Walla Walla. Wallace C. Gaines

old daughter, Sylvia, arrived last
night at nine o'clock at the Washing-
ton state penitentiary here in the
custody of Sheriff uauae cannicK
and Deputy N. M. Struben of King
county. The parly made the trip
here by train coming trom rasco on
the N. P. motor coach. The car stop
ped at the foot of the hill just south
of the penitentiary and Gaines, who
was unshackled, was lanen im
mediately to the prison in a car.
Gaines showed no evidence of fa-tio-nf
after his iourney and his step
was unfaltering as he was escorteii
into the prison office, lhere oaptain
S. E. Bunker, acting in the absence of
Warden Long, received the commit
ment papers from the officers and
without further ceremony Gaines was
escorted by chief turnkey Frank
Gemmill to his cell for the night. To
day he will don prison garb and as
sume the number 12,141.
The officers stated that on the way
over Gaines had discussed the case
freely with them always maintaining
his innocence. He was sentenced yes
terday in King county superior court,
to be hanged here on August 31. His
only hope for his life lies in the ex
ecutive clemency of Governor Hart
ley. Gaines was taken directly from the
courtroom where he was sentenced
yesterday morning to the train which
was overtaken about 80 miles out of
Seattle by a high powered car.
As the party stepped off the train
here last night they were startled by
the flashlight in the hands of a party
of newspaper and cameramen and
some excitement prevailed for a time
among the guards wh.o feared at first
an attempt to escape. The camera
men were quickly pursuaded and,

Ancient Ceremonial Mama
What is believed to be the first col
lection of ceremonial masks ever gath
ered from the regions of the upper
Amazon has been brought to America
by Arthur H. Fisher, a Philadelphia
naturalist, who made an expedition
Into South America In the Interests of
the Museum of the American Indian,
Ileye foundation. The pieces repre
sent beasts and birds as well as hu
man subjects, and are curiously fash
ioned and painted. They were ob
tained from a tribe In Peru. Pieces of
pottery were also collected. To the
uninitiated, the masks bear a strange
resemblance to the figures appearing
on totem poles, or to the crude designs
made by children. Popular Mechanics

Defect in Mental Te$t
Doctor IJInet, the French psycholo
gist, Is called the father of Intelli
gence tests, now so much In vogue in
American schools and colleges. Blnet,
after prolonged experiments, Is quoted
as having cautioned educators that
tests are never absolute and cannot
be wholly depended upon to give a
pupil's true mental rating. - Teachers,
he urged In effect, should rely to a large
extent on their own Judgment, using
Intelligence tests not as a crutch but
rather as a convenient point of de
parture In any effort to help youth
find Itself.

Douglas" Hawley the Blue Mountain
scout executive was in Athena Fri
day afternoon and again after the
scout meeting Friday evening and is
planning a very intensive program at
the scout summer camp and is pleas
ed with the progress the Athena
scouts are making and the program
they have for the summer camp. In
stead of contributing their regular
quota of cash to the Blue Mountain
Council the Athena Scouts are buttl
ing a scout cabin at the summer
camp and this will be credited for the
troop's quota this year.
Mr. Hawley inspected the local
swimming pool and was very pleased
with the fact that the local scouts
will have a very fine opportunity to
develope their talents in swimming
and life saving drills. This Is a
heavy part of the first class scout re
quirements and the Athena scouts are
very fortunate to have such a fine
pool so conveniently located.
The Court of Honor of the local
scout troop met Friday evening at the
Christian church for the advancement
of scouts to second-class and .merit
badge ratings.
Leland Jenkins and Stafford Han-
sell passed their second class tests
and Carl Calvert qualified for the
carpentry and personal health merit

advancement tests now that school is
over and there will be another ses
sion of the court the last of June.
After the session of the court the
mothers served the ever popular re
freshments of strawberries, cake and
cream. As the mothers had planed
on more being out for the program
than were there, several cakes were
left over and these were auctioned off
by Mr. Stephens for the nehefit of the
scout fund and netted $6.55.
