NEW YORK, Feb. 11-As the ba.k-

consinuius pool according to Thomas
Houston, who has been practicing here
for his title match with Jerome Keo-
gh. Houston is exhibiting the new
style of break in his daily exhibitions
at Doyle's and is trying to induce the
rule makers to write it into code for
championship play
Experts who have experimental with

practicable. that it would make the
game more spectacular in that much

it would permit long runs without the
safety pauses and that among expert
players il could be easily manipulate

establishment of averages that would
indicate relative abilities of players
as is now the case in billiards.
To play the ney style game it is
necessary to place a third spot" in
the middle of the table at the inter-
section of lines extending from the
center of the end rails and between
the two side pockets. The game is
started in the usual way with the Gus
tomary safety break, but in subsequent
rackings the point or apex ball
is removed and placed on the spot in
the center of the table.
Instead of placing the cue ball any
where behind the first two diamonds
at the beginning of each new frame,
the player who pockets the last ball
in the previous frame continues to
shoot from where the cue ball rolls
after the final shot in the preceding
frame. Houston proposes rile thai
permits a hard break of the pyramid
on the same shot that pockets the
spot ball, it being necessary, however
for the cue ball to take at least two
cushions between contact with the first

Union Men Agree That
Women Should Have
Even Chance

"There are 100000 women
and girls in the United States who
work for living in the Industrial
struggle of the nation-not be-
cause they want to but because
they have to-" said Mrs. Emma
Smith De Voc yesterday at Spana-
way, addressing the labor picnic
assemblage. She failed to under
stand why any man should oppose
giving women a chance to express
her opinion at the ballot box of
the laws which should govern in
the country In which she thus
must earn her living.
Women, she declared, are not
asking for the privilege OF crowd
ing men out but simply of having
an equal chance to express their
opinions with those of the men as
TO what shall be done in the state
in which both must live and in
which both have part In business
and social lie.
The address of Mrs. De Voc was
received with much approval by
the union men and she was as
sured that they would line up for
the suffrage amendment.
c. o. Young. state organizer for
the American Federation of Labor
also spoke. He, too, urged the
adoption OF the suffrage amend

organized labor in this country.

summoning 1876 lady correspond

Besides that she fixed up a per-

Sanborn was disposed to be
rather proud of the modest SO CO.

Surprising Results After One Ap-
pliCation-Skin Ailments
Eradicated.
Those who have on hand a jar
of poslam, the new skin remedy,
should try 1t for some of the lit
tie skin ailments common to all
households, particularly In the
summer time. Surprising results
will be seen after single appli-
cation when poslam Is used for
sunburn, fever blisters, mosquito
bites, burns, rashes, pimpIes,
hives, red noses and irritated and
inflamed skin. The complexion is
cleared overnight; dandruff is dis
solved; itching or chatting feet are
speedily relieved.
These uses are suggested apart
from the primary purposes of pos
lam, the treatment of eczema,
acne, skin scale, all forms of itch
and other serious and virulent
skin troubles. There is NO skin
disorder for which poslam should
not be unhesitatingly used and
which 1t Will not benefit. When
ever itching is present, 1t is stop
ped at once.
According to the uses for which
tits employed, poslam may be
purchased in 50-cent boxes or 50
Jars at all drug stores, particularly

before the public. 1t is true tina
my husband was awarded $4,000
damages against the Griffin Vince
company. That sounds like a biz
sum of money, but how much of Il
did we actually get? The lawyer
and court expenses swallowed {
large share, with doctor bills enc
other expenses took the rest.
Mr.. Hoover did help us, and We
supposed for charity's sake. He
swore falsely when he says we
agreed to pay back what we re-
ceived, for we never made any
such agreement. He received his
judgment by default. We were
told the court would let us know
when this trial came up, but we
did not receive this notice.
Another thing-we never re-
ceived one cent cash, everything
was in food and rent. Outlines
the stuff sent was not fit to eat,
and when we protested we were
told 1t was good enough for us.
Now he has had my husband, q
cripple, cast into Jail because he
can't pay this Judgment, and am
threatened with Jail myself.
Is this the way the people of
Tacoma hand out charity and
Justice? Is it Christian to prose-
cute helpless cripple and his in
valid wife? 1t is a shame to the
city that 1t allows such things to
be and not protest against it.
We have been bled by every
body. We never received five
cents worth of help from anybody
but what 1t was demanded back.
And the rent paid for us is for a
miserable shack.
Had we received the entire
amount 1t perhaps would have
helped us to live for a while and
raise our child; as 1t is, we will
soon be objects of charity again.
