City PrOsecutes
ViOlatOrS of
Peddling Laws

For years the city council has
been trying to. rid the city of pedd-
ling nuisance. House-to-house can
vassers have been complained OF
with great regularity for years and
years. Ordinances have been pass
ed and cancelled and repassed. This
administration had a new one drawn
and is attempting to enforce it.
Up to just recently the citv has
been successful in collecting Ii
cense money from quite number,
but ran into a snag last week. One
firm has decided to carry the mat
ter into court. The trial will be
held in the local court Saturday of
this week.
If the peddlers lose, it Is likely
the matter will be carried to high
er courts, in which case the council
will pass new regulations, based on
the findings of the court. The city
needs the revenue and is determin-
ed to make the transient merchants
do their share toward financing the
city'S activities If possible.

dition of an index service which
lists all kinds of free pamphlets on
books and display materials. which
are put out by the government and
industrial concerns. Miss Hazel
Burdette, school librarian. states
that parents desiring material along
some line might ask their children
to inquire at the library for the tt
ties and addresses of these free
pamphlets from which material may
be obtained. She also states that q
large supply of magazines have been
subscribed for to supplement text
material on present current prob
lens. One of the latest was the
purchasing of the set Of 1887 edl-
ton of American Encyclopedia last

To be on Sale Monday

The first football game of the
season will be played here in the
Lions Den with Dayton on Friday,
September II. The business district
will be canvassed by students for
the selling Of season tickets. This
ticket, being sold for $3.50, will adj
NIT the owner to all home football
and basketball games.
The Dayton-Kennewick game
should prove very interesting as last
year was the first year the local boys
had defeated Dayton, with score
of 6 to Z. This years game shows
promise Of q toss up as several Of
the best players were lost on both
teams by graduation. The field is
said to be in excellent shape and the
boys are expecting a large crowd Of
fans to turn out for the game.
This Saturday, September II, the
boys are playing practice game
with the Sunnyside boys as these
two teams are not scheduled to
play this year.

Health Office to
Take Precautions
Against Paralysis
To Start Prophylactic
Measures in Schools to
Prevent Outbreak

To guard against a possible out
break Of infantile paralysis in this
district this year, County Health
Officer L. @. Spaulding has ordered
a prophylactic spray to be used in
all the schools in the county, start
ing next week.
Last year precautionary measures
were started little too late, DR..
Spaulding stated, and there were
several mild cases reported. Three
OF the cases were SO mild at the
time that medical attention was not
even given at the time OF the ILL
ness, but the disease showed I'D in
the paralyzing effects later in the
year.
Health authorities in Franklin
county are also taking the same
preventive measures in the schools
on that side Of the river and DR..
Spaulding is asking for q whole
hearted cooperation from the par
ents in this county.
Ane o1SeaS starts at this time of
the year. DR.. Spaulding says, and
can quickly whip up into epidemic
proportions. So far, however. he re-
ports no cases reported in this sec
ton OF the state and the department
Is exerting every effort to prevent
an outbreak Of the disease.
The disease is prevalent In wide
" separated sections Of the country
at the present time, schools in many
places being unopened for the fan
term for this reason.

KiWanians Hear
About Building
Huge Canal
Local Speaker Tells of
Engineering Problems
Met Digging Ditch

A very interesting description OF
the All-American canal was given
by H. E. Oliver at the regular XII
wants luncheon Tuesday noon. The
canal takes water from the Colora-
do river below Boulder Dam, trans
ports it in q huge ditch for more
than eighty miles to be used for IT,
rtgating the Imperial Valley In Cal
Nornia. A canal Is now being used
for that purpose. but It lies partly
In Mexico, and the new cutoff Is
built to avoid international diff
culties.
Mr.. Oliver told Of the engineering
difficulties which were overcome In
the building Of the huge ditch that
carries sixty times as much water as
the Kennewick main canal does
Ten miles Of the canal are con-
structed through huge sand dunes q
hundred and seventy five feet high
he said.
Another interesting development
In the construction Of this canal Is
the de-silting arrangements. The
Colorado carries much suspended
silt and q series Of settling basins
have been built to clean the water
before making its trip to the rich
Imperial Valley. The canal was
started in 1894 and is now about
three-fourths completed at q cost
Of $38, 000. 900.
The talk was listened to with q
great deal Of interest by members
OF the club. Next weeks meeting
will be devoted to q celebration OF
Constitution Week, an observance
which viii be held through the
country by the KiwaniS clubs.

freedom of the girls. as well as the
boys, in this chaperonless day. Every
mail brings its quota of letters from
protesting daughters and troubled
mothers on the subject of whether
Oracle, who is still in school. may be
free to 60 with this boy or that one.
wherever it may be that all the other
girls and boys are going. and stay out
as long as the others do. Schoolgirls
constantly ask me to write something
so that their mothers can see just how
behind the times their old-fashioned
notions are in the world of today. and
stop making fuss about letting them
do what they please.
To these daughters there is very
little l can say, because usually the
facts are that they are not ready to
become the guardians of their own
futures. Their sagacity is pretense and
their emotional control is easily upset.
1t seems to me that blame for the stu
alton of youth-out -of-hand rests. in
many cases, on mothers. Too often
modern emancipated mothers have,
in their own pursuit of interests out
side their homes, overlooked the chance
to make the appeal of home strong
enough to meet the competition of the
