Use Paper
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
The wonderful value Of paper
for keeping one warm should be
understood by everybody.
Perhaps particularly so this
year, when clothing, coal and food
are so costly.
A year ago in our cold snap l
brought the subject up to a boot
black. He explained that he had
a family of 10, including two
babies.
told him of some of the ways
that he could use newspaper for
keeping his folks warm. Several
weeks later, in the hardest part
of the winter, he rushed up to me
on the street and thanked me for
the good that he and his family
had received from using paper in
the cold weather.
Now, If everybody were to bring
this subject up now, at the very
threshold of winter, many can be
saved much suffering beyond
doubt. / believe every newspaper
in the country should at this time
print information on the use of
paper as protection against cold.
Furthermore, school teachers, min
listers, settlement workers and
others could bring up the subject.

A Streetcar Rap

EDITOR THE TINES:
In reply to Mr.. Beans advertise
ment now running in the papers
regarding the nickel that we pay
for the privilege of riding in his
CD cars, i have this so say:
Carfare is something you hand
indirectly to a group of gentlemen
to manipulate the stock of q COM
pany that is paying on the install
ment plan for the car which you
buy the privilege of entering.
The process is simple.
First, as a citizen, you vote to
elect to office a man who votes to
sell the carfare privilege to others,
who in turn, votes to water the
stock for the benefit OF certain in
siders.
Second, as a passenger, you pay
twice as much as the service is
worth, to provide enough money
to pay interest on the stocks and
bonds watered beyond the labor
spent on the road.
Third, you stand up while doing
it.
It's a game of uplift:
A put-up, a stand-up and hold
up.

Nagging Mother

EDITOR THE TINES:
For many years it has been my
custom to dine or visit at the home
of a friend and, to my dismay, !
always found that | was glad to
get away from it after a very short
stay.
This girl is really a lovely girl
in many ways, but her mother has
fairly ruined her with constant
nagging and faultfinding. She
can see her daughters faults,
never her virtues.
The girls hair is never just
right, her face is either too shiny
or has entirely too much powder
on it; she should have worn this
dress instead of that, or these
shoes instead of those; she should
have said this or that to Mrs. -
or should have said something
else.
The girl is now a nervous
wreck, horribly self-conscious.
Fearing that her mother would
not approve of her doing or say
ing a thing, she has her mind on
herself constantly thinking out
every word or movement before
carrying it out.
Never being right in appearance
in her mothers eyes, has caused

Says Husband
Regards Her
AS a Sister

Complaining that her HUSBAND
regards her as sister, Alice
Bigger filed suit for divorce
against John R. Bigger in the SUI
perior court Wednesday.
She says she married him when
she was 18, and as she was young
for her age," didn't understand
what she was entering into.
She declares she "has no love
for her husband, only sympathy
as he is 10 years older than she.
Their continual attempt to live
together, she asserts, is wearing
on her, and she can't stand 1t
much longer. She asks for the
household furniture and the chill
dren, while he is to get the horse
and wagon.
Divorce suits were filed by Ly-
dia Jones against Thomas Jones,
charging desertion, and by Stella
Rychecki against Nickoly, charg-
ing cruelty.

Hard Luck for
Seattle Hunter

When Isaac Frear, 1921 44th
street, S. W., Seattle, arrives at
the Nisqually flats Wednesday aft
ernoon on his duck hunting trip,
he will be a sadly disappointed
man.
Frear's large grip, containing
shotgun shells, rubber boots, pro-
visions and all the necessities of
a hunting trip, fell out of an
Olympia auto bus at 18th and Pa
cific Wednesday noon. The bus
kept on going, no one noticing
that part of the ballast had tum-
bled off.
Police officers picked up the
grip and took it to the central sta
ton, where it awaits Frear's re-
turn.
