Look ASkance
at Shelters
Stag Project

The discovery by the park
board that Smelter Manager
Rust's kind offer to build a
breakwater near PIT. Defiance for
the benefit of the Tacoma Yacnt
club really is a cover for the
making of a giant Stag dump has
caused the park board to look
carefully into the proposition.
Probably it will not be accept
ed as now presented, said Secre-
tary Cover today.
The plan In its present form
would allow a giant pile of Stag,
400 feet wide, to be built from
the smelter dock along parallel
to the shore. Hundreds of thou.
sands of tons of Stag would be
dumped into the bay. The
"breakwater" would be a fair
sized peninsula, large enough to
build houses and construct streets
on.
so far as l know, none of the
board members favors the plan
as it is now" said Cover today.
The breakwater would be an in
tolerable eye-sore. Modified, the
proposition may be acceptable"

SLIPS IN TUB:
BADLY HURT

Hall Beals, ITO Ainsworth
avenue, commonly known as
Bud" Beals, a conductor, has
withstood, unframed, washouts
and collisions and wrecks on the
Northern Pacific railway for 35
years.
But 1t remained for a common,
porcelain bathtub to prove his
undoing. Coming through a 3d.
year service on Tacoma trains
without an injury, Conductor
Beals is crippled at the N. T..
hospital today so badly that he
may not walk for six months,
merely because he slipped on a
piece of soap.
Beals' knee struck against a
soap-container as he fell. The
knee-cap was broken and torn
back and the knee tendon was cut
In two.
The leg must remain in a plas-
ter cast for months as a result of
the unusual accident.

addressing his remarks to the
council, Mayor Faweett and news

moment later he added that he

now, anyhow.

Hale and breezy, under a cow
boy hat, Mayor Thompson and his
party were taken round Tacoma Is
sights by city officials, CONNER

of Tacoma ladies.
He was rather loath to discuss
the charge that he had enforced
the Sunday-closing law in Chi
cago, after having given the
"wets" prediction promise
that he would, as other mayors
have done, forget the law. Ills
enemies charge that he never
would have enforced the law but
for threats by dry" parties, who
recently have grown active In
Illinois, to impeach him.

Indications that even heavier

THE ordinary system of indi-

said, lis better than the lop-

Self-knowledge and self-mastery
are the most valuable traits in a

are possible in our time when the
objective study of character has
become real success.
All faculties of the brain that
