Considerable interest is being ex-
hibited throughout the state con-
corning the possible appointment of
our townsman, M. M. Moulton, to
the supreme bench. The first of the
month Judge Tolman's resignation
will take effect and Governor Mar
tin will appoint his successor Be-
cause of recent appointments from
other sections Of the state, it is pre-
dicted that this appointment will
fall to either southeastern or south
western Washington. Since the an
nouncement of the consideration Of
his name last week by the bar asso-
citation, many offers for support
have been received by Mr.. Moulton
Even in the event that the appoint
ment does not come here, it is q
source of pride to feel that a Ken
newick citizen has been seriously
considered for the position. We are
hoping strongly, of course. that the
governor will appoint Mr.. Moulton
as he is eminently fitted for the
position.

TWO PARK BENEFITS

Two benefits are being staged
this coming week for local projects.
Both should be well patronized for
the detectives and for the further
reason that patrons will get more
than their moneys worth from both
of them. The first one will be the
park benefit at the Valley club and
the other the donkey base ball game.
This, in way is also park bene-
fit, with the tennis courts the prin-
cipal objective. Everyone should
make special effort to attend both
functions. G -.
The Kiwanis club, which is spon-
soring the donkey baseball, has as
its primary objective helping under
privileged children. For ten years
and more this has been the clubs
real work. The application has
taken several angles, vocational
guidance, milk supply, hot lunches,
transportation to athletic events,
and so on. This time It's for the
completion of the tennis courts. The
effort should receive support.

OUT OF GAS

OUT OF GAS
There are $4,000 retail gas sta
tions in the United States, or
enough if uniformly placed to spot
station at an interval of every
mile of main-traveled highway. And
yet, according to a survey made by
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, more than 100000 motorists
tried to squeeze one too many miles
out of the last gallon in 1886 and
had to send back or walk back to
the nearest station for gas. It is so
easy to avoid running out of gas"
declares the A. A. A. that you would
not think so many drivers could get
caught in single years time. So
in hope of reducing the number
that may be caught in the same fix
in the future, we are going to tell
you how the A. A. A. says such a
condition can be avoided. It is a
simple suggestion. It is easy to COM
ply with, and it never fails to work.
1t is this: Always carry a quart bot
tie of gasoline under the drivers
seat or in the trunk of the car.

PElPlNG AGAIN Is
SCENE OF WARFARE
Ancient Capital of China
Again in Spotlight.

Washington, d. C.-Fighting IN
the Peiping area has again thrown
a world spotlight on the frequently
fought-over city, former capital OF
China and always a center OF IN
ternational interests.
"Peiping is still key to China s
foreign affairs" says the National
Geographic society. Its geo.
graphic location brings it into con-
tact with Japanese-controlled Man
chukuo on the northeast semi-inde-
pendent Tibetan provinces on the
west, and Russian-controlled Mon
polian republics on the northwest.
Foreign embassies and branch Oh
fees of foreign business firms give
il the greatest international impor-
lance north of the Yangtze river.
AS center of the Hopei-Chahar coun-
Gil, il is a focus for the independence
movement which has weakened ties
between North China and the CEN
trail government at Marking.
Stronghold Of Tradition.
'.In national affairs Peiping is
stronghold of tradition. Contrasting
with the present Chinese capital at
Marking, the northern metropolis
has had many reincarnations as
seat Of China's government under
such romance-freighted names as
Picking, Cambulac, and Purple Inn
perial City. Its Mandarin dialect,
the Partisan French of Chinese
speech, comes closer than any other
to being generally understood
throughout the nation.
"Peiping was the focus Of perhaps
the most widespread international
tension on Chinese record during
the anti-foreign Boxer uprising in
1900. when troops of several nations.
including the United States, were
landed and marched inland to res

TWO FOR ONE

It's no disgrace to copy the other
fellow if by doing so you can bet
ter yourself and the other fellow
too. No better Illustration of it can
be provided than in a regulation
now being strictly enforced in Ire
land which requires every citizen
cutting a tree to replant two in its
place. Older Kennewick citizens
who have in their lifetime seen the
slow, but certain destruction of this
country's timber supply, to endorse
Ireland's law Of replanting for the
future, will be quick to endorse Ire
lands law as the most sensible re-
forestation plan ever devised. Had
it been in force in this country over
the past quarter of a century Am
erica would not now be facing q
treeless era, costly annual floods
and an ever-increasing price on
lumber and all wood products.
Plant two trees every time you re-
move one. It works in Ireland-and
by the law of common sense it will
work over here.

