throwing his riders each of the

The Saturday program was fast

Sundays show went off without
a hitch and very good time was
made in the calf roping and bull
dogging contests.
In the final bucking contest, Herb

A complete change Of intermis-

ing the three days with Bob Rock
er doing some fancy roping and Ed
and Francis Stiller and Rocker
thrilling the crowds with fancy
trick riding. One of the special
events was the fighting Of a wild

furnished entertainment on the first
day Of the show.
The only casualty was on Satur-

severed artery in his arm while
bulldogging. However, he went
ahead and threw the animal in
good time in spite of his injury.

Many Outstanding
Floats Add Color
In Annual Parade
Neighboring cities con-
tribute to local color;
many prizes awarded; 3
musical groups here

Spectators which numbered up in
the thousands, enjoyed the annual
parade staged the morning of the
Fourth and which marked the open
ing of the annual three-day Rodeo
celebration. According to many the
entries were much more colorful
than in years previous and gave
the spectators an added thrill to the
holidays activities.
One of the most colorful entries
was that of the Pasco Drum and
Bugle corps with their new blue and
orange uniforms and the fine exhib-
ition of the drum major. A number
Of other Pasco organizations were
represented in the parade also show
ing that with the cooperation of
our twin city across the river a
bigger and better celebration was
enjoyed.
The parade was headed by Queen
Jean I with her princesses Ruth
Simmelink (next years Rodeo
Queen; Janice Dietrich as "Miss
Kennewick" and Alta Carpenter as
miss Pasco"; and Rodeo association
president, A. C.. Anon.
The ". F. w. junior band of Wal
Ia Walla and the Walla Walla Girls
Drum and Bugle corps were the
other musical organizations repre-
sented.
There were so many beautifully
decorated floats that the judges had
some time deciding the winners.
The prize winner topping the list as
a commercial float was that of the
p. p. & L. company, which was
commemorating the company's 30
years of service and was cleverly
decorated with a huge birthday cake
and candles. The second prize win
ner in this classification was the M.
& c.. Sweet Shop, being an old
"jallopy" with the occupants dress
ed as "Old Timers" In the Num-
cipal division the Kiona-Benton
City yoedelers won first and he
White Bluffs float, second. In the
fraternal division, Locust Grove
won first and the Rainbow Girls
second, both being very attractively
decorated. Penney" Terrell took
the most unique entry prize with
his horse and surrey and the Sec
ond prize went to the All Dairy
Club. The best decorated ear prize
was given to Mrs. A. G. Nicoson.
Girls bicycle prizes were awarded to
Patsy Sonnenbrg, Daphne Taylor
and Dolores Shoemaker with Jimmy
Oliver, Bobby Harper and Gene
Mowery receiving boys prizes. The
best cowgirl was judged to be Mrs.
Herbert Owens, the best cowboy,
Francis Stiller of Walla Walla and
the best clown prize to Billy Bou-
telle.
Howard Beste and Howard Nc
Chez were in charge of the parade
and lineup.

Ideal Cleaners Install
New SpOtting Machine

One of the latest modern con-
veniences in the dry cleaning bus
mess has just been installed this
week in the shop of the Ideal
Cleaners. This is the new Glover
steam vacuum spotting board, which
is the latest board out of its kind.
By this method it is the fastest
and best means Of spotting ever used
replacing the old hand process
which has been in use for the past
% years. The new method is fast
er and far superior to the old. Ac-
cording to Cecil Anderson, mana
ger, this is the first board to be in
stalled between here and Yakima.

was the experience of G. L. Powell
last Thursday at the landing field
adjacent to the city park where the
July 18th celebration was being

While the two children were having
their ride, small plane piloted by
John Sawyer of Pasco, landed and
TAXED across the field. Evidently
the pilot did not see Powell's car,
as he headed straight for it, and
stopped only after the spinning
propeller had extracted the cars
headlight from its socket in the
fender. Damage to the car was
limited to the headlight and fender,
while the airplane suffered a wreck

of the fr1selage Slightly wrinkled. -.
No one was injured, but Mrs.
Powell and Mrs. Chellis were in
the car when the accident happened.

gia, nearly as common as sciatica
or shoulder neuralgia, that which
affects the facial nerve. 1t is more
severe and painful than any Of the
others with the possible exception
of shingles. 1t affects the middle
aged and seems TO be connected
with hardening Of the arteries,
possibly in the thalamus of the
central nervous system.
A nerve can pain either from
stimulation or injury at its tip or
from irritation of its central origin
deep in the nervous system. An in
jury of the visual center in the
brain will cause flashes of light,
An injury of the nerve center for
sensation in the face will cause
pain in the face.

About Shingles

The neuralgia Of shingles is Of
this central character, and GER
tainly facial neuralgia, which
often causes excruciating tooth
ache with the result that these
people often lose many perfectly
good teeth with no alienation of
the pain.
Many remedies have been sug-
gested for facial neuralgia. As
last resort, when the pain becomes
too exhausting, the Gasserian
ganglion can be removed by sur
gerry. This results in cure in prac-
tically all cases, but it should be
reserved until other methods have
been tried. The condition often
subsidies and goes away for years
spontaneously without reference
to treatment
A valuable method Of treatment
is the use of trichlorethylene gas.
We must add when it works" be-
cause this is not always the case.
Its value was discovered BY acct
dent-in airplane factories it was
used to dissolve the shellac that
goes on the wings and body, and
workers in these factories often
got temporary numbness Of the
face. When this observation was
applied to facial neuralgia, it was
found that inhalation Of the gas
relieved the pain. 1t must be used
cautiously, under a physicians
care, trying it out as a trial at
first. If it works, the patient may
be promised complete and grateful
relief.
Look for Trouble
Facial neuralgia is dependent
on many general bodily conditions
and a complete examination Of
blood, nutrition, blood pressure
and teeth is in order. But espe-
cially with teeth, it is possible to
be too thorough and the caution to
the effect that real disease should
be present before removal is adj
vised is again repeated.
We are all familiar with that
dreadful rite - Spring house
cleaning" Then not only the 6bvi-
Gus dust is removed, but forays
into obscure bureau drawers and
long undisturbed hooks is insti-
tuted. It's all right to do this to
the body, but not to the extent Of
tearing up the floors in the attic
to uncover a purely theoretical
rats nest.

Remedies For Shingles
Suggested by Doctor
Clendening
BY Logan C,endenlng. NJ. u.
. We have already discussed sci
attic neuralgia and shoulder neu-
ralgia in articles this week. To
complete the series we should take
up intercostal and occipital neu-
ralgia, and the disease known as
shingles, which is a form Of neu-
ralgia or rather neuritis. but since
these are no different in general
aspects for treatment purposes
than the others discussed. we will
consider a unique form Of neural
