Likely to Come Out

London war experts are unanimously of the
opinion that Germany's high seas fleet will make
great drive, and even non-combatant landlubber
see strong grounds for such opinion
The taxed German people who paid for building
the kaisers grand fleet" are demanding retalia-
ton for what the British did to Ostend and Zee
brugge.
The U-boat ruthlcssness is not making good and
something must speedily be done to block the I'M
precedented transportation by Uncle Sam of men,
munitions and food to Europe.
If, during the excitement Of naval drive, a cou-
pie Of fast German cruisers could slip thru there's
no telling what they might not do to Uncle Sans
transatlantic transportation. Certain it is that
unless something of this sort is done Germany will
soon find herself greatly inferior in man-power,
gun-pOwer, air-power and food-power.
Then, too, there's got to be some sort of a stimu-
liant for the German morale. Hindenburg doesn't
able to get into Paris on April l. or any other
date; the cries of the wounded from Picardy and
Flanders are beginning to reach the folks back
home; and none of the kaiser's "great victories"
are producing anything to relieve hunger
Besides, Austria sick of war and sick with po-
itcal collie, and "my dear brother of Turkey
would quit if he could.
And there's the grand German navy hardly dar-
ing to move an oar Verify, the reasons for taht
navy's coming out are strong and numerous.

Save Waste Food

Not only is the garbage disposal ordinance
before the Tacoma city council incomplete-lud-
icruously so-in that it fails to make compulsory
general collection of the city waste, but it pos
sesses other bad Shortcomings
That is its failure to recognize the wartime need
and the always desirable end of food conservation.
In other words, it fails to provide for segregation
of garbage by the householder as up-to-date COM
munities are doing.
The modern practice is to require every home to
maintains two receptacles, small one for food
refuse, and larger for ashes, papers, etc. The
waste food products then are sold to hog raisers
and converted into food and fertilizer instead of
merely being used to fill so hole or being burned at
a considerable cost.
The community derives revenue from this sal
wage. The world gains in food output.
Progressive cities are doing this. Tacoma ought
to join the procession. And now is the time to
step in.

A Sheriff on the Job

Near Kelso, mother, daughter and son slept in
a tent. The murderer came, did his work and fled,
leaving but little evidence.
Country sheriffs are not always active in inn
portant cases Comic artists and jokesters have
found much joy by poking fun at the small town
sheriff.
But study Sheriff Studebaker of Kelso. Instead
of chewing bale of hay, he immediately got busy
with cameras and other evidence gathering ma
chnery and today he is hot the trail of the killer
We're hoping that the murderer is caught
quickly. And we're betting ON Sheriff Studebaker.

"A woman always pays for

Most men, Margie, must give
their wives the dregs OF more or
less promiscuous love making and
seldom can a wife give the charm

you, Margie, that you were able
to charm me oftener by surpris-

decided that 4 was because you

You can do anything, or be any,

tolerance the objectionable sin,
I feel that every young man, and
especially every young woman, is
intolerant, and surely it takes
years. of experience and gallons
of tears to bring us to a place of

Soap should be used very care
