Looks Don't Always Count

As rule a man is judged by his looks. But do not judge me by my looks, as it isn't the looks that produces classy work, but practical knowledge that does it. I am not classy looking. nor is my shop equipped up-to-date but am using the most intelli- gent and high class of cleaning supplies in conjunction with long years of practical know ledge and experience. And if you will hunt from coast to coast, you wont find a shop that will produce classier work, and without doubt, 95 per cent of the cleaning industry are not near as good.

Spreading out in open forma-

The expected German attack, in

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb.
6.-Under almost ceaseless
fire from the German guns,
American troops holding a
section of the battlefront in
Lorraine are preparing for a
German assault Of great mag
nitude. =.
The repeated raids against
American lines since discovery of
Pershing's troops in front TRENCHES
about Jan. 20, indicate, military
men believe, that the Germans are
testing out the strength of the
force preliminary to heavy as
sault.
Successive German raids on
Jan. 20, 81 and %, apparently
launched to identify troops in the
American sector, resulted in five
Americans being killed and 10
wounded.
There followed a period of sew
eral days pause, presumably
while reports of results were for
warded to German headquarters.
During this cessation from at
tack heavy fire was dropped
continually on the American
trenches.
Then on Jan. 81 the assaults
were resumed, in greater violence
and with heavier artillery and
barrage fire preparation, three
Americans being killed and 16
wounded in action during the en-
suing days.
All Of the German war weapons
were thrown into this fire-gas
shells included-with the evident
intention of testing the American
nerve under stress.
Every raid was repulsed by the
Americans and the barrage was
answered gun for gun. Thru the
mists that hang over No Mans
Land there will be ever increasing
numbers Of Americans thrown in
to the battle against the kaiser,
and the eyes Of the world today
are centered on the sector held
by Pershing's men as the first
great stroke against them Is
awaited.

CITY RESENTS
CLUB ACTION

There is no reason why the
Commercial club should jump on
the city council because street car
service in Tacoma is bad" de-
clared Mayor Fawcett Wednesday,
replying to the resolution OF the
traffic bureau of the club passed
Tuesday condemning car service
here.
The council has nothing to do
with the bad management of the
T. r. & P. street cars. Goodness
knows we have done everything
we could to influence Manager
Bean OF put on better service.
But we haven't gotteN anywhere
with 1t.
"The Commercial club is absurd
when it says that there is any
politics interfering with the re-
lations of the city and the street
car company. The council is just
as anxious as anyone to get better
car service. But what can we do
to force Beam"
City officials resented the Com
mercial CLUBS resolution concern
ing the municipal tideflats car
line. The club suggested that the
line be double tracked and that
better service be given.
I'VE started on the double
tracking two weeks ago, and as
soon as all the materials arrive,
we will have the entire line dou-
BILE tracked, except over the Mil
waukee viaduct and past the st.
Paul mill, where there are 10
grade crossings" said Commits
sioner Atkins.
IF the club members had in
vestigated they would have found
that we are doing everything hui
manly possible to get that car
line in good shape"
The city council introduced an
ordinance Wednesday transferring
$25, 900 from the light fund to the
street car fund for double track
ing the line.

DEMAND
CARLINE
HEARING

The board of trustees of the
Commercial club Tuesday adopt
ed a resolution submitted by the
traffic and transportation bureau,
authorizing the filing OF a petit
ton with the state public service
commission asking it to make a
thoro investigation of the street
car situation in Tacoma.
The petition will be filed with
in a week and it Is expected the
commission will set the case for
hearing at an early date.
The purpose of this action, ac-
cording to the words of the reso-
luton, is to get the commission,
thru it's legal authority to 'imme-
diately provide for safe, adequate
and sufficient street railway
transportation for the citizens of
Tacoma and vicinity, at just, fair,
reasonable and sufficient rates.
THE wage workers of our in
dustries are suffering by reason
of lack of facilities to transport
them to and from their place of
employment, and there are thous-
ands of soldiers at Camp Lewis
who are unable to come to the
city by reason of lack of trans
portation," the resolutions say.
Soldiers Neglected.
When hundreds of our soldiers
do get to Tacoma they are not
provided with proper transporta-
ton turnout the city and with
adequate facilities for transport
ing them to their headquarters
again"
They add that there does not
appear to be proper cooperation
between the city and other pub
lie service companies.
The Commercial club agrees to
abide by the decision of the COM
mission, and urges the citizens of
Tacoma also to give their sup
port to the decision.
I'VE go on record as pledging
our support to the public service
commission in attempting to work
out and put into effect the policy
which such investigation reveals
is necessary.
Whether the commission could
go beyond fixing rates and sched-
ules and take upon itself the
authority to compel street car ex-
tensions, is unknown.

Commercial club. Is to be a
friendly action against the

ten notes had been sent to the

Fawcett declared that Judge
Graham was giving maximum SEN
fences to almost every person
brought before him. with instruc-
tons to the police that they could
release the prisoner whenever
they chose.
1T means that good many
persons have been sentenced to
spend six months in jail for petty
offenses, and that the Judge has
told the police to release the pris-
oners when justice had been done,
but that the police have forced the
prisoners to stay for the full

Smith.
This arrangement was made
