Urban League Reports Scar

Perhaps for the first time since the
sudden opening up of new war in
dustries there is noted remarkable
scarcity of colored men. The Chicago
Urban League reports that hundreds
of jobs are going untitled and the
lemand for colored men exceeds the
supply by an astounding margin. A
long list of industries opening their
doors to Negroes for the first time
is on file in its industrial bureau.
Recently this organization placed
over 900 colored high and grammar

How Can They Miss Him When
They Had Dead Aim?
BY Henry Brown.

Sunday a rather shabby looking
woman came into his store at 1880
So. State st. and questioned him re-
garding the price of some patent
rheu.A8..am medicine, and OIL being
told that the kind that she desired
would cost so cents, she readily
changed her mid and decided that
the only thing she needed was a two
cent stamp. This Mr.. Saunders
readily gave her ringing up two cents.
He contented himself for the time
being, but shortly after she left, ac-
eompanied by small boy, he found
that some one had mysteriously
walked away with about $500 that
he had in his drawer near the cash
register the proceeds of some money
orders he had written in favor of
some of his patrons. The police
from the fourth precinct station
came in and examined the drawer
and concluded that the woman must
have had an accomplice, who evidently
was a small child five years of age
who came to the store with her on
several occasions, and woud imme-
diately go behind the show case

How Could they Miss When They
Had Dead Aim?

And 50 they have no doubt aimed
at Mr. Saunders for quite long time,
and struck him in his most vital spot,
his pocket book. We hope however
that the police will in short time
run these sneak thieves to their liar
and capture them, Kidding society of
unnecessary parasites as well as di-
recting their aim from Harvey b.
Saunders to some other direction
where the loss will not mean so much
as in this particular case.

Midsummer blOuses are made In
such numbers of either georgette or
wolfe, that there is not much else TO
consider In blOuses. There Is no room
to doubt that these two fabrics are
far and away the favorites. They Are
the lOveliest of materials and the most
reliable as well, and are made In a
wide variety of plain and printed
patterns and In embroidered varieties
that are to be had wherever there Is
a dry goods store. The study of mid
summer blOuses Is, therefore. mostly a
study of designs to be worked out In
either wolfe or geOrgette. The pres
ent season offers variety of design
that is wonderful In both plain and
figured materials, In white, In colOrs
and In color combinations.
The blouses pictured here are of
the plain fabrics. That at the left
is of flesh-colored georgette with YES
tee set In In white. Fine side plait-
ings of the white georgette make the
dainty decoration that distinguishes
this from many lace.trimmed models.
The soft material Is shirred In along

Tacoma Offers to Buy
Street Railway Lines
From Traction Company

TACOMA, July 1S.--The Tacoma
city council today offered the Tacoma
Railway e. Power company $1,000, 900
for its street car lines within the city
providing a vote of the people sane
tions the purchase. Under the offer
the railway company would also agree
to finance a loan of s1.0O0,0O0 to the
city for the purpose OF putting the
lines in first-class condition.
In the past the company has put a
valuation of $6,000,000 on its lines.
The action of the council follows
the recommendation of a committee of
citizens appointed to study the street
railway problem. The committee de-
eided that the lines would be unable
to pay expenses under any fare that
the people would stand. Municipal
ownership was recommended as one
way to get adequate service.
Fares were raised from to 2
cents on recommendation of the COM
mittee nine months ago. but reports
OF the railay to the city show that
wage increases more than wiped out
the additional money from fares.
