Why Use Mr. Russ Stag Build Jety for the Fishing Flee

benefit of valuable industry?
True, many of our fishermen already have
moved to Salmon bay because of our lack of fa-
cilities for their fleet. But they would return.
They still are Tacomans at heart, and they
might bring others.
And anyway, such jetty would keep in Ia
coma the fishing industry that we now possess,
and be the nucleus for greater industry as the
business developed.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS

To whiten and beautify the
complexion permanently we have
found no better preparation than
a lotion made by dissolving four
ounces of spurmax In a half mint
OF hot water, then adding two
teaspoonfuls glycerin. This re-
moves any pimples, shiny, muddy
or sallow appearance, and will
make anyone's skin clear, smooth
and velvety. II does not show or
rub off like powder; in fact, 1t
seems a part of the skin; and for
removing tan and freckles is un-
equaled.
1t is necessary to shampoo
more frequently in the warmer
weather because of excessive dust
and the fact that the head per-
spires more and Is usually more
exposed to the weather. The east
est to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend
to our readers can be prepared
very cheaply by dissolving a tea
spoonful OF canthrox, obtained
from your druggist. in a cup of
hot water. This rubbed into the
scalp creates a thick lather, sooth-
ing and cooling in its action, as
well as very beneficial to scalp
and hair. After rinsing, the scalp
is fresh and clean, while the hair
dries quickly and evenly, devel-
oping a bright luster and a soft
fluffiness that makes IL seem very
heavy.

self down in municipal history as city builder,
About two years ago the fishermen Of Old
Town set up a loud clamor for a fishermens
jetty. At that time there were several hundred
fishermen sailing out Of Tacoma harbor, all
spending their earnings here, and maintaining
their homes in this city.
The fishermen asserted that occasional win
ter north winds made Tacoma harbOr danger
Gus anchorage for their fleet of small boats.
They declared that they would be forced to take
advantage Of the Port of Seattle's fishing head
quarters at Salmon bay, unless Tacoma would
do something.
The fishermen were earnest, sincere Taco

mans. They wanted to live here. They wanted
to spend their earnings here. And the net
earnings of the fleet amounted to many thous-
ands of dollars year.
The city had no money for a jetty. Although
plans were drawn, and the administration was
emphatically in favor Of such an improvement,
there was no fund with which to accomplish it.
Instead of dumping that refuse Stag in front
of Point Defiance pavilion as protection for
handful of pleasure yachts and where it posi-
bly, would be an eyesore on beautiful land
scape, why couldn' t 1t be used for fishermens
