CORWIN MAY
BEAT RECORD
FOR NOME TRIP

SEATTLE, May S.-Destined
to lift the embargo of winter
isolation from Nome, Alaska, for
the 18th time. the famous little
steamship Corwin sailed from Sc
attic Saturday night with 102 pas
sengers and q full cargo.
Among the so first-class pas
sengers are many well-known
Nomeites, some of whom have
made the voyage North on the
vessel year after year. With the
Corwir's arrival in the big min
ing camp, the Boring Sea winter
will come to an end.
Since she began operation as q
passenger vessel to Nome in 1908,
the Corwin has won the honor
of being the first ship to reach
the camp from the outside world
10 different times, and, In addi-
ton, tied last year with the
coastguard cutter Bear. The
earliest date on which any vesy
sci ever reached Nome from the
outside world was May "a, the
record being established by the
steamship Jeanne In 1901.
Because OF the early disap-
pearance Of the Boring Sea ice
this year, the Corwin will clip
four to six days off the record,
barring mishaps. Her owners
figure she will drop anchor off
the mining camp between Nay
10 and 20.

ment's pension board today.
Arguments over the restriction
of pensions almost caused a bit
ter split among members of the
board.
AS 1t was, Fire Chief McAlevy
and three firemen member of
the board formed a faction, and
voted against Mayor Fawcett,
Commissioners Woods, Atkins
and Mills and Clerk Nickeus. Two
firemen were absent or that fac
ton of the board would have been
able to win.
We've got to stop the leaks in
this fund.-" declared Mills. II
hereby go on record that | will
not vote for any more relief for
firemen unless the fireman is sick
in bed or in a hospital. This
idea of giving pension because
a man has a boil on his neck, or
little cold, is all bosh.'

who have been on pensions, were

morrow.
Tacoma firemen declare they
are paying part of their wages to
sustain the fund, and they are
hostile over the attempts of CITY
hall officials to dictate the use Of
the money, Today's faction fight
is expected to develop into a per-

MOTHERS TELL
PITIFUL TALES

Nina Hanson does all the work
she ean--sewing, odd jobs, any
thing. But her husband is dead
and she Is determined that the
tour children, all under 10, shall
stay in school. About the best
sne has been able to average is 81
a week.
Drink Claims Victim.
Scott ID. Macarthur and his wife
had trouble and they were di-
vOrced. SO badly did this affect
Macarthur that he took to drink
ing heavily, and was taken to the
county jail, and finally to Stella
COON. Mrs. McArthur's heart was
softened, and he was released and
taken hack home. Then one day
he blew out his brains with a
shotgun.
Myrtle Fosters husband is in
trouble. Just what only the law
yers know, but anyhow he is in
the county jail and she and her
one child are in need of aid at
once.
Judge to Decide.
Florence Ryan Is only rs, but
her husband has been dead for
some time. She has one child.
Today, the applications of these
mothers for aid was received.
This week, Judge Card will de-
eide which applications are to be
granted.
All of them swear they need
county help. Until the mothers
pension law was passed, they
would have been ordinary charity
patients at some county institu-
ton, and their children would
have been taken away from them.
The theory of the law is that
it is better to give the money to
the mother and let her keep the
family together.

Up before Superior Judge Card
today came woman after woman
with a tale of misfortune and in
ability TO support herself. All of
them were asking mothers pen
sions, in order that they might
keep their families together in
stead of sending them to cbarita-
BILE institutions.
Carmelia Messina was married
In Italy ~ years ago. She and
her husband came to this country,
where they did well for time.
There are five children-11, 10,
8, Z and years old. Lately the
husband has contracted tubercu-
losis of the knee and cannot
work. They have their little home
--incumbered-but If Mrs. Mes
sina is to keep her four children
In school, as she does now, she
must lrave aid.
Mary A. DAVIDSON has a family
to delight the anti-race-suicides.
There are 13-seven of whom are
under 10 years Of age. Her hus-
band is in the hospital.
Forged q Check.
Until William Bison forged a
check or two, there was enough
trouble In the home, for he had
no work and there was baby
coming. He told the court that
when he wrote the CHECKS he
would have money from his folks
in the east to cover them. Any
how, he had to have the money,
for he had been unable even to
make running expenses, let alone
lay up bit for doctors bills. The
money did not come from the
east, and he was sentenced to
from one to 20 years in the peni-
Tertiary. Now the county must
cone to the rescue of the woman
whose support 1t has taken away.

AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS


A MOST significant note in the newer

rufles which were worn about two sea-
sons ago. These are seen on many of the
new models, and are used in practically
the same manner as they were used be-
fore-as trimming down the front of a
crepe de chine or chiffon blouse, or on
cuffs and sleeves.
one of these blouses was made Of white
crepe de chine, with low collar, with
touches of embroidered batiste on the
edges, in pale salmon pink. Heavy silk
frogs added n military note. and they
were also pink. \ narrow plated ruffle
of white crepe de chine outlined the fold
at the front. The price of this blouse

a lovely example of the successful COM
bination Of black and white is seen in one
Chestnut street shop. The blouse is en-
tircly made of white chiffon, very full.
with long sleeves and a low collar. The
only trimming was three wide rows of
black chiffon, which was appliqued to the
blouse by a fine hemstitching just above
the waist line. The price of this blouse
is $3.S5.
