salary raise for the firemen
and policemen equal to 9TH
er eastern cities as our fire.
men are underpaid. From
my point of view it isn't the
high salaries so much that
makes higher taxes as other
expenditures. For instance
our water system upon
which we voted bonds to
the amount of 100000
and on account of poor man
agement, poor engineering,
incompetency, and a few po-
litical pulls and such as close
door deals, it has cost us
too much, and the plant isn't
finished yet. That's what
makes high taxes and not a
mere 100000 for salary
raises. Look at your insur-
ance rates If you don't think
our firemen are any good.
Tacoma firemen and police
are just as good as any in
the country. I'd like to see
the tax levy so low as possi-
BILE and as to tax payments
l think that when you look
over the names of the fire
and police departments you'll
find that some of them pay
taxes also. Yours truly,

Editor Times: Reading in
your paper several letters
about the wages of city en-
ployes I admit there are men
working for the city who do
not earn their money. There
are drones everywhere, but
the men who are at present
asking for higher wages are
men that need 1t. Why not
give these men, their raise
and do away with the public
market, $4,000. During this
summer l went to the public
market three times to buy
fruits. In pricing straw
berries they wanted $1.50
per crate and on going to
other places / got the same
for $1.25. The idea of the
public market is to buy d.
rect from the farmers. You
can't do it in ours. I say,
cut out $4,000 for a public
market such as We have and
give the policemen, firemen,
engineers, oilers and others
higher wages.

Canaries in Mines.

About fifteen years ago DR.. John
Scott Haldane, who had studied condi'
tions in Cornish collieries, suggested
that canaries could be used to ad'
vantage for detecting poisonous gases
These delicate birds are very suscept'
ible to impure atmosphere, and can
Thus be used to give warning before
a man feels the slightest discomfort.
The first test of canaries in real
mine disaster in this country took
Mace at the Cross Mountain mine ex'
n,osion at Briceville, Tenn. Here the
government rescuers. equipped with
oxygen making machines upon their
backs and carrying Gagged canaries'
were followed by squads Of unprotect'
al volunteer rescuers. The birds were
watched, and as long as they remained
cheerful all was we'll. but when their
wings began to droop and they gasped
for breath it was known that the men
without oxygen machines must ven
ture no further.
The canaries drew the, line of safe

cuers were exposed to the dangers OF

In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on wOmanklnd the
right to propose marriage in leap year.
Here is the law, just as it was written
the parliamentary records:
