BRIGHT MOMENTS
I'M GREAT LIVES

During the reign of Madame
de Maintenon as virtual queen
Of France. the court possessed
a real character in Mademoiselle
de l'Enclos. one of the most no.
torious courtesans Of that period.
This woman had ready wit.
and was noted for her quick re-
torts. For some years Marshall
de Choisoul. a most virtuous
man and rather dull at every
thing but war. had paid homage
at her shrine. A slow talker.
slow on repartee and disliking
company. the marshal was q
thorn in Mademoiselle de I'm
clos side. One afternoon. as the
marshal was sitting beside her
saying little. keeping his COM
ments mostly to himself, the
lady jumped up angrily and ex-
claimed: ~oh. my lord. Marshall
how many virtues you make me
detest."

more than you can say for some
peoples.
And Gen. Barrows, before you
start killing. it might be a good
idea to wait until we get enough
Communists here so they can
cast ballot for their party or
something so you will know
whom to kill or you might find
yourself liquidating all those per-
sons who do not share your
ideas, under the guise of Com
munism, and that would take in
far too many Of this fair land.

IN an editorial captioned. The
L Back Door TO Prohibition.
a New York paper warns that
too much attention to regulation
Of the liquor business will bring
return of the horrible expert
enees under prohibition. The
argument was well written but
It's logic is punctured in an
analysis by Edward Laird Mills,
editor of the Pacific Christian
Advocate. DR.. Mills. who knows
both sides of the wet and dry
story. shows that not reasonable
regulation OF the liquor traffic
but the lack of 1t will bring
about another prohibition era.
There is history for DR.. Mills
assertion Prohibition came be-
cause the liquor business had no
sense. Part of the profits went
to buy immunity from regula-
ton and the business ran hog
wild. And now history Is re-
peating itself. The liquor busi-
ness, notwithstanding the pro-
hibition experience, seems not
to have learned its lesson. In
the Entertainments into the
residence districts and the re-
fusal to cooperate in the OBJ
servance of reasonable regula-
ton is another invitation to pro-
hibition.
A NONG the comments on the
"A changes that have taken
place between the time the
pioneers built q trail through
the woods on Pacific avenue and
the completion of the new con-
crete pavement that was opened
for traffic q few days ago.
James A. Sproule sends a brief
account Of the construction Of
the DeLin sawmill on Com
mencement bay in 1852. Tim
bers with which the mill was
built were cut out of the forest
where the new pavement inter-
seets jefferson avenue. Four
yoke OK teams hauled the tim
bers over the Pacific avenue
trail to the site of the mill at
the head of the bay.
Workmen who framed the
timbers lived in an Indian family
house" on the site now occupied
by Sproule's Cow Butter Store.
Two years after the mill
started, the loggers were still
working on Pacific avenue. 1t
was 25 years later before the
stumps left in the middle of the
street by DeLin's loggers were
removed.

What TO Do About Fort
Nisquelly
State Park Board May
Have the Answer
Looks Like Front Door
To Prohibition
When Or Teams Hauled
Logs on Pacific Avenue
Under the head of things
~ to be done is the finishing
of the Fort NisquaIly project
at Point Defiance park. Spon-
sored by the Young Mems Busi-
ness club with the blessing Of
the Washington State Historical
society. removal Of the old Hud-
sons Bay fort from Nisqually
and its reconstruction at Point
Defiance park was one Of the
first work-relief pro jects in
Pierce county. As far as re-
construction Is conc erned
splendid job has been done, but
the project will not be completed
until the factors house is fur
nished as II was on Nisqually
plain a hundred years ago and
the barn and farmyard provided
with the type of primitive equip
ment used by the Hudson's Bay
farmers in breaking the soil and
harvesting the first crops grown
in Pierce county. When that
il done, Fort Nisqually will be-
come a nucleus for a historical
shrine comparable to that ac-
cumulated by Henry Ford at
Fort Dearborn.
Members of the Daughters Of
Pioneers of Washington are
interested in completing the
project. Some furniture and
valuable relics are available but
before they can be placed there
it will be necessary to have a
caretaker. The park board
would be glad to provide the
caretaker but there is no money
in the budget for that purpose.
In the discussion of the prob
lem, it has been suggested that
the project be turned over to
the state authorities to be added
to the state park system. There
may be difficulties in the way
but so far that seems to be the
most feasible plan to make
historical shrine of a project
out of which grew the white
mans government in Pierce
county.

WOULD DIG UP PAST

Editor, The Times: Now that
Mr.. Mckinney has explained Ito
his own satisfaction) the inepti-
tude and failure of the Demo-
cratic party from 1888 to date,
perhaps he would be willing to
give an account of the glorious
record of the Republican party
from, let us say, November,
1929, to March, 1888. Most of
us would find 1t interesting

There has been a notable NH
grafton of European industrial
plants to the Dominion Of
Canada. Authorities estimate
that within the past year and a
half nearly 100 new factories
have been established there
ranging in size all the way from
the huge Bata shoe enterprise
which will employ about $500,
down TO small shops maintaining
only 20 or 80 hands.
Canadians at first resented the
invasion. Labor unions opposed
il. The French-speaking portion
of the population feared the i'm
migration would upset the bal
anee between the French and
other races. But the opposition,
it's reported, has largely broken
down in the face of the re-em-

the newcomers with considerable

must have technical competence
and knowledge of world markets.
They're allowed to bring over
with them minimum number
of technicians necessary to get
operations. under way. Beyond
that they're expected TO employ
Canadian workers. It's proving
a healthy stimulus to the Cana

There has been no comparable

SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 1889

StIh ~tf a't~
Benefic aspects rule today
after the early morning hours.
The CONFORMATION is favorable to
the guidance of the churches,
Campaigns to bring the people
into closer relations with re-
ligious organizations will multi
ply through the winter when
leader of great power will rise
among Protestants.
Love affairs come under
sinister direction today. There
may be serious differences of
opinion regarding life plans and
guiding ambitions. Many broken
pledges are indicated.
Summer romances may reach
a climax under this configura-
ton which brings out hidden inn
pulses and reveals secret faults.
Selfishness may be discerned IN
heroes and heroines of many a
moonlight outing.
The stars stimulate interest in
reading. Books on serious sub
jects. especially those devoted to
economies and finance, will be in
demand.
The evening is favorable to
recreations that appeal to mind
and heart. Music is subject to
promising planetary influences
that presage a great demand for
martial airs.
Women come under har-
monious influence of the stars
this evening. Many girls will
receive wise guidance concern
ing the best way to serve the
general good. Need of public
service will be emphasized be-
fore the year ends.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
have the augury of year OF
energetic work along ambitious
lines. Both men and women will
be active in practical ways.
Elders will be helpful.
Children born on this day
probably will be inclined to be
selfish in seeking to fulfill their
ideals. Many of these subjects
of Leo have Virgo traits for
they are on the cusp of Leo and
Virgo.

Brawley postponed a game this

One of the first things that
should be discussed at the next

schedules. Under the present
system no one is sure when VINO

The El Centre tennis club diree-

of a club house and one tennis
