Monday was the day supreme
in the Red Cross gift shop. II. C..
Rooms, Tacoma groceryman, was
the good Samaritan who produced
all of the excess happiness which
was running around making all OF
the pretty Red Cross women
smile.
The reason was gift from
Rooms of two splendid bay horses,
beautifully matched, Dick and
Speck, ages 9 and 10 years. They
will be sold at auction Friday
noon at the intersection of Broad
way and St. Helens.
Dick and Speck are splendid
animals. and have been used by
Rooms in his business for some
time. He has now purchased an
auto for deliveries and instead of
selling the horses for himself he
has turned them over to the Red
Cross shop.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN BELGIUM, June 25.-Ypres
today is not deserted city. There
is life amid the ruins made by
German guns. Not all the popu-
lation of the famous Belgian
cathedral town has fled.
The swans are still there.
For three years they have lived
in a shrapnel-swept desolation.
Hundreds of bets have been laid
by soldiers on how long they
would continue to nest In the
Ypres moat.
Early in the war these swans
were famous. Then they became
merely objects of mild curiosity.
Now they are accepted by the
British army as part of every
day life.
The ramparts above their home,
centuries old, are torn and SCARED
and pitted by Hun shells. but they
remain intact. And the one little
family OF swans lives ON, un-
scared by shrapnel. unfrightened
by air-bombs--liying reminders OF
