Bow With the Basket

Forbes Magazine has got up list Of so Of
Americas foremost leaders of finance and busi-

some interesting data.
OF the 80, "a are sons of parents who in poor
circumstances, nine had rich parents and II had
parents only moderately well-off. \
There's only one school teacher in the list of those
who became big and rich, and we hold our breath
while announcing that 16 per cent of those who
started poor began grocery boys. There may not
be whole lot of high instruction in Bro. Forbes

spectful to your grocery boy, whose potentialites
may not appear on his surface.

What Will the Start Be?

The woman's suffrage amendment is slated to be
voted on in congress Thursday. This means that
The measure will come up for discussion on Wednes-
day How is congress going to start the new yearf
"A lot of good Americans have been pretty well
peeved at suffragists in general account of the
late "picketing" of the president by small body
Of women styling themselves the National Woman's
Party. However, this is dead issue now-and one
not likely to come to life again.
In the meantime, the question of the vote is
vital one, not to few expckets exclusively but to
hundreds of thousands of women all over the United
States 1t is this larger phase of the situation that
congress has got to consider, and without letting
any small personal pique on account of the recent
unpleasantness at Washington enter into the con-
sideration.
The question of the federal amendment is one for
congress to settle. Doubtless many congressman
are now taking counsel on the subject. How will
they start the new year? Will they start it fear
lessly and unequivocably by voting for the amend
ment, once and for all Or will they bubble oven
It for days on end, and then wind up by doing moth
ingi
The only that can be given so far is that it
viii all depend upon the size and breadth of the
average congressman's mind. But in these days OF
big things, and of doing big things in big way, it
can at least be reasonably hoped that that mind has
Nxpanded and developed sufficiently to allow of a
favorable ballot.

Good For Wallace

Hugh c. Wallace, in announcing plan for build
ing 600 houses for sale to working men at reason
able cost and easy terms, proves himself a mighty
loyal Tacoman and patriot Both the city and the
government need housing facilities here as The
Times some months ago pointed out.
In putting his money into houses for sale Mr.
Wallace no doubt will make reasonable profit
but on the other not so much profit as he could
make these days in different lines.
Other men of money must follow his lead If Ia
coma is to expand as it should. Housing, as we
have been crying from the house tops since last
summer, is, jointly with local transportation, our
greatest present weakness an industrial city.

Dear Miss Grey: read an
article in your column signed
A. G. H. beratipg the U. s.
government for drafting some
men and permitting others to
work In the shipyards.
l should say that A. G.. II. Is
very much misinformed and
your answer to him, Miss
Grey, was exactly right. Only
skilled labor in the shipyards
receive five and seven dollars
a day, and these men for the
most part are far above the
draft age and have spent years
learning their tardes. Unskill-
ed laborers receive three dol
lars and twenty-five cents a
day, and helpers receive three
dollars and sixty cents, and
unless a skilled mechanic they
are not exempt from the draft.
Out of this they buy food,
clothes and pay rent, etc. It's
a cinch that there is something
wrong with the way A. G. H.
reasons when he says the ship
builders are any better off
financially than the soldiers.

Dear Miss Grey: Not being
oveEburdened In a financial
way, l feel that it would not
be a good policy to take the
money that 1t would require to
purchase a good diamond ring
for my fiancee. Rather than
get a cheap diamond, would
not some other stone do for an
engagement ring, for instance,
her birth stone? F. A. B.
Most stones which are suitable
for an engagement ring are as ex-
pensive or more so, than the d1a-
mond. As the young lady must
wear the ring, why not talk the
matter. over with her? II she is
