You say "dummheit" by making harsh noise
down in your throat.
1t sounds like human being trying to make
noise like very frightful beast that has made up
his mind to scare the daylghs out of everything
earth
Still dummheit is not really threat to raise hell
but it is raising hell.
Dummheit sank the Lusitania
Dummheit bombs London babies.
Dummheit shoots the long range gun that de-
stroys churches in Paris on holy days.
* Dummhet assassinated Belgium; obliterated
Montenegro; wrecked Serbia; crucified Rumana;
seduced silly Russia; made Turkey even worse than
Turkey normally is; and tried to induce Mexico and
Japan to commit suicide.
Dummheit is German for stupidity wooden-head-
} edness-and from it kultur was born.
Dummheit is the dumbest sort of plain block
headedness that inflicted itself upon this
woodland the deuce of it is the only way to get it
out of the Teutonic head is to shoot it QUIT
Thanks of Johnny Bull, Les Poilus, the Yankees,
Signor Italia and the rest of civilization the shoot
ing is going on systematically.
o this old world will come out all right We have
discovered what as it, and have also discovered
the cure: BULLETS.
So we shall crawl out of the mire by and by.

Tacoma Called On for
Big Sewing Quota

The quota CT hospital garments
which the Tacoma chapter of Red
Cross is expected to finish every
month has been increased. If the
chapter is to keep up with it, not
only will the regular workers
have to give their usual hours.
but new women must give their
time and strength.
One glance at the shelves of the
supply room, where the great
piles Of unfinished garments are
kept, proves that there is work
for everyone.
From gauze face masks to
bandaged foot socks the list
ranges, and from operating caps
which the most inexperienced
sewer can make, to helpless case
shirts. complicated garments that
take an experienced seamstress
nearly day to finish.
The helpless case shirts are, as
their name implies, made for men
SO badly wounded that they are
difficult to move. One sleeve
and shoulder of these shirts is
left open and fastened with tapes
and they are made reversible, so
that they can be used for either
the right or the left side.
TacOma'S quota of these gar
ments for one month is 10 boxes,
and each box holds 800 shirts.
There are two workrooms for
the sewers In the downtown dis
trict. the fifth floor of Horgan-
Parker's, and the headquarters
room in the Federal building, and
besides these the city and the
county are covered by a network
of auxiliaries, where new workers
are always welcome.
II you do not know Of an aux
Hilary in your neighbOrhoOd,
telephone to Red Cross headquar-
tiers and the name of the nearest
one will be given you.

Dieter From
Mrs. WeYerhaeuSer

MIS-. WeyeflaeuSef
The following is a letter from
Mrs. j. p. Weyerhaeuser, chair
man of the Tacoma chapter of the
Red Cross.
1t has seemed most desirable
for some months that the intens-
i've activities of the Red Cross
should be well known to the gen.
erous contributors of the second
Arm of Defense.
With the vital contact the
Red Cross today has, not only
with our troops at the front. but
with all the troops of the allies
who have practically been fighting
our battles since the beginning of
this fierce war for democracy,
justice and humanity.
There is no American living
who is not eager to read every
bit of Red Cross news. The Ia
coma chapter, embracing as 1t
does all the Red Cross activities
for Pierce county, has made itself
| a powerful factor in the organiza-
tion and has been able to carry
on its noble work chiefly because
OF the willing cooperation from
every department when assistance
has been sought.
Again we thank our friends
who have always responded so
| eraciously in granting space
and publicity to all Red Cross
activities when called on; for reg
ular space twice a week, thus
enabling us to bring to the atten-
tiOn of the public not only local
items, but also much Of interest
direct from the front.
when the demands on our
| newspapers are so heavy for the
| regular news of the day, we
| greatly appreciate such a loyal
| spirit of service. Probably there
are no workers today rendering
more continual and effective SER
vice than the newspaper men.
Our Tacoma representatives are
| certainly to he reckoned among
the foremost in such patriotic SER
vice.
