Grads of Tacoma Shipping
School Given Fine Berths

Tacoma and Seattle graduates
of the Washington state free nav
igation school in Tacoma will be
officers on the first steel vessel
constructed for the u. s. shipping
board when she sails from a Pa
cific coast port on her maiden
voyage in a few months.
This ship was launched from
Northwestern shipyard last Sat-
urday and is the first steel vessel
turned out for the shipping board.
Prof. James A Gould, instruc-
tor OF the Tacoma school, enlisted
the cooperation of the University
of Washington and federal off,
Gals to assign Northwestern navi-
gators on the maiden voyage of
the first steel shipping board ship.
w. ]. Grambs, section chief Of

schools in the northwest, yester-
day notified Prof. Gould that ar
rangements were now under way
to assign local mariners on the
vessel, and that q full list of
successful students of the Tacoma
school has already been submitted
to the shipping card.
Another announcement of i'm
portance to the northwest is the
promise that every ship taken over
by the shipping board ON Puget
Sound or on the Columbia river
will be manned BY men who have
received licenses from the Tacoma

Soon Tacoma and the whole
country will be plastered with
sensational signs like that at the

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS"
1t Is intended to stir the Ameri-
can people to the realization that
their quarters will make dollars
and that their dollars multiplied
four times and with IL cents
added In each case will purchase
a $4.12 war saving stamp which
on Jan. /, 1923, will return them
IS.
The savings scheme has been
so perfected that it is believed
$4,000, 100000 will be raised in
this way to help pay for the war.
Easy to Start.
The campaign for the sale of
these stamps is to begin in Ia
coma Monday.
The plan originated in England,
but was much modified and i'm
proved here. In England there
is flat sale of a war savings GER
tificate at price equivalent to
about $3.S71s in our money.
In this country there is not
only flat sale of a war savings
/ stamp for $4.12, but il person
has very slender means and still
wants to lend the government his
money, he can start by buying Wal
thrift stamps at 25 cents each
trading these in for war savings
stamps when he gets 16 of the
thrift stamps.
Proved Success.
For instance, during December
and January these 16 thrift
stamps, plus IL cents will buy a
war savings stamp.
The plan has been enormously
successful in Great Britain, tap

never reached at all by the regu-
lar war loans, just as it Is hoped
in this country to get support

fine Emeralds and Diamonds, Diamonds and
Sapphires, Diamonds and Rubies, Dress and
Dinner rings of the most striking character. The
original prices ranged from $3.50 to $3.50. One
price is placed on the whole collection, $1475O
each.
IN addition to the fine Diamonds set forth we
shall sell the first Coral rings at one-fourth
to third less. Specially notable is the group at
1886 instead of $500.
Another tray holds big collection Of solid
gold rings with semi precious settings Topaz,
Ruby, Turquoise, Amethysts, Emeralds etc. All
are solid gold. The original prices ranged from
$3.50 to $1,000. We have re-priced the whole col
lection at $685.
Still another group of fancy rings is offered.
Smaller of course but none the less beautiful and
effective. These were priced from $500 to $500.
They are now offered at $2.85.
Diamond rings with small Diamonds in Tiff
any settings are still selling at $685.. These
were bought to sell originally at $500 and SIT.
(They have not been reduced AGAIN, however,
for the diamond drive.)
THE windows during the day will show these
diamonds but they will not be displayed at
night, due to the fact that few nights ago an
enterprising gentleman threw brick and escap-
ed in the fog with half dozen watches.
Any Diamond may be selected tomorrow or
Saturday and reserved for Christmas on pay
ment of reasonable deposit So there is no
need of missing the Diamond Drive for lack of
immediate funds.
I r we could make Tacoma realize the import
i ance of the Diamond Drive as thoroly as do
the salespeOple here in the store, don't believe
the building would be big enough to hold the
people who would come!

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. %.
-Hindenburg's invasion OF ltaiy
has been definitely halted and the
Teuton troops are now digging in
for the winter along the Taglia-
mento river, Rome cables today
stated.
Italian civilians, without distinc-
tion of age or sex, are being forced
to work on the entertainments.
With a severe snowstorm and
severe cold impeding the enemy's
communications the Italians have
launched an offensive.
The Italians are steadily inn
proving their position, stated the
cables.
That Hindenburg is the guiding
genius of the Austro-German drive
into Italy was learned from Ger
man prisoners. Having failed to
sweep over the Venetian plains,
he is establishing another linden
burg line along the Tagliamento.
His plans for breaking ltaly's
resistance completely, as learned
from prisoners, were frustrated by
the Italians stand before Meletta
and Gallo. His orders were for
Gen. Conrad's army to roll across
the Settle Comuni plateau like an
avalanche while the armies of Kro-
batin and Won Buelow, pouring
over the Brenta valley, surmount-
ed the mountainous barriers and
descended into the fertile Venetian
plains.

Local Option.

