The boys?" Isabelle's voice was faint.
"Wally, Cliff and Ken and the rest of the
gang" Kay explained, as if Isabelle we're no
longer the ideal of each of the gentlemen
named. my mother met Wally's mother at
market this morning, and she said Wally had
telegaphed they were coming home because
the fishing is bad, they're all sick of their own
cooking and the insects are eating them alive
when they aren't eating the insects"
1--WE thought" Susie said, 1T would be
rather nice if we girls got together and put on
a casual little brawl at the country club for
them"
How amusing" Isabelle mummed. "I'd
love to be there" Her look dared them to
suggest again Jim Rainey's being there with
her.
Everything was blurred panic to her now.
How had she ever gotten herself into this,
this why, this was verging on disaster!
Kay and Susie would certainly lose no time
in spreading their vile version of things to
every girl in town, and it would be the first
thing they'd tell the boys, even before they
said, Hello, did you have a good time?" Well,
Isabelle would be the first to get to the club
tomorrow night and she'd spike that one gun
by telling her own version first. She'd have
one worked out by then. AS for her date with
Jim Rainey, she'd have to break it.

TorHER CRUSADE

The action of the women OF Viz
ginia in sounding a battle-cry OF
freedom against unsightly billboards
along motor highways gives promise
of developing into great national
crusade, and before the summer Is
over you need not be surprised to
find the women of Kennewick en-
listed In the fight. They declare
that the signs not only mar the
natural beauty Of miles upon miles
of highway, but that quite often
they set up serious hazard by at
tracing the attention Of a motor
list at the very second his whole at
tention should be devoted to the
road ahead. In their fight for laws
that will sweep away the objection
able signs with which practically
every highway is now cluttered they
have the support of thousands OF
motorists who feel just as they do
about it. Heartened by this support
they are lining up for battle, and
Virginia's legislative halls will be
the battle-ground. It will be bat
tie, too, that will be watched with
deep interest in every part Of the
country.

WASTE IN THE AIR

w no = 44N i AZ x1A4V
With the destruction Of the dirig-
ible Hindenburg still fresh in every
ones mind, it will surprise many
to learn that Germany has already
started laying out the framework OF
another giant aircraft exactly like
it. The first to enter the lighter
than-air field, Germany proposes to
stick to it, cost what it may. After
Uncle Sans sad experience with
zeppelins, however, they are looked
upon here in an entirely different
light, and this country has ceased
to build them. Mankind advances
by the trial and error method, and
maybe some day Germany will
make q dirigible as safe from calam-
tiles as the modern ocean-going
liners. But the average American,
who pays the taxes and fo0ts the
bills for such experiments is not at
this time willing to have any more
of his money spent on them. He
considers the building of dirigible
airships waste of money and he
sees their operation so far as a ter
rible waste of human life. So Ger
many can, 1t appears, count on very
little opposition from this country
in that branch of flying field for a
long time to come.

USING SIGNALS

National safety experts In con-
vention at Chicago recently express
ed the belief that q large proportion
Of auto accidents could be prevent
ed If drivers would adhere more
strictly to the use Of hand-signals.
The system Of hand-signalling is no
doubt familiar to every motorist In
Kennewick. If he Is not acquainted
with their use and meaning then he
has no business driving q car. The
same holds true with those who are
familiar with hand signals, but who
still refuse to use them. The man
behind can't read your mind. He
has no means Of knowing what you
intend to do unless you signal that
intention. If you make turn or
sudden stop without first indicating
your intention by a hand signal,
then you are to b lame for the SER
ious results that are likely to fol-
low. Use hand signals all the time,
wherever you are driving. It is. the
safety experts say, your greatest
protection.

LAND OF OPPORTUNITY


It's not unusual to hear the grow
ing Kennewick boy complain Of
lack of opportunity in this coun-
try, and that a. fellow has to have
money or "a pull to get on In the
world. Parents Of boys who make
such statements now have an ex-
cellent chance to disabuse their
minds of such belief.
Point out to them the case Of
William Knudson, who was chosen
president Of the General Motors
Corporation just a few weeks ago.
Knudson came to this country 80
years ago, a poor emigrant boy,
with but $50 in his pocket and not
an acquaintance in the entire u.
S. But he had the determination to
! make something Of himself
the perseverance to stick by that
resolve He started in as an errand
boy, earning just enough each week
to pay for his board and clothes. He
spent his leisure hours studying in
free night schools and reading in
free libraries. Today he is at the
top. .-..- liz.
America is still the land of oppor-
tunity, and this latest evidence OF
that fact should be pointed out to
every boy who feels that it's not
There is still chance for success
| awaiting any boy who is honestly
determined to work for it, and will
ing to put the best of his life in
whatever he sets out to do. But
each must work out his own prob
lens. Success is to be gained in nc
other way. There is always room
in America for more Knudsens.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH

Speaking before an audience In
New York recently Clayton Rand,
famous advertising expert. uttered
these words of truth and wisdom:
There IS nothing in print that
has fireside appeal, influence or
pulling power like the hometown
newspaper. In the aggregate it Is
the greatest power in America. The
first line Of American defense Is
our army Of $4,000 hometown news
papers, and If the nation endures It
will be because these hometown
papers were kept strong, and be-
cause in any hour Of peril they can
be depended upon to carry the word
of warning to the people that the
enemy is within our gates. While
the metropolitan press is still the
great reflector of public thought
and opinion, the crossroads press OF
America is still the motor OF 1t,
and still Americas greatest safe
guard against enemies, both within
and without her boundary lines.

