Opportunity For
Commissions

There Is now a good opportun-
ity for Tacoma men to get a
commission or minor offices in
the U. S. army, il they can pass
a set Of examinations which are
to be given April 1.
A board to examine enlisted
men of the naval reserve force for
appointment as warrant officers
and ensigns, has been appointed
by the commandant of the 18th
naval district and will meet the
first week in April.
This is in line with the policy
recently adopted by the navy de-
partment to select all future Off
GERS from the ranks of the enlist
ed men. The beneficial effects Of
this step have been clearly seen in
the past and the number of men
applying for the examination Is
steadily increasing.
A large number of petty Off
GERS will be advanced to warrant
ranks, the warrants will be given
commissions and many will jump
direct from the rating of petty Of
ficer to commissions.

those on this side want letters.
That is their plea, their cry and
their prayer in all their letters
and thoughts. We have several
times attempted thru this column
to convey some idea of this want
to you, but nothing that we would
ever be able to say could as well
tell the true feeling as the follow
ing editorial, clipped from the
Stars and Stripes, the paper pub
lished by the Yankees of the A. T..
F. in France. This tells the tale:
1--WE of the A. e. F. don't want
to read history. We're too busy
trying in our humble way to make
it. But what we would like to
read regularly and often, is home
gossip, conveyed to us in letters
from the states.
THE folks back home assure us
that they are writing to us regular
ly and often, but we aren't hearing
from them regularly and often.
We want to know il the baby has
had the collie Of late, IL the Schan-
dinavian servant girl has violated
neutrality by leaving in the middle
of washday. IL Jones next door
has returned the lawn mower he
borrowed a year and half ago.
The papers won't tell us those
highly important things, but our
letters will. Therefore, it's our
letters we want.

get no family mail We quote
from pertinent poem in the first
issue of The Stars and Stripes.
It's true. You may feed and
clothes and arm and equip an army
till it may be said to be soldier
ing de luxe, but you don't make
men happy and contented-and,
therefore, good mixers and fight
tiers, unless you fix it so their mail
catches up whit hem. Mail is as
necessary to the morale of armies
as socks and shoes and other mum
dane things-and should, we
opine, be forwarded inland Just
as fast as, If not faster than, those
other necessary articles areward-
ed.
The gang is we'll fed. 1t is
well clothed. 1t is getting accli-
mated and esttled down to the
long grind. Its only kick is that
1t doesn't get its mail from home
as regularly and often as it would
like to get it-as regularly and
often as it is entitled to get it.
We're not blaming anybody.
We wouldn't know whom TO
blame If we started to try it. But
somewhere between the base ports
and the training area and front
there is mail-mail for US and
we'd give two months pay to be
reading it-now."

High Life in France

William Reed, graduate of Sta
dunn high school, and former en-
ploye of The Times, is having the
time of his young life over in
France, we suspect, as we have a
slight acquaintance with the
young man. Bill just wrote a let
ter to his mother which she re-
ceived Tuesday telling her of how
fine all the Tacoma boys are feel
ing and how good the weather is
in France.
He also writes that he is doing
M. p. duty, together with SO 9TH
'er former Troop b men Just a few
miles from a very large city. He
has made several friends among
the French and with their help is
learning to speak the language
with some semblance of ease.

WHEAT SUBSTITUTES MUST BE
LOWER, SAYS HOOVER.

Substitutes for wheat flour will be
cheaper in Washington later on, but
their will not be much difference un-
til after thirty days according to
Charles Hebberd, federal food adj
ministrator for Washington. A tele-
gram received from Herbert Hoover
stated that administrators should
take immediate action to cut down
the margin of profit on substitutes.
as the substitutes are now cheaper
in price. Mr. Hoover is dealing with
conditions in the middle west and
east, Mr.. Hebberd says, and condi-
tions in Washington are not diff
ferent.
The telegram from Mr.. Hoover
says: "At the present price of corn,
barley and oats millers are or should
be offering meals and flours from
these grains at prices considerably
below wheat flour. In fact, corn
meal should be selling from the mill
door at not less that twenty-five per-
cent below wheat flour, and oatmeal
at an even less ratio. White corn
flour or barley flour should be SELL
ing at not less. than ten to fifteen
per cent below wheat flour. There
is therefore, absolutely no justifica-
ton for present price levels in these
substitutes.
Retailers should not take more
than sixteen to twenty per cent Of
the sale price for handling these pro-
ducts. The wholesale maximum
margins has been fixed as per our
bulletin of April 6 at not over ten
per cent in bulk. Therefore, with
these criteria to guild you I would be
glad to have you follow up any prices
made at higher levels than these
prices every step in the chain of re-
taller, wholesaler and miller should
be prepared to justify their prices as
reasonable, and failure to so justify
should be recommended to US for
summary action.
1.-THE time has now come when the
readjustment of the prices of these
grains should have taken place. We
are requiring the principal corn milf
ers to report to this Office by tele
graph weekly the prices at which
they purchase corn, and the prices at
which they are quoting products, and
we are directing them to make dup
licate reports to you. But without
waiting for these reports you can
take the above approximate levels
as being indicative and instruct you"
county and city agents to make Il
drive on the reduction of prices to
proper levels, as the maintenance
by millers and dealers of the price
levels which were due to shortage
in railway transportation last winter
has now become in many cases simple
extortion. Where dealers have paid
more than present prices they run
risks of spoilage in endevoring to
hold material for prices at old levels,
and the first loss of reducing prices
is the smallest loss"

Ever hear of town so quiet and

left for Paris Island, S. c., the Marine
training camp.
The force consisted of four able
