6CEATTLE motorists place a
~ higher premium on the insane
desire for more speed than they do
on the value OF human life.
Many drivers are apparently out
TO KILL -
There is no such thing as closed
season on pedestrians.
Football players could get great
training in lodging and open field
running on Seattles streets
These are no idle statements.
They are facts proven by, actual ex-
perience. For two hours Wednesday
morning ! worked as a street ceaner
and got the real lowdown". on the
methods OF drivers OF automobiles
in the downtown district.
You can talk about the hazardous
occupations OF steeple climbing. deep
sea diving. dynamite manufacturing
and race driving. But the men en-
gagged in these occupations should
meet and pass resolutions Of admira-
ton to the Seattle street sweeper.
The courage his job requires sur
passes that Of the Mexican revoiu-
tionists.
/ can tell these things. but the
street sweeper won't. He must ven
ture out on the streets again to-
morrow and the next day. And no
doesn't want TO anger the motorists.
1t is dangerous enough with them
all feeling friendly toward him. so
he says nothing.
Wednesday the city editor decided
to find out exactly what kind Of
automobile drivers Seattle had. So
I went down to John Royle. store.
keeper in the street department, and
got an outfit and started to work.
The city made nothing on tho
deal was too busy lodging the
charging petrol buggies" to do any
work. And scared-say. wouldn't
do 1t again II 1t meant my job.
The first car, I tangled with was
a roadster that came tearing down
the street. / moved just in time
to avoid trip to the hospital and
went across the street. The driver
jammed on his brakes and turned
at the intersection to como back.

MACBETH IS COMING
Coloratura Will Sing for Mozarts Here
Saturday Night.

Judging from glowing accounts Of
the famous soprano, Florence Mae
beth. who comes here Saturday night
to sing under the auspices of the Mo
Fart Society. music lovers are due for
a treat Macbeth sings at Main Ave
nue. High School auditorium at S:lJ
o'clock Saturday night.
Each critic has q different method
of expressing himself but all seem to
agree that she herself is sparkling
music. joyous. winsome and fascinat-
ing. The following is how the critic
of the Tribune at st. Paul expressed
his admiration:
Then came Florence Macbeth, a
girlish figure in modest little gown
of white and silver. q gown that
twinkled and shimmered in the light,
and was altogether as charming as
the wearer. Such a slip OF girl she
looked. standing at the elbow of the
famous conductor. nodding gay little
mods to the audience. waiting eagerly,
it seemed. for her cue to burst into
song.
And her song, 4 flood of silvery
sweetness, a joyousnSss, an easy soar
ing TO high notes that was delight.
And an air of happiness that won
every heart in the audience.
Perhaps there was no moment
when Florence Macbeth so. utterly
claimed the affection of her clamorins
enthusiastic audience as after that
first number. when she leaned Tar
over the footlights to receive the floral
tribut, that completely filled the arms
of an usher. Then her arms full NJ
pink and white flowers, she threaded
her way through the orchestra, re,
turning TO acknowledge again and
again the applause of her audience.

GOING OUT TONIGHT?

You can usually tell when a girl
or boy is looking forward TO an eve
ming of real fun, or whether they feel
that they have simply been invited to
fill in," as they get ready to go TO a
party or dance.
The ones who have nothing to worry
them about the way they look are 30
much more noticeable by the shrinking
and backwardness of the ones who are
afraid to mingle in the fun because
shey know how unattractive they must
look on account of their pimply,
blotehy or rough. eezemic skin.
Their one friend is the wonderful
Black and White Ointment, il they
viii just use it faithfully, because it
will get rid of all those ugly bumps
and make their skin soft. smooth and
lovely. It is economically priced. in
liberal packages. The j0c size con-
tains three times as much as the pc
size. All dealers have it.
