This is novel that its author pro-
claims to be the romance of Peggy Ship
pen and Major John Andre. For nearly
a century and a half writes Mr.. Haines
in foreword. "the story of the great
personal tragedy of the American Reyo-
lution has remained hidden in the vague
and mysterious mists of the past. Here
in these pages the curtain is raised for
the nrst time and we see the mighty
drama enacted in which Peggy Shipr.n,
the young fascinating and beautiful
wife of Benedict Arnold, played the part
OF the leading lady,,
More than a quarter of a century of
palnstaking and exhaustive research
has preceded the writing of the novel,

the political intrigue. the brilliant social
actlVltles and the thunder of warfare

illrtatlous belle, dancing, laughing play

her participation in the intrigue as an
agent OF the King is thrilling reading,

ner place of obscurity as the unfortunate
but innocent and devoted wife of the
arch-traitor Arnold she emerges to Join
tne famous women of history to be-
come the most outstanding figure in
the dramatic story of our Nations strug-
gle Tor independence" does not very ef-

There can be no doubt that many
years OF earnest endeavor were required
to make an analytical study and inter-
pretation of what transpired" and to
gather from letters, documents and other
authentic data" materials that have been
combined to make this q noble effort to
present the fascinating Peggy Shippen
as one OF the great women of his
tory But what the sincerely sympa-
thetic and studious reader would like

The PIT. A. carnival given at Il

The PIT. A. carnival given at the
school last week was principally to
raise money with which to build q
fence along the ditchbank adjacent
to the grade school building. Appar-
emily this Is q dangerous hazard for
the kiddies. especially since the kin
dergarten has been started there
The completion of the fence will
allay many q mothers unexpressed
dread against her children tumb-
ling into the water.
However, it seems that another
serious hazard is being overlooked
Possibly no other spot on Kenne-
wick's streets Is there so congested
a spot Of traffic as at the bridge
crossing at the corner Of the school
grounds. More people pass and re-
pass that spot than any other by
large number. There is a SER
ious danger every day there of a
traffic accident. The solution is the
footbridge across the canal at the
head of Everett street. Sooner or
later this will have to be built and
the sooner 1t Is done the less chance
there will be of an accident.

IMPATIENT DRIVERS

One of the most outstanding facts
about auto driving is the excited,
nervous and impatient way q lot
Of people drive. You will often see
a man tearing through the street,
and then stopping suddenly to park
his car, after which he doesn't seem
to be in any particular hurry and
apparently no special place to 60.
No reason will appear as to why
he was in such haste Yet he made
people jump and forced other dri-
vers to give the right-of-way that
fairly belonged to them. This type
of driver, the impatient driver, is
difficult to control because there
are so many of them. If there was
a law with heavy penalties for such
driving there would be a wide pro-
test. But the time is sure to come
when the public will see the folly
and the danger Of permitting such
driving and steps will be taken to
stop 1t. No man is justified in get
ting into such hurry that he has
to endanger the lives of his fellow
men.

When and if the Columbia River
highway comes down our main
street, it will become necessary for
the city to adopt the parallel park
ing plan. Until that time, however,
We are glad the council didn't insist
upon that idea when they revamp-
ed the city's traffic laws some little
time ago. After seeing the exper-
fences of our sister city across the
river, we believe the double park
ing habits make for more traffic
danger than the restricted traffic
lanes provided by the angle park
ing. For a hick town, the angle
parking seems to be the best-it's
less trouble, on the whole and Is
quicker, certainly. And while we're
on the subject of traffic, wonder
why the city doesn't take down
those two-hour parking signs.

So that is, in all possibility, the
reason why we have this beautiful
holiday, and one of the reasons why
we observe it. It affords an oppor-
tunity to soften such memories by q
display of genuine love and thought
fulness for the most noble, faith
full, loyal and sacrificing friend a
boy can have-his Mother.
If she is in health and near
enough for you to be with her this
Mothers Day spend the day in low
ing conversation and communion
with her. One day spent at her
side now when memories are about
all she treasures, will make amends
for those acts of thoughtlessness Of
earlier years. Ahead of her alone is
life's highway, and it is nearing
the shutdown for her. One smile
from you now will serve to light
that road for her as nothing else
can; one kiss from you would make
OF 1t the path to glory in her tired,
gindly, loving old heart. If she has
passed on to the end of that road,
lay some blossoms on her resting
place, or wear on this Mothers Day
as evidence that through the tur-
MOL and strifes of life, and in all
your wanderings you have forgot
ten the dearest creature who ever
had a part in your life.
But fortnight ago Kennewick
citizens raised their voices in
praise and bowed their heads In
humble observance of the resur-
rection. Then we honored Jesus
Christ, the savior of men. Now we
come to honor the mothers of men.
Join in, for your Mother was among
them. And If there has ever been
anyone approaching the Savior of
Men in all his glory and majesty,
and goodness and love it is Our
Mothers.

DO WE WANT COOPERATIVE7
During the past week, each family in Greenbelt
received letter from Cooperative Organizing
Committee. setting forth the terms condi tt ons

The Cooperative Organizing Committee was
elected last April for the purpose Of laying the
foundatio for the establi shment Of coopera tive
whereby the citizens Of Greenbelt may own and

record of this committee is Of devote on to the

development. It's members have given unst intingly

In the very future each Of us must be pre-

ccumendat1 ons OF our committee and assume owner

the bars to competing business organi zati ons.
Many there are who still believe that unrestri CT
ed competition will have the effect Of forcing
prices down whereas a monopoly. though owned
by the consumers themselves, will not necessarily
be conducive to low prices when the driving force
Of competition is removed. They feel that the
