As she heard footsteps APP
preaching on the inside she want
ed to run away, but the door
opened and a kindly faced woman
asked her to come in. She had
seen many another like, this little
girl approach that door and she
understood.
The house to which this mere
child went was the White Shield
Home.
1t is a refuge for girls who are
in trouble through the perfidy of
man,
1t was established % years
ago, being built by the good
women of Tacoma on lots donated
by Allen c. Mason.
For % years 1t has been OPEN
ing its doors and gathering IN the
unfortunate girls and saving
them from lives of shame.
The little girl entered, and be-
tween gushes Of tears told the old
story of lack of parental care,
forced into the industrial field to
work, she sought some recreation
at the picture shows. met a young
man, went to public dance, then
to a cafe for lunch, then infatua-
ton, protestations Of love from
the young man, and now she is
at the White Shield Home.
No one will ever know the
mental anguish this child of a
girl has passed through in the
last few months when she found
she had been deceived and sinned
and that her sin could not be hid

CENTRAL LEAGUE STILL
AFTER PORT COMMISSION

The Central Improvement
league Is still working on the
proposition of port commission
The report of the committee was
read Wednesday advocating the
holding of another election the
latter part of November. It was
laid over until next week for dis
cussion.
Some of the members are op-
posed to going ahead now and
want to wait until the legislature
meets to get new kind of law
under which to operate.
In the meantime the city Is get
ting ready to spring a project that
will furnish all the dock facilities
the city will need in the immedi-
ate future and that will be very
inexpensive.

of last summers vacations have
been snapped by kodaks to be
preserved that the same thrills of
joy may be experienced over
again when the pictures are
brought out and reviewed.
The Times expresses a hope
that those who have entered pic
lures in this contest have en-
joyed it, and especially the prize
winners who have been taking
their friends to box parties at
the Empress and Pantages thea
tiers.
But the big prize has not yet
been awarded. 1t is a kodak to
ne presented by the Shaw Supply
company, 919 Pacific av. Next
Saturday the Times will announce
the winner of the kodak.

den. She heard of the White
Shield Home and went to see,
and it took her in. Now her Sc
cret is safe.
No one will ever know the name
of the little girl that went there.
She will be instructed, taught,
given new ideals and when ready
to GO back into the world will be
found a place where she can lead
a good life.
Possibly the young man may
come to see the proper course,
and there may be a wedding. 1t
has often resulted.
II have often attended little
girls only 13 years of age at the
home" says DR.. Ella ]. Fifield,
"and the men responsible for them
could be severely punished, but 1t
means the final ruin of the girl,
for. she could not appear again in
society, and SO no prosecutions
result" f1g
The White Shield Home has a
capacity for 10 girls. But 1t is
entirely inadequate. Girls come
from all over the Northwest.
Most of them are from Tacoma,
but many come also from Seattle
and other cities.
The building also is out of date
and not suited to present needs,
and the managers of the institu-
ton are now starting q campaign
to gather funds for the erection
4x.s
Sites have. been tentatively Sc
lected, and when the money is col
lected fine fireproof building
will be erected and the work will
be put on a basis where it will be
able to care for many more than
are now taken.

SHE ARRESTS II

Stirred up by the arrests made
by Mayor Seymour himself,
through his secretary, Pure Food
Inspector Miss Allstrum, who had
been insisting she was held back
and not allowed to arrest any
bory, has proceeded to get busy
herself. Yesterday she swore
out complaints against IL down
town fruit stand dealers on
charges of failing to keep their
wares protected from dirt and
flies.

Tacoma has demonstrated that
municipality owned and operated
wharves will pay and has given
the country an object lesson In
how to get away from the dicta-
ton of private waterfront mo-
nopoly.
In cold figures. here is the
record:
RECEIPTS

Six months in 1912. 6,5O4.42
Total ~ months. SIS, O8O. ~
Profit TO the city In IL months
-$14, 72O.5S.
The total investment of the
city In the wharves which yielded
this return was as follows: Real
estate, $4,000; buildings pur-
chased, $23,350; remodeling
buildings, $29,178, making a to-
tai of $142,528 invested.
At Az per cent interest for
which the bonds were sold the
interest charge for the II months
was $9,072.01, which leaves a net
profit to the city of $5,648.57.
But the figures tell the small
part of the story.
They do not tell that through
the operation of the municipal
wharf over $4,000 of strawber-
ries that formerly went to other
ports were brought to Tacoma
and shipped out by rail and used
In the city, reducing the price to
consumers rs per cent below fig
ures in former years. They do not
show that the mosquito fleet to
other sound ports through the
encouragement of the municipal
wharves has increased tremend-
ously and many new boats added
and commercial relations estab-
1ished with other cities that never
before were brought into contact
with the city.
They fail to reveal the wonder
ful stimulus given to traffic and
the thousands of new citizens
brought to the city to trade, all
of which has been of great bene-
fit to the community.
At the present time the re-
ceipts of the municipal docks Is
exceeding $4,000 month, of
which over 1000 is profit above
operating expenses.

MRS. MARY A. BAIRD.

We regret to record in our columns
tonight the death of Mrs. Mary A.
Baird, which sad event occurred at
her home 8 miles north of Pawnee
Rock en- Wednesday, last, at which
time she was rs years, 8 months and
Is days old. Deceased was born in
crawford Co., Penn, came to this
place in all early day and with her
husband, had the pleasure of rearing
a lar re family of children and seeing
them grow into the bone and sinew
of this locality. Hel life's work was
We'll done and her leward we know
will be a fitting ore. Mrs. Baird
was a good, Christian woman and
died strong in The belief that there
was a sweeter world in the great be-
yOnd, to which place she was answer
ing the call to come, from Him who
pilots each and all Of us in his own
good time if We have lived our lives
in accordance with the divine plans
laid down for us here on earth. Co
incidental with the death of Mrs.
Baird, it was Just six years to the day
since her husband passed away. The
funeral services were held at the
home this afternoon conducted by E.
L. Nicholson, of the Methodist church
after which the remains were laid
beside those of her husband in Paw
nee Rock cemetery. A large number
Of neighbOrs and friends attended the
last sad rites, giving ample testimony
that one who was held in the high
est esteem had departed from their
midst. The sorrowing ones have the
sympathy Of all in their sad bereave-
ment.-Pawnee Rock Herald.
