IN LIN f
JULY
TacOma's big preparedness
parade will happen July 4,
during the Montamara FestO.

This vas practically decided on
today after members Of the Ia
coma branch of the Northwest
Businessmen's Preparedness
league had conferred with the
Festo committee Of the CONNER
cial club.
The plan of Stephen Appleby
and other members of the league
at first was to hold a big Citi-
zens' parade entirely separate
from any organization or event,
just as was done in New York.
Later, however, ii was decided to
kill two birds with one stone and
make the demonstration Of Ia
coma's demand for preparedness,
the big event of the Festo.
The Preparedness league will
appoint committee some time
this week to work with the Festo
committee in the plans for the
parade.
mot less than 10000 in line"
will be the slogan.
Franklin Fogg, member OF the
Preparedness league, today was
named director of the event.
The Commercial club, business
men, patriotic, civic and fraternal
organizations are planning to get
together to make it the biggest
parade ever held in Tacoma.
All patriotic citizens who have
legs will fall in line.

City Bridges
In Bad Shape;
Fund Broke

Extensive repairs on city
streets and bridges will be neces-
sary this fall to prevent serious
accidents, and there is no money
in the treasury to pay for the
work, according to Commissioner
Gronen today.
The commissioner said that q
bond issue appeared to be the
only salvation.
Gronen has just completed q
general survey of the city.
There are at least three bridges
that are in such bad state of re-
pair that they will have to be
closed when the winter rains
start, unless they are rebuilt or
strengthened before that time.
The "fill" of North Both ST.,
in Old Town, is in such danger
GUS condition that 1t is liable to
collapse this fall. A repair job
would cost at least $4,000.

EVERETT, May 10. - A
surprise was sprung by the
plaintiff in the Lyen $4,000
alienation suit, in superior
court, when Attorney Hart
challenged all testimony
which the defense proposed
to submit to prove that the
reputation of Esther Alden
Lyen was bad before her
marriage to Cecil Lewis
Lyen.
Lewis knew what she was
when he married her, he said.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lyen knew what
she was when they forced Lewis
to marry her. All marriages are
equal under the law.
81 can cite your honor a num-
Der of cases to prove my conten-
tion that these defendants eau
not now start out TO prove a
thing they believed to be true
when the marriage took place.
when they consented to the
marriage, they condoned all these
things they are now charging.
He Had His Choice.
Lewis had his choice of going
to the penitentiary or marrying
the girl. He chose the latter.
"He has cheated the peniten-
tiary, and now he tries to cheat
Justice by trying to bedraggle
this girls reputation and justify
ing his acts"
Judge Ralph c. Bell sustained
the objection in part. Later he
allowed testimony to be taken to
test the veraeity of Mrs. Esther
Lyen.
A Fraternity Brother.
Jay Dootson, the first witness
called by the defense, told of sew
eral episodes in which he thought
Alden Wilson acted in manner
unbecoming a lady. On cross-ex-
animation, Attorney Hart asked:

Fishburne. in his statement of
the case, declared the govern

a year.
I'VE are ready to prove that
after the officer had persuaded
her, Mrs. Bibb earned $40 the

go there to earn more money for
him.
Two Other Indictments.

in Bulloch, so it would appear some SEN

of the towns in that good old boiliwick.
Alice May is in Macon county and Alma
in Appling. We hope this announcement
will settle the question as to where Alma
lives Anita, we find also in Bulloch;
indeed, there seems to be an endless col
lection of feminine municipalities there.
Anna is in Baker county and Belle is

While we have a way of talking de-
spairingly or jokingly of the hot and
humid weather that is our portion every
summer for the most part, as a matte
of fact, as we all know, every mothers
son of us and every woman goes about
his or her duties just as If we really lived
in the north temperate zone, as the par
allels of latitude call for and not in the
steaming tropics, as the temperatures
and the humidity indicate. This Is Tia
kind of thing that makes for national
temperament as well as temper. We are
the only great group of civilized peoples
that elsewhere would be given over to
siestas and relaxations from work and
amusements save those that spelled cool
ness and comfort 1t is this kind of
thing, too, taken in connection with our
vigorous winter circulation and low
temperatures, that differentiates us
from the Europeans from whom we
sprang and from which springs the
American type. Anything, indeed. is pos
sble to those who endure typical Au-
gust hot wave and still cheerfully and
even good humoredly achieve a daily stint
of work that would be considered more
than enough by the most efficient work.
