PLAYING WITH MATCHES

Now and then we read of a trag-
edy in which lives were lost, or per-
sons seriously burned and property
destroyed, though children playing
with matches. The first thought
that arises IS that hte parents have
failed to teach that child the mean
ing Of safety, first" But the real
censure belongs on the shoulders of
the person who leaves matches
where children can get hold of
them. And yet, children are not
alone in playing with matches. !"
Many grown people light them, use
them and then carelessly toss them
aside as though all danger from
them had passed. Recently a smok-
er in one Of the larger cities of this
state dropped a match he thought
was extinguished into a waste baS-
ket and two hours later he had
burned down the plant in which he
worked, and thrown himself and
several hundred others out of en-
ployment. We want no serious fire
loss in Kennewick this year, so let's
be extremely careful where we toss
our matches when they have served
their purpose.

SMALL TOWN STUFF.

Put out the lights in the farm
houses and the small towns of this
country and Broadway, New York,
would soon be as dark as pitch.
That Is because the money which
makes Broadway's lights possible
comes from outside of New York.
The big city resident does a lot of
talking about "small town stuff
and yet he is always eager to head
his auto toward the small town
where he knows he will find hospi-
tally, good, wholesome food, clean
air and noiseless sleep. He knows
he will find the one thing the city
lacks to make it worth living in
friendliness and a regard for ones
fellowman. So more and more each
year toward the small towns the big
city autos are headed, carrying the
sons and daughters of men who or
iginilly came from such places. For
after all it was small-town men who
made the city possible, and small
town men who still are largely re-
sponsible for their prosperity.

RED FLANNEL DAYS

sell 20 yards of silk for one dress.
Now woman buys three yards and
considers that more than enough.
Then there were only three or four
shades of silk; now there are hun
dreds. The men of fifty years ago
were superstitious in the matter of
what they wore. In winter it had
to be red flannel underwear and

could be induced to wear white

\ GOOD EXAMPLE

A GOOD EXAMPLE
When one town sets other towns
a good example, then the town
which does so is entitled to little
free publicity and the other towns
are entitled to profit by following
that example. The latest instance
is offered by the town Of Fulton,
Mo, and its people are to be con-
graduated upon the development of
a sound idea, one that the residents
of Kennewick might do well to
take advantage Of through work
ing out q similar program.
AS a nation we are lacking In the
common courtesies that prevailed
among the older generations. We
have either forgotten how to be po-
lite or we do not take the time to do
so. Nowhere is this growing lack
of courtesy more evident than be-
hind the steering wheel Of an au-
tomobile. A large percentage of
the highway accidents are due to
this lack of consideration for 9TH
er people, and all the propaganda
turned out does not seem to make
us any more polite on the road.
Since they can't change the oldsters,
Fulton citizens believe it will pay in
the years to come to concentrate on
the youngsters, SO each year four
cash prizes are awarded the four
children adjudged by a committee
of local citizens to have been the
most polite and courteous in the
community during the year. Since
every child in town is anxious to
win the coveted honor, as well as
the cash prize, the, the result on the
general politeness and courtesy Of
the town can easily be Imagined.
The example is passed on for
what it is worth, but it is Of inter-
est to note in passing that the
children who win the prizes each
year are those who are taught
courtesy and politeness by their par
ents in their own homes. That Is
the place for such lessons, and par
ents are the best teachers. But in
more recent years both the homes
and the parents have been some
what lax. Maybe the example set
by the Missouri town will go far
toward remedying this.

VANISHING HIRED HANDS

It has not been so very many
years ago that practically every
farm home of any consequence
around Kennewick had its hired
man. He was not regarded as paid
laborer: he was a fixture and could
be taken into confidence as rapid
ly as any other member of the fam
lily. He seldom proved to be a
"floater." He came out of the no.
where, and no one cared about his
past. He was content with board
and lodging and a little money now
and them for chewing tobacco and
a change of shirt and socks. He was
jack of all trades, could fix any
thing that went wrong about the
farm, and was an indispensable
member of the family.
Times have changed. The hired
man as he was once known and
cherished has been melting into OBJ
livion, and there is vast difference
between him and the farm laborer
of today. Today's farm hand gen.
orally migrates with the season; he
isn't content to spend his life in
the employ of one family. Today he
is nothing more than a man work.
ing for wages-and always as high
wages as he can get. ,
The old-time hired man has sue
cumbed to the lure of the city. He
couldn't resist the dream Of big sal
aries and wages and the fascinating
life Of the city. If he has found
happiness there, all right. But
when he left he took away from
the farm a lot of sentiment and
happiness that can't be put back
by the hired man of the present day.

Prime Minister of Great Britain, his
policies in world affairs will COM
mand greater respect in Berlin be-
cause it will be evident that the dem
ocratic doctrine he speaks Is fully
concurred in by the people on this
side of the Atlantic.
Why then did Anthony Eden come
to America? To involve the United
States? Not at all. He came un-
doubtedly to articulate loud enough
and clearly enough for the mis-
guided rulers of Germany to hear
and read that the. American democ-
racy and the British democracy and
the French democracy have not lost
their idealism of 20 years ago and
that If there are any skeptics in
Berlin they might get copies of the
newspapers of the United States
and read the fortnight expressions
of approval which have greeted the
man who wants the world to be alert
to the dangers and perils which beset
democracy today.

by the same hand and to have fallen
from the same lips. AS things go
In diplomacy, the coincidence in
both time and tone will not be lost
on those quarters at which Eden
and Hull b$fled their respective
broadsides. following by less than
a month the signature of the Anglo
American trade pact, this meeting
OF minds on the totalitarian chal-
lenge to democracy is an event of
undeniable significance. Capt. Eden
had his maiden experience with the
razzing propensities of an American
audience, when he protested to the
Waldorf Astoria banqueters that his
visit is not even "one-sixteenth part"
Official. The handsome young states
man is no longer member of the
British government, but Viscount
Halifax, who succeeded Eden at the
foreign office, went out of his way
to state that the man who, many
think, may be the next Prime Min
lister Of Great Britain crossed the
Atlantic with something more than
the disinterested blessings of his
maJesty's government.
1t may be taken as cast-iron fact
that nothing savoring of an Anglo
American alliance" against the die
tatorships, or against anybody or
anything else, is in the wind. But
the Roosevelt administration makes
no bones about admitting that while
the United States retains complete
freedom of action in all interna-
tional concerns of the moment-Eu-
ropean or Asiatic-we are pursuing
parallel purposes" with the British.
What this means is that London
and Washington, as Eden and Hull
have just proved, see eye to eye on
the menace Of the Berlin Rome axis
to free peoples everywhere, and that
their minds go along with each other
on Japan's program to bang the
open door in China. Within these
limitations an Anglo-American &C
cord exists. It requires no parch-
ment formality to give it reality.
Mr.. Eden's National Press Club
address talk tomorrow will be off
the record. President Harold Bray
man expects the biggest crowd in
the clubs history. There are 1,1OO
resident members eligible to attend
and $50 non-residenters. AS the
seating capacity of the luncheon
auditorium is under 500, the pros
poets for a traffic jam are bright.
Admission is rigidly limited to N.
P. c. members. If local scribes want
to give the Adonis of Parliament a
homelike welcome, they'd better
brush up on how to chant "Hearl
Hear!" at him, instead of the GUS
tomary handclapping by which
Yankee audiences register their ap-
proval Of speaker.
