overlooked by the committees in
charge of arrangements tor the big
event. It is expected that fully I 11"
ladies will be In Pullman from vari
ous parts of the state for the two
days of the convention and as they

in the 'all-newspaper" programs of
the convention other affairs will be
arranged for their entertainment.

to see. the Lewiston hill highway, but
the heavy program of newspaper
topics during the two days of the
convention will likely make an ex
cursion tor the men impossible.
Many of those who will come by au
tomobile, however, are making ar
rangements to return to their homes
by way of Lewiston and Pomeroy.
A bit; feature of the convention
will be the chamber of commerce

Now comes the question: What will those Impressions be; will the pub

The molding of the answer to thai question i- in the hands of the new
pie <;t Pullman. We can make it what we will.
To make ii Rood, we must get solidly behind that convention. first,
we must realize Hie tremendous Importance of the convention from our
own standpoint. Then we must provide enough bedding to make the visit
ors comfortable. (The committee i- still ..bout 150 bed rolls short)
\<-\t. we must meet the visitors in such a manner that there will be no
doubt as to their welcome.
We must present for the inspection of the visitors a "city beautiful."
with mowed lawns, .lean yards, tld> vacant.lots and well kept parking
We must Impress them with the progressive spirit of the business dis
trict by means of good window displays, well arranged stocks of goods
and kindly greetings and courteous consideration after they enter the
, place of business.
We must assist the college and chamber of commerce committee in
providing pleasing entertainment lor the visitors, both men and women.
In fine, we must enter Into the details of the annual convention of the
Washington Press association with a spirit and a unity of purpose that
| will send the visitors back to their home- communities in the knowledge
that Pullman has been tried in the balance and found not watlng; we
must convince them that "Pullman Spirit" knows no bounds, and that
Pullman, as a wide-awake! progressive home town, his no,superior in the
j State of Washington.
Kditoiial pencils will picture in telling words Piihnan's success or
failure in meeting the test. They will either present the city of Pullman
and its people with a bouquet or a black eye.
A million people will read about our citizens as "slackers" or as "go
getters"; they will see the town pictured as a sleepy Village or as a live,
progressive community, fully awake to its responsibilities and its oppor
! tunities.
Come on. Pullman! Let's grab the bouquet!

MATERIAL ARRIVES
FOR \i:\\ POWER LINE
A carload of material, including
66,000 pounds of stranded copper |
wire, was received In Pullman this
week to be used on the new line o^
the Washington Water power com
pany, from Pullman through Colfax
to Lind. The new line will give
Pullman a tie line for service two
ways, over the Long Lake line to
Lind or the present line from Spo
kane to Pullman, via Moscow. In
case of trouble on the line in use. it
will be the matter of only a few
minutes to cut over to the other line,
giving Pullman assurance of a con
tinuity of service, except in cases of
extreme emergency which would put
both lines out of business. The new ;
line will be rushed to completion
and will probably be ready for op
eration early this fall.

Friday — Talks on Child
Nutrition
i
"You will never get decent danc
lng until you get rid of jazz. It is
fundamental, It is a civic problem.
The community must set standards.
You can't save your boy unless you
save your neighbor's girl."
Dr. Carolyn Hedger of Chic i
child specialist, quoted above, spoke
Friday In the auditorium of the
suite College on "Health and the
Adolescent," and later at he United
Presbyterian church on child nutri-
ion,
"in our Bocial problems we some
time* Tail because wo do not con ■
Aider the Importance of health," Dr.
[ledger continued. "The unsocial -
Ized adolescent is the most expensive
and the most trying problem of the
day. Think of the millions of dol
lars we pour Into our preventive and
corrective machinery— the juvenile
courts, the detention homes, the re
formatories, the truant officers, the
probation work —and what do we
get out of ii" Mighty little, com
pa red with the need."
She spoke of the rapid and ir
regular growth from 12 to 25 years
of age, when often the muscular sys
; tern far outgrows the nervous and
circulatory system, explaining why
adolescents are so awkward, with so
little control of their limbs, and so >
likely to faint if held to continuous
physical effort.
•'rile strain on the child at this
time is enormous," she said. "It Is
I not lazy, but merely putting all its
physical and nervous energy Into the
unusually rapid growth. The child
I needs sleep and rest, and rarely gets
it under our present high school and
I social system. We are burning up
our iii"li school boys prematurely
when we push them so hard at this
i critical time
"Don't tell the boy how awkward
lie is when he stumbles over his own
feet and doesn't know what to do
with his hands. He knows it; don't
rub it in You may make him solf
conscious and unsocial so that be
will never get over it. never become
the hole man that he should."
Dr. Hedger gave severe criticism
to the fact that athletic directors are
under such economic pressure to pro
duce a winning team or lose their
jobs that they can not consider the
best interests of the individual boy.
She instanced a 14-year-old, unusu
