Sunnyside has a public conveni-

ence that Wenatchee women have

often talked of as being a very cry-

ing need and there have been spas-

modic attempts made to establish a

public rest room here for women, but

so far there has been nothing decis-

ive done.

Sunnyside is a small town of about

1200 inhabitants in the fertile val-

ley of Yakima. This valley is set-

tled quite thickly, and while there

are many large ranches, the major-

ity are small ranches?twenty, for-

ty or eighty acres ?and are tributary

to this city, so a great many people

drive here to trade. If it happensto be windy or dusty the visitors pre-

sent a dishevelled and often a de-moralized appearance and would likesome convenient room where they

could retouch their toilet and restorethat harmonious and chic complete-

ness so dear to both men and wo-

men.The necessity existed and a few

| energetic women saw it and deter-mined to do something, but they hadnot a penny to start with; anyway,

they started. The Public Rest Roomclub sprang into existence. Thereare a president, secretary and treas-

The new quarters have four rooms ?

HAS NO FEAR OF INVASION

Laurier Says Anglo-Saxons Will

Never War with Each Other.

A statement of Canada's view as to

the impossibility of future trouble

with the United States was made atan artillery luncheon in Ottawa by

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, prime ministerof Canada. He said:

"Canada has but little to fear that

she will ever be invaded. We have

but one neighbor on this continent,

the United States. While our fron-

tier has been crossed in the past, my

belief and the belief of Canadians

generally, is that among the great

Anglo-Saxon nations civilization has

reached a point where the shedding

of blood among them would be re-garded with horror equal to that withwhich a civil war would be contem-

plated. There is not reason to be-

lieve that Great Britain and the Unit-

ed States will ever again be at war,

or that Canadians will ever live in

any but peaceful relations with their

cousins, the great people of the Unit-

ed States."