The failure of Local Option at the
recently dissolved New Jersey legis-
lative session was a foregone con-
clusion after the first compromise
bill of Senator Mackay fell by the
wayside. There was great disap-
pointment all over the state, because
the party now in power went into
office pledged absolutely to support
local option. There is little doubt
but that influences were at work to
effect the defeat of the measures that
were sent to the House and Senate
to meet the party pledges. There
was wide state demand for the peo-
pie to be heard on the question of
of regulating licenses. 1t helped
the party great deal when it de-
clared itself in local option in the
campaign, and it is likely to act as a
boomerang.
Greater than all other issues was
local option. The State has not had
to combat anything so momentous as
this question in many years. That
there was great cry for at least a
test of local option it is needless to
repeat here. Those interested in the
bills defeat certainly put up noble
fight for their side of the case, know
ing how strongly entrenched were
the friends of the bill

A WrongIing C0mmunitu.

A gentleman who evidently is we'll
versed in the little PHILOSOPHERS of life
made the remark in the presence of
the editor the other day that there
was always hope for any community
that wrangled. He said it was sign
that the community was beginning to
grow when fussing went on and peo-
pie did not agree.
This is evidently new thought,
and we wonder if there can be any
truth in it? Somehow, we have
leaned to the idea that a town that
was. addicted to the habit of wrangling
was divided against itself, and con-
sequently it would lack those ele-
ments of progress so essential to
proper advancement.
But upon second thought there may
be something in the idea that
wrangling makes a town go ahead.
Where there is divergence of view,
there is sure to be argument. Now
argument of itself does not spell
anything except what its name i'm
plies. But there may be many kinds
of argument. The kind that makes
men think along right lines would
be desirable. The kind that makes
men fight each other like cats and
dogs would not, or at least should
not be conducive to the general
welfare.
Maybe our philosopher had in mind
something people generally do not
know about. Perhaps he meant that
when different views were thresheo
out, the chaff could be weeded out
and the real meat of a situation
found. Maybe it meant that where
there are two views there might be
one idea. That has happened.
But just what kind of progress
there can be in just plain wrangling,

pressing situations in life than to be
able to have hobby and ride it at
will.e The monotony Of life ceases
when we may take up something
after the turmoil of the day that will
make US forget the trials that have
beset US. While it is never right to
yield to the feeling of ennui, at the
same time, we cannot always be
looking into blue sky, for the reason
that clouds come into the horizon
Of the most diligent. Occupation
drives away the blues, and makes one
measurably happy; but even that
sometimes pals, for the reason that
often what we do becomes mo-
notOnOuS.
How often do we find some of the
most successful men and women
wondering why they are brain-weary,
why they are tagged out at night,
why they do notarespond to the many
little things that come up to lend
cheer to the household. They never
stop to consider that they are victims
of their own labors that have become
heavy while furnishing the means of
a livelihood.
So when we have formed the habit
Of having a fad, we have taken off
much of life's load and the burden
seems lighter. Find paint brush, if
you have a leaning towards art; catch
up a pen and write, if you desire to
learn the art of expression; pick up
hammer and saw ard build bird
house if you find your business is
getting too arduous. Nothing ever
seems hard when we have light
heart. The fad lightens all burdens,
for the reason that it is the newer
occupation, the fresher task, to which
we apply ourselves for relief. When
we have plodded all day, we need the
relaxation of a change, and the fad is
sure to break the combination that
the imps of ennui generally build
around the most successful Of our eff
forts. The fad is species of rest
cure, and we learn the lesson of it's
meaning only when we have forced
it into our lives.

Occupation.

The greatest enemy of human life
is idleness. The joy-giver is occupa-
ton.
1t does not matter how we keep
busy so long as we work. The great
est percentage of the worlds crime
is produced by people who will not
work.
God never created man for indo-
lence. If the origin of man may
really be traced to the Garden of
Eden, it doubtless was one of His
purposes to create feeling of I'M
rest in the minds of Adam and Eve,
so sent the tempter to get them out
of the monotony of idleness. 1t has
never been settled conviction that
the Creator intended the lives of the
first-made to be spent in Incidence.
His far-seeing eye pictured world
of progress when the twain of Eden
left it's gates for home outside.
In the economies of nature we see
that all creation must be alive ana
alert in order to sustain life. The
higher the development of animal
creation went, the finer the motive
of being became. Then the realiza-
ton of what was necessary to in
duce happiness was made manifest
by occupation. At last came the
thought most useful to man. He must
be useful himself by work; he must
add to the good cheer of mankind by
working for others.
Service therefore may be set down
as the only possible basis for human
happiness. Self-abnegation, self-ef-
facement, are the forms that lead up
the shining roadway of human joy in
achievement. So long as we serve
we live. The day we offer ourselves
as a servant of mankind we shall
have hope of happiness.

Var SpecuIatiOns.

