Sheriff Bjorklund he broke INTO
two valley homes during last
December. was at liberty Wednes-
day following his release from
Pierce county jail by Deputy
Prosecutor Bill Goodwin.
The youth is said to have ad-

taking two rifles, a revolver, two
hunting knives, box of shells and
hiding them near the home of a
relative at Ravensdale.
Goodwin said he decided not to
prosecute after restitution was
made and because of the youthful

Holmes, however. was warned 10

KIWANIANS HEAR
TALK ON BRIDGE

In three outstanding ways the
Tacoma Narrows bridge is attract
ing the admiration Of engineers
the world over. according to State
Bridge Engineer Clark II. Eldridge
who addressed the Tacoma Kiwanis
club Tuesday at the Hotel Win
throp.
Most striking feature Of the
bridge, he said. is its narrowness.
Where the Golden Gate bridge is
90 feet wide, about one 45th Of
its span, the Narrows bridge will
be only 80 feet wide. or one I'D
of its span. Refinement Of bridge
engineering in the past few years
makes possible such narrow con-
struction possible, Eldridge said.
Extreme depth Of the water in
which the piers are being sunk is
another outstanding feature. Plen-
ty of deep piers have been built,
Eldridge said, but always in rela-
lively shallow water, most of the
piers having been sunk in deep
mud. The Narrows bridge piers
will go down l20 feet before they
strike bottom and then so feet
farther into the bottom.
Third remarkable thing about
the bridge is the time in which
it is being built, he told the XII
wanians. Where n job Of its mag
nitude ordinarily would take three
years at least, the law requires
this one to be complete in a year
and a half.
SO flexible will the bridge be
when finished. Eldridge said, that
the road bed will be able to rise
and fall over distance of Ia feet
in temperature changes and 20
feet of sideswing will be possible
in high winds.

Action Against
Park Board

Back of a suit pending in SUI

revenues about $4,000 year. Of

The suit recently filed against
the board by Ingbret Tufte is a
friendly one calculated TO settle
the question OF whether the beard
can legally lease its property for
such a purpose. they said.
Close 10 Legal Debt
Notwithstanding the extra mill
age granted the park district by
the last legislature. II was ex-
planned. the district is and will
continue TO be close TO its legal
debt limit for possibly years to
come.
On the north end Of the Titlow
beach frontage on Puget Sound Is
an area containing about 40 build
ing sites. supposing they should
be used for such purpose. The
appraisal committee Of the Ia
coma Real Estate Board deter
mined this property should pro-

leases.
Expense Increases

Atwood has not been popular

he would not let the association
run the educational program. as

Abyssinia, Italy would have been
forced to yield. There would have
been no war;" Mrs. Morgan de-
clared, "as without oil Italy would
have been unable to carry on a
war"
To-day" she continued, Japan
Is getting IS per cent of her oil and
81 per cent Of other supplies from
the United States, with which she
Is carrying on the war against
China. If the United States alone
stopped her supply of oil to Japan
1t would prevent Japan from carry

end to the invasion Of China in six

To end the invasion in China,
Mrs. Morgan asserted. we should
either refuse Japan the materials
which makes war possible or refuse
to buy her goods, through which she
secures the cash to buy materials
from other countries"

Of international treaties, declared
Mrs. Laura Puf1er Morgan, chair
man Of the American Interorgan-

luncheon Of the Woman's National

Mrs. Morgan, who has recently

said that because Of catch words

failed to adopt a really adequate
foreign policy.
If you make any constructive

Mrs. Morgan contended that q

buy from aggressor nations would
soon bring international depreda-

the offending nations of today as
Germany. Italy and Japan, Mrs.

Dakota Choir
Excellent
In Recital
Augustana College
Singers Gifted and
Well Trained
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Some extraordinary a cappella
singing was presented last evening
to the large audience gathered in
the Luther Place Memorial Church
by the Augustana College Choir of
Sioux Falls, S. Oak. Directed by
Carl r. Youngdahl, the choir is
made up of some so young men and
women who are excellently trained
in part singing without accompani-
ment. The program last evening
was entirely sacred in character
culled from various sources and
much of it arranged for the choir S
use by the director.
Two points regarding this group
are especially to be remarked, the
fine matching of voices and the
sureness Of the musicianship of
these young singers. The combined
tonal quality is like that of a
mellow organ handled with poetic
discretion yet the singing is ex-
tremely flexible in the easy ebb and
flow of sound. Some of the num-
bers taxed the perfect trueness of
intonation for the difficult passages
and herein the musicianship of the
group came to the fore with impress
sive results. The entire effect was
devotional in the extreme, yet never
heavy or sought out to that end.
While there was no attempt at a
chronological order in the choice
of selection, they fitted well to-
gether with the additional advan-
tage of contrasting style and mood.
Opening the program with THE
Lords Prayer" from the Ukranian
Church service and following it with
Luther's "A Mighty Fortress" sung
with great elasticity, the next
number was very lovely "Bene-
dictus," by Paladilhe, wherein solo
voices stood out against a softly
intoned background.
An especially interesting work
was Bruckner's % Lord Most Holy"
written in noble style. Quite un-
usual in its choral harmonies was
Griegs How Fair Is Thy Face
an intricate work sung with the
greatest ease and beauty of spirit
Also carrying unique tonal effects
was Christiansen's Beauty in HUI
mility," splendid number for a
choir Of this caliber. Two compost
tions by Mr.. Youngdahl of con-
trasting character were the high
lights OF the program. His ex-
quisite "A Christmas Lullaby" in
which solo soprano voice was in
troduced, is fine writing, reverent
and poetical in the treatment of
the subject. In Jerusalem Road"
the basses announce the theme
which they keep repeating as a
background into which is harmoni-
cally merged the succeeding stanzas
sung by the rest of the chorus. The
modulations and intricacy Of the
parts were difficult but the chorus
sang 1t with the same assurance
accuracy and colorful blending that
marked all their singing. 1t is a
significant work with novel effect
that resolves into a joyful climax
Other numbers on the program
were the charming Der Geist hilft
unsrer Schwachheit auf." by Bach;
Johann Cruger's fine Deck Thy
self" Sandstrom's "Jeg we'd en- vei'
and Nico!ai's Wake, Awake" In
fact it would be impossible to make
selection of a favorite, so choice
and well presented was each one.
1t was a pity that, no applause
being permitted, there were no
encores, for several could have been
heard again with relish.