AIDING CRIME

AIDING CRIME
It is generally understood that
the people Of this country expect
their officers to rigidly enforce the
law. However, many are today do
ing everything in their power to
break down the work Of jnries and
judges. Through petitions and po-
ntical pressure thieves and murder
ers are being turned loose every day
to prey on their sentimental bene-
factors, and the parole laws Of this
country have become little more
than a sham. Far more than one
half Of the criminals now being
arrested are found, on investigation,
to have been guilty Of earlier crimes
and to have gained their liberty thru
parole. It is not often that the cit
liens Of Kennewick are asked to at
tach their names to q petition for
parole, but when they are It would
be q good idea for them to weigh
the matter carefully. Sentiment is
q fine thing. but sentiment becomes
dangerous II It leads to the release
Of still another menace to the peace
and welfare Of the general public.

NO LONGER AN ISSUE


This man Sebold who was pinch
hitting for us last week is fine
fellow and we like him. We like his
preaching, we like his style and
manner of presentation. In fact, we
like most things about him except
his politics. And, because OF his
training, we can even forgive him
that.
But we certainly can't agree with
him on political questions, especial
" on the supreme court PROPOSE
ton. In that double column edi-
torial he printed in this paper last
week land we gave him full permits
sion to do as he liked) there was
only one paragraph upon which we
see alike. He said: "A Democracy Is
a Government OF. FOR and BY
the people, ETC." That much is OK
For the rest of 1t, nunnnuh.
Sebold's editorial was lop-sided
attempt to bolster up his partisan
ship, probably an attempt to just
ify the big blunder the President
made in attempting to shove the
court proposition down the Threats
Of the American people. That 1t
was q blunder, there is no denying,
in the light Of the events Of the past
week or ten days.
You know, maybe the man didn't
really mean what he said, tho he
accuses the supreme court Of trying
to become dictators- instead of the
one man who apparently wants not
only congress to do his bidding, but
the supreme court as well.
The Presidents attitude reminds
one Of an umpire in q baseball game
who, wanting one side to win, makes
up rules to fit the occasion as the
game proceeds. He's the one who
wants to be the dictator, not the
court. The court has its book OF
rules, the constitution, and it mere
" acts as q referee in Interpreting
the rules. It has no aspirations to-
ward dictatorship, as has the Pres
ident.
Surely sebold was only kidding
US, for he used the phrase, "'join the
hooting crowd Of subsidized journal
lists who have been landing the re-
suits Of dictatorial government ever
since Mussolini came into power"
Subsidized, indeed!
In other words, we're not In ac-
cord with the editorial on the SUI
preme court issue as printed In this
paper last week, and we certainly
appreciate the "out" the Rev. Sc
bold gave US on his front page box.

SOVIET OF SEATTLE

People who come in contact with
conditions as they exist in Seattle
today, come away with feeling OF
incredulity. It really doesn't seem
possible that a city would permit
one man to dominate almost every
phase of their ordinary everyday
lives the way Dave Beck Is doing
with his unions in Seattle. There
is a strange apathy among the bus
inessmen there, too, which makes 1t
seem even more strange. They
seem to take the attitude that it is
only one more phase in city cor
rupt-ness which will sooner or later
wear itself out.
There is one way Of shaking
them out of their lethargy, however,
and that must come from us who
live In the sticks. II every person
who has been buying In Seattle
would say that as long as they per-
mitted conditions to go on as they
are now, we would absolutely quit

short time until they would do
something about 1t.
One or two local businessmen
have already taken that attitude
and they find a prompt response.
More Of them should exert the same
sort of pressure, not only in Kenne-
wick, but throughout all Of the
state.
The situation over there has .
distinct bearing on conditions on
this side of the mountains, or we
could well say Let the Seattle
Soviet go ahead, If they want to-"
But we can't do that-it's costing
us too much money in loss Of
crops, loss of markets and addition
al taxes and increased prices for
such as we buy.
All we can do about it is to exert
what pressure we can to get the
people Of Seattle aroused to what
it is doing to our state as q whole.

A WORD OF WARNING

"A WORD OF WAktNxN1
The time-honored family medi-
cine cabinet has become an insti-
tuition in this country. and we
dare say there are few II any homes
in Kennewick that do not boast
one. Since early days the medi-
cine cabinet has served well in safe
guarding health in the home. It
has been godsend in thousands Of
emergencies. And yet danger turks
in almost all of them.
Utmost care is used by the manu-
facturers of medicines containing
poisons, and druggists are also care
full in labelling bottles so there can
be no reasonable excuse for mis-
takes. But as soon as poisonous
medicines reach the home the safe
guards seem to break down. The
box or bottle is placed in the medi-
cine cabinet along with a conglom-
Grafton of other boxes and bottles.
Left where children Of the house,
hold can easily reach them, or
where an adult can get one by mis-
take while reaching for some harm
less box or bottle in the dark. Many
have been poisoned in this way.
The danger lurking in family
medicine cabinets haze become so
great that the U. S. Health Service
has issued warning in which it
declares that the average person
"messes up everything from COM
mon baking soda to bichloride OF
mercury tablets, despite the fact
that doctors have issued warnings
about the danger Of having poisons
in the home" So If poison Of any
kind must be kept in the house the
proper way is to see that it Is out
Of the reach of children. Equal
care should also be taken to see that
any medicine containing poison is
so placed that there will be no
danger of grown person mistaking
it for a harmless remedy.
