The scrapping contingent goes
for gore in the picture; the
dancers go for grace.
One group has bulges; the
other has curves.
But when II comes 10 real

the boys from the squared ring
some new tricks.

But There Are Laws

There are laws concerning the
age at which children can go TO
the movies.
Probably you didn't know H.

fies:
From II a. m. 10 1 p. m. no
children under the age Of II on
school days. That's 10 prevent
truancy, naturally.
After Z p. m, no child under
the age of II. unless accom-
panied by parents or adults in
authority.
After 1890 p. m, nobody
under Is.
And from 2 a. m. 10 s a. m.
1.-THE all-night shows no male
under Is, no girl under 81.
If you think it's easy to en-
force those regulations, then you
haven't bsen around, and you've
had your ears stopped with cot
ton the last several months.
Detroit seems to have escaped
the first food of juvenile de-
linquency which engulfed a lot
of other cities, but we're start
ing TO have it now.
If the instance. at the top Of
this column isn't enough, we can
find you enough other cases any
evening to make you sick TO
your stomach.
It's the war. Of course.
Whether it's lack of parental
restraint, or too much money, or
the undercurrent of war excite
ment makes no difference. Most
likely it's all Of them.

Search for Chops

lamb chops. The studio cafe
had none to spare. And all the
markets for miles around were
saving theirs for regular GUS

prop man knows no limits. When
he couldn't get actual lamb
chops. Sullivan made some pass

They consisted of chopped
nuts and flour paste. cooked in

It's an idea for desperate

Sports News and Views
By Roy Voiles D..

Richland has certainly won good
share of publicity this past week.
Getting back to our softball school
league the sophomores won their
first conference game from the
freshmen 1872. The field-trotting
juniors defeated the seniors Tues
day afternoon rs. - 81 "
Let's take look at this years
senior team. Joe Alberts and Wayne
Supplee are co-pitchers. Joe is just
a natural for sports of all kinds. He
is a great deal to blame for this
years tourney. He is also captain
of the 10 members squad. Wayne
is somewhat like Joe as far as par
Iticipation in sports is concerned.
He occupies these positions part
of the time: pitcher, right fielder,
and first base. Leona Arrestouilh
has played .softball a good many
years. She was on the winning
softball team in 1871 and 1912.
"Nonnie" is rated as one of the best
softball players in the high school.
Gertrude Baumgartner can say
practically the same thing except
she plays third base while Leona
occupies the short stop position
Ruth Kron strings right along with
the two former players in her ability
to play softball. She guards second
base. The other members of the
team-namely, William Galbreadth,
Ernie Shreve, Ruthellen Fergin,
John Shelton Substitution because
of the lack of seniors) and Yours
Truly-have been added to the rest
Of the team to make the seniors
one of the best in town.
About two or three months ago a
ping pong tournament was held for
the boys in the Richland High
School At that time Art Sircoloumb
won first place with Joe A1berts Il
told you that fellow had his finger
in almost every athletic pie")
walked off with second place. I
think it would he only fair If some
body who thinks they can beat
either Joe or Art should challenge
either one of them to two out of
three game match. The winner
would therefore occupy either first
Or second place.
And what about the girls? Now
that you gals have your ping pong
table why don't you have a tourney
to decide who Is the best female
player in school? You all have had
plenty of practice. The winner could
play Art If she wanted.
Did you ever hear that joke about
the two football teams who We're
playing for the state championship?
The winner caught the ball and
carried home the 'ebacon." (Corny?)
Word has been received that
George Snow of Kennewick former
Richland resident has returned to
the Veterans hospital in Walla
Walla.
