CITY UNABLE
TO PUT LID
ON DANCES

Tacomas three dance halls can
not be closed by the city council
under the present ordinances.
This was the substance of City
Attorney Harmon's informal rul-
ing made to Mayor Fawcett Mon
day. Harmon will make a detail
ed report at the Wednesday ses-
sion.
Because the present ordinance
does not give the council sufficient
authority to close the dance halls,
Mayor Fawcett instructed Harmon
to draw up a new ordinance with
teeth in it,"
The new one will demand that
all girls employed in dance halls
be given regular medical inspec-
ton by the city health department,
and will provide other strict rules
which are expected to remove all
Objectionable features.
missioner Petit asked the
city council last week to adopt a
resolution demanding that all
dance halls be closed as public
nuisances. The matter was held
up for week until an investiga-
ton could be made.
Military authorities and the
county prosecutors office have
both threatened to close the dance
halls IL the city council did not.

Mrs. Alice Pratt Gaugh Of Ia
coma cannot have the satisfaction
of sending her husband, Thomas
L. Gaugh, to prison for bigamy.
Police Capt. Falconer, who was
sent to California two weeks ago
for Gaugh, returned without his
prisoner Sunday. The governor
of California refused to grant ex-
tradition papers and Gaugh was
set free-
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaugh we're mar
ried in Tacoma June II, 1914.
Later Mrs. Gaugh learned that her
husband was already married to
Mrs. Flora A. Gaugh. A few
weeks ago she swore out a blgamy
charge in Tacoma, and Gaugh was
arrested in San Francisco.
The California governor ruled
that Mrs. Gaugh had waited two
years after learning of the bigamy
before swearing OUT a charge, and
refused on this ground to sign an
extradttion paper for Gaugh's re-
mowA to Washington.

The incident has brought tense

Russian army officer, in charge
Of bolsheviki troops and attached
to the American mission in Ruma-

the bolsheviki with attempting to
get Red Cross supplies thru to
Gen. Kaledines' revolving forces.
In a s. ech before a revolution,
airy gathering, Trotsky formally
charged that the American gov
eminent was seeking to aid Kale-
dimes and threatened the U. s.
with the heavy hand of the revo-

American Red Cross officials
here denied the charges that aid
was being extended Kaledines that
he might overthrow the bolshevi-

ENGINE BUILT LIKE A WATCH
Fast, Modern AIrplane May Readily
Cost From $1,000 to $4,000 and
Wears Out Quickly.

The engine of your motor car
weighs from 500 10 200 pounds or
more. II will average from 20 to 30
horsepower at the lowest, says @
writer in Golfers. The new airplane
engines run less than three pounds per
horsepower and the finest of them two
pounds or less. Airplanes have been
built with air-cooled engines for short
distance, fast scouting whose en-
glnes weigh less than q pound and
three-quarters per horsepower. They
must be quite /. orally. as an on ad-
vertisement used 10 say, built like a
watch"
At present high-powered airplane
engine Of the best type-sav 120 to
$50 horsepower-canuot be purchased
for much less than $4,000. And the
whole alrplane, a big one. may readily
cost $4,000 20 $4,000. You can read
lily see why the construction of only
1900 airplanes, as Ia England's pro-
gram, would easily equal, for a total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wastage,
more than half q billion dollars.
A fast modern alrplane has an aver
age life Of only about two or three
hundred hours OF active seryice-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
a battle line You have TO be able TO
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkable.
That is why warfare In the air for any
length OF time would bankrupt the
world. And that, in turn, IS why war
fare IN the air means the end Of all
warfare.
