SOLO FLOURISHES
IN WALLA WALLA
That there was something wrong
with the government Btatlstlcan who
figured out Seattle as the healthiest
city in the United States i» h. opinion
of Paul Denhart, an Alaskan, register
ed at the Hotel Frye. Denhart oper
ated in the north for nearly twenty
years, and a few years ago made a
fortune by discovering the pa.vstreak
on the celebrated Bessie bench claim
at Noe. He contends that the health
iest place in the'world Is Walla Walla,
as proved by its population of octo
genarian solo players.
“‘Why, there are more old men in
Walla Walla," he said, “than In any'
other place I ever saw. There are doz
ens of them hanging around the hotel
lobbies who are more than 80 years old.
They make the rest of .the population
feel like a lot of kids."
"And, say. you should see those old
sports play solo. They’re wizards at
It. I know, because I tried ’em, and
the games always seemed to be on me
at the finish. They have raised the
game of solo to an art. They have
every lead down to the fittest possible
point, and by the time the third card
f Is on the table, they know which hands
hqfd the balance of the pack. They
fight and scrap among each other over
th^lgads^butlet q stranger get In, and
1
fin fifteen mintuea or le^e he discovers
| that he never did know anything about
1 the game.
"1 don’t know whether the Women
of Walla Walla grow as old as the
men. but 1 can speak with authority
on the male sex. and let me give you
a tip—their wisdom in hoIo increases
with their years.’*
