CHIEF, TAC0MAN
TRADE WALL0PS

SUMNER-Chief of Police Mort

eye and minor decorations after a
hand-to-hand battle today with
Laurel Macumber, 90, of Tacoma.
who also bears some marks.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, according
to Chief Wynn, car sped through
Sumner streets at crazy speed
and Wynn set out in pursuit.
Out on Sumner-Buckley high
way a couple of miles. Wynn over
took Macumber, forced him to stop,
and placed him under arrest.
But the arrest wasn't as simple
as that. Macumber resisted and
Wynn went to work. He was hav-
ing rough going, however, when
John Lucinski, of Buckley, en- route
to work in Tacoma, joined with a
truck driver, also a passer-by, to
aid the law.
The three men finally got Ma
cumber trussed up with strong
cords, loaded him into the chiefs
car and, with Lucinsky in the back
seat. proceeded to Sumner Jail.
Chief Wynn said he was grateful
for the help of Lucinsh and the
truck driver, whoever he was.
Macumber's relatives in Tacoma
were notified. Wynn said it had
not yet been decided what charges
would be placed against Macumber.

MILLIONS BOND
SALE STOPPED

The mayor of Millions stormy
administration struck a new snag
Saturday. Two of his citizens, rep
resented by Attorney Bertil E.
Johnson, obtained a temporary re-
straining order against Mayor
Kenneth Simmons and all his coun-
Gil and officials to stop an at
tempted sale of $4,000 in revenue
bonds, to finance an electric dis
tribution system.
In a special election June 30
last year, the voters of the little
suburban town did authorize sale
of $4,000 in bonds for the system
But since then Simmons and coun-
ell passed an ordinance to sell
$4,000. and, according to the
petition for the injunction, already
have gone ahead and started pur-
chase of materials without budget
ing or further authorization.
Superior Judge Robert E. Evans
granted temporary order against
Mayor Simmons, Councilmen Percy
Walden, Charles T. Fincher, Henry
Meade, A. Meyers, and A. Gall
man, Clerk Gordon Hopkins, and
Treasurer Lillian Smith.

Modern men who expect TO pay

an sntipsthy to marriage found IN
sophisticated circles.
Many intelligent women know

Armed with that knowledge and

1s-THE WOMAN IN
THE COURTSHIP

The modern woman has q most
difficult role to play during court
ship. She has few of the old
fashioned illusions about life. In
many cases she has seriously
studied the elements of sexual
psychology. She is self-conscious
because Of growing tendency to-
ward equality Of the sexes. She
finds herself not quite equal, but
out Of the protection of the laven-
der and old lace school.
The womans role in courtship
is changing.
Often she Is torn between frank
honesty in her relationships with
men and the subtle practices that
that have proved best in hooking
the wary male.
Already the method of court
ship approach has developed from
tribal attack, purchase or tribal
conquest as in early days. to a
mutually agreeable petting period
leading to a contract on equal
terms. There is evidence that the
changing tactics of mating will
lead to an even better chance for
a woman to secure equal happi-
ness with her mate.
The courtship tactics of Vic
torian days gave woman a
brief period of ecstacy, then LET

TO prevent a spread Of typhoid
fever which has stricken So per-
sons since May 81.
DR.. L. f. Powers, county health

the source. All Of the cases so far
reported were among grade and
high school pupils. One teacher
was Ill and no deaths were re-
ported.
DR.. Powers added there had been
no spread Of the fever from case

being sent by the Red Cross from
San Francisco, he said the II
nurses he had working with him
were ample. He said his principal
job was to isolate the cases which
developed and to inoculate those
exposed. He added very few cases
were serious.
DR.. X. NJ. Soderstrom said the
typhoid could have resulted from
any of three sources. namely.

CITY GAINS IN GAS
TAX APPORTIONMENT

City of Tacoma's April allot-
ment of state highway gas tax
funds amounted to s,94355, city
officials were notified by the state
highway department Saturday.
This sum, according to Works
Commissioner Bergersen, is about
5000 more than the city usually
got monthly from the state gas
oline tax revenues under the old
law.
Formerly, the city received its
allotments based on per capita
population; now the apportionment
under the 1889 law is based on
the city's population in its per-
centage relationship to the popu-
lation of other cities in the state.

this woman.

PROFESSIONAL

AMATEUR OR PROFESSIONAL
Dear Mrs. Post: We are having
a well-known musician at dinner.
along with members of the COM
mittee in charge of the musical
evening and officers Of the or
ganization sponsoring the event.
Shall we ask the musician TO sing
while he is a guest in our house ?
We feel that not to ask him may
be taking his talents too sighting
~ and, on the other hand, asking
him may be presumptuous thing
for US to do. Will you advise US
about this.
Answer: Never under any cir
cumstsnces may hostess invite a
professional musician TO her house
socially and then ask him to sing
or play, because 1t is often diff
cult for the artist to refuse with
out seeming to be rude. On the
other hand. It is courteous to in
vite an amateur to play. The
reason for this difference in rule
Is, I think, obvious. In the first
place, you are asking the profess
sional TO give for nothing some
thing of monetary value, which is
certainly unfair. In the second
case. you are showing an amateur
that you think his talent will
please his fellow guests, which is
perfectly fair since every enthusi-
astic listener helps build his repu-
tation without taking anything
from his earnings-since he has
none.

SIGNING CARDS

Dear Mrs. Post: Is my face red :?
Sometimes it is, when I read in
your column that something have
done Is tabu. ! do not question
your authority and reasoning ex-
cept in this one instance. l am
teacher and have occasion to
send birthday cards and get-well
cards and other greetings to my
pupils. I have always signed these
cards Mrs. John Smith" because
I have reasoned that IL I signed
myself Mary Smith" the children
might not know who sent the card,
or in some cases they might not
know enough not call me by my
first name after receiving this card
signed Mary" But you say that
1t is unforgivable to sign a note
or card or letter to a social equal
with the title as part of the sigma
ture. What would you suggest In
this situation?
Answer: Ny advice is not to
sign the cards but to include your
namc as part of each message
written in the third person. this
way: ITO Johnny Jones Tor Mary
Mapes) with Mrs. Smiths best
wishes" or greetings, or love, oil
whatever you want to write. Or
another way would be, with Mrs
Smiths love and best wishes to
Mary" So long as you do not
write your full name with title az
part Of the signature it is quite
all right.
VISITING A MANS FAMILY
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny daughter
met a young man last summer
who has come from his college tc
see her several times during the
winter. They apparently like each
other very much. His mother has
now written and invited her tt
visit them over a certain weekend
and to go with the son to ar
important dance. As it happens
my husbands sister lives in thi!
other town, and since she hal
long been inviting our daughter t.
visit her, ! do think 1t would b
better for her to stay with he
aunt than with this strange fam
ily.. Please tell me what yo'
think she should do.
Answer: Since this mans moth
err has written her. it is entirel,
proper that she 60 to stay witt
this family-if you approve OF tn
man. On the other hand. If yo'
believe that your own relatives vii
feel hurt II she does not stay witt
them. or II you prefer to have he
stay with your own family. you
daughter can explain when sh

since her Aunt Mary has long beef
