CITY WILL BUY 10
MORE STREETCARS

nounce the new industries that
are coming here, but deals have
already been consummated for
new plants of immense size on
the flats which will bring thous-
ands of workmen," said Commits
sioner Atkins.
To Double Track.
"The Is passenger cars won't
be any too many to accommodate
the rush"
Commissioner Gronen will pur-
chase the cars with funds of the
city light department He will
lease them to the municipal car
line until such time as the line
can take them over out of its
profits.
The council 10 also agreed on
double-tracking the car line at
once from the Milwaukee shops to
the Todd shipyards. The line
then can accommodate double
header trains on a five-minute
schedule.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-11-22

With new industries assured
for the Tacoma tideflats which
will increase the number of
there by many thousands,
and an immediate necessity for
better street car facilities on the
car line, city officials
are considering the purchase of
10 more cars at once.
Commissioner Atkins, head of
the street car system, made prep
arations to leave for Chicago
Thursday night, where he has
been offered four interurban mo-
tor coaches and six big trailer
cars for $4,000.
With the cars already pur-
chased for the city's line, this
would bring the system up to Is
passenger cars and one freight
motor. The car line is two miles
long.
Leasing Coaches.
In the meantime, in order to
alleviate the increasing cOnges-

senger coaches from the O.-W. R.

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that is to dissolve it,
then you destroy it entirely. To
do this, just get about four ounces
of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this Is all
you will need), apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it In
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how
much dandrmff you may have.
You will find all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

SHACKLEFORD
in CO. JAIL

T. w. Shackleford, brother of
Judge Shackleford of Tacoma,
arrested for passing bad checks
here, was placed in the county jail
Thursday, booked on an "insan-
ity" charge.
simultaneously the sheriff's
office received a notice from Sc
attic that he is wanted by author
tiles there on bad check charges.
No complaint charging insanity
has been filed in the superior
court, tho 1t is known that Judge
Shackleford has been consider
ing filing such charges for some
time
Shackleford, according to Off
cials, has been passing bad checks
freely both in Seattle and Taco
ma. Until recently his brother
here has been making them good.
An insanity charge against him
was heard before Judge Everett
Smith in Seattle several years
ago, but he was released. 1t is
understood Judge Shackleford has
refused to make good any more
of the checks.

The Times is very glad to
print this letter from Ser
geant Mirat, and we hope
that all bad feelings which
had been caused by the re-
mark which was attributed
to him will be wiped out.
In a remarkable interview
printed i'm The Times a week
or SO ago, he was quoted in
cidentally as remarking in
connection with the German
invasion of Italy. 'In Italy
the soldiers threw their
hands in the air." This re-
mark has aroused consider
able resentment among local
Italians, who interpreted 1t
as a slight on the courage Of
their cOuntrymen.
The reporter who took the
interview did not so UNDER
stand Sergeant Mirat, nor did
he mean to give such an inn
preston. Perhaps he word
ed the remark badly. He was
simply seeking to quote the
French army man as point
ing out that the German VIC
tory in north Italy was moth
ing Of great and decisive mo-
ment.
As the latter elOquently
points out i'm his letter above,
''Italy and France have never
been SO close by the heart, by
the soul, by the arms" as
now, and The Times trusts
that this condition will con.
tinue and that the same
brOtherly relation always will
exist between both of those
great nations and OURS

Drafting Aliens
EDITOR THE TIMES:

pertaining to mobilizing all aliens
from Fl to 40 to fight with United
States troops In Europe.
In answering Mr.. Bowden' !
question, you say the British gov
eminent has enlisted Is regiments
in the United States since the war
began. Don't you think the Brit
ish government ought to draft all
their young men in the United
States between the years of FL and
81? 1t is no more than fair to
our American boys at Camp Lewis
that these young British boys
should go along with our boys and
help in this fight.
Has England drafted their men
at home the same as has been done
in Canada?

German none yand intrigue
are stirring trouble anew In
Mexico, it was authoritatively
stated today.
Hundreds of Teuton agents,
availing themselves of Mexican
neutrality, are responsible for
the recurrence of fighting and
plotting by Villa, Zapata, Pelaez
and Felix Diaz.
The real seriousness of the
problem lies in the fact that the
output of the Tampico and Tux
pam oil fields may be curtailed,
while the difficulties near the bor-
der might ultimately divert some
of Americas war strength from

Bees That Are Bandits.

A New Jersey man is accused by MS
neighbors of keeping a species OF bees
that. instead of honestly making honey
from flower and clover bloom, thievish-
ly plumber the hives of all the work
ing bees in the neighborhood. II Is
asserted that this man, although ne
has not kept an honest bee In seven
years, regularly sells more honey than
any other bee man In the Delaware
valley. No doubt these allegations VIII
surprise most people. The bee has
been commonly looked upon as incor-
ruptibly honest and as an unyaryihg
model Of industry. Indeed, 1t was
fir m the pee that man first learned
that industry and honesty go through
this world hand in hand. The man
or the bee that won't work is bound TO
have unhealthy views and improper
practices regarding the rights OF prop
erty. The degrading effects Of idle
ness have long been observable in man.
But it has been thought that the bee
IS of a higher order.-E:chaDge.
