CHAMBER WANTS
MORE MEMBERS

The Chamber of Commerce is
starting a campaign for 1000
members which will give 1t 1000
a month to boom Tacoma, each
member paying SO month as
dues. Secretary Sommers has is

chamber is doing and it seems to
be making record for activity
this year.
The secretary reports from 10
to 20 letters a day coming from
strangers in the East who want

Whether you call 1t piazza or
veranda, If it is anything larger
than a yard square front stoop,"
you can transform 1t into that
last development of the modern
home, the porch parlor, or the out
door living room.
AS shade and seclusion are the
essential in comfortable outdoor
sitting room, 1t is for them that
the first expenditure is generally
made. Morning glory, wild Gu
cumber, wistaria or the fragrant
white honeysuckle make ideal sum-
mer screening; and the moon flow
|er, though its foliage is coarse and
its scent is heavy, is liked for Its
rapid growth in sunny exposures.
The old-fashioned chairs and an
old soft. long stored away in the
attic, may be resurrected and
brought forth to do duty once
more. A few cents worth of paint
on this old, furniture and several
cushions which nimble fingers
have covered with bright-colored
fabrics will do wonders In the way
of Frightening up this outdoor sit
ting room. Women make pillow
covers of everything from gray cal
leo to burlaps for their porches.
For the floor covering the, old
fashioned rag carpet is the best OF

with unbleached crash embroider-

The hammock, too, is indispen-
sable, and here, again may the gay
cushions be used. A willow chain
or two are useful and decorative as
well.

is to be used as an outdoor sleep

THE CHINESE REEL
By Harold Carter.

Horace Aloysius Upper, pro-
fessor in Chinese literature at
Gables college, was strolling over
the campus, lost in thought.
"Shall / or shall I not ask Miss
Virginia Smith to become my
bride?" he muttered. 1t was a
problem which had vexed many
of his waking hours. Miss Smith
was professor in mathematics at
a neighboring feminene institu-
ton. United, they would possess
a complete mastery of Chinese lit
erature and mathematics. But
Professor Upper was constitu-
tionally averse from rash and pre-
cipitate action.
The sudden swapping of string
and fall of light object at his
feet recalled him to himself. Upon
the ground lay a broken parcel
containing his last weeks laun-
dry. Thus reminded, he proceed
ed to the residence of All Win,
professor In Chinese saponifica-
ton to Gables college. There was
nobody within the shop. Step
ping through into the back room
Professor Upper perceived the
Chinaman seated over bowl
from which rose an overpowering
aroma. His eyes were closed, his
face CHASTITY white. Instantly
Professor upper knew that the
old man had been preparing
opium and had been overcome by
the fumes. 1t was the work of o
moment to grab him by the shout
ders and into the shop. There the
color came back to All Wins face;
he sneezed and opened his eyes.
That's a narrow escape you
had. All Win" said the professor,
reprovingly.
"You save my lifee," cried the
laundryman in gratitude. What
I do for you? Me washee free for
ever"
mo, no, All VIM" replied Pro-
lessor Upper. Let me see that
ring on your finger. Why, that's
like those in the Ming tombs
which were supposed to contain
magical properties"
Eyes, yes, magic" cried All
Win, placing the ring on the pro
fessor's finger. You turn him so,
all things of future lifee come to
you. You turn back--all pleas

Reveals the future. eh?" said
the professor, thinking of Miss
Smith. Lets seer" He turned
the ring.
Instantly he was out of the
shop and travelling at breakneck
speed toward Miss Smiths house
five miles away. He was there in
a couple of seconds and in the par

ginia?" he heard himself saying.

Smith. sinking her head upon his
shoulder. Something hit him be-
hind the ear. 1t was an old shoe
and they were whirling away up
ON their honeymoon. Then they
were back, and. quicker than
thought, a succession OF events
rushed past. ~It's a fine boy"
said the doctor. laying his FIRST

lessor was an old, white-haired

for fresh forward movement. AS
to Wall Street. Mr.. Clews' conclusion
is:
The stock market does not always
move IN sympathy with business af-
falrs 1t often discounts even.s in
advance. The present depression in
trade has doubtless been fully antici-
pated on the Stock Exchange; hence
the latter is more or less cheerful VIII lie

no unfavorable developments take
place still further improvement is pos
Sible.
An interesting feature of Mr. Clews'
letter is his treatment of the increase
OF the Lehigh Valley dividend from
to 10 per cent. He says: There are
some who think it would have been
better Judgment for the company to
have shown some favor to shippers
as well as stockholders" That is. if
the company Is earning 10 per cent,
it should reduce rates to shippers. a
conclusion with which most men, out

readily agree
