GOLFERS
TO EXPLAIN

The omission of Tacoma's part
in the establishment of Camp
Lewis in the recent article on the
cantonment by William Slavens
McNutt in Golfers Weekly, as
first pointed out by The Times,
will be corrected by Golfers thru
editorial comment.
This was the statement Of F. j.
Reynolds, associate editor of Col
lier's, in a letter received by the
Tacoma Commercial club Monday.
McNutt's article, How Does the
West Stack Up" failed to men,
ton Tacoma's name, altho Seattle
was mentioned as being near the
cantOnment.
In this letter Editor Reynolds
declared Golfers has received
numerous letters since the arti.
cles appeared, pointing out tn.
omission.
Il wish to congratulate Tacoma
on the zealousness of its citizens,
he said.

SEIZE BOOZE
FOR TACOMA

Tacoma bootleggers received a
serious setback today as the re-
suit of the activities of the Seat
tie dry squad.
Six trunks, suitcase and Sour
galvanized tanks containing in
all 102 gallons, together with
$50 pint bottles of whisky, were
seized Sunday at the Seattle de-
pot. The trunks were checked
thru Oh baggage checks from Mis-
soula, Mont, to Tacoma.
The fact that the trunks and
tanks were checked on tickets
bearing consecutive numbers in
dicates to the police that all of
the liquor was purchased and
shipped by one man.
Two trunks were seized con-
tanning six tanks holding five gal
Ions each of whisky. Later two
burlap sacks containing four
tanks, two six-gallon and two ten
gallon tanks were seized, and in
the same car trunk and suit
case packed tight with bottled
pints were found. The bottled
liquor is eight years old.
Sunday night also three trunks
were seized containing kegs and
tanks of the same description as
those during the morning, togeth-
er with a number of bottles.

PARK MEN
ASK RAISE

A petition for flat increase
In wages of SO cents day was
submitted to the Metropolitan
park board Monday, signed by
every employe with the exception
of members of the office force
and the superintendent.
What action will be taken in
case the request is refused, the
petition did not say. 1t was
signed by As employees, including
the head florist and his assistant
the foreman, police, watchmen
janitors, laborers, teamsters
boatmen, and the manager of the
Point Defiance pavilion.
They declare the increased cost
of living has made higher wages
imperative and that 81 and $4.5t
day is being paid for similar
work in other plces. The laborers
now are receiving $3.50 a day
while other employees are receiv'
ing an average of 500 month
IL was intimated that the parf
board, at its next meeting, viii
refuse to grant the increase OIL
the ground that wages have beer
raised twice recently.

Endorses Idea
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
/ read with great interest
your article pertaining to maxi
ing Tacoma a free port"
Your suggestion that the city
council, Commercial club, labor
unions and other officials take
this free port" subject up ag-
excessively Is sure move in the
right direction.
would also suggest to your list
the county commissioners and Ro-
tary club.
1t is of great interest to all the
people in Southwestern Washing
ton. The endorsement OF free
port" here by the commercial
clubs and city councils of cities
and towns in the district would
be of great help to us.
The location of free port" here
is OF vital interest to the United
States government.
| Chester Thorne would make an
excellent leader in this cause. A
more honest, honorable, loyal man
cannot be found.
Let us all pull together for a
free port" and make Tacoma
known the world over as a great
seaport.

Warn her against cutting

Women wear high heels which

then proceed to trim these pests,

realize the terrible danger from
infection, says a Cincinnati au-
thority.
Corns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get
from any drug store quarter of
an ounce of drug called freezone.
This is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from

few drops directly upon the ten.

with the drilling of soldiers in all
of the Ia cantonments except
Camp Lewis?
Since Maj.-Gen. Greene's return
from France the government has
requested all kinds of war prac-
tice as carried on in Europe be
carried on at the cantonments in
this country.
Now, what will the soldiers 81
the 9lst division know about
shooting down flying machines
in France in a battle unless they
practice shooting blank cartridges
at flying machines as they fly and
dip az all angles?
There is no use of drilling men
to fly in Alaska unless they have
troops of soldiers to practice with
This is a serious matter and oui
government should get busy on
this matter at once.

GOES FOR
"SLICKER"
OFFICERS
(Special to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 29.
Lets save all this leather
says Democratic House Leader
Claude Kitchin, speaking of the
boots and leather puttees worn
around Washington by "slicker'
officers who are engaged in easy
office work.
Kitchin's effort to make the
"slicker" wear a white band on
the arm or some other disting-
uishing mark to indicate that they
are not the real thing, has so far
resulted in more fun than laws.
The slickers still dress up like
fighting men and some Of them
wear spurs. Kitchin is determin-
ed to put them in long pants.
Most of them are of draft age
now" he says, land it's time they
took off knee breeches. am sure
l can pass a bill like that. It's
got conservation in it, you know,
and it's a war measure.
Everything is war measure
now from votes for the ladies to
free seeds for desert farmers. And
this conservation thing is great.
The slickers are trying to save
their own hides. Now l want to
save the hides they are using up
in boots and puttees.
| Really a man can navigate
Pennsylvania avenue without put
tees, and if we saved $4,000 pairs
of puttees for the boys who have
to wade in trench mud and vault
thru barbed wire and shell pits
maybe they could get 'em cheaper
Then we could make can
|openers out of all the spurs we
we would save so that the boys
could open their beef cans with
Them"
Underneath all of Kitchin's
Joking there is serious purpose
Ito wipe out the evil of camouflaget
officers in the non-combatan'
branches of the army.
AS he says, none of these re
marks apply to genuine staff Off
GERS who are compelled to remain
behind for necessary work.
