Howard f. Coffin, chief engineer of
the Hudson Motor Car Company, and
Andrew J.. Riker, chief engineer of the
Locomobile Company, both past presI-
dents Of the Society of Automobile En-
cineers, have been selected by almost
unanimous vote Of the society TO serve
on the civilian advisory board which is
being organized by the United States
Navy Department.
Secretary Daniels recently requested
the Society of Automobile Engineers,
together with other scientific societies,
20 appoint members TO this board, and
Messrs. Coffin and Riker were selected
TO represent the s. A. f. after gen
eral vote among the members.
Both men have been intimately con-
nected with the automobile industry
for years, and their wide experience
will unquestionably prove Of great SER
vice to the Navy Department.
Mr.. Coffin is a graduate of the engi-
neering department Of the University
of Michigan. Not all of his associates
are aware that ne spent FIVE years OF
his life in the postal service OF the
United States. After retiring from the
government he was engineer for the
Olds Motor Works. the +. +. Thomas
Detroit ompany and the Chalmers
Motor Company.
Mr. Riker was a moving spirit in the
first work of the Association Of Ii
censed Automobile Manufacturers. lie
has been an automobile designer ana
engineer since boyhood. Before he was
twenty-one he had developed an electric
vehicle which attracted attention. and
he subsequently did much original
work in the steam carriage line.

expense by dissolving a teaspoon
full of canthrox in a cup of hot

massage briskly. This creates a
soothing, cooling lather that dis
solves and removes all dandruff,
excess oil and dirt. Rinsing

takes on glossy richness of nat

CONCLUDING ARTICLE

This country sells to the Far
East, the west coast OF. South
America and to Western Canada
more furniture and refrigerators
than the Northwest produces. Ia
coma can deliver that product
cheaper than any city where IL Is
now made, and has the raw mate
rails, the power at an extremely
low rate-and why is she not sell
ing that trade?
The same question may well be
asked concerning nearly a score
of other lines of manufacture
scarcely known in the entire
state, not only Tacoma. And
why-why is Tacoma not now
manufacturing these?
The answer may be very large
ly found in the fact that Tacoma
has prospered too rapidly in the
past. Like hundreds of other
cities she has basked in the sun
shine of prosperity that came
easy with the natural growth of
the great Northwest, and the cit
liens were content to "let well
enough alone" And so long as
that condition obtained the citi-
zens were justified - provided
no responsibility for the days
when that abnormal wave of
growth and prosperity had passed.

Relied Too Much on
Her Attractiveness

BUT, Take Tacoma" and is
she doing what she ought and
easily can to profit by all these
things she has?
Tacoma must not be censured
for her splendid work in literally
exploiting the attractiveness of
herself and her country = her
greatest criticism lies in the fact
that she had too much faith in
relying so largely upon that ex-
ploitation.
And what should Tacoma do?-
That question has been already
answered. Figure out exactly in
dollars and cents what the city
is good for and then go out and
tell the world the same. If you
have merchandise to sell, you
must sell it by showing its worth;
and so with Tacoma

Time Comes When Real
Work Must Be Done

And IL ALWAYS PASSES for
every city-has done so I'm all his
tory-and the time comes when
aggressive work must be done.
While Tacoma and other Coast
cities were growing many central
and eastern cities were losing
their people migrated to points
where the Eldorado and the
Elysium we're promised. And
new Eldorados and Elysiums will
ever be found-and Tacoma and
her sister cities will certainly
feel the effects in loss of prestige,
power, population and prosperity.
What is Tacoma going to do
about it? No it is not pessimism;
it is merely looking the facts in
the face as they are. City build
ing Is business that belongs to
the businessmen of the city Just
the same as their respective bust
nesses. Prosperity may happen
to any man and just as he neglects
to care for the foundation upon
which the future is builded SO
will he suffer losses sooner or
later.
Here is Tacoma with a magnif-
icent harbor in close and econom-
ic touch with half the worlds
foreign buying; with power cost
SO low as to save manufacturers
in many lines from 2 to per
cent on their selling volume;
with railroad facilities for in
land shipping that reaches a mar
ket of ten million American buy
ers; with her public utilities
largely city controlled against ex-
orbitance; with a class Of resi-
dents second to none in any city
in all the country as to citizen
ship; with all the social and edu-
cational advantages any city
could desire; with a per capita
wealth that compares favorably
with any city; with a civic spirit
among her citizens that should
be the envy of nearly any other
city; with a surrounding agricul-
tural area Astounding in untold
wealth; with an open Water
Gate" to every port of the South
made a New South through the
opening of the Panama Canal,
and brought in economic touch
with the East; with many assets
that are vitality interesting to that
great pulsing, impatient, seeking
manufacturing industry so largely
congested in the eastern section
of this country which finds it
must find new locations where
the tides of population and of
new methods of merchandising
discloses greater profits. There
industry would seek to lead her
vast employing population to
spend their wealth in making
their homes among the people of
Tacoma.

EXPORTS DROP.

Tacoma's import business for
the month of July showed a gain
over June of $S52,302 while the
export business fell off consider
ably, due to the liabilities of ship
pers to obtain ships. Seattle's ex-
ports were more than 100000

amounted to $1,493,094, while

Lay aside the dreams of the

and produced near at
