SAD BLOW TO EUGENIcs.

The handsome swain declared his love,
She swept him with a glance;
She knew that he was strong and brave,
She knew that he could dance.
She'd heard him play the mandolin
And also sweetly sing.
''These arts won't pay my bills" she
thought,
The crafty little thing.
She turned him down as tenderly
As anyone could do;
Although he swore his life wrecked,
His bosom filled with rue.
She wed a gay old bounder. one
Who'd always gone the pace,
Whose money compensated for
The pimples on his face.

The story of the tragedy that came Into
the life of the daughter of George A.
Newett defendant in Theodore Roose-
velt's $4,000 libel suit, is told now as the
result of her decision to attend the trial
with her blind husband. Mr.. Newetts
daughter, now Mrs. George Nelson, mar
ried her sweetheart after he had lost
both hands and his eyesight In an ex-
plosion In spite of Nelson's plea that she
must not sacrifice herself for him she
pledged herself for life to him. Nelson
and Miss Newett were sweethearts from
childhood. He was ambitious, became a
mining engineer and finally went to Ari-
zona. Before his departure the young
couple became engaged. A few weeks
later Nelson accidentally hit a box of per-
cussion caps with a hammer. The ex-
plosion blew off both his hands and de-
stroyed his sight forever. Nelson was
brought back north. He refused to con-
slider marriage, but Miss Newett declared
she would not release him. Finally
against the advice of parents and friends
the marriage took place. Nelson, in saw
ing that he will attend the trial of his
father-in-law remarked: II will see
everybody. My wife is my eyes"

Glow is Miss Jones get

is the text of the question
which is asked us over and
over again by business men,
who have knowledge of the
fact that this or that student
is attending our school.
''Just let me know, Mr..
Beutel, about the time she is
ready to graduate"
You can't escape Your OPP
portunities, which begin to
crowd around you the day
that you enroll at our
school, unless perchance you
die.
Business men somehow or
other learn about your eff
forts to better your position
In life; they admire your
pluck and determinations;
your intention of being more
efficient than the average
young man or woman, and
they know that their busi-
ness is demanding just the
qualities which you seem to
possess.
We sometimes have to
warn our students against
accepting positions offered
them by business friends be-
fore they are sufficiently
prepared 70 perform the
services which are likely to
be required Of them. And
that isn't all. An UNDER
graduate might be able to do
the work In one particular
office and be entirely at sea
In another. Students should
not stop short of graduation.

OWNERS
CAN'T GET
LICENSES

Automobile owners in Tacoma
are running on last years num-
.bers, and some without numbers,
as the result of the mass of IL
censes applications received at
the secretary of states office In
Olympia. The officials are now
issuing licenses for which appli-
cations were received early In
June, and it may be two weeks
before they can get their work up
to date.
Licenses for automobiles in
Washington fall due on June l..
Hundreds of auto purchasers who
obtained cars between January
and June cunningly held off buy
ing their license until June, in
order to escape paying for the
half-year's license. AS a result,
all of these new owners. together
with the old ones, sent in applica-
tions at the same time when the
first of June fell due.
In the meantime the Tacoma
police realize the difficulty of the
situation and are holding off their
inspection of automobile license
numbers until they receive word
that the secretary's office has
caught up with the great bulk of
work thrust upon it.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-07-19

F. P. Smith, branch manager in
Tacoma of the Studebaker cor
poration of America, is probably
the most unusual agent in Taco
ma. Instead of hunting purchas-
ers of his car, Smith has actually
turned 'em away!
All summer this remarkable
dealer has begged, pleaded and
demanded in his eagerness to get
cars to fill 1fis Tacoma orders.
The Studebaker factory has been
overworked with thousands of Or
ders, and as a result Tacoma and
other Northwest cities have been
greatly sighted. During the
present season 81 cars have al
ready been sold and orders have
been received for almost as many
more. Many prospective pur-
chasers, after waiting for weeks
to get a car, have given UP and
turned to some other dealer with
a car Gust as good" Last sea-
son the record for Tacoma was
1913 cars, and the record would
have been exceeded in 1913, &C
cording to Smith, had he been
able to obtain enough machines.
In Washington the Studebaker
car ranks second in number of
sales to the Ford. In California
and Colorado, the Studebaker
record exceeds that of any other
MAKE car.
The latest machine, the 1913
Studebaker 49," is one of the
most modern medium price cars
on the market. One of its ex-
cellent features is a carburetor
adjustment gauge on the dash, by
which the gas and air can be reg
ulated to a hairs breadth with a
mere move of the dial.
The car has an electric starter,
electric lights and horn, and full
switchboard on the forward dash
board. 1t has a full floating
axle, with a long stroke motor.
The engine is 4 Is 5 inches in
