the situation. It elected Mr.. Will
son because Of his pledge to
work toward putting the Port
properties on a self-supporting
basis, thus relieving the burden
of the taxpayers.
Here is the result of his
pledge:
For the three-year period of
1888, 1884 and 1885, the total
amount asked by the Port Board
from the taxpayers is $501 ,022.
That is a reduction of $3.50,
975, as compared to the preced-
ing three-year period.
In brief, during Mr.. Wilson's
term the taxpayers Port burden
has been more than cut in two.
That is a long step forward
in his efforts to get the Port
properties on a self-sustaining
basis. All of those who support
ed him in 1892 hoped he would
be able to make substantial
Roadway in reducing their tax
burden. Few expected that the
burden would be cut in two in
such a short time. On that
pledge Mr.. Wilson has kept
faith with the people.
He fought against and defeat
ed the plan to build SITE, 900.
ocean terminal on the Ports
Connecticut Street property and
he also fought against and de-
feated the proposed purchase of
additional waterfrontage at a
cost of $1,125,000
I'VE had no use for That pro-
perty at that time," he said re-
Gently, /" and we still haze no
use for it."
In 1888 Mr.. Wilson took to
the State Legislature the Incid-
entail Expense Fund measure
and succeeded in having it en-
acted into law by the Legisla-
ture. The operation of this law
resulted last spring in disclos-
ing that two veteran and trust
ed employees of the Port had
stolen large amounts from the
incidental expense fund.
Mr.. Wilson'S position now, as
in 1882, is that new facilities
should be built only when war
ranted by business.
when the business warrants
new terminals which can be put
into remunerative service, and
then only should they be built, "
he said this week. Make no
mistake; Seattle will progress
and grow and in time more fa-
cilities will be needed. l earn
estly believe that eventually the
public should own the entire
waterfront, but there is right
time and a wrong time for steps
in that direction. The right time
is when such a step is required
by business and the service viii
be remunerative to the Port. In
the meantime the job on hand
is to work toward getting the
Port off the tax rolls"

Is rather stubborn so that 1t may be

corrected. Do not forget that consti-

If your hair is thick, have it thinned
out and bobbed short, so that 1t Will
be easier to handle. II such a hair

or some extra hair pieces until your
scalp Is healthy again. Then allow
your hair to grow to the desired

Instructive
Taste Puts
Diner Right
Test of Gratitude in
Case of Invaluable
Aid Extended.
BY EMILY POST.

"nEAR MRS. POST: What can
one do II forced to blow ones
nose ut table? I was dining with
rather formal friends the other day,
and was very much embarrassed in
having to blow my nose during dinner,
because ! know how repulsive this
habit in other people Is to me-"
Answer-The real answer to your
question Is not to dine out while you
still have . cold. But If you have to
sit ut table with friends or family,
when you are likely to have to clear
your nose, blow 1t before you 60 to
the table and try your best not to
into your handkerchief" But If 1t
becomes absolutely necessary to blow
your nose, then there is nothing to do
but to put your head down and muffle
the sound in your handkerchief as
completely as you can, and blow as
quickly as possible land as thoroughly
to get 1t over with.
This Is one occasion, by the way,
when 1t Is usually best not to apologize
because apology only serves to attract
attention to what otherwise might not
be consciously noticed. If you sud-
denly are obliged to blow your nose,
or cough, or sneeze, the only thing
to do Is to stop 1t II you can, muffle
it if you can't, and don't say anything
about 1t unless some ones attention
Is unmistakably riveted upon you.
In this case say quickly, I'm very
sorry" or Excuse me-" But nine
times out Of 10 silence is best. For
example, time and again . radio
speaker coughs or gets a frog in his
throat Half the time 1t sounds like
static until he stops and attracts our
attention by begging our pardon.
There Is a very nice problem of m
stinctive taste in this question Of
when it is best to apologize and when
it Is best to keep still. One might
perhaps make 1t a rule to apologize
about whatever actually involves an
other, but not when the offense Is
personal to ourselves alone and the
apology will merely serve to call at
tention to mpleasantness.
Dear Mrs. Post: Our doctors wife
went to no end Of trouble to locate
her husband when our son was in
jured on the street the other day. I
feel that I should like to show her
some appreciation for this but what
could 7 do since don't know her at
all? Might she consider anything
presumptuous?"
Answer-H you haven't done 20,
you might tell her husband how
grateful you are and ask him to thank
her for you. Or If you are afraid to
trust your message to a busy mans
memory, by all means write her q
note Of thanks, yourself.

Of Chinese
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

THE old, wise Chinese poet said:
The first cup Of tea moistens
my lips and throat. The second cup
breaks my loneliness. The fourth
CUP raises q slight perspiration-all

am purifed, and the sixth cup
I am called to the realm Of i'm

So goes the preface Of q charming
little book sent to me by Americans
who have lived in China for many
years. It is 1oose-leaved, with o bril-
liant orange cover, tied together with
green silk, held by Chinese coins. In
it is q charming collection Of recipes
compiled by Nellie C. Wong, who has
evidently prepared them for the for
eign homes in China. The recipes are
American style Is far as measure
ments are concerned and all the IN
gradients can be obtained from the
Chinese grocers In New York. shall
share some Of them with my readers
who like the distinctive type Of Chi
nese food for which it has always
been dificult to get accurate recipes.
Almost all Chinese dishes are
cooked . very short time and for
this reason the natural flavor Of all
the vegetables, the bean sprouts and
water chestnuts, Is well preserved.
Because Of this they are also appro-
pirate for quick meals. You will like
the candied fruit and the almond rice
cakes which you may have for dessert.

