their
studies deserve special mention. Miss
Mains pupils proved their know
ledge of light houses by making
some very successful pictures Of

them. Those in Mr.. Parker's room
have completed their farm scenes
depicting the various modes of
farming in our country and in many
foreign lands. The study of the
different means of transportation in
Miss Poynter's class aroused con-
siderable interest in the construc-
ton Of boats in which several of
the children have engaged for an
extra activity. In Mrs. Hemenway's
room may be seen the sun-dried
brick and grass huts of the land
of little Black Sambo which some of
the children made while learning of
the houses of people Of other lands.
Miss Mueller's craftmen have fin
ished shingling the roof of their
modern American dwelling.
Many types of general art work
may also be seen on display. In Miss
Lyons room are some attractive
carcoal silhouettes and evidences of
the study of color harmony and its
application. The children of this
class have also chosen to line and
quilt the animal quilt pieced togeth-
er by the fourth grade last year.
Miss Lampson's art students have
made some very attractive crayon
studies of the surrounding hills by
applying the principles of shading.
With Floyd HutchinS as Gamer
man, the children of Miss Hecht-
ner's room had their pictures taken
in and around their fine big play
house. The class is now engaged in
making booklets.
Mrs. Hemenway complimented her
pupils following the six-week's test
on the large percentage of neat and
perfect papers in spelling. Delma
Duffy's history paper was voted
neatest and best.

A RECORD ECLIPSE

d.
At noon on June 8 far out in the
Pacific ocean, 1900 miles from any
land, the moon will completely cover
the sun for maximum duration Of
z minutes and 4 seconds. Extending
5000 miles across the ocean, it will
be the longest eclipse visible from
the earth In the past 1900 years. It
will not be visible here, however, nor
will anyone be able to see it from
any other section Of the u. s. In
fact, there are only two places from
which this eclipse may be observed.
These are located in the Phoenix Is
land, about 1873 miles southwest Of
Hawaii and from point about 81
600 miles northeast Of Australia. But
long before June astronomers and
scientists from America will be on
their way to those points, equipped
to make minute observations Of the
unusual event. For those Of us who
can't make the trip the movie
camera will have to serve. And II
all the claims being made for this
eclipse are true. 1t will be q picture
worth waiting for.

WE'RE LIVING LONGER

If there is any one thing Kenne-
wick people want to do more than
ANYTHING else it is to live to a ripe
old age. That is why everyone will
be interested in a report from the
Census Dept. to the effect that the
age of American citizens is gradual
ly being increased. Back in 1920, for
instance, SIG percent of the nations
population was 81 years of age or
older, while in 1885 it had jumped
to 61.5 percent.
Then, too, the number of per-
sons 70 years Of age or over has
been increased at a rate twice as
fast as our popular increase. That
means more people per 1000 now
reach the age of 70 than at any
time in the past. Most local citi-
zens can recall when man was
considered "old" when he reached
the fifty mark. Today the 50-year-
old man is considered still within
the prime of life. $50. -.t.
Just what this extension of life is
due to is matter of debate. Wheth-
er it is the result of more skilled
medical service, or more careful at
tention to body-care or with great
er attention to diet and exercies, it
is not possible to say. Perhaps it is
the result of all these things put
together. At any rate, it's the sort
of news every paper loves to print
and every reader loves to read
news to the effect that the average
age of American people is being ex-
tended at slow but certain pace.

YOUR ACTURAL VALUE

without regard to how much
money or property he may have, the
average Kennewick citizen is worth
only about CSC. That figure is de-
termined by measurements secured
from present-day market quotations.
and is divided as follows: There's
water enough in the average mans
body to fill small key; fat enough
for several bars of soap; iron enough
for a medium-size nail; sugar
enough to fill a teacup; lime enough
to whitewash chickencoop; phos-

Of magnesia; potassium enough to
explode toy cannon and sulphur
enough to rid a dog Of fleas. On to-
days market this entire collection
could be purchased for CSC. So no

he is, you are both on a par when

WHO PAYS FOR IT?

What is advertising? One form of
craftsmanship. -,'- S..
Purpose? to sell. ..-
Who pays for it?
John and Mary Public say they
do, indi1 ectly. liz. ,..
Solomon Isaac Business Man says
he knows too we'll that he pays for
advertising. y.. III.
But I say the customer does not
pay any advertising bill if the adj
vertising is effective, efficiently
done, run in the right medium at
the right time, and is, in every other
respect, right. -.-.-..
For when greater demand for
goods is created by advertising, more
goods can be manufactured in larg-
er quantities, and shelves restocked
at less cost per unit of production
per item of merchandise, in conse-
auence of that created demand,
either at less cost or with more quail
ity at the same cost-which amounts
TO the same CIlllS. ..'..'- .. ~.
There you have the theory of
mass production and quantity buy
ing packed together in pecan shell.
Yes, the merchant is sure he pays
the advertising cost. But I say he
does not, for the larger the volume
of business the retailer can do, the
less his percentage of overhead, OF
which advertising is but one of
many items required for $110 turn
over than for $4,000.
Well, if the customer doesn't pay
and the merchant doesn't pay for
advertising then, who does pay for
it?
Why, bless your souls! The truth
of the matter is that effective adj
vertising is self supporting, self
lquidating. Nobody pays for good
advertising, unless, if we must find
someone to pay for it, I guess it
comes pretty near being the non
advertising merchant who pays
and pays and pays-whoSe overhead
goes up as his sales volume goes
down-he and the mountaineering
customer who buys blind, fails to
read the ads and in consequence,
gets stuck with inferior, non-adver-
tised goods, at higher prices than he
need pay.
And there you have one answer
to the old, old question: Who pays
for effective advertising, in the final
analysis? Not the buyer Of advertis-
ed goods, not the merchant who sells
the goods and uses the advertising
space, but the non-advertiser who
fails to get the business and the
mountaineering public
