How About Making 200 600 Fly Traps In Tacoma Public Schools

anybody in making traps
We suggest to the school authorities that
here is notable opportunity for real service.
Let the manual training students manufacture
fly traps 10000 of them or 10000, if that many
can be used effectively.
BY doing the thing up on such a large scale
the cost Of materials should be cut to low fig
ure. It is quite possible that public spirited
lumbermen and hardware dealers would volun-
teer to give the necessary lumber and wiring.
In fact, The Times is almost willing to wager
that it could name offhand several firms who
would be glad to do that very thing.
not, surely public funds which could be used
for the purpose.
The youngsters studying manual training would be
lighted to undertake the crusade. Es
And think what 10000 or 10000 fly traps
would do to the demoralized fly horde which
escaped all our other deadly pitfalls

the circumstances of the disaster
says the formal report of the court,
the court finds the loss of said ship
and lives was due to damage caused
the ship by torpedoes fired by a sub
marine of German nationality.
In the opinion of the court the
act was done not merely with the in
tention of sinking the ship but also
with the intention of destroying the
/ lives of the people on board"
Other salient features OF. the report
are tina tthe lifeboat and lifebeit
| facilities were adequate; that the
demeanor of the crew was above all
! blame and that the conduct of the
passengers, barring a slight panic
! when the steerage passengers came on
deck, was praiseworthy.
The court also found that the ship
was unarmed and carried a cargo OF
| general ammunition consisting only of
| 5000 cases Of cartridges, from which
| there was no explosion.
Survivors In Audience
A small gathering composed almost
entirely of survivors of the Lusitania
| and their relatives listened to the read
ing of the findings by Baron Mersey,
| of Toxeeth.
The report was a distinct disap-
pointment to the American survivors
VINO expressed indignant surprise al
the portion which eXonerated Captain
/ Turner and the Cunard Line from all
blame and commended the discipline
| of the crew.
Several attorneys representing AM
erican clients listened to the reading
which may have a great effect on ac-
tions brought against the steamship
company.
Among the spectators were Walter
Webb Ware, representing the Wander
| bilt family; Major F. Warren Pearl
and Mrs. Pearl of New York and F. B
( Jenkins. of Chicago, survivors. and
/ William Crichton of New York, whose
/ wife was lost
! Before reading began Major Pearl
who has followed the whole case close

t cision would sharply condemn the
officers of the shi pand of the .Cunard
| line for negligence.

handling the ropes of the boats" LORD
Mersey said, but in my opinion there
was no incompetence or neglect"

that he wouldn't return unless his SAL
airy is continued as usual is the tale
that has set Courthouse circles gossip
ing this morning.
Four clerks besides Mr.. Houseman
are affected by the new vacation plan,
it is understood. three of whom are
girl transcribers. The single excep-
ton is a niece of the recorders, who
was only recently put on the tran
scribing desk, and who, 1t is expected,
would not desire vacation this sum-
mer.
New Precedent? Decidedly
Never before has the office force had
upon them--without pay. Two weeks
vacation with pay has been the rule.
Saving of office expenditures" is the
reason given for the new departure in
vacation theories. All told it is be-
lieved that the plan will mean a saving
of at least $500. Half or this will go
into Mr.. Wickersham's pocket.
Recorder Wickersham was asked for
verification of the report that has
the county Offices buzzing.
There's nothing to that for a news
paper story" said he smilingly.
"But are you going TO give your
clerical staff months vacation with
out pay?"
That Things May Not Be Twisted
"Oh, I don't know yet. That hasn't
been decided. There's really nothing
to It,"
DO you mean this will not be
done?"
II didn't say that That's the way
newspapers get things twisted. ! said
there was nothing to it for a news
paper story. I've nothing to say. How
could that interest or concern you?"
This is a matter that affects the
county recorders Office, isn't it?"
How can that affect the public p"
replied the recorder. I'm put here by
the public to conduct the office prop
erly and as economically for the
county as possible. and If 1 do so
