PREDICT A
PIE FAMINE

Master bakers of Tacoma will
meet Monday night at the home Of
Wallace Mcpherson, SIG So. Grant
to discuss ways of meeting the
new food rulings which take bak-
ings from pure wheat flour from
the market, and which limit the
consumption of wheat for each
bakery during the next six months
to 10 per cent of that during the
same period in 1917.
The bakers have asked State
Food Administrator Hebberd for
la modification of the ruling in
their case, because of the increase
In population and the consequent
increase In demand.
They declare that unless the
ruling is modified Tacoma homes
and Camp Lewis soldiers may be
without pies and pastries after
May Is.
No bakery, after Feb. "a, can
lput out breadstuffs with less than
20 per cent wheat substitutes.

been transferred to safety, exhib-
tied the ugly, jagged fragment Of
bomb which struck door two
feet from his bed.
Repetition Feared.
He told how he lay helpless In

bullets from the airplane's ma
chine guns fired toward the hos

earthward like the roar of shells

nights sensations before--hearing

Oh, what wonderful flag you
Blue is your star in It's field Of

To speak from a window-to
speak and say:

Gone to be gone till the victory's'

Who stands by my window and

But hides from the others her UNI

For the safe return of a martial

A mate gone forth where the wal

To save from sacrifice other mems

To the singing of "The Star

maendenes Singing society, a 28-
star service flag was unveiled and
dedicated Sunday afternoon al
Our Savior's Evangelical Lutheran

w. w. Parker, principal of the
Lincoln High school, gave the ad-
dress of dedication. Tracing the
principles of democracy from the
time of Christ, he said:
1.-THE best thoughts of the great

pie. This is democracy. Wash

Lincoln for human freedom, and

WITH THE AMERICAN AR
MES IN FRANCE, Feb. IT,
(Delayed)-The wounded and
sick occupants of field hospital
a few kilometers behind the Amer
lean trenches had been transferred
to the rear today as the result Of
a Boche air raid.
A German airplane, flying low
in the brilliant light of quarter
moon Friday night, released 10
bombs directly over the hospital.
Surgeons standing in the yard
saw trails of sparks from the
burning bomb fuses streaking to-
ward the earth like red rockets.
The airplane's volley missed
the flimsy hospital building. They
struck in a nearby field, making
enormous holes. Fragments
smashed the windows of the oper-
ating room.
A little Carolina kid was sit
ting in a wooden hut picking a
banjo and singing in nasal
whine,
my mothers dead in a lonely
grave,
My fathers ruined away,
My sisters married gambling
man,
And l have gone astray."
Bomb Strikes Door.
The explosions knocked down
the candles in the hut. The cap
tain sprang up and relighted them.
The kid stopped singing moment
arily, then asked:
Captain, hadn't I better keep
on singing?"

This is not an advertisement but
it's fact that Sam likes Camels

Co. G, 316th trains, has adopt
ed Sam, but it costs a lot to keep
the beast in tobacco. He eats Gig

NEW SHIPYARD WAGE SCALE

The U. S. shipping board wants
100000 expert workmen to labor

And there are thousands OF pa,
triotic American ,workmen who

FIRST-What wages the men
are to get?
SECOND-Where they are to
work?
TlllRD-What the housing
conditions are in the town to
which they may be sent?
As to wages, the answer In
effect is this: The prevailing
scale Of wages paid in union
shops in that particular Sec
ton will be paid.

Enroll i'm Tacoma.
Uncle Sam DOESN'T WANT
ANY MAN TO GIVE UP HIS JOB
AT PRESENT.
The shipping board, therefore,
is working in conjunction with the
labor reserve board of the u. :.
department of labor and is merely
asking men to enroll for future
serviCe---if called upon. In Ia
coma men are being enrolled at
the office of Jesse S. Jones, Ma
t'onal Realty building.
There is nothing obligatory
upon a man even when he is en-
rolled.
All that man really does is to
tell what kind of labor he can do
that would be useful in ship
building and to indicate will
ingness to go to some shipyard
when called upon-provided wages
and housing conditions appeal to
him.
II he doesn't like the job
Uncle Sans shipping board
offers him, he doesn't take it
and that ends IL.
There are about 1872 shipyards
now engaged in ship building.
More are being rushed to COM
pletion. Those already in opera
ton are extending their capacity.
Still others, which are working
two shifts, wish to work three.
To Provide Housing.
The housing problem is on the
way toward settlement. After
considerable delay, congress fin
ally has passed the $4,000, 900
housing bill. or this, Tacoma is
asking $1,500,000 as it's share.
Once this bill becomes a law.
the board will be able to have
homes erected near all shipping
centers, where the workmen can
be decently housed at a reason

That's wat the war has

establish headquarters in
France for soldiers from
Washington.
In another month, every
soldier in France who halls
from this state will be look
ing to Dean Priest as his dad.
And he will try to care for all
Of them like his own sons.
OF course, Washington hasn't
10000 men in France now, but
there are more than that many in
the service, and all are hoping to
get over there soon.
He's L. Of w. Dean.
Being father to thousands OF
young men will not be a new ex-
perience for Dean Priest. He's
been dean of men at the Univer-
sity of Washington for three
years, and has learned how to
help the many types of men In
his large family.
There are men in the service
over there who run short of cash
sometimes and would like to call
on dad as they used to occasion
ally when at the university. I'm
going to be that dad said Dean
Priest. IF a fellow comes to
Paris and runs short of money
for his legitimate expenses, I'll
surely help him out.

versity of Washington men, but
for any man from this state. This

Dean Priest will act as represen-

made by Gov. Lister. The enter
prise is being financed by the
Parents association. Parents
from all parts of the state who
have sons in the service are in
vited to membership. Contribu
lions are being received by Bursar
Condons at the university.

ters wi i the American Univer-

The union has remodeled the
Royal Palace hotel at an expense
of $50, 900 as headquarters. Main
tenance for the first year will be

all the needs here he will estab-
fish headquarters elsewhere, prob
ably nearer the trenches. He will
be accompanied by Mrs. Priest,
who will supervise the clerical
work, as she has had considera-
