In an hours talk with Judge Grif.

mcnt. discovered that he has not
been content to identify crime IN our
city and 20 determine the chief
causes. but he has looked for rem.
edy. And there Ia nothing now or
Sensational about the remedy he of.

The foundation that he suggests
for local law enforcement is simply
the consolidation Of city and county,

OF course, there are other things

THE enforcement OF law is largely
matter OF administration. Judge
Griffiths said. I'VE have plenty OF

arc three sets OF enforcement officers
in Seattle-the police. the sheriff and
the federal officers. Tho responsi.
biliity Is divided three ways.

This multiplicity of officers,
courts and laws not only means
expense and confusion, and
greatly encourages the well worn
art Of passing the buck, but In
many cases II actually hinders
proper prosecution.

we will talk about our state and city
courts.
Most OF the big offcnses. YOU

PILOT CLUB GIVES BRIDGE
 PARTY FOR BENEFIT OF LODG


 The Pilot club entertained Saturday afternoon at the home Of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Chandler at a benefit bridge party for the purpose of raising funds for the lodge at Grandview which is owned by the. club.
 The lawn of the Chandler home was lovely with its profusion of shrubbery and flowers, and thirty tables were ar ranged for bridge. Punch was served during the afternoon at a pretty ap- pointed table by Mrs. Chandler who wore a dress of figured georgette and Miss Anne Chandler, who wore geor- gette trimmed with lace. The first prize for high score was a handsome piece of Jugton pottery, the second prize was a box of handmade handker- chiefs; and the cut prize was pair of silk hose. The prize for low score was an attractive case of perfume bot ties made to represent nah jong tiles and arranged in decorative Chinese box. The success of this affair is large- ly due to Miss Ella Frances Beale, who was chairman of the committee, and to Mrs. Edwin Faulkner, president of the club.
 This organization of business women is most active and interested in civic affairs. They recently purchased Pilot lodge, an attractive camp at Grandview where girls of the city can arrange enjoyable and inexpensive vacations. The members of the club send number of girls who would otherwise be unable to procure a rest there on vacations every summer. With the aid of Mir. F. J. Cramton, they built an excellent swimming pool, which is quite an addi- tion to the lodge.
 The funds derived from the benefit bridge Saturday afternoon will be used to refurnish and improve Pilot lodge next summer.
