And He Stakes a Claim
Fate Gives a Kick; Then

TN OCTOBER. 1852. Ezra
L Meeker left his wife and baby
in a boarding house in Portland
and with his brother Oliver
started to look for work. Be
tween them they had So. They
had the same stock with which
they had left Iowa Except one
cow which the Indians stole,
but there was no market for
the animals except at a sacri-
flee price. Meeker wanted to
save them for the farm he and
Eliza had pictured in this prom
ised land.
Determined TO take the first
job that offered, Meeker went
down TO the waterfront and ap-
piled for a job on a sailing YES
sci that was dischsrging
cargo of merchandise and would
load for return trip. The
mate first told him he wouldn't
do and then for no apparent
reason changed his mind. He
told Meeker to go into the cabin
and get some breakfast first.
He didn't look like a man who
could do that heavy work.
Meeker thought his financial
troubles were ended. When he
returned TO the boarding house
the third night the proprietor
told him that he would have to
have some money to pay his
landlord.
Fearing that if he asked for
money before the end of the
week he hesitated to tell his
troubles to the mate, but final
ly did so. He was sent to the
captain. who was so moved by
his story that he advanced
more money than Meeker
asked, gave him a bottle of
wine for the "missus" and in
vited them to have dinner with
him as soon as Mrs. Meeker
was well enough. That was the
beginning Of a sincere friend
ship.
Meeker had developed into a
good stevedore when he re-
ceived a message from Oliver
who had been prospecting on
his own hook. San Francisco
shipping men who were dis
pleased with the shipping IA
cilities at Portland were going
to start a new metropolis at
st. Helens. They wanted some
body to run boarding house
for the crew of dock builders.
Oliver took the job and sent
for Ezra to help him. He as
sured him that st. Helens was
going to be the place"
At that time it looked as il

CoMMENDs CHANGE IN
u. s. FOREIGN POLICY

Editor. The Times: To those
who have been working so des-
perately and courageously for
peace. peace based not on the
hypothesis that force and might
make right. but on the principle
OF international mortality and
the right of individual nations
to retain their sovereign indie
pendence against aggression.
the abrogation of the 1911 Trade
Treaty with Japan is indeed sig
nificant and indicative of a per-
tinent change in American for
eign policy.
Future historians will brand
our generation as one OF the
most shameful and benighted in
the annals of mankind. They
will record the sacrifice Of Man
churis, Ethiopia, Austria. Al
banis, Czechoslovskia and Spain
to the appetite Of the fascist
powers. What will be the end
Of the tragic story Time alone
will tell. For two years the
Chinese people have fought on
their own soil against an enemy

another strategy. Whereas they

ways done. For 20 years. the
improvement clubs have taken

the recent jubilee celebration,
and new spirit of cooperation
created, Tacoma is ready to do
things.
Improvement clubs arc not
represented by any other or

in everything good for the city

ETHEL. MILDRED HEAD PARADE

Those two grand singers, Ethel
Waters and Mildred Bailey, share
top honors of he week for record
ed performances. Miss Waters,
whose voices has lost none of its
haunting appeal with the years,
introduces on Bluebird a new dance
called PUSH OUT with a catchy
tune and Harlem phrases. BREAD
AND GRAVY, the coupling, is a
slow and lazy Hoagy Carmichael
composition that you'll insist on
rearing over and over. Eddie NAL
loiy lends effective accompan1-
ment.
Backed by John Kirby's boys,
Miss Bailey turns GHOST OF A
CHANCE into a slow dream of a
torch song for Vocation and then
aims the full power of her rhythm

built up to follow Count Basie's