The mysteries of the European
war continue with persistent fury.
After two and half years of almost
absolute rigidness, suddenly, and
without warning, the great deadlock
ed battle line wavers in northeast
France, the German forces seem to
crumple like withered leaf, the
lines vanish in quick, almost amaz-
ing retreat, and once more the world

there is really no telling In fact,
we doubt that this virtue ever more
than assumes progress without ever
getting anywhere. There is whole
lot of satisfaction for some people
when they assume thing. 1t brings
a certain modicum of self-complac-
ency, feeling that at least one has
taken a position. The philosophy of
life would be that the best pro-
gress should be along lines of least
resistance. On the other hand, that
sort would bear towards the namby
PANTY kind, SO there you are. 1t is
just as well to consider all sides to
every question.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1917-03-31
stands aghast.

stands aghast.
What it all means no one can tell
at the moment, for the wavering of
that multitudinous army of Teutons
did not seem possible, SO long had it
held out against the onsloughts of
the English and French. Blow for
blow, punch for punch, the two lines
had held on like an extended volcanic
fissure in the earth, belching death
and injury to thousands of human
beings, neither side yielding more
than inches. Thirty months of this
stationary battle! The long months
had dragged their slow lengths along;
new armies came in to take the place
of those that were periodically
decimated, and the end was not yet.
1t does not seem probable that
Germany should yield so vast a ter
ritorial advantage without demand
handing her pound of flesh in ex-
change. Perhaps she will shorten the
lines for the purpose of concentrat-
ing. This is one theory. Maybe she
wants to form a great flying wedge
and plunge the line. But that has
been tried already in the war ad in
finitum. 1t has not worked. If Ger
many wants to make her wedge for
driving wider swath through
France, she is reckoning almost
recklessly, for France and England
have developed fully as much war
strategy, if not more than the Cen
trail Powers.
Another theory is that German
ammunition has grown less and less.
Certainly whole mountain piles have
been shot through the air by both
sides. If Germany now foresees her
supplies weakening, perhaps this
may serve for an answer to her with
drawal into shorter lines. If she goes
now to dig herself into cement pits,
she can be blown out Of them only
by long, hazardous pounding with
huge mortars and twenty inch shells
that may be coming. In any event,
we can only surmise what all this
latest movement means. Many
battle has been won on a retreat
plan. It does not follow, though,
that were Germany to back into
Germany where she is reported to be
a huge fortress that her foes could
not still follow and beat her down.
This does not seem warranted at the
present moment, but England has
said she would sweep on to Berlin
after awhile Will that time ever
come? y Germany has given a grand
account of herself up to date. She
has taken most of the initiative in
the war, but she has not won. She
has found as much power, as much
prowess as her own to face, and she
has been held at arms length only
through a strength that matched
hers.
With America now thrown into the
breach, what may we expect? With
our almost limitless resources; with
our giant strength in money and sup
plies; with our increasing efficiency
as thinking, inventive, and God
fearing people, we should soon come
to a conclusion of these unprece-
dented hostilities. The world is
heartsore and weary of the conflict,
and if the honor of our stand should
lead us into the final triumph, the
world will have admired and loved
America to good purpose.

SOIUin0 World Problems.

The man who undertakes to solve
the problems of civilization that con-
front the world to-day not only has
his hands full, but faces the greatest
of all problems.
In theory, of course, the whole
world has gone wrong. In fact it
has not. The great basic cause of
all the unrest in the world is due to
the leadership of a handful of men
who themselves have gone wrong.
Christianity and civilization have
been attacked and declared failure
because the European war has taken
on such huge proportions that even
some of the most thoughtful men liv-
ing to-day see the doom of progress,
the end of all civilization because this
small group Of world-leaders have
undertaken to prove how much bet
ter the world may be with one domi-
nant power in control of all human
affairs.
The fact that this group Of men
nave SO far failed to see the fulfill
ment of their plans is evidence that
neither civilization nor Christianity
are at fault because they have been
led into the wrong channel through
false attitudes, false claims, false
endeavors. The world was not
created to be ruled by any one leader
or any set of rulesr. 1t was intended
as great democracy in which all
men should have equal opportunity,
equal rights before the law, and
where the survival of the fittest shall
say who is most advanced, most en-
titled to the foremost rank in civiliza-
TONS development.
There is no real problem in all
these differences of view. There is
no real mystery in the principles of
civilization to-day and yesterday.
Human ideals are as high to-day as
ever; human endeavor just as earnest
now as last year, or any other time.
Because some things have gotten out
of stride; because progress has
missed step with truth in places,
truth is not lessened in value, and
right has not failed of purpose.
These two elementals of life are the
same. It is in the wrong practice Of
leadership that the world SHES from
the middle of the road. When the
right man looms up; when the real
leader of mankind shows at the front
of the ranks of civilization, there will
be a beginning all over again. The
adjustments will take place when
the right measurement is once more
taken of direction. The world has
simply gone off on the wrong road.
When it finds itself, when it opens
it's eyes and rubs them in the light
of new Inspirations; when it looks
down the road ahead, it will see the
old light of truth still on the hill
ahead, and it will again look that
way. There will never come time
when hope will have it's radiance
dimmed with despair. True, the last
two and half years have been a
dark cloud that has hung low. Blu,
after all, the world is always brighter
after every storm, and civilization
will add new luster to it's record in
the building up of the structure of
progress when at last arms have
been laid aside for the eternal hap
piness of peace.
