presidential automobile be regu-
lated by local speed laws2 This
is becoming an interesting and
rather practical question in
Washington Recently, while re-
turning from Arlington. the White
House automobile being spurred
by a thunder shower hit up the
pace to close to a mile a minute.
Travelling the streets of Washing
ton, the White House machine
seldom goes slower than twenty
miles an hour, which is seven
miles faster than the local speed

Scared into the heart of beau

warnings, which she now urges,
with all earnestness, upon the at
tention of every girl In the couR-
try.

Rodeheaver, golden voiced
choirmaster" for billy" Sunday,
the noted evangelist.
Did you ever kiss or caress
Miss Jay?" the choirmaster was
asked.
He lodged.
Again the same question.

five weeks of our acquaintance"
he answered. But my inten-
lions were honorable" he ex-
planned.

Miss Jay sued for $50, 900. A
unanimous jury gave her the ver-
diet and $4,000 heart balm.

Miss Jay at the close of the trial
Girls must be very careful

that Homer Rodeheaver brooks

The story of Rodeheavers'
coirtship covers a period Of about
five years.
Miss Jay said Rodeheaver ask
ed her to be his wife in these
words:

paniments. We haze waited two
years now. and that is long

Miss Jay said: MY answer

Rodfeheaver denied there ever
was an engagement, but that he
had expected at one time 60 ask
her to marry him.

BEFORE THE NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC IN
LONG WHILE.
It's up to the school board to explain this
mess.
The school board, with it's usual independ-
ence, decided that the citys municipal plant
the finest asset the city has-should not furnish
the Lincoln High school with light and power.
It resolved to build of it's own. A
"model" power plant equipped with steam
electric generating plant and topped with 1.-THE

The deal was slipped through and the plant
was built before anyone had time to yell. The
plant was stuck in hidden corner behind the

being constructed until 1.-The cute little chimney"
began to stick its nose above the adjoining roofs

OPTIONAL AMOUNT OF CURRENT WAS
USED.
The interest on $20,911.75 at go would be
$1254.70 per year. The cost of experts to run
the model electric plant will average about
$4,000 per year In these two items alone the
new plant will cost Tacoma $6,054 year, or $500
per month.
Tacoma's municipal power plant, built with
money from all the taxpayers, and expected to
furnish juice to home, manufactures and schools
could supply current to Lincoln Park High
school at a cost far less than what we will have
to pay in salaries for running the schools pow
