Swift &Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only IA cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waived all profit on
cattle, and gave it to
consumers in the form Of
lower beef prices, this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats. !.
In fact, the packers pro-
fit is SO insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumner the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing. -.
It is because Of the
volume Of meat hand
led that the investor
in Swift & Cornpany's {.
business receives a salts
factory return upon his /,
money.
These figures for 1917
are convincing:
The profit Of $1.29

IA cent per pound
on dressed beef =

A Legend

There has come to my mind legend,
a thing | had half forgot,
And whether | read it or dreamed it,
ah, well, it matters not.
It is said in heaven. at twilight, a
great bell softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken to
the wonderful music that rings,
IL he puts from his hearts inner
chamber all the passion. pain
and strife,
Heartache and weary longing that
throb in the pulses Of life
If he thrust from his soul all hatred,
all thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight how
the bell of the angels rings.
And / think there lies in this legend,
if we open our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my
friend, to you and to me.
Let US look in our hearts and ques-
ton, "Can pure thoughts enter
in
To soul if it be already the dwell
ing of thoughts of sin?''
So, then, let US ponder a little; let US
look in our hearts and see
If the twilight bell of the angels could
ring for us-you and me.

Landlords and Babies

London is already facing contest between her
landlords and her war-babies.
In spite of the disapproval of landlords children
WILL continue to get themselves born. 1t is not
yet considered good form to kill off those so
fortunate to arrive meath apartment house roofs
All the most vengeful landlord can do is to hustle
out the parents and baby and hang neat sign at
the house entrance-"NO Children Allowed"
As direct result of the war many young wives
of professional and business men who lost their
lives wrecked their health at the front, find
themselves forced to earn living for their chill
dTen, themselves, and often, for disabled hus-
band
There is no lack of employment. What is lack
ing is proper place and provision for the of
the war-babes, the small children they must leave
to go to their work.
One young mother in a government office
ported that she had been ''hOunded out of her
lodgings and refused again and again at other
places because of her children She could not
leave them at home, nor could she take them to her
work.
To relieve the condition chain of day nurseries
is being established where these babies may have
proper food and the watchfu of trained nurses
Day nurseries for the children of working moth
ers compromise, not solution of the problem
What is needed in England-and will be needed
in Tacoma as well is some municipal govern
mental regulation of the powers of landlords to
prevent the eviction of tenants who have the patr
otism to become parents.

Pretty Good Sort, Eth?

The Italians-influenced by devil-made rlmors
were still retreating before their German-Aus-
tran "kamerads'
Then British and French troops poured into italy
commanded by Foch.
AT once the Italians began to make some sort of
stand.
An Italian boy soldier loaded down with heavy
bag of supplies was climbing steep path. No
horse or automobile could make it; everything
must go on mems backs.
The young Italian very tired. The load was
too much for him, but he kept plugging ahead.
He heard footsteps. A brisk old dressed in
the horizon blue of France came up beside him.
"Pretty heavy load for you son." said the old
Frenchman, speaking Italian.
"Ouo, IN sieu," agreed the son of Italy, speaking
French to be courteous
"Let me give you hand, " said the old French
soldier, and he seized the heavy bag and threw it
over his own shoulders, and the sons of the two old
Latin nations kept climbing. After time the man
in horizon blue said, "Let's rest minute" and
they sat down beside the path
Soon some Italian general staff officers appeared
one of them being on the king personal staff OF
the two soldiers by the roadside came to their
feet to salute the high officers.
But the italian officers stopped. The one who
belonged to the kings personal staff calculated
word
"FOCH!"
That's who it was-Foch, Gle Patron" which is
French for the Big Boss,
He had been caught acting like common human
being. But it didn't feaze him. He Didn't forget
that he is LIE Patron. He saluted the italian high
officers stffy, threw the bag his shoulders again
and with the italian boy soldier beside him protest
ing yolubly, those two started up the path again.
Pretty good sort to have in charge of our boys
who go lover there"

Showing Common Sense

We salaam to the new park board. AT it's first
session it voted to open the Mercedes bath house.
Our only regret is that the new members didn't
come into office few months sooner.
To permit that big bathing establishment to
stand idle merely because it needed some repairs
was one of the many pieces of stupidity the old
board was guilty of. Tacoma needs recreation ia
cilities, always has needed them, but now with the
new populations needs them doubly. The bath
house will be big help in giving the crowds
healthful amusement.
Rush those repairs!
