The Luck of the
Adelphiens
Bring Another Wedding
To Preacher jenkins
And Change The Subject
o. This Column
Telling About Tacomas
Jubilee, Too
VOU just can't beat these Adel-
phians for luck. At least the
Rev. Roy jenkins. pastor of the
First Methodist church at Day
ton. thinks so. About year
ago when the Adelphians arrived
in Dayton, Preacher Jenkins
offered corner in the parson-
age living room as quiet spot
to set up the typewriter to re-
cord the doings of the singers
from the College of Puget
Sound
you won't be disturbed" said
he. Nothing ever happens around
here, not even weddings"
There was reason for the
latter observation. The wedding
business had not been very brisk
and there was no reason TO think
there would be a change on that
particular day But the type
writer had hardly started to clat-
ter when there came a rap at
the door and a couple of self
conscious looking young people
wanted to know is they could
be married OF course they could.
and the typewriter was shooed
out into the kitchen until the
ceremony was over.
Now you can come back"
said Preacher Jenkins. There
won't be any more weddings for
at least a month"
That seemed n reasonable
prediction, and the typewriter
was moved back TO the quiet
corner OF the living room. But
before paragraph could be
written, there came another
couple to he married and out
into the kitchen we were
chased again.
Recalling the experiences of a
year ago. when Preacher Jenkins
again offered a corner of the
parsonage living room as nice
quiet place to think out a proper
story of the Adclphian progress.
he was asked if there was any
probability of an interruption by
wedding party.
Not a chance in the world"
he replied pessimistically. THE
wedding business seems to have
gone along with every other
business"
But. believe it or not, before
the first laboriously thought out
paragraph was put on paper,

some repairs. Seeing that the
school district had acquired an
additional strip Just west Of the
present grounds. the w. p A
set-up decided 10 grade this new
piece of ground, using higher
grade level than the present
grounds. and also to change the
slope.
The work was only partly
done when the W. T. A. crew
was called off the job. bitches
have been dug across the
grounds. M king them very
dangerous for the children to
play on. Grade stakes were
driven very generously over the
grounds and many Of these were
mounded over with several
wheelharrow loads Of dirt. These
now make ideal objects for pu-
pills to stumble over as they are
trying to play their games over
the now very rough grounds
and through the bitches.

association and we strongly
urge you 10 use your influence

there came a rap 81 the door. 1t
was another wedding party and
the typewriter was again hustled
into the kitchen.
TT does sure beat all" re-
marked Preacher Jenkins as he
made an entry Of the fee in his
cash book. how these Adelphi-
ans do bring 'em out"
And those Adelphisns, what
did they do They hustled a
couple of lads To the grocery
around the corner for a sack
of rice, and when the newly
Heds. who had hoped they
were going 10 have nice
quiet wedding, came out Of
the parsonage they found the
whole gang assembled around
their car singing the Peas
ants Wedding March"
There wasn't anything to do
but stand there and take 1t. for
couple of the huskiest from
the bass section blocked the
doors on both sides and held
them until the serenade was fin
ished and the pIrty well show
cred with rice. And just as the
new groom was starting the car
he seemed to have little trou-
BILE with it--a string of tin cans
appeared from somewhere and
brass band couldn't have made
any more noise than those cans
did as they clatteted down the
main street.
This is not at all what WAS
intended for this column. On
the drive from Pasco to Day
ton there had been laboriously
thought out discussion of the
economic system which leaves
the farmers with granaries full
of wheat they cannot sell, while
in the cities there are thousands
of persons who cannot get enough
bread But that can wait, for it
is likely to be pertinent SUBJ
ject for many years to come.
In the meantime. a little more
about the Adelphians. There has
been an entire absence of the
colds and little ailments which
cropped out on previous tours.
There is brightness and
spontaneity about the work
of the chorus throughout
the entire program of Is MEM
hers. A particularly bright
spot in the program is I'm
Happy Anna" in which Anna
belle Lemm sings the con-
tralto solo and the other
voices provide the accompani-
ment.
Besides an exceptional concert
every night, there is a 10-minute
spot on the program for pre-
sentation of a bit of Washing
ton history and to tell some-
thing of the background of the
golden jubilee to be held in
Tacoma next July.

WE WANT NO WAR
ABROAD OR AT HOME

Editor, The Times: From the
recent report of Preside lent
Roosevelts press conference, it
appears that we are getting
closer to American participa ton
in another unnecessary Euro
pean war. and that this will
occur unless the people rise up
in their wrath and put stop
to what is going on in Wash
ington. D. c.
Those who We're living in
Europe when the World War
started, and when it was fin
ished, know the conditions there.
European diplomats-all of
them-are skilled and expert
enced in their work, They are
clever and INSCRIPTIONS and can
be well likened to card sharks.
Our diplomats abroad and many
of our officials in the state de-
partment in Washington are
green" and inexperienced in
the field of diplomacy. They go
up against the trained repre-
sentatives of other powers and
usually Uncle Sam comes out
poor loser. Between the mud
ding officials in Washington
who appear to be playing poll
tics in shaping our foreign
affairs, and our child-like diplo-
mats abroad, the people of this
country are in a truly pitiful
situation. On top of this, the
country is being flooded with
propaganda from Great Britain
and only few people here and
there are making fight against
the determined efforts which are
being made TO have us again
underwrite and guarantee the
territorial integrity of the I'M
perislists, as Senator Borah
calls them.
Roosevelt refers to his for
eign policy" Just exactly as the
dictators of Europe. Very clear
" he wants to get away from
the solution of our domestic
problems by getting mixed up
in the intrigue and politics of
Europe. He may think he can
divert the attention Of the For
gotten Man from the prospect
of honest-to-goodness work by
talking war. After six years of
Roosevelt. We still have twelve
million unemployed Is there no
future for them other than for
cannon fodder Our first duty
is toward our own people, 70
find work for them rather than
70 mislead them by talk Of war.

WATER COSTS MONEY
Editor, The Times: In re-
cent article by Bob O'Neil, he
attacks, my previously made
statement regarding the Metcalf,
kuickling and Hawley system
for measuring the correct charge
for water and fire hydrant serv-
ice. This formula. used by Ia
coma and most all other cities
of America, as the accurate and
proper measure of cost, is all
wrong, claims Bob.
Bob claims the Metcalf.
kuickling and Hawley formula
was designed for private COM
panies. Actually 1t was de-
signed to secure a true cost" so
that such costs could be used
for many purposes. including the
figuring of your fire insurance
rates, and like the multiplication
table ii is used in many ways.
From the National Fire Insur-
ance Underwater data on this
subject / quote this statement:
THE public fire protection
service requirements developed
by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters are based funda-
mentally upon size of population,
maximum rate of water demand
for domestic. commercial, indus
trial and public service, pressure,
character of topography and
building construction. one OF
the most popular methods of de-
termining the cost OF public fire
protection service is the Met
calf. kuickling and Hawley for
mula."
Continuing. they then give the
formula in full. which even first
year men in college now recog-
nize as standard and more
important still they recog-
nize that il produces variable

location OF various cities.
In pre-law, they have what are
called moot-court sessions. Stu
dents hold moot-court. proving
cases on the basis OF similar
cases settled with decisions

the more cases quoted, the more
impressive the case. Amateur
law students seldom examine

of cities that provide, as he says.

that Bob's free service does cost
