ADVERTISE CHURCHES
SAYS NOTED MINISTER

In his address to the members of
the Denver AID. club and the Minis
terial alliance DIR. Christian +. Refs
ner of New York said:
The value of church advertising is
beyond estimate. II must be recognize
ed that preaching is the great power
for moral pulift in the world, but the
most eloquent preacher and the most
powerful exponent of the gospel can
not sell his wares without an audience.
And in this modern business era he
must advertise to get the audience.
do not want to be accused of sensa-
tionalism, but | believe in any bait to
catch fish. Some of the greatest
churches in the world scarcely have
any attendance at evening services.
and out of the 100,000,000 persons in
the United States but 100000 at
tend church at all. We have got to
adopt aggressive, modern advertising
methods TO fill the pews.
When the church does business
along the lines of the modern, up-to-
date business house that advertises
its wares in the newspapers, then
that church will be successful. There
is no preacher who has anything pos
tive to say but can get an audience
by proper advertising. would
reach the golfer with golf and the
moving picture with pEckures and
advertise what | am going to do.
The newspapers of the country are
responding more TO the handling of
the news of the church. Every news
paper in Chicago carries a depart
ment of church news. The churches
of Denver are to be congratulated in
that one Of the daily papers of the
city publishing such strong religi-
Gus department and that it has such a
man in charge as Mr.. Burton
The advertising men and their pub
licity methods are needed in this day
and generation by the churches.

Little Economies

1t seems a small thing to mention,
but there is great waste in the prep
aration Of vegetables, especially in
peeling potatoes. In the days before
the potato peeler was invented a pub
lic-spirited man gave large endow-
ment to the college visited by his
agent that showed the greatest econ
omy in peeling potatoes. Perhaps
the old tale of the prince looking for
a bride, who asked for the bread
bowls in the homes of several charm
ing maidens, wishing to feed his
horse with the scrapings, nigh, be
well to revive Those who saved
much dough, thinking to gain favor
were disappointed for he chose the
girl with the bowl so clean that there
were no scrappings, as that indicated
to him a careful, frugal wife, for
which he was looking.
Where vegetables are to be served
alone, select the best looking ones,
leaving the less slightly ones for
soups, seasonings and stews.
A tablespoonful of peas or toma-
toes should be saved and added to
the roast beef gravy on the morrow
or to the vegetable salad A single
fresh tomato may be quartered and
served as garnish.
A half cupful of peas may be add
ed to tomorrow's omelet and thus
make a tasty dish rather than a
plain omelet.

dropped the case against Theo-

Hopkins was charged with i'm

parts of the city he was arrested
and later discharged from the po-

Members of the prosecuting at

have convincing evidence against
Hopkins. They claim it would
have been impossible to convict
him.
Others, however, were of the
opinion that the case was allowed
to slide until it was forgotten and
then dropped.

thrown over the entire bor-

A Word About
Preparedness

AS the first newspaper in Tacoma to preach pre-
paredness, The Times is convinced today, that the
nation even yet is only half awake to the danger
which confronts it.
It has been week now since the bandit Villa
raided an American city, killed American citizens in
his mad lust for blood, and got clean away, IN
SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE CITY WAS
SUPPOSEDLY GUARDED BY AMERICAN SOL
DIERS.
Although we've made lot of talk about what
we're going to do to Villa when catch him, OUR
ARMY is STILL GETTING READY. From El
Paso comes word that many troops ordered to the
border from inland points have not yet arrived. No
cars were available it seems, in which to transport
them.
"A lot of peanut congressman are cOmplcatlng
matter further by yowling around back in Washing
ton about the way President Wilson is handling the
affair. And all this, mind you, is not war; but just
little bandt-hunt
What would happen if the United States, to pre-
serve it's honor should have to 60 to grips with first
class world power? If one savage unwashed Indian,
fugitive from the law even in his own country, can
turn the United States topsy turvy like this, what
under the sun would do if we were called upon to
make war against Germany, or Japan, or England?
The Times has published preparedness warnings
since the very beginning Of the struggle in Europe
1t has published articles by the foremost experts in

which you are urged to read Russell has studied the
Swiss and other army military systems at first hand

and its sister papers. lie knows what he Is talking
about. His article appears on page s.

