REQUEST FOR IMPROVE
MENTS ON FERRY
"WASlIlNGTON'
TO the Honorable Commissioners
Of King County:

OIL Mig county:
The Vashon Island CONNER
cial Club, a representative body
Of two hundred members. res
pectfully represents that the
Ferry washington" is an anti,
quated boat, running from Seat
tie to Yashon Island, without a
single modern comfort Of travel,
and as a county-owncd utility it
should be improved in keeping
with the times and the increased
traffic.
The discomforts of the boat
consisting mainly Of windows
too high to see out of; seats that
are hard benches. and toilets that
should be condemned, are the
subjects of wide complaint, ana
injurious to the development of
the Island. as well as an mncc-
cessary hardship on travellers,
both regular and tourist.
We believe that at small cX-
pense much eff this can be remed-
led, and therefore ask you to
make provision in the forthcom-
ing budget as follows:
l. For lowering windows $3.50.
2. For modern seats $3.50.
3. For toilets 5000.
We submit also that the Mar
ion Street Dock House is in a
wrotchedlN unsanitary condition
and that provision should be
made at once for the use of all
the docking property obtained
from the port of Seattle and for
strictly dock purposes, and that
a suitable SUM be appropriated
for the Improvement of said dock
house and an overhead landing
at the ferry slip. For the want
of such an improvement the fer
ry passengers and autos are com
PEELED unnecessarily to lose five

GEORGETOWN HAS LEAD
OVER FORDHAM Rivals

has won six, lost three and suffered
two ties. These two Catholic
elevens battle IN New York next

Fordham conquered, 26 to o, in
1907 and % to 0 in 1908. In 1908
no score was made and the uni
versities broke off relations, coming
together again in 1914 when an
otner no-score game was played.
Georgetown finally broke into the
winning side in 1915, 10 to 0. Again
was Georgetown triumphant in
1917, this time IL to 0. Fordham

Outweighed by much, but dis
playing lots of speed and courage,
the Waverly A. c. eleven held the
Mercury team to q 13-to-G score. AZ
usual, the Mercury backfield, fleet
strong and experienced, was equal
to its task in the end and showed
over a pair of touchdowns.
Waverly looked best after the
opening kickoff when it rushed the
ball for three successive first downs.
A 15-yard penalty killed off Its
chance to score, however. Waverly
made another bid for touchdown
in the second quarter. when by
virtue OF several forward passes,
they got to the S-yard line. The
Mercurys smeared Waverly good
and proper here, though, stopping
their lighter foe cold.

MACK DECIDES

Puts Out $50, 900 for Play

Finally realizing that 1t Is inn.
possible to purchase pennant
material on a penny-ante scale.
Connie Mack has joined the class Of
wild financial plungers. An in.
vestment Of $4,000 might bring
back 100000, while free pickups
seldom get any place.
Having expended $1o5, 900 q year

and IL there Is an upset next year

A month ago Connie paid 100000

Other purchases by Mack include

Paul Strand, sS5, 900 for AL Sim.
mons and $4,000 for Bishop.
In assembling his 1925 edition
Mack is looking for a ripping right
handed pitcher. II he lands one he
should be real contender for the
pennant.
The main strength Of the right.
handed pitching staff is found in
Ed Rommel, Dollie Gray and Bryan
Harris. He has five southpaws in
Groves, Baumgartner, Waldberg
and Meeker and perhaps he win
whip aside precedent by relying on
left-handerg to pitch the AS to the
pennant. It is not impossible.

apples that were too rotten for

else.
1t must have an element of
authority which the Constitu-
ton says is too wicked to be
used on sacred holidays, too
sacred to be used on weekdays
and too scarce to be consumed
in between.
That Eighteenth appendix
ought to be cut out during the
season Of the year when tradi-
ton tells US we should be ex-
changing good cheer. That
amendment takes all the meat
out Of mincemeat, fruit out Of
fruit cake and plums out of
plum pudding.
And old slippers aren't the
only refuse which goes into

odds and ends that have been
resting in the attic during the
year will add SAVIOR and variety
to the taste of your tid-bit.
In grandfather's day they
used to fill a fruit cake with
raisins, currants, citron and
other fancy garbage left over
from Sunday dinners.
Then, as years went on, and
food became higher, and there
was nothing left on the family
plates, the cook substituted b.
cycle sprockets, cologne stop
pers, celluloid collars and bird
seed. =
Now, Congress has taken
away the only former ingredi-
ent that made all of the other
bric-a-brac digestible and any
body who knowingly eats fruit
cake or any of its little
brothers and sisters under diff
ferent names does so at his or
