A plan to turn over all park
ings in the city of Tacoma to the
park board, and allow that body
to line the streets with shade
trees, and to maintain smooth,
level lawns on the parkings, was
launched today by Mayor Faw-
cett.
Members of the council unani-
mously offered to support the
mayor in his move to make Ia
coma more beautiful, and 1t was
agreed to ask the park board for
its opinion on the proposition.
Secretary George L. Cover of
the park board expressed hearty
enthusiasm over the idea today,
and promised to put 1t before the
board members.
Tacoma is handicapped be-
cause 1T has no universal system
of shade trees" said Mayor Faw-
cett, "and because the owners of
vacant property In the residence
districts take no care of the
parkings, thus spelling the efforts
of others in making the street
beautiful. II the park board

Estimates differ, but the total

hundreds of body brushes, which
local druggists say they could

than Flynns price; barrels of

10 MEN SHOT in
RIOT AT BAYONNE

BAYONNE, N. j., July Ga
Ten men-four guards and six
strikers--were shot today when
rioting was resumed about the
Constable Hook and Underwater
plants of the Standard Oil Co.
today.
None of the men was killed
outright, but all we're rushed to
hospitals. The guards are said
to have been hurt worse than the
men.
The battle occurred Just about
daybreak. after sniping between
guards and strikers had con-
tinued all through the night.
Searchlights played constantly on
the walls of the plant where the
operators expected the strikers to
attempt to gain entrance.
1t was shorty after o'clock
when an attempt was made by
strikers to fire the plant with
oil-soaked waste, but their ad-
vance was met by fire from the
guards, and two of them fell.
They were carried away by COM
rades, and the extent of their
hurts is not known.

bits" on the collections in en-
velopes, where he requested that
sums as small as a penny be sent
him; on the admission fees paid
by all those without coupons; on
the admission fees to special
meetings, where he crowded the
tent with racy lectures on sex;
on the courses of lectures he sold
at $40 per, or IS for shorter
course; on profits on body
brushes and hair dope.
II Flynn overlooked any finan-
cial bet, it's not noticeable.
Flynn's crowd was small last
night-less than half a tent full.
There was an air of show-us!
However, Flynn did not show.
He passed over the question of
his age, and even denied he had
claimed to be over 40. However,
he has made definite statements
that he was a broken down man
at Al, before his own system of
training brought him back to
health. He has linked this state
ment positively with the state
ment that this was 38 years ago.
Also Flynn has made claims
that between the ages of so and
go, he talked to millions. How
a man not over 40 could do that
is just bit of Flynn-flam mys-
tery.S
It's been a great show, great
game for Dad. A month from
now we'll all be laughing at it,
or else swearing.
