East Revealing In
Wealth, Says Bean

Just returned from a month s
vacation trip through the east,
during which he visited his old
home in Atlanta, Ga, Louis
Bean, manager of the Tacoma
Railway & Power company, to-
day declared that the east was
fairly revealing in prosperity and
wealth.

Bean this morning. I'm New

much money that they don't
know what to do with 1t. / am

They are simply revealing in
wealth. II seems that they have
been so intoxicated by the return
of prosperity that they are try

spending money. 1t is the same,
on a smaller degree, in every
big city in the east

assault on the IL year old daugh-
ter of Leonard White, will go to

BURGERS Get
Candy and Gum

Burglars broke into the Horn
Holmes general store, 9Th and
Proctor, last night and carried off
large assortment of candy, CT
gars, tobacco, gum and a dozen
pairs of overalls. Entrance was
gained by prying apart two iron
bars on a window.
Because of the narrow aperture
through which the thief entered,
police believe boys committed the
crime.

SEATTLE, Feb. 16.-It takes
a pretty good man to intervie4
king.
That's the opinion of Emil
Edward Huria, the state univer-
sity's contribution to Henry
Ford's Oscar ii. party, who has
just returned home.
Emil was editor of the Univer-
sity OF Washington Daily when
the call came to help the boys
out of the trenches, expenses pre-
paid. Emil grabbed his grip and
went.
"I'll just drop in and inter-
view the king of Sweden when
get over there" thought Emil,
as he sat on the rear platform
of an east-bound train.
Emil was the official repre-
sentative of Alaska with the
party. He planned to thank the
king for what the Swedes have
done for Alaska.
He let Lee White, of the uni
versity journalism department,
In on the secret when he wrote
a note explaining his plot.
Daily Tells of Plan.
Later the whole world knew,
when the plan was printed on
the first page of the University
of Washington Daily.
Now Emil is back-and he
didn't get the interview.
The truth is, few of us Amer
leans realize the difficulties con-
nected with such an ambition.
Eagerly, we called Emil up
early this morning at the Kappa
Sigma house.
Hello" he said, sleepily.
