Federated Clubs
Entertain Graduates

Tuesday night at the Tacoma Com
munity House on l. Street the City
Federation of Women's Clubs enter
tanned graduates of Stadium High
School, Miss Oscar May Arnett,
Hugh Annette, Miss Frances Barbee
and James Beck, together with their
parents and many friends who were
invited guests.
The program consisted of a talk
by Mrs. H. j. Asberry, who presides
over the state body, in which she
lauded the young people for their
earnest effort to make a showing
and congratulated them and their
parents upon their success thus far.
She was followed by Mrs. A. McBeth,
president of the city federation of
five clubs, the Book Lovers, the Pro-
gressive Mothers, the Independent
Mothers, the Rhododendron and L.
Allegro, which are presided over by
Mrs. Asberry, Mrs. +. M. Hollowell,
Mrs. J. Buck, Mrs. A. McBeth and
Miss Ruth Beck, respective presi-
dents. There was disappointment at
the absence without notice of the
two young ladies who are being as
sisted by the women's clubs and who
were expected to grace the occasion
by their presence. Mrs. w. H. Ham,
ilton was chairman of the educational
department. Rev. Mr. and Mrs.
Frederic C. Thompson, managers of
the Tacoma Community House, on
behalf of the A. M. Z. Church, de-
serve the hearty gratitude and thanks
of all for the generous permission to
use the place for the occasion with
out charge.
The Tacoma editor wishes to say
that the program which the federat-
ed clubs are set to carry out deserve
the fullest commentator and sup
port of the people of Tacoma. We
hope the good work will thrive and
prosper.

TAXATION FALLS ON ALL

Showing how the burden OF taxa
ton falls upon everyone, rich and
poor alike, Professor William b.
Munro, Chairman of the Division OF
History, Government and Econom-
les, at Harvard, says:
Everybody who pays rent pays
taxes. The landlord is merely a
middleman who collects the taxes
from his tenants and passes the
lump sum to the city collector.
Everybody who buys merchan-
dice pays taxes. The retail meT-
chant passes his burden along 10 his
customers in the price OF goo ~. ST
with every one who travels on Il
street car, or goes to the theater, or
smokes a cigar. They all pay taxes
whether they realize it or not.
when the gas company or tele.
phone company raises its rates, ever
slightly, there is great hue and
cry, with meetings OF protest and
fiery speeches Every householder
realizes who's who when it comes to
paying gas or telephone bills. But
when the city tax rate goes up, ii
leaves the great masses unmoved.
THAT is why we have SO much ex
travagance in government. People
condone this extravaganza because
they feel that their own pocketbooks
are not affected by it in any way.
| Extravaganza and waste bear
more heavily upon the poor than or
the rich If we can drive into the
public mind this single, simple eco,
nomic fact we shall make democracy
compatible with economy and we
can accomplish it in no other way

Killer Whale Hes No
Equcl for Eeroc:ty

The killer whale is the undisputed
champion of the sea, declares Mack
Sennett, who, as hobby, has made an
exhaustive study of marine life in
Lower California seas IF there is
anything that can lick the killer whale,
| have never heard Of it," Sennett
says. Everything that swims the
waters of the earth breads the tern
ble killer whale.
Strictly speaking" the writer ex
plains, sit isn't a fish; it is an air
breathing mammal about 80 feet long
1t has huge jaws and heavy fighting
teeth Its head suggests the head of
a bulldog, as does its disposition
What makes it more terrible than
other big sea monsters is it's great
speed Nothing can escape it.
"The favorite dish of the killer whale
is the succulent tongue of the real
whale" the writer continues. "Its
method of killing the whale is curious.
When the big fellow comes up to
breathe, the killer fastens its jaws on
the whales blowhole and does not let
go. Finally, dying Of suffocation, the
whale thrusts out its great, agonized
tongue. The killer nips this off and
goes hlithely on its way. 1t is a com.
mon sight to find tongueless dead
whale floating In the water"

Cancer Research

Studying the light given off by ash
Of tumors burned in an arc light is
the latest method of attacking the
cancer problem, one which has been
applied at the Hahnemann Medical
college in Philadelphia by a trio OF
biologists and a physicist. Donald c.
A. Butts, Thomas E. Huff and Freder-
lex Palmer, .Ir. By means of a spec
troscope. which analyses the light and
reveals the elements that cause it,
they have found that the yellow lines
due to sodium. which appear only
momentarily when the ash of normal
animal tissue is placed in the arc
persist until it has all been consumed
when the ash from tumors is analysed.
This shows the presence of the ele-
ment sodium in cancerous tissue.
