Council cnam berS were crowd
ed Wednesday when the question
of leasing two floors of the old
Mccormack Bros store building
18th and Commerce. came up.
During more than an hour de-
bate between spectators waxed hot
and heavy.
Herman Martin, owner of a gro
Gerry and market In the North End,
and secretary of the Citizens
league, with Secretary Mcpherson
of the grocers' association, enter
ed the strongest protests against
establishment of new market.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Sproule,
owners of a butter and egg store
within two blocks of the proposed
market. were the strongest cham
pions of the market.
A significant feature of the SEES
sion was the fact that no reference
was made by any speaker to the
emergency war conditions, the
necessity of war market, or Pres.
ident Wilson's proclamation urg.
ing all Americans to assist in re-
ducing the cost of living by dis.
ltributing food directly from pro.
ducer to consumer.
Martin Protests
The grocers protested that II

EXCUSE

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May
ga divorced wife drawing
alimony will not be regarded
as dependent in interpret
ing the selective service law,
the provost marshal generals
office announced today.
ut is not sufficient for the alb
sentee TO obtain a registration
card and fill in the answers, for
he must file his card with the
county clerk where he happens to
be, or IL he Is in a city of more
than 10000 inhabitants, with the

reads.
THE clerk is required to fill
in certain information in the back
of the card regarding the height,
build, color of eyes and hair
whether the person registering Is
bald and whether he has lost
arms, legs and foot, or both eyes
or is otherwise disabled.
After this information has
been supplied and the clerk has
certified the card, 1t will be re-
turned to the absentee, who must
mail IL to the registrar of mis-
home voting precinct SO that II
will reach that official not later
than registration day. A self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope should
be enclosed with the card SO that
Ia registration certificate may be
returned to the absentee.
THE officials In charge of the
registration also desire to point
out that question 8, which asks
whether the applicant has de-
pendent child, mother or sister
under IL, does not intend to fix
that age as the maximum for
which exemption may be claimed
on account of dependent minor
relatives. The question is intend
ed only for purposes of census.
Twelve was the figure fixed in the
Civil war draft.
Question 10, In which the per-
son registering Is asked whether
he Is married or single, requires
an answer as to the present status
of the applicant. II his wife Is
dead or he is divorced he should
register as single.

drawing alimony, will not be con-
sidered as q dependent"

economy to the people of Tacoma,
and said there was no doubt but
that the public had an idea the
grocers were holding them up"
Others Champion Idea
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Sproule urg-
ed that public market was q
public necessity, and that the new
location would benefit more work
Ing men than the present site on
Market street.
Mark Dillon scored the grocerp
for their purely selfish motives
in fighting the plan" and argued
that even though the markst
should not be a money-makof,
other civic improvements, such -
parks and docks. were public ne
cessities although not revenue
producers.
A. X. MacLean, president Of the
MacLean Bros store, said he was
not a member of the grocers' assoc
citation, and that he thought the
market a good idea II II would
bring farmers in contact with the
public. 1
| A. f. Hoska accused the grocers
lof selfishness and said Tacoma
needed twice as many public mar
kets as it now has.
]. r. Turner, president of the
West Coast Steel Co. told the
council there was mo reason TO go
without public market Just be-
cause few outlying grocers cant
make a big profit under present
conditions.
Gronen and Atkins both an
nounced that thehy had inspected
public markets in Seattle this
week and found vegetables there
selling at so to 70 per cent cheap
er than In Tacoma.
Both, however, declared they
would not vote for leasing tho
18th street building, because they
lsaid 1t was not strong enough to
stand the weight Of the market.

SWAP YOUR IDEAS
FOR Ammunition
IN WAR on WASTE

The Century dictionary says the
word is derived from two Greek
words meaning "the management
of house." Economy means, ac-
|cording to the dictionary, not only
the saving of money, but 1.-THE
saving Of time, of labor, of effort,
and generally the expenditure of
means to reach the required end"
The end which The Woman's
Army Against Waste desires to
reach is the elimination of waste
from the American household.

WAR PLANS

There will be no special session of the legislature
called at this time, though it may be necessary later
Food prices will be controlled effectively. Indca-
lions are that the government of the United States
will deal with this question adequately. The state Of
Washington is prepared to take any necessary added
steps, such the creation of food board to do the
work of middlemen without profit.
The Northwest will receive as many contracts for
wood and steel ships it turn out. This is an
slrance both from Gen Cocktails and the United
States shipping board
If nothing ese the stimulated interest in food pro-
duction will probably bring the total wheat produc-
ton of this state to the same amount as last year.

was only 100000.

this year, except where absolute need demands them
