Help! Teachers Short Skirts to Slay Germs

Have the women school teach
ers of Tacoma big feet?
This question probably isn't
worrying anybody as much as
these teachers nowadays. A cru
sade has just been started in
Pittsburg to compel all teachers
In the public schools to wear short
dresses. The Anti-Tuberculosis
league started it. Doctors have
found that school room floors are
great breeding places for germs
of tuberculosis.
In Pittsburg the league sent a
letter to the school authorities,
pointing out this fact. An order
was issued forbidding the teach
ers to wear dresses below their
ehoetops. The teachers were great
" exercised over the movement.
It spread to New York, where SIM
lar uncomfortable feelings ex-
isted.
But here's where the shoe
pinches: The league is sending

TACOMA READY FOR BIRD MEM
MONEY AND SITE
BOTH SECURED

Tacoma has the money, she has
the site-now it is up to the fly
ing machine men to come through
and make this city the; scene OF
the first aviation meet in the
Northwest.
The financial end of the proposi-
ton has been practically taken
care of. Part of the SIS,
guarantee has been raised already
and the rest will be easy If it is
necessary. There are plenty of
sites and now it is simply a ques-
|tion of dates.
Dick Ferris, the promoter, said
If Tacoma would raise the cash
and provide the site she could
have the meet and it looks decid-
edly favorable for an exhibition
here.
The committee has wired that
everything has been arranged here
and is now waiting for a reply
from Ferris as to what dates this
city can have. 1t is desired to put
the meet off as long as possible
here to get it out of the rainy
season. The aviators, however.
want to start east before summer
and they will probably want an
early meeting.
The matter of a site is not 60
ing to be difficult.
Several sites on the prairie have
been suggested and one that SENS
to be especially available is Lake
wood, just east of Stielacoom lake.
Tallman & Thompson, who have
just recently placed this tract on
the market, have been seen by the
committee and have offered the
site free for the meet. 1t is out

People Hysterical With Joy

PRIAS. Jan. 2S.-Reports re-
ceived today from the upper Seine
and Marne rivers say that the
people wept with Joy when In
formed that the flood had reached
its highest point and the waters
were receding.
Town criers passed through he
streets announcing the joyful news
through megaphones, and drum
corps formed to celebrate the o.
casion. Hundreds of flood suf-
ferers in various little towns fell
in line behind the drum corps and
marched in triumphant process
sions singing the Marseillaise.
Pitiful Scenes.
Answering pitiful cries for aid,
the police today broke the locked
door at No. z Rue De La Sablon-
Mere, and found an aged half
blind man trying to carry his
paralytic wife to safety away from
the waters hich were rushing into
the lower portion of the house
from a broken main.

But think what is going to hap
pen when the order reaches Chi
cago!
How the movement for short
skirts for teachers will be received
in Tacoma is indicated by the
statement of Miss Antoinette Rath-
bone, nurse for the public schoofs.
She says:
Most of the teachers already
wear fairly short skirts. am
sure that few of them would OBJ
ject to skirt which cleared the
ground well and did not drag on
the floor when the teacher is
seated. 1t would be very benefi-
cial to health conditions to request
short skirts in all the schools of
the city"

MILLER MAKES
DRAMATIC
SPEECH

Stubbornly fighting against the
tremendous odds against him, Pc
ter Miller addressed the jury in
his own defense in the closing
argument of his trial for the burg
larry committed in Seattle last
summer, before Judge Easterday,
this morning. The case went to
the jury late this afternoon.
With all the force and gesture
of a practiced speaker, Miller de-
nounced his prosecution as a plot
to railroad him to the penitentiary.
Attorney Glasgow, who has rep
resented Miller throughout the
trial, retired after the examina-
tion of the last rebuttal witness.

This is dastardly plot to rail-
road the defendant to JAIL" said
Miller in his own behalf. "All the
testimony is professional, from

fense were muzzled. Why?

why some of them don't object.
But as for those who do, the ques-
tion arises:
DO the school teachers of Ta-
coma have BIG feet?
OF course, IL they do, and the
order is obeyed here, there is a
chance that the children may
have something to detract atten-
tion from their studies. But then
again, the teachers may not have
big feet; they may have small
feet. Certainly there is no reason
why Tacoma should be behind the
