SCHOOL SHIP

A merchant marine training STA
ton may be established at Tacoma
soon by Uncle Sam.
This was indicated Thursday by
a telegram from the U. s. ship
ping board to its representatives,
saying that such a station on tho
Pacific coast is under considera-
ton.
A navigation school for the
training of officers for the emer-
gency fleet has been in operation
in Tacoma for some time, and this
port Is considered the logical place
for training station.
Reports have been received here
that the cutter Bear Of the coast
guard service is on her way to the
sound to be used as training
ship.
Both seamen and inexperienced
men will be recruited In the north
west to train for the crews of the
emergency fleet, and they will be
given specialized training until
ready for sea. Men will receive
$50 q month during q six weeks
training courfe.

Grocers Make Plans
to Pool Deliveries
D.ANsANoo

Pooling of Tacoma grocery de-
liveries, with but one delivery a
day to customers, probably will
be the next step taken by retail
grocerymen to meet the regula-
tons of the food administration
The committee of grocers ap-
pointed to work out system of
cutting down overhead expenses
struck out along this line at a
meeting Wednesday night. Reso-
lutions were adopted urging
housewives to buy in larger guam
titles, to concentrate their trade
on one store, and to ask fewer
daily deliveries.
A plan of dividing the city into
delivery zones, with all the stores
in each zone pooling their de-
livery equipment, is being worked
out by the committee. These
zones probably will be the North
End, South Tacoma, West End,
Mckinley Hill and Sixth addition
districts.
The delivery cost amounts to
25 per cent of the total overhead
expenses, according to the esti-
mate of G.. j. MCPHERSON, secre-
tary of the Retail Grocers' asso-
citation. This big cost means

wakes up to its opportunities
and does something to help
the shipbuiIders, the Founda-
ton Co. will double the ca
pacity of It's yards here, Hip
kins announced.
The company is building 10
cargo ships simultaneously, al
ready employing 1900 men, and
spending $6,000,000 on the con-
tract. 1t is anxious to start con-
struction of 10 more ships at
once, but with the inadequate
street car service on the tide
flats, insufficient housing In Ia
coma, and a failure Of the bust
ness men to cooperate In help
ing supply materials for the ship
Yards, the new yard will be pre-
vented from carrying out its
plans. :.
Members of the city council
visited the Foundation Co. We'd
nesday afternoon, and found 10
ships under construction where
there had been nothing but mud
flats covered with water In Sep
TENDER. Z
The councilmen saw tired
workmen fight to ride on the few
street cars furnished by the city.
Then they came home and re-
solved to appeal to Tacoma's pa
triotism to make 1t easier for the
shipyards to operate.
Manager Bean of the T. r. &
p. Co. offered to put his cars on
the tideflats line to relieve the
afternoon congestion, II women
shoppers would not burden the
city lines. So Mayor Fawcett
has appealed to the women to
help.
Every person in Tacoma with
available room for shipyard
workers to live is asked to come
forward at once and relieve the
housing congestion.
Business men will be appealed
to in an effort to build up plants
that can supply materials to the
yards.

and the public statement of Bay
LEY Hopkins, manager of . the
Foundation Co., are published in

and only one delivery a day, one

Housewives are being asked to

ers on business-like basis, Or

in four or five grocery orders a

They also are being asked to
stop the practice of running ac-
counts in several grocery stores

expense.

The commander-in-chief of the

If Tacoma makes few sacrifices for the benefit OF

building center on the Pacific coast.
If Tacoma business men will get busy at once to
help supply needed materials, they will capture mil
lions of dollars in trade that is beginning to 60

This is the gist of statement read to the city coun
Gil in Mayor Fawcett's office Wednesday afternoon
by Bayley Hopkins manager of the Tacoma shipyards
of the Foundation Co., and made public today.
At the same time that he announced Hopkins state

: GOOD-+
BUSINESS

Somebody's always heaving hand grenade
at the head Of the commission man. Ii it isn't
the farmer, it the grocer.
Perhaps the commission man deserves lot
of those missiles, but anyhow we're here today
to toss instead a little bunch of verbal violets
at Tacoma S five fruit and produce houses.
That is we think we are.
AS we understand it, the commission men
have before them, and likely will adopt plan
to eliminate a great deal of senseless waste in
the conduct of their business. If they adopt it,
the bouquet goes.
The five houses operate in all II auto deliv-
cry trucks. Each one of the five houses makes
two or three deliveries day on each of about
eight long routes, and none of them has full
load to go out on any of the eight except rarely.
Now it is proposed that they pool their au-
tomobile fleet and instead of running five
trucks out on each necessary trip that they run
one or two if required
That means fewer men needed, much gaso-
line saved less trucks worn out. 1t means
saving to the five commission houses; it ought
to mean reduction in prices to the grocer.
The Times hopes the commission men will
not delay in adopting the system. 1t is fine
war time efficiency and plain good business to
boot.
Besides, the example might give our dairy
men nerve to adopt modern methods, too.
