It's SANDER, Vapid War Chat and Per-
sonaIities, Says College Paper.
Cambridge. - Harvard students are
accused Of being frivolous, if not worse,
in their table talk by the Harvard
Crimson, every one of the thousand
who eat in Memorial hall being includ-
ed in the criticism. The editorial says:
zone thousand men are each wasting
three hours a day in intellectual dejec-
ton which might profitably be spent in
cultivating intelligent thought.
"Women. the war. athletics and per-
sonalities comprise the range of sub
jects. Among the first named virtue Is
apparently unknown. The weaker sex
is subject to slandering remarks whose
sole aim is to fill gap in the converse
ton.
when the talk wanders to the war
some one says, I hope those ID
- get licked and the subject is
closed. Even on athletics, where the
interest is keenest, desultory remarks
and blasphemies on Yale are the main
element. Interspersing everything are
biting personalities on another's phys
zeal or mental qualities. A tone of af-
fected cynicism crowns the whole"

Industrial Expert Will
Tell Tacoma How to
Bring Them Here

Admittedly Tacoma has not been making the in
dustrial progress to which most of firmly believe
she is entitled.
Undoubtedly the war has held her back And yet
we all feel that is not the whole trouble.
Most of us hold conviction that there has been
something wrong about the way we have advertised
our city. We have wanted factories. We have
brought few factories here or, at least, few
ones have here but in instance after instance
we have failed to gain the ear of the man who had
the industrial plant to locate
The Times believes it has learned few of the
sons for this failure-the real, rockbottom, basic
reasons
It is going to present these reasons to it's readers
They are not original with us. Leroy Tope is the
man who furnished the ideas.
Mr.. Tope is an industrial counselor, an eastern
expert. He was sent here by group of monied men.
He investigated the possibilities of Tacoma and of
other western cities with regard to their advantages
and disadvantages for many lines of manufacturing.
Some of his conclusions he will embody in four ar
ticles which we will print next week. beginning on
Monday.
These articles are able and unbiased They show
the fallacy of sort of city advertising They
tain few unpleasant truths.
On the other hand Mr.. Tope points out some great
advantages possessed by Tacoma advantages
which, if rightly used, will send Tacoma long ways
on the road to industrial supremacy.
We hope his analysis will be carefully read It
may be the beginning of something big for Tacoma

Shortly after her third birthday
she composed her first complete
selection, the Doris Waltz" This
selection, with others, won for
her first prize at a competitive
concert given at the Empress the

was awarded first honors at two
more of those competitions.
The mother fearing the little
girl would ruin her future by TOO

her to abandon the piano until
matured enough to retain tech

NAL brought much wailing to the
home of Doris and once again she
was permitted to return. L..

time has caused her instructor

girl"

The edict has gone forth from

you are to be countenanced at all

visible as your nose or your chin.
Foreheads have always been
considered good form with old
Mother Nature; she'd never think
of asking anyone to get on with
out that very necessary feature,
but it's different with the Mother
of Modes-for years she's been
concealing lovely woman's fore
head behind bangs and ringlets
and fluffs and such.
Now all of a sudden she Is
changed her mind. She's made
allies of the old masters, and
she's enlisted the hairdressers,
and between them they've brought
the forehead back to its place of
glory.
For the new styles in hair
dressing women are studying
the old masters - Gainsborough,
whose women owe half their
beauty to high, marble-white
foreheads; the Vatican women,
whose eyebrows like aerial

While Wilson's Away.
While the president was on his

rotary Lansing was meeting with
the Pan-American diplomats in
New York, the interests decided
it was their time to strike.
AS President Wilson knows,

for years offered large sums Of
money to border bad men" to
organize armies of Mexicans and
Americans and make trouble
along the frontier. The San Diego

was the killing of all Americans

and Orientals, was financed by
these men.

For a day, armies of this sort

would protect American lives
along the border, but that he
would not be forced into war.

Is THE BANKING BUSINESS
MYSTERIOUS

The ony complication in the
business of banking is in the i'm
agination.-If people are selfish,
they live alone; If they are afraid,
they are uncomfortable; If they
are skeptical, they may avoid
banks--but If they are broad
minded, determined, confiding
people they will be most happy
and successful.
Let the mind realize that with
out banks no class of business
would be successful.
Let us determine to do our
part toward the community and
deposit our little amount In the
bank and pay by check-Some
day will bring the opportunity or
necessity to borrow. The bank is
your best friend, If you will only
cultivate its acquaintance. You
are surely welcome at the Puget
Sound State Bank of Tacoma.