YOUR EYES
There is a valuable suggestion in

There is valuable suggestion in
the report of a national association
of opticians to the effect that "Am-
orleans are going blind hunting for
eyeglass bargains" It is sugges-
ton everyone in or around Kenne-
wick who wears glasses, or expects
to, should ponder over. ~ r..
The opticians do not point out
that eyesight is the most valuable
of all the human senses; they take
it for granted that everyone knows
that. But they do stress the fact
that unless more care is taken in
the future in buying glasses than
has been shown in the past, America
will ventually become nation of
faulty-visioned citizens. Each year
finds greater percentage of the
population turning to eyeglasses and
each year, the opticians say, a
larger number of irresponsible per-
sons are travelling about the
country peddling cheap and harm

little value on their eyesight that
they are willing to gamble with it in
the hope Of saving few pennies.
Eyesight is something far too
precious to be neglected or ignored.
That eyeglasses are one Of man
kinds greatest blessings is fact
recognized by the millions who.
sooner or later, find it necessary to
turn to them for relief when vision
becomes faulty and blindness
threatens. But apparently there are
many thousands in this country who
have not yet realized that eyeglasses
can be either a blessing or men,
ace. Taking chances on an UNI
known and irresponsible peddler
when eyesight your most precious
natural gifts at stake, is too much
like inviting someone to rob you of
your greatest earthly treasure, and
then paying them for doing so.

KEEP ON CANNING

Housewives around Kennewick
who have taken advantage Of the
midsummer months to can q sup
ply of fruit for winter consumption
are reminded that this year it will
be almost impossible to overdo the
job. All sorts Of canned fruits and
vegetables are higher now than they
were in early spring, and they will
go still higher by the time winter
sets in. The only way to escape
this increase will be to can an am
pie supply while fruits and vege-
tables are still available. Fall will
bring a brief season Of picking and
preserving and that, too, should be
taken advantage of. The present
price Of raw products for canning
may seem unusually high to the av-
erage housewife, but wait until a
little later on and then make a few
comparisons. Those who keep right
on canning, regardless of fruit and
vegetable prices will, it is safe to as
sert, have cause for rejoicing next
winter when they see all canned
products at the highest price they
have been for half-dozen years.

A LAND OF LAWS

81 No other nation on earth has as
many laws as American and, af-
cording to statistics, no other ma
ton is as lawless. Every year
year In and year out, 48 legislatures
In as many states meet and&Mact
new laws, and every year d na1lSnal
congress meets and does the same
thing,
What the average Kennewick tax
payer can't understand Is why Sc
many new laws are necessary, OF
would be necessary, If the old ones
were enforced. are not removed
from the statute books. Since the
cost Of law-making comes directly
out Of the pockets Of the taxpayers
then they certainly have a right to
ask such questions. Every newly
elected legislator goes to the state
capital, as a rule, with material for
. lot Of new laws tucked away in
his pocket or his head. Fortunately,
only q small percentage Of them
actually become laws. But at that
each legislative session sees big
bunch Of new ones placed on the
ever-mounting pile Of statute books,
and each year finds more and more
Of the old ones going unenforced.
There must be an answer some
where to the question Of the tax
payers who ask: "Why?" But hope
Of ever getting that question answer
ed constantly becomes more remote.
The making Of new laws and fall
ure to enforce the old ones goes
right on, world without end. And
the taxpayers Of the nation, rich or
poor, or little or big, go right on
footing the bill.

 New York, Dec. l6.-(UP)-Two professional football freshmen, Sam. my Baugh of the champion Wash- ington Redskins and 0aynell Tin- sley of the Chicago Cardinals, crashed their way Into the play for pay" hall of fame today by landing berths on the Nationals All.League first team selected by coaches of the 70 teams. M
 Besides Baugh, who virtually passed the Redskins to the league title and created c new record with 0l completed serials, Washington also landed two other stalwarts. Turk Edwards was named ct tackle for the fourth time since 1882, and cliff Battles, leading ground.gainer for the season, was chosen for the third time since 1883. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears were the only other teams to land more than one man on the team. The choice follows:
 Ends-Bill Hewitt, Philadelphia; 0aynell Tinsley, Cardinals.
 Tackles-Turk Edwards, Washing. ton; Joe stydahar, Chicago Bears,
 0uards-Ion Evans, Green Bay; George Musso, Bears.
 Center-Mel Hein, New York.
 Quarterback-Earl (Dutch) Clark, Detroit.
 fialfbacks--Cilff Battles and Sammy Baugh, Washington.
 Fullback-Clar Hinkle, Green Bay.
 Other newcomers to the 1887 All. league team in addition to Baugh and Tinsley were Etydahar who was on the second team last year, and Musso, who was Q first string tackle two years ago.
 An interesting feature of the vot. ing was the fact that Etydahar re- ceived 43 points, thre more than Clark, who as coach of the Lions did not vote for himself aS quarter. back. A vote for himself would have given Clark the point lead.
 This is Clark's sixth year on the All-league team. He missed only in 1883 when he coached Colorado col. lege, He!, ace center of the Giants, set 6 new record for consecutive years membership on the team re- civing 80 points to win the position for the fifth straight season.
