Government Asks Tacoma For Housing Facts
Soldiers Wife Pleads For Room For Riddles

Editor The Times:
SIS there to be no room for an American woman :
in her own country with her own boy9
Il am writing to you SUBJ ect that to me is Of
great Importance at this critical time. Not only
does it me, but also many others in Tacoma
who are left to battle alone
II am working woman, am proud to say. I
am left with boy six years old, whose father is at
the front.
''When I protested at an increase in rent my
landlady replied that l had three days notice to
get out, and further remarked, Where will you gog
Everything is filled up and no one will rent to a
woman with child
''Neither my youngster nor are at home all day.
1 am quiet woman and try to take the best ofcare
OF my apartment My youngster is in bed every
night at o'clock and is not destructive.
81 have looked thru the papers and also gone
around to look for something chcaper-withn my
means.
There is almost nothing to be had. Then when
tell renters that wish rooms for myself and little
boy, they slam the door in my face and say, NO
CHILDREN ALLOWED
''Now, this is a serious proposition, and what am
I to do?
'Yet am expected to buy Liberty bonds and
savings stamps.
''Lets start at home and make it fit to live in and
provide shelter for the child | am willing to do
my share, but under these circumstances 1 can do
nothing. 49,
"'No CHILDREN seems to be the cry, and
high rents. Does the country want to kill out
the white race? That is about what it will amount
to- for l can see very plainly that to the new ywed
those signs are dscouraging.
ITS THERE TO BE NO ROOM FOR AN AMER =
ICAN WOMAN IN HER OWN COUNTRY WITH
HER OWN AMERICAN BOY?
81 am an American and red-blooded one, and am
doing the best that L can for our boys, but under
the circumstances 1 cannot give as much as l would
like to.
Trusting this will help to bring results beg to
remain, your for liberty, justice and democracy

He has never given me a ring,

him and he loves me. Do you
think that value the ring
more than him? If he were poor

ton l should never give this a

EARLINE.
Perhaps. A man who is in love
with a girl seldom has any idea
Of the importance which she at
taches to the ring.
Talk the business side Of the
engagement over with him. Young
people sOuld be able to discuss
practical matters, even very small
things, before they marry, IL they
love and trust eaci, other suffi-
GENTLY to marry at all.
Getting acquainted after the
wedding is a very poor policy.
Dear Miss Grey: A friend
of mine says that our boys in
France will have to pay their
own expenses to get back home
after the war is over. l say
no. Who is right? L. J. B.
Such statement as that made
by your friend is absurd and uh-
called for. Our boys will come
home on the government trans
ports. Kindly tell your friend
for me that il would be wise for
him to become better informed ON
such subjects before giving OuI
such information.
Dear Miss Grey: The great
industries that the war involv-
es has brought us to Tacoma.
Since my arrival | have found
SO many important questions
asked of you and you have an
swered so discreetly that l am
going to ask you that which
concerns myself and family
very much.
What can one do with a
woodshed and chicken house
infested with fleas? Also
what to do to keep them from
biting us? Myself and babies
are suffering from the pois-
onous effects of them. Wo
never saw a flea before coming
here. Thanking you,
A READER
For protection against the in-
sects, cOncoct the following: Hay
oil. pressed, 100 parts; acetic
eaclier, IL parts; close oil, 4 parts
and eucalyptus oil, 3 parts. Use
as a spray on your bodies and
clothing.
One Of the very best applica.
tions to remove the poisonous, ir-
ritable effects of the bites Is:
MenthOl I'm alcohol, 4 part to 10.
IL you have dogs or cats, they
are the source Of the fleas. Get
a good insect powder from your
druggist, use it on them freely.
Your druggist will also advise you
Of good spray to use In the hen
house and wood shed.
Dear Miss Grey: l know a
certain girl who was arrested

ing. She is willing to reform

marrying her. She is very
pretty, neat and has practical
ly raised herself, being an or
phah. My family objects stren-
uously to my marriage, espe-
cially my brother, who is we'll
known and who holds a good
position here. They claim
will disgrace them by marry
ing this girl.
I have known her for a year,
but have been going with her
only seven weeks. / don't

gagged to her or not. will
eagerly await your answer,
ROLAND.
Seven weeks Is not near q long
enough time to knew even the
best Of girls before asking to
marry her. do not propose to
this girl for seven months; by
that time you can decide whether
she has reformed or not.
