Ordinary things. matches are.

knowing how necessary matches
are to us today. it's difficult to
understand how people ever got
along without them. II was quite

can manage TO make fire by those
primitive methods, but we frankly
confess we cant - because we've
tried
We people OF Tacoma have more
reasons than have most for being
thankful for matches for we make
them right here at home. We are
doubly blessed because many ~
our people find employment in the
large modern factory Of the Pacific
Match company, where Tacoma
matches are made.
OF course. not all tho matches
that are made here are used In
Tacoma that would be impossible.
Millions upon millions OF Tacoma
made matches are shipped ell over
the United States and 20 foreign
countries each year Stop and con-

Kredyuefawns Are
Feted By Dinner
By Eunis Mott

To mark the clubs last social
for 1888. Mrs. Daizye Lee Warrick
entertained members and friends
of Klub Kredyuefawn at her home
last Wednesday evening. Mrs. Lu-
la Gragg, advisor to the club, pre-
sented the hostess with an electric
toaster. Other members, also, gave
ideal household gifts. After the
program chairman, Eunis Mott,
had led the group in games, Mrs.
Warrick served a buffet supper.
Reluctant to leave the good time,
the hostess continued them by con-
Meeting one of her radios in the
spacious kitchen where the Utter
bugs" didn't interfere with the con-
versationalists in the living room.
The boys and girls paved their re-
spects to Daizye Lee after Count
Bassie signed off at eleven-fifteen.

When American village house
renting family sends the monthly
check to the landlord, it is likely
to be for some amount between
$40 and $40. Average rent paid
by Negro families We're less than
half as much as the cheapest rents
of any of the white village groups
studied, as shown in an analysis
of rental expenditures of 1886 ma
tive Negro families living in Is
Georgia and South Carolina viii
lagos and in 10 North Carolina and
Mississippi villages. From 43 to
SO per cent of these Negro farnil-
les obtained living quarters for
payments of less than SIS monthly;
and from 95 to 81 per cent paid
less than $40.

MANY of the American song
1y1 writers of this era began their
careers as interpreters of song, as
singing walters or vaudeville ar
fists. The composer of "Shine On
Harvest Moon," native of Philadel-
phia, began as blackface artist.
He wrote his own songs and patter,
and developed both talents until
the Hateful day when with Nora
Bayes he sang his most famous
song in tie Ziegfeld Follies. The
ovation to the song rather than to
the male singer sent him over the
borderline from acting to song
writing. He wrote London revue,
whose premier was marked by a
Zeppelin raid. Our composer then
went back to America, trouped with
a vaudeville skit, married his plan
list and made series of short films
in Hollywood in the pre-double fea-
ture days.
The early song hit was picked
up recently by little orchestra in
Texas, where Ruth Fitting heard it
and gave it added lustre in later
renditions, and so, after twenty
years the song again became a hit.
During the years the composer
wrote many other numbers, includ-
ing "Smarty", Good Evening Caro-
line, the lyrics to Take Me Out
To The Ball Game"-enough to
earn him membership in the Amer
lean Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers.
His name is

freshments typical of the seasn
were generously served.
The ladies' cocktail lounge has
become one of the choicest and
most frequented spots in the
building; it was the scene of the
popular Chanticleer Bridge Clubs
Christmas party which held sway
Thursday afternoon when 20 play
ers enjoyed an enthusiastic game.
The ladies were beautifully attired
many wearing seasonable gift cor
sages. The invitations and tally
cards bore the emblem of the
choice name of the club. Egg-nog
and fruit cake were generously
served and heartily enjoyed.
Throughout the entire holiday
individuals and groups found the
facilities of the Fraternal Hall, in
GLIDING the dining room and mems
club downstairs, the dance hall,
main lounge, and ladies' cocktail
lounge on the second floor a rem
devious for the pleasure seeker.
The Red Caps second annual
New Years dance and mammoth
floor show was fitting climax
as the hundreds of celebrants an
ticipated this gala affair. Clyde
Brennon's Swing Band furnished
the music, Prof. Leroy Spicer di-
rected the floor show and acted as
floor manager, Mrs. Elise Reynolds
presided at the punch bowl. A
record attendance of nearly 400
put floor space at premium es-
pecially for the choice waltzes,
but the famous litter Bug and
other popular steps held sway.
Beautiful indeed were many of the
vari-colored semi and formal cock
tail and evening gowns worn by
the feminine guests, however many
were ultra-smart in more conser-
vative attire. The gentlemen fol-
lowed the informal trend.
The floor show was presented
by the "One and Only Prof. Lee
Roy Spicer, as he announced Miss
Pearl Grant "Bugle Call Rag" and
dance routine; Miss Bethel Gibson
sang Pennies from Heaven" Mr..
Herman Valley of the Harlem
Maniac, did a Tap Dance number;
Miss Lillian Thomas captivated the
mass audience when she sang $50
Help Me-; concluding the floor
show was a dance number and
song Shine" done by Happy
Pierce.
The hall was beautifully decor
ated for the occasion. In the CEN
ter of the cooling was a huge
canopy. At IL o'clock as the loud
shouts of Happy New Year rang
out Mr.. Ivey detached the canopy
and numerous colored balloons
were let loose in the mass crowd.
Horns, whistles, hats, caps and
every fun making gadget possible
had been provided for the guest.
The newly organized Ladies Aux

ted the men in receiving and talk

New Navy Cruisers
'qlIoMIoN Yoef

Announcing the advertisement of
bids on two new cruisers two
weeks ago, the Navy Department
disclosed that the vessels would be
of 5000 tons displacement and well
fitted for use in patroling sea
lanes. Although the vessels will
be lighter and faster, officials said
there would be no great armament
reduction. The striking power will
be practically as great as that of
the larger 10,000-ton class. Lin
tied to 5000 tons in cruisers by the
Washir gton Treaty, the Navy De-
partment felt that it would be
more advantageous to build more
of the 5000 ton type than a lesser
number of the larger type, parti-
cularly since the needs of the fleet
come more nearly being filled in
the large cruiser category than in
any other.
