Speaker Relates Experience Of the
Contractors Who Constructed
New Navy Building.

How chofal singing. speeches and q
band saved $500 a week for the COM
pany which constructed the Navy
building just completed was told yes
terday by Prof. Peter Dykema of the
War Camp Community Service, who
! led the singing last night at the
business women's council Of the
Y. W. c. A.
The construction company was
losing 600 men a week from its 5000
to 1000 workmen and having to re-
place them by laborers from New
York at a cost of S. per man." said
Prof. Dykema- IT was asked to lead
the singing at three mass meetings
lasting one hour each. which were
! held in the company's time at a total
! loss in wages of $4,000.
"Hard-headed business men recog-
nized the dollars and cents value OF
community singing, the fact that 1t Is
an influence which binds men to-
gether, which fills them with the feel
i ing that they are working together In
a big common cause.
"a few weeks later askedthe man.
ager of the company whether the
labor situation had improved and re-
ceived the answeF that the turnover
was now only 800 men a week, 81
weeks had more than compensated
| the company for the loss in wages.
| After the singing the delegates who
attended the Silver Bay conference OF
| the Y. w. C. A. on Lake George made
their reports to the council.

If he in times of peace had died,
the village would have lost its
breath, and groups of people
would have cried, "You love a
shining mark, o DEATH" And
we'd have talked for days and
weeks about his merit or his
flaw, and looked on men as
dreary freaks who did not speak
his name with awe. A silken
banner we would fling half

merchant prince, when dead
men strew the blood-stained

of pomp or circumstance; and
then we'll hustle back to town

Advancing from a membership
of 400 to $4,000, the Tacoma
chapter of the Red Gross has done
a" enormous work during Ameri-
cas- first year Of war. And each
month its service as the third arm
OF Uncle Sans fighting forces is
increasing.
Some idea of the time and en-
ergy put in by Tacoma Red Cross
women in war work is given by
these figures for the year:
Hospital garments turned out,
81, 458, or 100 a day. counting five
working days week; surgical
dressings for the last six months,
1885, or 1,106 a day; knitted
garments for the last seven
months, 11,613, or 50 day;
pounds of wool knitted into gar
ments, 5000, amounting to at
least $4,000; total yardage used
since last August, 101,S00, or a
length of 81 1-2 miles; Christmas
packages sent to Camp Lewis, o.
713; Christmas packages sent to
France, $40.
Volunteer Work.
In one year the income Of the
Red Cross in Tacoma has been
$S5,792.10, Of which $76,S19.63
has been spent.
And not one cent of this has
been spent for salaries. A year
ago the balance on hand was
S1S2.S2. Now it is $S,972.47.
The Red Cross campaign of last
May brought the membership up
from 600 to 5000. In June the
for 100000 increased
the membership to more than
10000.
After the Christmas drive at the
close of 1917 the mem bership was
1855, and since the first of jan
uary, 1918, 2,024 members have
been added, bringing the total to
42,022.
1t has been the loyalty of vol
unteer workers that has made the
success of the Red Cross possible.
Office expenses have been only
$67.14 a month. There have been
no rentals nor salaries.
The sources of income have in
