when your ticket just calls for a ride in the day coach, he will be Johnny 7n the spot to relieve you of the additional coin. So, don't try to fool 'em. Aou cant set away with it.
 The new rates go into effect today. They are three cents a mile. plus one- half cent a mile for the privilege of riding in a Pullman. War tax, pc- cent on the railroad ticket, and 10 LOT cent on the Pullman ticket Mileage books at the same rate, three cents I mile. with an additional charge of one- half a cent a mile if the holder goes into the Pullman.
 MILEAGE BOOKS
 Mileage books sold under the old rate will be redeemed at the same rate at which they were sold.
 Excess baggage books have heen abolished. and the new rate fixed at Is cents a hundred pounds, with a minimum charge of 25 cents.
 Travel, it is expected, will be some lighter with the higher rates than heretofore. but revenues are expected to be greater. This results in two ad l. vantages to the railroads. and inci- dontally to the administration. namely, fawer cars in use and more money Tn the treasury.
 When Director General McAdou made his order some three or four months ago requiring deposit with each Pullman reservation he announced that it was done for the purpose of conserving motive power and cars; that by refusing to reserve accommo- dations in the sleeper until paid for the necessity of hauling extra and practically empty Pullmans would be obviated. and it is said that the order did have that effect.
 Perhaps he had the same purpose in mind when he made his recent order.

WHITE GIBSON SENDS RINGING TELEGRAM ID MERCER BARNETT
Urges United Action in the Selection of a Congress man Who Will Stand
 by the President

When Chairman J. Mercer Barnett read a telegram from White F. Gibson, al the patriotic meeting in the Jefferson theatre Friday night, the audience cheered and applauded vigorously. MT. Gibson had apparently expressed the sentiments of every man present and they did not hesitate to express their indorsement ei what he said in his telegram,
 MT. Gibson is known to the people oi Birmingham and Jefferson county; he Is known to be the friend of the working people; he is known as loyal, red-pioode' American, 100 per cent patriotic. He does not mince words in speaking Of those who, in his. opinion, are not giving the best that is in them to President Wilson and the nation in this time of national peril. when the people of America are on trial before the free countries of the world.

 MT. Gibson's telegram reads:

CLEAN RECREATION

The FoSdlck commission had govern ment support, standing as 1t does fer clean recreation as substitute fot wrongful indulgence. Recently when some preachers objected to band con- certs ol Sunday at the camps the com handing officer answered.: These boys need the hand concert on Sunday and they are going to have it. indicating that the soldier knew more about human nature than the preacher.
 The church may as we'll face the proposition, that the world in awaken ing to the fact that play has it's right ful place in the lives of men, the right full play instinct teaches that the indi- vidual in all classes must be dealt with.
 Human history repeats itself there is nothing new under the sun; the same tendencies has attended humanity all ways, and always win while humanity remains az it is and has been. The reason why our churches have so per- sistently frowned upon all so-called worldly anlusements, dates back to the earliest days when the Catholic church was supreme and during it's days of abso- lute rower much that was undesirable entered into it's life. The Protestants then coming into being, decided to swing clear away to the other extreme, laying down forms of absolute austerity, and beauty and flowers and music were all taboo. There must be no joy or glad ness, religion was made doleful, melan- choly business, fuI! or gloom and sad ness But that is not Christianity, it has nothing whatever to do with the living of the Christ life.
 A HAPPY PEOPLE
 "The old Hebrews were a happy peo- pie, who praised God with dancing and with song-with joy they acknowledged him. Paul says that there is nothing wrong except the thought behind tho deed that makes it so, and admonishes the apostles not to let the traditions and ideas of certain men make prisoners ot them. Let no man take a nonessenti;ll and bind you to 1t, is his admonition, having the larger vision of what the Christian life really meant
 Jesus came to give life more abun- dant. not to curtail and make narrow; he widened the horizon, he gave scope to the imagination, he gave freedom to man. In taking our play, our recreation, let it be with a view to build up, td enable us better to create whatever our line of en0eavor may be.
 And always have this in mind, that if certain forms of recreation that can. not hurt you are a stumbling block to the young. and the weak, forego it. Say nothing, do nothing. listen to nothing that you would feel ashamed of Christ knowing about, that is safe rule to follow in your hours of play and re- creation"

