Dan Meehan, Columbia's star bask ct ball player and captain for next year. ought to make a f1rst-class sec- ond to Russell Beatty in the shotput. Az schoolboy at La Salle he was one of the best in his school days, though not quite chasing with Larry Whitney, now at Dartmouth.
 John Paul Jones, holder of the worlds record for running mile as an amateur, wilIgprobably never meet Abel Kiviat in actual competition at this distance. Jones is very insistent that he will close his athletic career when he graduates from Cornell in June. This being the case. Jones and kiviat will never clash.
 Hugh Rorty, one of the most capable mon handling an indicator in the Con- neetieut and New England leagues in recent years, will be missing in tho latter circuit this season. There is some hitch between Hugh and Jake Morse. The Worcester Gazette re- grets Hugh's going in this language; They are going to have a tough time finding man that will run the game in the Dusinssslike way which the ser- Tel topped Hartford boy did.

Sentiment will always rule in the making OF
marriages, + suppose, but love with health will
make for a far happier marriage than love with
out health.-Rupert Blue.


The pessimst will find little material on Wnlcn 10
work in Tacoma when he contemplates the building
record of this city and compares it with other cities
in the country. While many cities are doing less
building this year than last and many others are
showing fine records of prosperity in the building
trades, Tacoma is pushing right ahead with an in
crease of 454 per cent over last year.
OF course this tremendous increase in the value OF
construction work is due in part to the fact that big
school building came in June. But that is not the
whole reason. Tacoma is building more buildings
this year than last well bigger While last
year the number of houses started in June was 10,
this June there were 159. This shows a healthy,
gradual growth great boom, but just satisfying
development.
Not all Northwest cities show this same tendency.
Seattle has fewer buildings started this June
than last by 12 and Spokane fell off seven. Port
land Ore dropped off from CAB last June to 472 this
year. San Francisco has but 456 this year against
514 last year. and even Los Angeles, the booming
metropolis Of Southern California, which is the
mecca for the wealth of the world apparently has
dropped from 1891 last June to l $50 this year.
This general decline in all other coast cities, while
Tacoma makes great jump, means but one thing
the commercial and business world has come to rec
ognize the strategical advantage of Tacoma and is
gradually heading this way. They cannot close their
eyes to the fact that Tacoma is the tdewater point
that is bound to handle the Of the Pacific
ocean in the future.

IL THE A TER S IL
PANTAGES

Emma Carus Topped right
down into the placid byways of
Tacoma yesterday and sort OF
turned things all around on the
WWhite Way of Pacific avenue.
Emma flopped. Anyone who was
fortunate enough to see her in
imitably droll act at Pantages
theater yesterday can't imagine
her coming into Tacoma with any
other movement than flop. She
just carelessly does anything that
she perfectly well pleases, in her
own perfectly independent way,
and she gets away with it-big.
Miss Carus is mostly the
whole show this week. 1t might
be well to add, for those who
don't know about Emma, that
she has starred on Broadway so
long that we gave up long ago
the hope of seeing her on the
coast. She is a humorous, ludi-
crous, singing Coincidence, and
well, she lives up to these adjec-
tives, SO why go further?
Hill, Cherry and Hill have a
varied assortment of trick on
their comedy cycles. Alfred La
tell, in canine costume, scores
the same hit that he did when act
ing the part of Tige in Buster
Brown. Charles Nicholson and
the Croix sisters have a skit full
of comedy and fun. Ell Gotta, with
his xylophone, contributes lively
bit of music to the show.

AT THE PRINCESS

'"The Common Law" a daringly
sensational novel by Robert
Chambers that caused profound
interest throughout the country a
year ago, when it appeared in
serial form In a magazine, is be-
ing presented at the Princess
theater this week for the first
time in the Northwest. Despite
the intricate plot, carefully word
ed phrases and delicate outline
of love and virtue that thread
their way through the four acts,
Miss Warda Howard, John Lorenz
and the Princess players are CIV
ing an entirely successful inter-
probation of the startling novel.

No. 2I46

McNes Island must clean up.
The federal grand jury in it's report to Judge Cus-
man last week practically sustained the charges OF
Convict No. 2146 that the penitentiary was uncean
and tnsanitary and breeding place for the black
plague.
The federal grand jury, although declaring the
charges little Exaggerated made such strong
recommendations for wholesale house cleaning
that it is hardly probable that the department OF
Justice will pass the matter up lightly 1t is now up
to the department to accept the recommendations
as coming from well informed source, and to make
less barbarous the treatment of the misguided who
find themselves within the portals of this prison
That complaints have not received proper atten-
ton is shown in the jury's report that system
of filing complaints numbered blanks with car
bon copies be adopted and that the warden be re-
quired to account for each.
The report is considered of the most import
ant ever filed in connection with the handling of fed
eral prisons and Convict No. 2146, who started the
whole thing is the entitled to the thanks OF
cry convict and of every person who believes in Civ
ing the own-and-outer show.

MELBOURNE

Modern gambling methods that
have ruined more homes and men
than any other agency will be ex-
posed completely and clearly in
three reels of motion pictures at
the Melbourne theater today, to-
morrow and Thursday. The ex-
pose has been given dramatic
covering to make a story, but the
real interesting facts are in the
unearthing of all the crooked
paraphernalia that go to make up
a modern institution for gambling.
The way the apparatus is worked
is clearly demonstrated and no
one witnessing the many devises
employed to fatten the purse of
the house" will ever attempt to
"buck the tiger" again.

And terrapin too with my palate agrees;

But wondrous, indeed, are the inroads make
On cold mashed potatoes and leftover steak!
All me- how pity the mortal who dwells
In big boarding houses or costly hotels.
No matter how richly and grandly he dimes
With Frenchfred dishes and notable Wines
He know the delights of the deed
OF raidng the icebox in search of a feed;
He never know what it is to partake
Of cold mashed potatoes and leftover steak.
For when the forepart of the evening has sped
And the stomach expresses wish to be fed,
To satisfy hunger that follows the play,

All no. l would stick to my regular bunch
And dig in the icebox In search of my LUNCH
At home, in the kitchen, my fast would break
With cold mashed potatoes and leftover steak.
