DR.. Merriam's statement, lis II
not fair to ask-with apologies to
the good citizens OF Tacoma
why their city should insist on APP
Ipropriating as local asset the
central figure and eliminating
glory of Mount Rainier National
park? ?"
Those doctors" down there at
Washington!-it seems not In
their nature to understand how a
people whose lives are spent in its
presence might view this culmin-
ating glory In other terms than
as a real estate advertisement.
Nor to understand how such a
people might resent being jobbed
and trlcked-the mountain being
robbed of a name which these peo-
pie think beautiful and meaning
full. to satisfy not the high senti-
ment of another people for an
other name, but the low and
mean feeling OF jealousy and en-
nifty.
A Million Years.
Indeed, yees, DR.. Merriam, apol-
ogies should accompany such a
question. Here we have from all
this 10 pages of irrelevancy the
solitary outcropping OF what the
cool-headed member, Frederick
w. Hodge, of the Smithsonian In
stitution. said at once and frankly
was the real milk in the cocoanut
the commercial feature-that
we should have use of the noun
tain wherewith to sell our lots,
and thus Seattle (some Seattle in
terests) be deprived its use In the
selling of their beer. Yes, indeed,
are due.
attended to that question quite
fully when | was treating of Mr..
Hodge the other day. IL to call
the mountain by the name which
the Indians say God gave 1t is to
IL as local asset,
then 1t was so appropriated a mil
lion or so years before Mount
Rainier National park or the city
of Tacoma were dreamed of?
Why Tacoma Alone?
And is IL not fair to ask why
you, DR.. Merriam, should address
your question to the citizens of
Tacoma alone? If you think to
call the mountain Tacoma" is for
the city of the same name to ap-
pripriate it as a local asset, why
not ask the question of the New
York Times. the New Nork Even
ing Post, the New York Journal,
the Literary Digest, Harper's, the
New York Nation, the Christian
Science Monitor, the Boston Her
aid, the Boston Transcript, the
Minneapolis Tribune, the Cleve-

Journal, not one of which is pub
lished in Tacoma, but every one of
which strongly urges the adoption
of that name-and they are only
a few that come to my mind just
now of many that have urged 1t.

Clean Up

At the beginning of the new year is a good time to take a glance over your back yards and devise some plan to ostracise the tin cans and rubbish which have accumulated since the last in- stallment was removed. You can generally judge of the occu- pants of a house by the condition in which the front and back yards are kept. In a general sense we pride ourselves on be- ing clean and tidy. Contributed.

NUMBER 24
That Playground Apparatus

The holidays interrupted the campaign for playground appara- tus but we are by no means dis couraged, for not a single oppos- ing voice has been raised against this crying need. Silent we can not be; persistent we intend to be; successful we must be to some extent.
 The success of a pupil in school is measured by his interest, and his interest depends largely on his environment. Not the least constituents of that environment are the facilities for amusement and recreation. Boys and girls left to discover or create these for themselves often discover or create that which is detrimental rather than beneficial. Take as an instance the habit of cigar cites. It may be safely stated that one reason that so many of our young boys early take up this habit is that they are not in- terested in their physical devel- opment. If we can interest them in this we shall have furnished a positive remedy for all such harmful habits. All parents know that a positive remedy is more effective than a negative that if they can interest their boy or girl in a constructive un- dertaking it is not necessary to forbid the practice of habits in furious to that undertaking, for in many cases the child will abandon the habits voluntarily, or, better still, will never take them up.
 We want you to deliberate over the possibilities of this movement. Placing the playground apparatus on our schoolground is not whim or passing fancy. It is an in- vestment. It saves doctor bills, wards off the deadly tuberculosis, develops bodies capable of great CT and better work, encourages habits of personal hygiene, and creates minds fresh and re- captive.
 We have in our town and com- munity parents, friends and business men wealthy enough, intelligent enough and friendly enough to have already had these facilities. But since we have all been negligent of this need long enough, we should now move to hasten the erection of suitable and substantial apparatus. Ev- eryone interested in the school can help some. And for every thing done or said by you in the interest of this move your child ren and your neighbors' children shall rise and call you blessed.

London, Nov. 17.-"The doctor has

"that if the wounded who survive six

Dye Supplies on Decrease

London, Nov. 15.-The manufactur-
ing of dyes in Great Britain and sup
plying the British trade which here
tofore had been dependent almost en-
tirely on Germany has proved very
successful according to the report of
company subsidized by the govern
ment for that purpose.
The production of dyes continue TO
be limited by the shortage of certain
materials but the supply has been in
creased during the year and the va
riety of dyes extended. Cooperation
among dye manufacturers is urged
to increase the output of dyes and
and the need of further capital is en-
phasized by the fact that the recent
ly published accounts of five of the
German dye manufacturing firms
show assets amounting to $4,000, 900,
including cash resources of ten mil
lions.

MOTHER AND CHILD
HURT BY BAD FALL

Mrs. Aubrey Gilmore, of Santuc,
while descending the stairs leading
from the rest room here to the street
today stumbled and fell with her sew
en- months old child in her arms. At
first it was thought that the child
would be seriously injured, probably
killed by the fall, while the mother
was thought to be but lightly injured.
After being driven home in an auto
mobile it developed that the mother
was more injured than was the child,
the severe shock causing her to be
really ill. 1t is now thought that be-
yond being badly bruised and shocked,
both will be all right.

One of the most delightfully."- infor-

in this city in many days, was the
breakfast of this morning to the SOL

our guests for Thanksgiving. The

train and were Immediately taken to
the Seminary where hot coffee and
sandwiches were served them, by in
teresting maids and matrons. After
breakfast they had merry time dane

around; they have captured Union and
one handsome young fellow asked us to
say that a certain pair of eyes had
captured him and he was going to ask
Uncle Sam to move his camp to this
town.
