EDITOR THE TINES:


l have read your paper for a
number of years and take much
pride in the way it exposes bad
conditions of the city. But there
is one line of immortality being
practiced right under your nose,
and 1t seems strange your paper
has never exposed it.
Nearly every hotel in Tacoma
has from one to five women in
them registered as soldiers wives,
when in reality they cannot show
a marriage certificate. They are
using this method to throw the
police off from their trail.
1 have seen their soldier part
ners bring other soldiers in to see
them, for immoral purposes.
! have heard some soldiers
make the remark, "She is only
my woman; sent for her to come
so I could have a good time with
her."
Was standing nearby and
heard a soldier make the remark
he was going to telegraph for his
Jane to came to Tacoma and he
bet she would make the dough all
right. Well, she arrived all right
and is now practicing her trade in

Profiteering

Editor The Times: think
that a little publicity on the
following would bring results.
There 10 a common practice OF
profiteering carried on by the
commission house men within the
gates of our city, who, ! have no
doubt, have their wheatless and
meatless days like true American
citizens. But after weighing chick
ems in from the shippers, they
feed them as much wheat as they
think they can get away with,
then weigh them out to the re-
taller to be dressed for market.
dressed 20 spring chickens to-
day and there was from three to
four ounces Of wheat in each,
which brought the commission
house 20 cents a pound-solne
profit, almost cents per head.
OF course, II you kick they COM
promise, but most of the time
they get away with 1t, because
the retailer passes 1t on to the
consumer at from 25 to 80 cents
a pound.
This was only one coop of
chickens. How many have gone
from the various commission
houses since "Hooverize" has been
the hue and cry? Many bushels
of wheat have been wasted In
this and similar ways and will
be as long as such practices are
allowed. x. Y. z.

WEDDING BELLS MUST
WAIT UNTIL new Year

Mike scalare. bright young
Italian of Tacoma, and Teresa
Mazza, pretty 14-year-old Italian
girl, eloped last Friday and in
tended to get married.
But they didn't wed. Instead,
Ecalare found himself under ar
rest Saturday night charged with
abduction, and his pretty sweet
heart followed him to jail, crying
her eyes out because of the end
Of her romance.
And the most bitter blow Of all
came Monday morning.
Teresa had convinced her father
that Mike was a good boy and
would be . loving husband.
Mike showed Mazza that he had
money in the bank and was capa-
BILE of supporting Teresa properly.
He also proved that he was not a
"slacker," as Mazza had charged.
