to your family. II you are called
to war. will you leave behind a
mother, or wife ana children In
a home of their own?
Second -The home is an asset.
The enjoyment OF its possession is
everlasting. One can realize his

and a great many times with u
profit. Compare this with the
ownership of an automobile, for
instance, which after two or three
months use. depreeiates about
one-third In value.
Third-No matter how poor a
man may be, the first payment en-
titles him to the pleasures of n

SECOND PRIZE

Society has always recognized
the fundamental truth. that in the
Home of the people lies the Ma
tons strength. The more widely
spread and earlier the home is
acquired, the greater and more
beneficial the effects on the com
munity. Therefore, i'm beginning
of married life, II is not only the
duty of the Newlyweds to build
themselves a new nest, but IL is
also the business of society as a
whole to see that this Is done, and
to make its arrangement as easy
as possible. Men, and especially
women, do not develop and fully
ripen into maturity of character
outside and away from the home
influences
For Tacoma is to be the home
of Pacific Metropolis of Great
Northwest. Taken as an econom-
ical situation, the way past has
been some people will say its
cheaper to rent than to own their
homes, but II Is not fact. Could
average man or woman live 80
days and take care of his or her
family, If he or she did not own
his or her own home and was out
of employment? No. The home
is a tie which binds and holds to-
gether and protects ourselves and
families when we are sick, dead
or out of employment.
A home is a tie which binds
and holds together all that Is dear
to every man, woman, child and
nation.

HOW AMERICA SOLVED
THE DYE PROBLEM

When the war began, America was
cut off from her dye supply. 1t was
not until DR.. Norton began his inves-
tigation that the problem was solved.
In the February issue of The Ameri-
can Magazine a writer says:
Great Britain set out to get the
facts Her colorists put scientists to
work, asking for data on the British
dye consumption. They plunged in,
noundered around a bit, and sank. They
got some information, much of which
proved unintelligible to practical dye
makers. Finally, realizing that nothing
was being accomplished the British
Government called in the experts and
abandoned the 'dye-stu census
ABB vt the same time the United
State Government saw the need for
similA information.
THE Federal rolls at first suggested
no suitable chemist The officials
searched in vain for weeks. Then, they
found the man. They found him not in
the numerous scientific bureaus of the
Government but attached 10 the State
Department an American consul at
Chemnitz, SaXony.
"They found Dr. Thomas H. Nor
ton, with degrees from Hamilton and
Heidelberg, and experience with great
chemical industries in America and
abroad. They transferred him TO the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce. with the title of Special agent,
and gave him a desk, a stenographer,
an appropriation, and mighty few in
structions
With Doctor Nortons nursing, the
American dyestuff industry, two years
ago an infant in arms, now is a rap

manufacturers in this country two
