IITHE Last Days of Pompeii." ;"
This sounds ambitious as a
i spectacle for portrayal on the
modern stage. yet the Pain
fireworks Company have undertaken
this gigantic task with successful re-
suits. Pompeii. the rich, the resplen-
dent, flourished before the wondering
eyes of a thousand Washingtonians
last night at Fifteenth and H streets

poured forth its smoke and lava,
swamping the city at the time of its
holiday celebration.
AS spectacle. THE Last Days of
Pompeii' is a wonderful success. And
TO add to 1t, there is an additional fire
works display of the highest order.
Or course. the witness of the spec
tacle may be slightly annoyed at the
anachronism OF first class English
ballet and group of aerial artists en-
tertaining a Roman populace. Yet,
leaving aside this historical inaccuracy.
the show has little Of which one NAV

HOW BILLY PIGS TAIL WAS CURLED.

I<(VV HERE are you going, Billy

" one morning as Billy
Goat was passing the
garden where he was working.
oh, I am going to the BARRIERS tc
have my whiskers trimmed a bit and
have an extra curl put in my horns, '
replied Billy Goat. "You better come
along If you are going to the party
| over at Spotty Pigs tonight"
Billy Pig said he was. but he hadn',
/ any whiskers and no horns, so he didn't
see why he should go to the BARRIERS
But you have a TAIL" said Billy
Goat. Il can assure you II will look
much better curled. Did you ever wear
it that way?'
Billy Pig said he hadn't. and he
guessed he would go along and see IL II

So he dropped his hoe, and without
telling his mother where he was going
went along with Billy Goat to the bar

Now. the barber was old Mr.. Dog. and
when he saw Billy Pig coming along
with Billy Goat he was very much
pleased. for never before had a pig
been to his shop. although he had tried
many times to have one Of them come
in and have a curl put In his tail.
Good morning. Billy Pig" he said, II
am delighted to see you, and If you will
only let me fix you for the party I can
assure you that no one will be more ad-
mired than you.
Besides that, You will set the style
for the country around, for no pig has
ever before had his tail curled."
"Will 1t hurt?' was the first question
Billy Pig asked
Not much" answered Mr.. Dog. but
l., It does just a very little. you know.
what does that matter when you think
OF the style it will give to your appear
ance and the distinction of being the
first one to bring out the style of wear

Billy Pig watched Billy Goat while
Mr.. Dog trimmed his whiskers and then
curled his horns. although Billy Pig
could not see that Billy Goats horns
curled one bit more than when he sat
down in Mr.. Dogs chair.
He did not wish to be impolite. though,
so he said he thought Billy Goat looked
very fine, indeed, and II he could look
half as we'll himself. he should feel re-
paid for coming.
You will look far handsomer." whis-
pered the flattering Mr.. Dog. Il should
not want Billy Goat to hear me say
so. but you are a much finer looking
fellow than Billy Goat. and when you
get your tail curled he will be terribly

The city is rapidly filling up
its Dock street land in front of
the waterfront with new indus
tries. Dock Superintendent Hall

crease each year.
In addition to the boiler works

REPORTS BIC
REAL ESTATE
BOOM

According to unanimous reports
from several of the leading real
estate firms of Tacoma, the de-
mand for properties of all descrip-
week of late. The indication for an
active market this year is espe-
oially evidenced by the number of
sales of vacant and investment
properties, 1t would seem.
"The past ten days have been
good ones in our sales department"
said C. H. Lind, president of Lind
Koehler Company, yesterday after
noon. I'VE have closed a number
of deals involving close-in unim-
proved corners, while at the same
time the demand for cheaper build
Ends is notably on the increase.
We have sold two medium priced
apartment houses this month also.
There is a considerable amount of
satisfaction to me in business of
this sort. as 1t lends a healthier
than has prevailed for a long peri
cd of time.
"There has been little or no de-
mand for over three years for va
cant properties or investments with
average returns until very recently.
We have been selling a number of
medium priced homes right along
but the deals have been of a rather
unsatisfactory nature. as invaria-
bly, the properties were sold at a
sacrifice and upon very easy terms.
OF late the whole atmosphere of
things has been more optimistic
and the majority of the sales in
volving residence properties during
the past sixty days have given the
owner a fair price and good, sub
stantial terms of payment. Recent
business includes several all cash
froncanttnnC The Immediate r
look is certainly very pleasing from
our standpoint--so much so we
have added two additional men to
our sales force this week"

CLAIM PEOPLE
WANT ANTI
ALIEN BILL

SACRAMENTO. April 10
Protests which poured into the
legislature against the anti-alien
land bills have absolutely no eff
feet upon lawmakers, according
to every scion who is willing to
talk on the subject,
THE matter is practically out
of our hands," is the invariable
reply. 1.-THE people of California
demand stringent apti-alien laws.
and IL we don't grant the demand
they accomplish such action ny
the initiative"
So strong has been the sentf-
ment of the people that not q
single senator or assemblyman
can be found who will admit op-
position to the anti-alien law.
Some favor amendments to the
measures now before the senate
assembly. but If there are any
who oppose the law barring aliens
holding lands they are keeping
discreetly In the background.

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, April
19.-That a stutter is not an in

was learned at the Little Falls
creamery when a man used it to
impersonate customer of the
creamery. Henry Wuellner of
Belle Prairie is a patron of the
creamery and his check is usually
collected by his son, Charles
Wuellner. Saturday man called
at the creamery and asked for Mr..
Wuellner's check, amounting to
$10.2S, giving the correct number
of his cream book. He was not
questioned, as his appearance was
the same and he possessed the
same impeachment as has Charles
Wuellner.

MILLER COMES
TO TACOMA TO
GET SENTENCED

To probably be sentenced for
the FFisher burglary and perhaps
for perjury, Peter Miller was
brought over from Seattle today.
A number of probate cases were
on Judge Clifford's docket, so he
was unable to reach the case this
morning.
Judge Glasgow, attorney for
Miller, declared he was going to
argue to set aside the habitual
criminal charge against Miller and
also for new trial in the per.
jury cases. If these motions are
denied, then Miller will be SEN
fenced, and probably notice of ap'
peal given.
Glasgow declares Miller cannot
be sentenced as habitual Grim.
inal under the law. He says the
Fisher burglary was alleged to
have been committed in 1909, be.
fore the present criminal code
went into effect.

We expect to begin using the
