By the time the road is reopened for travel in Te Star hopes that Kittitas county will have taken to heart the many protests from motorists heard this Season, and will have erected ence or other roads barrier along the dangerous shores of Lake Keechelus. This road, full of short and dangerous turns, hugs the face of the rocky cliff, and is so narrow that, should a careless driver crowd the road as he approaches from the Opposite direction, the only way out for the motorist is to go over the bank. A mishap here would be fatal. For the water is deep, and the bank, in most places is too steep to climl The Proper Thing ‘OW that Robert La Follette, Jr., managing the La Follette campaign for his father, has spoken, the best thing that the “outsiders” on the La Follette ticket in this state can do is to withdraw and give those who have been selected to run the campaign a clear road. La Follette was appealed to in an endeavovr to settle the controversy over the filing of three La Follette tickets at Olympia. His reply gave the ticket of electots put forward by the John Ballaine forces as the only ticket With La Follette’s endorsement, and named Ballaine as the State manager of the progressive party. In justice to the voters, the muddled issue should be Cleared up at once. ; “Wildcat tickets” should be withdrawn, that the man Who wants to vote for La Follette may have an equal chance with the man who wants to vote for some other candidate. And, if the tickets are not withdrawn voluntarily, Bal- Taine should proceed with legal action to get the tangle straightened out. Cities Doomed, Says Ford HE MODERN city has done its work. The city has taught us much. But the overhead expense of living in such places is becoming unbearable. The cost of main- . taining interest on debts, of keeping up water supply, Sewerage and sanitary systems, the cost of traffic control and of policing great masses of people are so great as to offset the benefits of the city. This is Henry Ford’s idea, expressed in an interview in Automotive Industrial Magazine. Ford says he believes that sharp competition will com- 1 industries to move out into small communities. Over- Ried costs and living expenses would be lower there. Some years back, Ford advanced the idea of establish- factories in rural districts where farmers could work *in their dull seasons of the year. Growing most of his own food, each industrial producer under this system would also be hi8 own boss part of the time. A handicap to this system would be if industries owned the farm-homes and supervised them ruthlessly, as is now done with homes and gardens in many mining towns. ‘Today the big city is an industrial center. Ford pre- dicts a time when the industrial center will be a chain of small towns, each with its factories and mills, farms nearby. _Ford does not seem to reckon with the part the air- plane may play in breaking up the big cities. I? planes get safe, fool-proof and as inexpensive as auto flivvers, father could live far out in the country, or even in the woods and fly hundreds of miles to and from work in the The city would no longer be a residential district on any big scale. It would have factories, mills, stores and theaters. With airplanes cheap and fast, and radio bringing Movies and musie and news to the far-off home, the problem of city congestion would be easily solved. The public, however, might object to isolation—even fn groups of families. City dwellers are responding to much the same spirit that maks bees flock together in 4 common hive, wasps in a paper nest, ants in a hill. Rust Proof Steel HE STAINLESS, rust-proof steel invented by Ronald i Wilds of Sheffield, England, is being tested in Pitts- burg. A cheap steel of this sort would save America alone hundreds of millions of dollars a year that now is lost by rust. A very dull steel industry, chronically dull, would result. It’s the wearing out of things that keeps industry busy. Nearly all human work is for the purpose of replacing the worn out. Dangerous Flying IRPLANES at some of the ocean beaches have been flying low over the bathers to throw a scare into them. One woman was severely injured, struck by an anchor or some other object dangling from a rope attached - to the plane, It starts us thinking, what a dangerous device the airplane will be in the hands of fools. Autos are bad enough. When airplanes swarm overhead by the thousands, the clutter that will shower on our heads will be a fright, unless planes are barred from flying over communities, They could be restricted to “air lanes” or roads, flying traffic cops keeping them there. TH a might and a will comes a touch of the chill that just Indicates winter is nigh. When we're right on the brink—well, it makes a man think, and the thinking, {n turn, makes him sigh. Most any home-feller knows, down in the cellar, there’s work that has got to be done. The furnace need cleaning, the windows unscreening, and who will declare that is fun? You recall with a fear, at the end of last year, you left ashes strewn ‘round in the bin, Now there iun’t a doubt that they need cleaning out so tho coalman can throw the coal in. There's carpets to beat vo the house will look neat, and there's wind- strips to put on the doors. While mother is cleaningshe has you careening at scraping and painting tho floors, Yes, winter is nice, but'%t makes you think twice, and you're glad when it's finally done. It’s part of your cup, but, old fellow, cheer up, ‘cause tt only comes ‘round once a year.

This family consisted of a father, son, daughter-in-law, and three young daughters. He was very much interested in them on hearing that the three girls had driven their fathers’ ox-wagon transport thru the country—the youngost child, aged 10, acting as leader of the teams of 16 oxen, while an older girl of 17 had driven them. “Lam glad to see women and chil- dren in this young country," marked Roosevelt, ‘‘who are capable of enduring hardships and doing thelr share of tho work; for as long ag they do this, East Africa must surely prosper, That {!s what hap. 4 | while soprano uu nettiern, who are work.| Colce of the highest pitch or range oof my own peo- | the western states of America| before his voice changes. | | mentioned | | | opiniowithe United States would be over the dam by thi time.
