Dear Miss Roberts-This sum

Dress fashions change so soon
that unless your gowns are in some
artistic and unusual form that is
beyond the whims OF fashion they
will have little value.

The trouble is that unless the design

Judge you do not mean TO make a

The only other way you could

tend the fight for the eight-hour
day to Oregon and to parts of

I'VE will fight this thing to a

dent of the Single Weavers'
union, today. I'VE intend to

Where essential war work is

her, how old she was. And
she answered:

she said, "is taking many

clared Arne Jones, secretary OF
the Tacoma timberworkers' union,
I'VE intend to have every man in
Tacoma mills and in the camps
about Tacoma organized soon
1t will be impossible for the
mills to run unless they grant
our demands"
The final peace proposal which
the employers rejected yesterday
and which the strikers committee
looked upon with favor and was
willing to put to a vote of the
boards of the unions represented
was a compromise in which each
side was to give up one hour. It
was proposed by the state council
of defense.
The employers declare that
they will be able to furnish ma
terial for airplanes and ships
whether the strikers return to
work or not.
The first answer to the action
of the employers in Seattle came
when 40 out of 46 men employed
by the Pacific Coast Pipe Co.
walked out this morning, refus-
ing to work with unfair lumber.
A bill establishing an eight-hour
day by federal law for all en-
ployes of lumber companies that
do an interstate business proba-
bly, will be introouced in the ma
tional senate by Senator Poindex-
ter, according to dispatches from

and ending Of the lumber strike

A committee of prominent Se-
attic men were in Tacoma Satur-
day trying to urge officers of the
Foundation company. who are in
vestigating the Tacoma site, to
abandon the Tacoma location.
The Seattle men had already
staked out site at Seattle, and
tried by every possible means to
induce the company to forget
about Tacoma harbor.
Urge Quick Action.
Gen. James Ashton appeared be-
fore the city council early Satur-
day morning and declared that
unless the city took quick action,
this new plant would slip away
from Tacoma.
He explained that the officials
already here, who include big fins

mated to represent the French
government. were In favor of the

After the resolution had passed,
the Foundation company officials
announced that they were ready
to sign up for the Tacoma site.
They will invest several hum
dred thousand dollars in the plant,
to be located on Hylebos wafer
way, near the Todd plant, and will
have more ships under constrnc-

The dust was everywhere.
1t was on the floors and the
desks in the headquarters build
ing, where on two sides of the
main road Major Stone of the
quartermaster's department and
his staff, and the administrative
heads and employees of Hurley
Mason Co., contractors, swarmed
like ants.
1t was on the faces of the per-
spring clerks who were driving
pens and typewriters beyond the
speed limit.
1t was on the blue-prints over
which flannel-shirted men were
holding hasty conferences, stand
ing.
1t was on the shoes and the
clothing of the crowd around the
information desk.
Seemed Close.
From the steps of the admin
istration building the first unit
Of barracks seemed close by.
A 0,000-gallon water tank
looked like pillbox, and l mis-
took the frame work of the stables
for a new fence; but the barracks
doomed up encouragingly.
That, however, was not because
they were near, but because they
were SO big, I soon found out.
Uncanny Effect.
They are two-story buildings,
long and wide, and as battling to
describe as a face without fea-
tures-except for the little shelter
over every window, like an eye
lid, which gives them an uncanny
appearance of watching some
thing.
Some of them were finished and
occupied, cooks and dishwashers
hurrying in and out at screened
doors.
Farther along, some were occu-
pied tho not yet finished, and the
workmen were swarming thru
them as the cooks worked.
Dust, Dust, Dust.
Still farther, they were mere
shells, their eye-lided windows not
yet fitted with sashes, their roofs
gaping to the sun, and the rattle
OF hammers rolling mighty tattoo
across the parade ground.
Along the first rank / tramped,
conscious of the glance of the
lidded winows. Behind the first
rank was a second: behind that
a third; behind that was a fourth.
l did not go to see how many
more there might be. What was
the use? They were all alike.
The road had been oiled, but
the. whole prairie had been cut
and beaten to dust and there was
no keeping out of 1t.
Workmen, soldiers, mules,
trucks, wagons and automobiles
passed me, raising 1t in Sitting
clouds.
1t lay in horrid, irridescent pud-
dies where the sprinkling oil had
flowed too freely. 1t stuck to my
shoes and powdered my dress and
got in my eyes and gritted In my
teeth.
More, More, More.
And ahead of the lines of
barracks curved endlessly away.
There was something nightmar-
ish about their monotony.
When / had passed one rank

than before.
The dust held my feet back and
made my breathing hard.
