WAR AND WINTER

You remember in the spring time how you watched
the season wake,
And all the happy, little buds
Were shaking out their dainty buds,
A-preening and a-greenng and a-laughing for Your
sake9
And oh! the spring fresh and fair
All other seasons past compare.
You remember how the summer trckled thru the glass
of Time,
When every day burst sweet with dew
And every hour the garden grew,
And life surged in your temples and the year at
/. it's prime?
And oh! you cried, ''Let summer stay
And never, never pass away"
You remember, in the autumn, how the golden days
strung
Upon the rosary of life
Each one more redolent and rife
With harvest and with happiness thalwhen the year
youngg
And OH it seemed the best of ALL
The happy funess of the fall.
Yet there's something in the winter which is tonic to
the blood
Which rises in you blithe and warm,
Which leaps and laughs to meet the storm,
10 beat it and defeat it! you feel life at its flood
For oh! the year has given its best
To fit you for the wintry test.
When the war is in it's winter and its weather nips
and stings,
When the glass is at it's Zero
Thens the time to test the hero!
And there u be no whine whimper as we face the
worst it brings.
War and winter shall not stay;
And The Spring is on it's way.

CALL ON
MAYORTO
EXPLAIN

Business agents of all Tacoma
labor unions will visit the city
hall at 2 o'clock Friday after
noon and demand that Mayor
Fawcett explain statements &C.
credited to him that labor leaders
in Tacoma had been "bought" by
Manager Bean of the T. R. & p.
Co. to support the proposition Of
a municipal purchase of the srteet
railway system.
Great indignation over the al
legged statement of the mayor was
expressed Wednesday night at q
meeting of the Central Labor
council, and the body passed
resolution demanding that Faw-
cett retract the charge.
According to FOR leaders, the
mayor has told persons who have
visited him that he had no doubt
that Bean had bought the labor
union leaders, to get their support
of the street car purchase plan.
Organized labor went on record
some time ago denouneing street
car service here and demanding
that the city either force the T.
r. G p. to improve service or take
over the operation Of the lines.
But the question of municipal
purchase of the T. r. & p. system
has never been officially taken up
by the labor body, 1t is main
tanned.
The Central Labor council au-
thorized the business agents to
visit Fawcett Friday afternoon
and ask him upon what authority
or Information he made the al
legged statements.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair
in good condition. be careful what
you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and is very harmful.
Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair~with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily and removes every particle
Of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
sive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and It leaves It fine
and silky. bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and q few ounces il
enough to last everyone in the
family for month";

On SalutinI the FlaG

An 18-year-old boy of Tacoma, son of a father
who is out of joint with the times has quit school
rather than salute the American flag
And the newspapers Of the Northwest are making
! great-to-do about it.
We must not expect too much of our 18-year-od
boys Nor of fathers who are out of joint with the
times.
But we have right to expect great deal of
er1dite editors.
Tt is boyishly silly of the boy to refuse to salute
the American flag 1t is undoubtedly wrong of the
father to encourage and uphold the boy in his re-
fusa-but it is the sort of thing we must expect of
men who are out of joint with the times.
But it is silly for newspapers to waste much good
white paper over the incident. There worse
traitors in our midst than boys who refuse to salute
the flag -profiteers and Hog Islanders, for in
stance.
Instead of harping unduly about such disloyalty,
much better way would be to make them under
Btand--we could make the boy understand, and we
might be able to make the father understand, atho
that would be difficut-that the American flag is
the best flag on earth.
Then he would WANT to salute it,

BY Cynthia Grey

It looks as If the Tacoma
women were making an import
ant contribution to the literature
of marriage in their answers tt
the query, "How do wives want
to be treated?"
In the deluge of letters sweep
into this office with the morning
mail comes the following, which
is submitted without comment:
Dear Miss Grey:
II am an old maid, SO home
ly no man ever wanted to
marry me. Nevertheless, in
the course of many observant
years, l have come to my own
conclusions about how married
women want to be treated.
Like kittens! Observe I did
not say cats Like expensive
white angora kittens with blue
eyes. Kittens with silk cush-
ions in parlors and plenty of
rich cream in silver bowls.
And nothing to do but purr.
1--WE known some nice ener-
getic working girls turned into
purring pussy kittens by mar
rage I've seen this so often
that 1 believe that to be the
average girls ideal of married
life. A husband must provide
them with luxuries and not
make any demand upon them.
"An Envious Bachelor Girl.
Gentle Reader, il you are in
terested in this controversy, hell
it along by sending in your owl
opinion about how wives ought Il
be treated. Remember. the mer
are as much interested in these
letters as are the women wht
write them.
Wives, send in your ideas, and
maybe you'll hear your husbands
comments ON the same at the sup.
per table.

At the book shop Max came, and

what are you going to do with
that nice boy?'

stretching out beyond without
Max in them, and yet I had never
had any OF the wild, emotional
thrills that the mere sight OF
Jack would bring to me when

viduality. Besides, you must re-
member that Max has always
been absolutely true to you. He
has never looked at another
woman. What would you have
done IL he, too, had found nc
thrills in the toy, and reached his
hand out for another as Jack did?'
THAT is just it, Margie. made

thrils-that was my part of max

full husbands and yet they are no

How can that be?" I asked, in
credulOusly.
>"Well," she answered, "a man
in Italy gives to his wife and fam
lily certain things. A man will not
do anything that will injure his
family. =
"Margie, this may be a terrible
thing to say, but I think there are
harder things to bear in ones hus-
band than infidelity. l could not
stand an ugly, cross husband OF
neglect-habitual neglect"
But does not the man who ID
in love with some other woman
neglect his wife in Italy?" asked
Perhaps" Mary answered
serenely, "but you must realize
that where one man is untrue tc
his wife because he is in love with
another woman, there are a dozen
men who are untrue because the
time, the place and the girl are in
juxtaposition, and they never
think of the lapse again"
"Oh, Mary! Nary" I exclaimed
Think how far away you and
have travelled from our girlist
ideas on the subject"
Eyes, dear, and I, for one, an
