Is th e first publicity, national In scope,
to go forth ad v ertisin g the b eauties of
the Colum bia river. T he festival will
be held Ju n e 7, 8 and 9. O pening day
will w itness th e national dedication of
the Colum bia riv e r highw ay.
The
poster ca rries th e slogan “ F or You a

was donated by Fred O. Cooper, for­

U nited S tates.
Chinese lawgivers are not troubled
with any sentimental scruples on the
subject of flogging. Even a criminal
condemned to death la given a prelim­
inary thrashing Instead of, as with us,
being treated with sympathy and con­
sideration until the hour of doom. An­
other featu re of Chinese Justice, so far
ss the lash is concerned, la its strict
Impartiality.
Highborn offenders are flogged as re­
lentlessly as criminals of the low er or­
ders. The back of many a silken robed
dignitary has been scored with the
leather thongs of tbs whips wielded by
sturdy Chinese officials, whose duty it
has been to lay on the lash heavily, re­
gardless of the rank of the victim, on
pain o f being flogged themselves.
