Take Warning

The decision of the city council yesterday to give
the Tacoma Water Supply Co. new lease of life
through franchise extension ought to serve as a
warning to Tacoma voters at this time.
No good reason was advanced for the city's giving
away this right.
No adequate public discussion of the subject has
been stimulated Apparently nobody except users
of the North End springs water were canvassed on
the subject; and surely the people at large have
much right to an dispersion of opinion have the
North Enders.
The chief moral we attempting to draw from
the incident this: That the voters Of Tacoma ought
to insist knowing just exactly how every candidate
for council stands franchise matters before they
east ballot for him.
There several valuable franchises to be acted
on in the next few years. and Tacoma wants them
acted on saney and from standpoint of public
ice and public welfare. not in the hereit-is-o on a-s
verpatter spirit that moves present commission.

Into the Courts

Now for another burst of .stop-look- and listen
ing, the sound of small gas explosions and the tinl-
ling dribble of employers gold,
A temporary injunction has been granted in Oynl-
pa to stop the circulation Of the fish bill and the first
aid bill, two of the four initiative measures filed re-
Gently by the joint Legislative committee of the state
grange, the farmers union and the state federation
of labor.
Under the mask of public welfare" W. k. en-
poyefs of Tacoma, Seattle and other towns are try
ing to prevent the people of the state from attaching
their John Henrys to the direct legislation measures
through the W. k. court route
One of these measures provides first aid for in
jured workmen
The other would force the fish concerns to pay
their rghtfu amount of taxes in the state where they
do their business.
Both bills the employers assert would be 'detri-
mental to employees well as to empoyeIs!' As if
the employees won't have sense enough to decide the
matter for themselves.
Some day, it is suggested these same employers
may learn through sad experience to tkle their cash
for something that might get them somewhere

Birth Registration

One of the aims of Better Baby Week is to impress
on parents the Importance of birth registration.
There are laws and ordinances a-plenty demand
ing the registration of all births but physicians as
general rule are apathetic regarding them and the
mother says:
''Why should l trouble to register my baby Will
lit make it any heathier!'
The answer to the latter is at Will'-by giving
health officers an opportunity to check up the
chd's health
And here are reasons why it is worth while for ev-
cry mother to register her baby's BIRTH
1t is the child's proof of citizenship.
1t will be needed perhaps, when it comes time for
him to enter school or when he seeks to go to work
1t may be needed later in regard to life insurance
or the settling of estates for proof in the matter
Of inheritances.
Lack of such a record might prove bar to a civil
service position or seriously hinder the settling of
some point of law. There are dozens of such in
stances i'll everyday life where record of ones birth
will prove of value.
With such vital statistics the work of state and
municipal health officers is seriously hampered
Birth registration is badge of citizenship and
every mother should demand that the family doctor
register Immediately the birth of her child

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins It.
The best thing for steady use
Is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (which is pure and
greaseless). and is better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy father. which rinses out
sasily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft. and the hair fine and, silky.
bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will SUM-
ply every member of the family
for months.

l looked at my little nurse
gravely. Some way l sensed the
tragedy, and yet l could only see
it coming from one direction. At
that moment, however, there was
no hint of it in the radiance of
her smile.
Evidently her mind had not ar
rived at the point where the sor-
row began.
81 wish, Mrs. Waverly, you
could have seen Harvey's face
when l took him over that dear
little apartment, she said. II
don't think he had ever seen be-
fore any rooms except those that
had been furnished by profess
sional directors.
He was simply delighted. He
sat down In every one of the
chairs. He examined the pictures
from every angle; he fingered
carefully the few pottery vaces
and pieces of copper that | had
placed in the living room. His
wonder at the little red Chinese
lacquer framed mirror over my
beautiful old Sheretan desk was
purely of admiration. Most of all,
was he pleased with the tiny
kitchen and the pretty dining
room.
Darling, I always knew you
were my wonder girl he said,
but l never realized that you
were a regular little home maker.
Why, there is more of that in
tangible something which salts
flies in this tiny place than in all
the rooms of my mothers great
house,

physically.

And then he stopped to kiss
me on his way to his place at the
other side of the table.
Grace before meat was his
smiling remark.
Don't, Harry I expostulated.
i don't want You to be the least
bit sacriligious, for you see am
rather afraid. We must be very
good If we would live happy ever
after in this place.
'Croaker,' he said fondly and
he came around the table to kiss
me again.

table, and he lighted cigarette,

stretched out on the long dull
blue velvet divan smoking, but
there was moody shadow on his
face.

said. l sat down on the edge of
the sofa. and he pulled me over
nearer him.
And then like lightning from
clear sky came the words, Alice,
my parents will never consent to

a moment I could not quite realize
what he was saying.

mIratlon was our predominatng feeling read
W. III. Paulhamus announcement that he is not
candidate for governor and his reasons for not run
ming.
If he had decided to run convinced that he
would have been Washington's next governor
He had everything in his favor. Nobody could
have fought him effectively.
He could have won, and we give him credit for
being astute and well enough informed to know that
he could have won
Instead, he determined to stay by his work in the
fruit growers association. He has built up a CO.
operative enterprise that ranks ahead Of anything of
the sort in the country, and he felt he could not at
this time lay down the burden of conducting it. Pos
slbly there was nobody available to whom his duties
there could be entrusted with safety
AT any rate, Paulhamus decided to stay in the
fight for the farmers His decision challenges our
admiration. 1t arouses our regret, because the
state too needs man of his type and calibrc at its
helm And as we remarked in the beginning, we
cannot tell whether admiration regret speaks the
louder.

Golf Balls.

History tells us that at first golf balls
were nothing but round or nearly
round pebbles about the size Of the
sphere used at present. These were
supplanted by the hand cut wooden
balls and then in turn by the feather
ball. Then came the gutta percha ball,
OF which an interesting story is told.
1t is said caddie in Scotland picked
up discarded football shoe with a
gutta percha sole and tore of the sole.
This he soaked in water until 1t was
soft and then nodded it with his hands
to the size of golf ball, Thence 1t
was only a step to the nodded and
hammered gutta percha balls, which
endured until as late as 1898. when the
rubber cored ball was first brought out
in the United States.
The rubber cored ball, the foundation
Of the ball of the present, was not tax
en- into England until three or four
years later, and it is interesting to note
chat in 1905 Aleck Herd, who was the
only player in the fied using the ball,
won the British open championship
