But as long as the respectable
girl is going to be scandaiized
for going with a soldier they
will find girl who does not
care about her reputation.
OF course there are some SOL
diers who will not lower them
selves by going with such girls
and consequently have no girl
company. But there are others
more tractable.
Is it not unfair to the boys?

Dear Miss Grey: I come to
you with a question that has,
no doubt, confronted many
other Tacoma girls.
, Some time ago / met a SOL
der at an informal dance. ]
knew him to be a clean, re-
spectacle man, as he is a
friend Of the hostess. He es-
corted me home.
When we got on the down
town streets began to feel as
il everyone's eyes we're on me
and as If l had done some
thing wrong.
felt that way because no
was in q uniform and I also
knew full we'll how girls are
run down when they are seen
with a soldier.
In spite of that ! cannot be-
lieve / did wrong in accepting
his attention.
Now, Miss Grey, why is 1t
that soldiers are looked down
upon as they are? Even some
OF the families of boys in SER
vice talk scandalously about
the girl who goes with a SOL
der. Don't you think it is
unfair?
OF course, there are same
who are not altogether re-
spectacle, but why make the
innocent suffer with the
guilty?
The company OF a good girl
will do moro to keep up the
moral standard OF q boy than
anything else. 1t seems when
they are willing to sacrifice
their lives for MS that they are
as deserving Of such company
as any civilian.
Many OF the boys are total
strangers here and as they are
human like any one else they
will naturally seek company.

Victory Hall

From at least three standpoints, the proposed
Hall of Victory, to be built at Totem Pole park as
Liberty Loan headquarters, is one Of the best
community "stunts" of recent years.
First, for it's own sake. 1t will make conve-
nient novel and stimulating center for the big drive
Second, a publicity getter Not only at
home, but far and near word of Tacoma S unusual
enterprise will attract attention.
Third and most important, because of its inevita-
BILE by-product of good feeling and understanding
and cooperative friendship WOrkmen are giving
freely the labor by which the structure will be
made to spring full-grown in day. Tacoma bust
ness houses are contributing the materials. The
Commercial club, between which and the union
feelings is to dine the workers. and the leaders in
the club are to personally serve the meals This
good natured, pull-together affair ought to 60 a
long way toward removing what few remaining
sore spots there are.
Victory Hall should stand as monument to a
united Tacoma when it first sees sunrise next

ANSWERS CYNTHIA GREY

Dear Miss Grey: l have a girl
boarding with me who is very
negligent about paying her rent.
She makes $40 week, but ]
ask her only 81. Sometimes she
offers only $3.50 and says 1t is

night. She never helps me with
supper or the dishes. AS ] go

all getting pretty serious. yet 1

advise me of any other course |

FAIR PLAY.
To let the girl impose on y0m,
If she is able to pay, is unjust to
her as well as to you. You, as an
older woman, should talk to her
kindly about these failiBgs OF

Don't Be SidetraCked

The question whether the proposed municipal
line bonds will receive the sanction Of the fed
eral government while war is in progress need not
concern voters when they go to the polls April to-
pass the proposition of the city's acquiring the
railway system.
1t is one of those bridges that must be crossed
when get to it, just as the question OF whether
the legislature and the supreme court would vail
date the army post bonds was matter that Pierce
county voters had to leave for later decision when
they passed on that issue year ago.
The carline ordinance provides two courses of
action. First, for the city to make an estimate Of
what it is willing to pay for the railway system and
submit an offer to the present owners. Then, if
that offer should be rejected, to condemn in the
courts.
Provided the first method should be found to
work, we will probably have no occasion to worry
about selling the bonds at all, ass arrangements
doubtless could be made for giving them, instead
Of cash, to Stone Webster in payment for their
property
That would be the speediest method of munich
palizing the system. If conducted by city coun-
Gil in whose integrity and ability the people had
confidence it might be thoroly satisfactory
The Times is free to confess, however, that it
would favor the second method, condemnation. In
that case the defendants could if they wished, in
sist on payment in cash, and we should have to
sell our bonds in advance.
We also aware that, as the Capital Issues
committee of the government now looks at these
matters, the city perhaps would be unable to obtain
its sanction for floating the loan during the war;
However, the city would have every opportunity to
present the merits of the case to this committee
and might, because of the way the present bad
service is handicapping shipbuilding and transpor-
tation to and from Camp Lewis, be able to get the
needed O. X. at once.
But If not, would be that far along anyhow,
and as soon as peace was declared and the money
market loosened bit, we could go ahead promptly.
The thing to do now is TO MAKE A START.
Vote for the muny system.

Chickens do better II not given
a large run.
Many poultry raisers get good
egg and meat results by penning a
half dozen hens in a space 6 feet
wide by 10 feet long.
The size of the house depends
upon the number of chickens.
Each hen will need about a foot
of roosting space at night.
A dozen hens may be housed in

Dear Miss Grey: Answering
Farmer Boys question how to
cure a hen Of eating eggs. IL
a common scrub. the ak Is the
best and quickest way. but In
a prize flock it Is best to try
most anything first.
l have cured many. First
catch the hen or hens, but be
sure you have the ones with the
habit, then cut the end of the
upper bill 80 it will be blunt.
II it bleeds, scar it over with a
hot iron to stop the flow. By
the time the hens bill grows
out again II is cured OF the
habit. At first they stop be-
cause the bill is blunt and gore.
l have cured many hens that
had the habit bad. I am sure
1t will do what l say.

ASK ANTHRACITE MINERS
TO WORK NEW YEAR DAY

The anthracite industry has urged
the 143.O0O mine workers to observe
the birth OF 1919 by working and not
take any other days on during New
Year week as it is very important
to keep up the output of coal 20 the
utmost. :.
In many ,couierieS workers have
expressed their discrimination to-
work all week and thereby follow
out President Wilson's request for in
creased coal output. One days lozs'
in output is about 2I5.0O0 tons, so it
will be seen how much the continue
ton of work by the mine workers
means to the consuming public. @
