ONE WOMAN SACRIFICES
TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Foregoes the Desire to Own an Auto
mobile and Devotes Her Saw
ings to Patriotism.

This story concerns a Washington
woman who has made no small sacrifice
to help finance the war, for she has given
up or. at least postponed indefinitely. a
long-cherished dream just it seemed at
the point of realization
The dream was of . shiny automobile,
not small enough to De the butt of humor.
nor large enough to call for too large an
outlay for tires. oil and gasoline. The
husbands income was not sufficient to
cover such a luxury but when the gov
eminent began to call for extra clerks to
help care for the war business she took
the civil service examination. received an
appointment and opened a savings account
with her first check--to pay for her cher
ished machine
This is not the place to tell of the battle
of desire against patriotism. Suffice it to
say that desire died hard death. and
yesterday the woman wrapped it up in
TWO liberty loan bonds and buried il.

Secretary RedfieId Tells
How Germany Cut the Threads
of Her Own Foreign Commerce

What q different world Of trade this
VIII be after the war was pictured to
the congress last night by Secretary
Redf1eld In an address telling of the
cutting of the threads of Germany's
foreign commerce by her own act. and
tof the awakening Of America and her
allies to the danger of having their in
dustries dependent upon foreign and
possibly unfrendly sources OF supply.
When peace shall come and her mer-
chants take UP the task of restoring
Germany's ruined commerce they Will
find that 1t Is strange world which
they seek to re-enter,i said the Secre
tary. There will be difficulties in the
path of the future peaceful penetration
of which they seem not to dream. Com
mercial frtghtfulness, like It's military
name sake, will have passed away.
1T will hardly be said again to any
secretary of commerce of the United
States that the German dyestuT Nerein
viii not permit the establishment of
an American dyestuff industry. The
monopolies on which German foreign
commerce In large part seemed to rest
secure have passed away. Our friends
beyond the sea and we ourselves have
learned the danger of having our in
dustries wholly dependent on foreign
sources o. supply which may become
unfriendly.

"but money spent for such a
boulevard would not be taxes, but
an investment"
b. s. Grosscup suggested that
the Metropolitan park board is in
position to bond itself to build
tho central parking street, and
the upkeep could be managed by
the park board as in Chicago.
Another route was suggested by
J. II. yesterday, running from
about South seth street and Taco
ma avenue to the road back OF
Wapato lake, beyond which he
said there was an ideal grade
where an old road used to run to
Olympia. The ground being of
cement formation, he said, 1t
would not have to be paved for
year or two.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-08-10

A committee composed OF one
city commissioner. one county
commissioner, a city engineer, a
county engineer, a member of the
Commercial club, a member of the
Rotary club, Henry Rhodes, and
three taxpayers to be selected by
him, will draw up plans for zoo
foot boulevard connecting Taco
ma with the army post by route
running from Center street along
the ridge to Glover park, branch
ing and running on both side of
Gravelly lake, and then uniting
with the government military
road.
This was decided Thursday aft
ernoon at a meeting of business
men and the city and county conf
missioners and engineers.
The proposal of an additional
road between Tacoma and the
army post was made originally by
The Times.
The boulevard, as planned,
would probably consist of two
parts, one for vehicles going and
the other for those coming, sep
arated by q parking strip.
Much of the right of way would
have to be acquired by condemna-

ENGLAND TAKES
EXCESS PROFIT

80 per cent" said the United
Press informant, ION the ground
that it would discourage enter
prise and thus defeat its own pur-
pose. The objection came from
theorists, rather than the business
men themselves, however. Busi-
ness certainly shows no sign or
Encouragement
Earlier in the war the govern
ment took only so per cent of ex-
cess profits. The increase to the
point where only 20 per cent Is
left to the business concern has
been gradual.
Cant Keep That.
"This doesn't mean," it was ex-
planned, that these concerns are
allowed profits of 20 per cent.
ut means only that if their war
time profits are above their peace
time profits, they may retain only
20 per cent of the increase. The
taxation of their normal profits
continues just the same, tho this
taxation, too, is at much higher
rate than 1t was before the war.
