In the middle district, the domo-
cratic nominee is also a woman.
Commissioner Frank Clark's wife
filed for the position with six OPP

On the republican side, I. H. Hart
man made an even better record
against his two competitors. So
the race in the middle district will
be between Mrs. Clark and Hart
man.
Senator Stinson again defeated
his competitor and will battle it out
in the general election with Earl

Senate Votes CONSUMPTION

washington, D. C.-The House
this week starts debate, limited to
two DAYS, on the Selective Military
Training Bill passed last week by
The Senate. While the Senate's age
limit of q to "a years may be
amended in conference, the bills
final adoption is generally conceded.
In many sections of the country, es-
peeially among large New York
rroups of alien origin and Com
munist leanings, an unprecedented
rush has swamped license bureaus
bv draft-dodgers believing that
married men will be exempt from
military service. Officials point out
that nothing in the act Justifies this
optimism. especially where the
bride, often only a casual acquaint-
ance. has been profitably employed
up to her wedding day and well able
to support herself.

Equipment Is
Ordered for the
Spaulding Room

toward the Spaulding memorial, and
Yesterday the equipment for the
hospital room was ordered. The
room will be ready for occupancy in
about a month it is expected by the
committee appointed by the XII
wants club to handle the project.
Some confusion has been exper-
fenced by the committee in regard
to the conditions surrounding the
memorial. The room will be rent
ed at the same rates as others of a
similar kind at the hospital. No spec
ial conditions surround the use of
the room. Finances for the pro-
iect will remain at all times in
the control of the local committee.
At the time of the Spaulding
funeral many friends of the doctor
contributed cash in lieu of flow
ers. This fund, amounting to about
s75. was sent to the Orthopedic hos
pital in Seattle, where a crib wa;
equipped for the use of the smaller
patients. A memorial plaque wa
attached.
The memorial fund has no
reached the proportions expected b!
the committee, but they are con-
fident that enough will be received
to complete the furnishing of thu
ispecial room at the Pasco hospital

Kennewick Lions

Friday; but Lions and
Bulldogs do not meet

The Kennewick Lions will take
part in a four-team jamboree on the
Pasco field tomorrow (Friday) night
but they will not meet Pasco Bull
dogs on that occasion-just why
not, no one known. They will play
a half each with Sunnyside and
Prosser, with the winners playing
off the odd. Pasco will do the same.
This will give the fans a compare
tive view of the two rivals, if moth
ing else.
The Lions played a preseason
game last Friday under the local
lights, with the Lind team, which
went through last season unde-
feated. While the game was rag
ged, as was to be expected for the
first game of the season, there
were some possibilities uncorked
which should give the local team
good standing somewhere near the
top at the end of the season. Ken
newick won 1876, but the score was
not indicative of the teams strength
for Coach Coates run in his entire
second string in the second half
But he pulled them out when the
boys from Lind managed to get toe
close to the goal lines.

coaches had requested close decis'

the outstanding player this year. HI