again, young fellow" said
Strauss. "Ill sit down with you
and show you some of the fine
points of the game"
Then the old-time gambler coll
lected his rake-off.
A beginner surely does need
to learn some of the fine points
il he wants to hold his own in
the pangingue game as il is play
ed in the room back of the A. &c
b. Smoke House.
The game is complicated and
full of pitfalls, and besides, the
odds are three TO one against him
in favor Of the house. Also, he
has to buck up against slick old
hands at the business, whose
business it is to trim him.

OWEN WOODS
Is NOT Sort of Commissioner
Tacoma Needs Now

Owen Woods has been a
tolerably satisfactory head
of the public works depart
ment.
He is a good boss of labor
ers.
He has been obliging when
complaints were made by
citizens.
He works hard.
He is practical
Personally, he is a good
citizen.
Owen Woods has NOT
been the kind of a city COM
missioner who deserves re-
election.
In appointing subordi-
mates and i'm hiring laborers
and he has many to hire
he has thought, first, of the
political capital which could
be made for Owen Woods,
and, second, of the eff
cheney which could be at
tanned for the city.
In Judging whether this
Improvement or that i'm.
prOvement should be made
he has been guided, first, by
the effect which would be
made on this group of resi-
dents or that group, and,
second, by whether the maxi
ing of the improvement or
the postponing of it was for
the best interests Of all Ia

coma.
As a city legislator his
voting has been BAD.
Maybe his supporters can
point to one single instance
in which he voted AGAINST
something that the T. r. a.
p. Co., the y. p. railway or
any other big corporation
wanted, and which citizens
generally did not wish them
TO have; but to the recollec-
tion of the intelligent by
stander no such instance
occurs.
lie would be an unsafe
man to represent the city in
the pending negotiations
with the T. II. & =. Co. over
franchise renewals.
In brief, Owen Woods is a
fairly clean, fairly honest,
fairly well-intentioned type
OF city official OF 10 YEARS
AGO OR 20 YEARS AGO.
He is the standpat kind.
While Tacoma has moved
ahead, he has remained be-
hind. He is not the sort of
man Tacoma needs today,
nor the kind we ought to
look forward to needing
three years from now, when
the term will be expiring.
Owen Woods should be re-
tired, along with Mills.

his cards on the table and drop
ped out of the game.

the lookers-on, IF YOU want to

was staked to dollars worth of
chips and got in.
In minute or so more Bruce
and Cap Lawrence also dropped
out of the game.
Strauss then turned his atten-
tion to one of the young fellows
who was new at the game, giving
him tips on how to play his
hand.
Once the newcomer made a

RAE TANzER NOT
TOBET TRIED AGAIN
Indictment Will Be Kept
Alive Till Slade Cases
Are Ended.

Rae Tanzer, indicted for perjury as
one result of her breach Of promise
suit against James W. Osborne, Will
not be placed on trial again. informal
notice to this effect has reached United
States District Attorney MarshalPs
office from Washington, the Depart
ment Of Justice having concluded that
in view of the disagreement at thn
recent trial it will be impossible to get
a Jury in this jurisdiction that would
convict.
For the present, however, no forma.
action TO dismiss the indictment
against her will be taken, the inten-
tion being 10 keep it alive until after
the indictment charging David and
Maxwell Slade with conspiracy to re-
tard justice, growing out of her suit,
is disposed of. At the Tanner trial
William Rand, jr., special prosecutor,
announced that the SHADES would be
tried in October.
The decision 70 drop the case against
Miss Tanzer is, it is understood. based
on a study of the record of her trial
and the recommendation of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office that in view of
the failure of the jury to find against
her on the strongest case the govern
ment could present any further effort
in that direction would be useless.
According to the gossip in the Fed
eral Building, there is some doubt as
10 whether the SHADES will be again
placed on trial. This is due TO feel
ing that because of the involved condi-
tion of the case il would be extremely
difficult 20 persuade a jury TO see the
case as the government does.