The Old Gardener Says

For years garden-makers have
associated Summer squashes with
q crooked neck, and for years
nothing but a crooked-neck type
existed. Now. however, straight
necked Summer squashes are
coming into the market and bid
fair to supplant the older kinds.
Giant Summer straight neck is
q good variety. 1t Is well to re-
member that all squashes ere
rather tender and that seed must
not be sown until all danger Of
frost has passed, unless some pro-
lection can be given in the way
of boxes covered with glass over
the hills. Vegetable marrows are
very similar to Summer squashes,
but are not nearly so well known.
They are excellent for the home
garden, and a comparatively new
kind, called excelsior, Is especially
desirable, being creamy white in
color and having thick, finely
favored flesh.

T OIS could not wait to take of her

phoned Nancy. Guess our good luck.
We have a chance to get cottage near
the lake for the Summer. 1t has elec-
tric lights and a septic tank. The
walls have been newly covered with
wall board so they look fresh and
clean and in addition this treatment
will make the house cooler. 1 am so
thrilled can hardly believe it Is
true"
Nancy was almost as glad as Lois,
for Ann and John David had been
a care for their mother all through
the Winter. Out-of-doors. simple
living would do wonders for them all.
How soon do you go?" "Oh, not
for a month, but I am starting max
ing out my lists already. I wrote some
things down as came out from town.
You know what I am going to
do, Nancy? I am planning to buy
few staple groceries each time I
order my weekly supplies. Then I
will have many on hand and won't
have such a big bill when its time
to go out to the cottage"
Lois had lists galore before she
finished. Here are few of the things
she put down on her food list.
Salt that does not lump in damp
weather, small containers of white
pepper. paprika, dry mustard, nut
meg, cinnamon.
She stocked up with fruit gelatins
in all f1avors; she had some boxes of
each variety of favored junket.
She took few boxes of ready-to-
mix gingerbread and spice cake. She
ordered some prepared biscuit flour.
But this was done at the very last
before she left for the Summer. She
included box of cornstarch, granu-
lated tapioca. There were tins Of
sardines. salmon, shrimp and canned
soups. A box of unsweetened cocoa
was included. OF course she had
parafin paper, can openers, bottle
openers, salt and pepper shakers,
string, rubber bands, nails and a

Psychology
Memory.

THE mind of a human being may
be regarded as complex ma
chine shop. The machines are all
connected by transmission lines run
ming between and among them. The
connections run into the billions. for
the machines themselves number not
fewer than 10000, ,000, 600.
A central power plant, called menu
ory. furnishes the energy that keeps
this vastly complicated machine shop
going. 1t is thought by some that
this energy capacity is fixed at birth.
Hence your memory cannot be inn
proved. The vast differences in mem-
ory abilities, found among persons,
are due to the number of transmission
lines that come with the original
equipment. So runs one theory.
Somehow human beings are not
generally willing to accept this me-
chanical conception of mind. It
sounds too much like some sort of
fatalism. There never was and never
will be a time when most people
will not hold to the exercise theory.
At any rate, some one Is always
offering a new method for memory
training. Many of these so-called
memory-training schemes have failed.
1t seems that the mind is far too
complex to be explained by mere
theory.

Dorothy Dix Says
Women Are Responsible for Most
Divorces, Says Reader.

Its THE women who are re-
Is sponsible for most of the
broken homes and half
i orphaned children" said
man the other day. "The fact
that women are the petitioners in
three-fourths of the divorce cases
isn't just q gallant gesture on the
part Of men to give ladies what they
want, no matter whether it Is coming
to them or not. Neither does it mean
that men are less satisfactory as hus-
bands than women are as wives. 1t
simply means that woman will throw
a marriage into the junk pile just as
she would a piece of china that was
nicked or that she had gotten tired Of,
while man will go on making it
serve even II it has got little cracked
and he has sort of lost his taste for 1t.
Perhaps the reason fol this Is that
women have q more romantic ideal Of
husbands than husbands have Of
wives. Or 1t may be that women ex-
pect more Of marriage than men do.
Most likely 1t is because women have
less idea Of the binding nature Of
contract than men have, so they have
no compunctions about welching on
one II it doesn't come up to all their
fondest fancy painted. 1t is women
who return things to the bargain
counter II they decide that, after all,
they don't want 1t when they get 1t
home and give 1t the once over. But
man feels that he has to keep a
thing that he has bought unless he
has been cheated in the transaction.
A T ANY rate, wives won't stand
for the things in their husbands
that husbands meekly endure in their
wives. Thousands Of women, for in
stance, get divorces from their hus-
bands because they are not good pro-
viders, but you never hear Of man
getting a divorce from his wife be-
cause she isn't good housekeeper.
$50, II the matter were left to men,
there would not be many broken
homes. Having made their matri-
monial bargains, they would stick to
them. Marriage might not be all
they expected of it; we'll, neither did
that last batch Of stock they bought
go up the way they thought it would.
Susie hasn't turned out to be the pin

to let other peoples peculiarities get
