Height Of the :.
Umaiilla Dam
Not Determined
No immediate cause
for worry, secretary
tells local group

There has been no decision made
as to the height of the proposed
TImatilla dam, III. G.. West told a
oro,Ip of Kennewick men Monday.
Mr. West is executive secretary OF
The Inland Waterways Association
and is today on his way to Wash
inpton. D. c. to appear before a
snecial investigating committee
from Congress in regard to the
nroposed work on the develop
ns1ent of the Columbia river.
u investigations are being con-
Quoted as to the relative costs, pro-
duction and damages of three diff
ferent levels for the dam, Mr..
West stated. The original dam
called for the creation of a 80
foot pool (31O feet above sea level.
Alternate plans are also being in
yestigated for 330-foot pool anc
a 34O-foot pool. The latter would
call for diking large portion OF
the river banks in this immediate
area and put the water up to app
proximately the top of the road
way leading to the island.
However, there is no immediate
cause for worry over any OF the
proposals, for the army engineers
have arranged for public hearings
at Walla Walla and Portland and
local port officials are planning
to ask for similar meeting in
this area. Consideration will be
given the expressions developed
at these hearings, Mr.. West de-
clared. He gave his opinion that
no further actual work would be
undertaken on the project until
after the war.

Eriks0n to Install
Open Air Dance Pavilion,

A large open air dance pavilion
will soon be installed at the Erik
son Trailer Camp on the highway,
petition for which was approved
at the last meeting of the city
council. Mr.. Erikson plans to
hold two or three dances a week

The action was taken to give
residents in that area, who now
number more than the total popu-
lation of Kennewick two years ago,
an opportunity for recreation
without costing gas and tire con-
sumption.

Furlough Gas Set by
Army and Navy

The Office of Price Administers
ton is making the following an
nouncement to the people of the
community: The OPA had nothing
to do with setting five SALONS as
the amount of furlough gas a serv-
ice man might have. That regula-
ton was requested by the army
and navy. OPA gets much criti-
cism about this, and many service
men themselves are resentful, yet
it is an army and navy request
not OPA.

The makers of Pepsi Cola sew
eral months ago, started running
a series of advertisements in the
Negro press, urging Negro wo-
men who qualify, to join the
Cadet Nurse Corps to relieve
other qualified Negro nurses for
military service.
So encouraging were the re
suits from this campaign that the

New Novel Challenges
Race Prejudice

There is every indication that
FREEDOM Road a new book by
Howard Fast, will be the most
talked of novel of 1914. This
book was released August 16 by
the publishers, Duell, Sloan &
Pearce.
Howard Fast will best be re-
membered as the author of the
current best seller Citizen Tom
Paine" Mr.. Fasts forceful
style seems to have reached its
apex in his latest work, 'Free-
dom Road"
Many books have been written
about the Negro, but this story
is written about things that you
probably thought no one would
write. 1t attacks the very foun-
dations of Lip Service Demo-
crazy" and gives us a fronk por-
trayal of what actually happened
in the South during the days Of
Black Reconstruction.

the highest order. The story of
Negro named Gideon Jackson
who fought on the side of the
Union during the Civil War. This
character is an embodiment o.
all the fine qualities of Negro
Legislators. duly elected imme-
diately after the Civil War.
Through him is shown the con-
fliet of the North and South, the
struggle between land owner and
share cropper, and struggle of
races for reimbursement, and the
political strife growing out OF
a maladjusted social pattern that
was allowed to run loose through
fragrant transportation of ju-
dicial rights. Gideon Jackson
grows mentally and spiritually as
he labors tirelessly to work out
the destiny of his people who
were confused, abused and per-
secuted. OF special interest is
the manner in which "Freedom
Road" deals with the rise Of the
Klu Klux Khan in its determined
efforts to stem tho tide of de
mocratic thinking among the un-
derprivileged in Gideon's commu-
nifty.
Throughout Freedom Road"
moves at a rapid pace and the
moral victories which Gideon
wins will long be remembered by
everyone who reads this lower

pitfalls devoted to the training of
Negro nurses. This company ex-
poets to expand its activity in
the Negro field as quickly as
other hospitals are able to train
Negro nurses. This is the first
time that the makers of Kotex
have used the Negro press. Need
less to say, Interstate United
Newspapers is proud to have
played a major part in securing
the aid of the above three men,
toned major companies in this
patriotic drive.
Negro nurse recruits are pour
ing in now as never before.
All of the advertisements being
carried by each of the companies
are illustrated with Negro sub
jects, stressing the postwar ad-
vantages of the training to be
secured, the snappiness of the
uniform and the dignity of the
nursing profession.

these incidents with a heroic at
titude. This Is very bad ex-
ample and should be dealt with
very sternly.
II a child errs. 1t Is because
Il has never been shown the right
way. ne must point ont TO
them their faltering ways with
parental kindness but also use
strict disciplinary action at the
proper time.
Make friend of your child:
take IL into your confidence but
show your child the way with
the right example.
Make It your business to know
the whereabouts of your child at
all times. This can be done very
tactfully without it feeling
haunted.
Don't give your child that
"there is a crowd" feeling whom
adults are present. Make II feel
1t is vital part of your adult
life; that you are counting on
1t to fulfill its social obligations
1t Is the duty of every mother
and father to explain fully the
facts of life in all respects; teach
them their debt to society. Make
its home life a thing of beauty
If its home life is enjoyable the
child will not be attracted to
things of a criminal nature.

There are plenty of fine up

Better Dental Care
Advised

DIR. Roy H. Bridger, Montgom-
cry County Public Health Dentist,
reporting results of a special sur
vey made in one of the high schools
of the county, points out the need
for earlier and better dental care
for children. In a high. school
enrolment of 153 he found 638
cavities, or an average of more
than A cavities for each child. A
total of 72 permanent teeth have
already been lost by this group of
children, most of whom are under
18 years of age. They have not
been entirely without dental care,
however, for DR.. Bridger found
357 filings had been made for
this group of 153, an average of
more than filings per child.
A clean tooth may decay, but
one in which food particles are
lodged is pretty sure to do so.
Brushing helps. And last but not
least, so does visit to the dentist
every six months.
