BY BETTY BROWN.

Which shall it be. a one-piece dress
or coat suit? This is a question
which grandmothers as well as de-
butantes will have to decide when
selecting a costume for the Easter
parade.
It's a hard choice. But the one
piece threatens 10 prove the best bet
SO far as general popularity is con-
cerned. 1t has the charm of novelty
and its effect is usually much more
juvenile than that Of a skirt and coat.
However, the one indispensable
feature OF the average wOman's ward
robe is the tailored street suit. The
generous fullness of spring coats,
and their collars and cuffs of remark
able size suggest the matronly rather
than the debutante type OF figure.

PROTEST
ASHTON'S
SCHEME!

To protest against the boxing
up OF Tacoma's waterfront, =
mass meeting of property owners
interested In the proposed replat
of the Tacoma tidelands asked by
James NJ. Ashton, will be held In
the city hall Tuesday night.
The meeting was decided on
after short session with the
county commissioners Saturday
afternoon, when the commissions
ers deferred action on Ashton's
petition until Thursday.
Ashton is asking for the replat
In return for 40-foot 'right-of-
way along 18th st.
The proposed replat would
knock out the dedicated streets
on the tidelands and would shut
off public access to the waterfront
along this large stretch of land.
IL 1t is accepted, the property
owners declare they will insist
that 1t include two waterways
equal I'm area to the vacated
streets. This area. the commits
sioners say. includes about 40
acres.
The motion of Commissioner
o Farrell that the replat be re-
jeeted will ibe before the county
commissioners for action Thurs
day.
Chairman Bellingham says the
commissioners do not have to ac-
cept the replat in order to pro-
coed with the work on the 18th st.
fill.
I'VE can go ahead and fill 1th
st. to the width of 100 feet and let
Ashton's 40 feet co." Bellingham
said. He added that Ashton pre-
viously had donated the right-of.
way to the county. replat or NO

Union ElcnIent Entcrs.

Union men maintained that tho
trust" had fixed an arbitrary
price on gravel furnished the
building.
j. IL. Lyons. recording secre-
tary OF the teamsters' union, de-
clared that his union had offered
to furnish union gravel To the
Pantages building, but was In
formed by the Savage Scofield
Co., from whom they would have
to buy the gravel. that the price to
them would be considerably high
or than the price already quoted
to the builders.
"Why. IL we'd build labor
temple In Tacoma" said Lyons,
wed have to hire your 'scabby'
In Dor to furnish the gravel.
The union organizations, repre-
scented by II. Roy Harrison, M.
Parsons. j. IL. Lyon, w. f. Dow
and Homer Bone. outlined plan
for municipal aid OF breaking the
alleged trust"
Council Favorable.
They said that II. Il. Borhek, a
Tacoma architect, who owns a
large gravel pit near Steilacoom.
would enlist In the antitrust
fight
The union men suggested that
the city erect a gravel bunker on
city property. allowing Borhek to
install part of the machinery, and
then rent the bunker to him. Bor-
HEX would agree. they said. to Sign
contract for five or seven years,
In which he would promise to de-
liver washed sand and gravel at
| his bunkers for So cents cubic
yard. The present price charged
by trust" members is IS cents,
the union men declare.
The union men declared that
the teamsters' union would furn-
ish motor trucks for hauling the
gravel. in competition with the
open shop trust members.
They were unable to quote
prices for haulage, however, and
the meeting was continued for a
week, to give them time to furn-
ish a written proposition.
Council members wer generally
I'm favor of the plan to reduce
gravel prices by aiding an indie
pendent concern.