Necessity for Play in Lives of Men and Women Being Generally Realized, Says

 Jesus was severely criticized by the self-righteous Pharisees for mingling with the reopie ana partaking of their pleasures, said pr. Edmonds in part. "Men In these latter years have come to realization of the elemental neces- sity for play in the lives of men and women as well as boys and girls, and large provision has been made in soma of our great cities for that necessity, in great parks. public golf links, tennis courts, swimming pools and other re- creations.

Tacoma, faced by pressing problem of housing
great numbers of incoming shipyard workers, must
never for minute forget the human element in the
equation.
Seattle is up against the same problem we are.
When it was first tackled number Of Seattle's old
heads got the idea of bunking workmen in down
town building lofts. They seemed to believe that
they had hit upon an adequate-even clever-solu-
ton.
Gradually it dawned upon our sister community
that these skilled mechanics might prefer to live
human beings Finally campaign to build attrac-
tive little homes was started.
And now the architects have offered free help to
people who want to adjust housing conditions to the
needs of the new population.
Profiteering was, and is still perhaps, on Of the
dangers in the situation that must be watched care
fully, both there and here The shitects have set
splendid example for their greedy brethren
But what is more important Seattle has awak-
ened to the senseessness of ignoring the human
element 1t is ridiculous to believe that these men
wouldn want and demand, homes in the real sense
of the word.
The old idea that working men can be treated like
animals, without regard for their normal human de
sires doesn't fit into the new order of things This
"loft idea belong in the old order. The new order
calls for homes and real American standards.

of German militarism.

An opportunity is now presented for the entente
to score an unprecedented victory in diplomacy by
announcing specific peace terms concerning Aus

should the United States and Great Britain and
Russia unite at once in this new offensive.
Three factors have brought about the present un-
rest in Austria Hungary
First the skilled handling of the Brest-Litovsk
negotiations by TrOtsky, whereby Germany has
been forced to acknowledge imperialistc peace
ambitions; second, President Wilson's statement
Of Americas war aims third, Premier Lloyd
Georges statement of British war aims.
A new declaration by these three nations, offer

might well result in taking from Germany her prin-

KNOW HOW TO TREAT A HUSBAND7
BY Cynthia Grey
10 you know how to treat

Do you know how to treat q
husband?
II so, tell how. The Times
would like to publish your recipe.
The query Is suggested by q
paragraph in Safety Engineer
ing:
Don't overwQrk the husbands
after they get home from a day Of
arduous TOLL" says DR.. l.. p.
Kuhn. "A man who has worked
steadily all day is not in condi-
tion to work three or four hours
longer about the house. II wife
Is inconsiderate enough to make
him wash dishes. clean the house,
or look after the children, she Is
impairing his efficiency"
A passage like that is not
based on one example Of an over
worked husband. The grievance
must have become quite common
before it attracted professional
attention, and the admonition OF
DR.. Kuhn should be also a warn
ing to the wives whom 1t fits.
The condition Is not at all to
the credit of a certain class of
wives, some of whom see to it that
husband takes a turn in the
kitchen about a. m, as well as
after business hours. Lots of pa
tient husbands get their own
luncheons while wife finishes her
beauty sleep.
Men are such patient things.
They usually marry with the ex-
pectation OF enjoying the gentle
ministrations of a woman in the
home. And the nicer they are,
the more patiently they endure
the breakup of thei< bachelor
dreams. But no man was ever
neglected or imposed upon by his
wife without finding 1t out some
time, tho most husbands are too
wise to talk much about 1t.
The above quotation from DR..
Kuhn says for thousands of over
worked husbands what they never
venture to put into words. Yet
many of them must feel that
when they waste their energy
washing dishes and sweeping, they
also lose part of their value to
