TWO PROJECTS
Win APPROVAL

Official city approval was con-
ferred by the council Monday on
two civic projects-one the rails
ing of funds to bring the national
convention of VIE Disabled Amer
leans of the World War to Tacoma
next year, the other raising of
funds to send Tacoma Junior Mu-
sicians to the San Francisco fair
in June.
Lloyd Ireland, state commander
of the D. A. V. told the council
a check for $4,000 must be pre-
scented at the 1889 convention in
Boston in late July if Tacoma is
to land the national convention of
1910. He said a corporation would
be organized among business men
here to raise the required funds,
and to handle disbursements.
For the Tacoma Junior Music
ians' band and orchestra, Fred S.
Lambert and Alexander Melovid-
off, their conductor, spoke. They
said the youngsters should bring
much publicity and credit to Ia
coma.

new CLIPPER
CROSSES OCEAN

HORTA, Azores Pan American
Always Alton Yankee Clipper
landed in Horta Harbor at 7:07
a. m, (CST) today, completing a
$3.50 miles over-water hop from
Baltimore in II hours and SO
minutes.
Carrying 81 passengers, the
huge flying boat swept grace
fully down TO the smooth
waters of the hay almost ex-
actly on schedule after an I'M
cventful flight from Baltimore
on the first leg OF its maiden
transatlantic cruise.
Under command of Capt. Harold
f. Gray, veteran transatlantic
pilot, the big plane came in
swiftly from the west. The clipper
made its first landfall at $40 a.
m.-17 hours and six minutes out
of Baltimore-and winged directly
into the harbor.
The ship took off from Balti-
more at 1884 a. M, (PST) yester-
day on the ESQ mile hop to the
Azores-first stop in a 10000 mile
shake down" cruise.
Most of the trip was made at
an altitude of between 5000
and 1000 feet and at a speed
of approximately 165 miles per
hour.
Powered by four huge motors,
the big seaplane carried $500 gal
Ions of gasoline, crew of II and

Posture Hints

Correct posture never has been
more important than 1t is this sea-
son. You simply won't look your
best in fresh. feminine, school girl
dresses and suits If your stomach
and hips protrude, chest caves in
instead of out, or If you carry your
head forward so that il always ar
rives Just before your body does.
Step number one in the right
direction toward achieving fig
ure which will set off your new
clothes to best advantage is to
eliminate the exaggerated hollow
in the center of your backbone.
II your spinal column is almost
straight, your hips will seem
inches smaller than they actually
are and your stomach will be
perfectly flat. That is, unless you
are overweight. in which case re-
ducing as well as posture exer-
cises are in order.
Once you have Strengthened
your backbone. pulled your stom-
ach up and in, raise your chest.
New, ultra feminine frocks just
aren't flattering to the hollow
chested
+ Elevation of the chest is best
accomplished by pulling your torso
up away from hipbones at the
same time you are pulling stomach
up and in. Place hands on hips
and press downward as you lift the
upper half Of your body upward
Notice that waistline seems smaller
as chest is raised. This is inn
portant. too. The smartest fash
ions emphasize the waistline.
/ Do limbering and stretching ex-
ercises to relax leg muscles and
make them supple. Learn TO walk
gracefully with legs swinging from
the hips. No full, swirling skirt is
going to be becoming TO one who
doesn't walk in it youthfully.

Washable Papers Suit Hard
Usage Rooms

The kitchen, bathroom, nursery
and recreation room are those
where practically III wall decora-
ton is of paramount Importance.
Strong, washable papers or wall
linoleums are materials best suited.
Fortunately, one need not sacrifice
beauty of service. New patterns
in these wall coverings are de-
signed with as much eye to beauty,
color and suitability as for the
most elaborate drawing room.

) Favoring it was Washington
Commonwealth Federation Chief
Howard Costigan. but the appoint
ment was branded as anathema TO
organized labor by Dave Beck,
west coast head of the teamsters
union.
The $500 job of collector here
covers the responsibility for col
lection of around S35, 900, 600 a
year in internal revenue from
Washington and the territory of
Alaska. Since the advent of the
Democratic administration in 1882,
it has been held by two men. John
c. Bowen of Seattle. who was APP
pointed a federal district judge,
and Alex Nick. Vierhus of Ever
EFT, who died in July. 1886, after
an eight-month illness.
Henricksen on job
Since the death of Vierhus adj
ministration of the office has been
in the hands of Thor W. Henrick-
sen, assistant collector since 1893.
Henricksen took over full respon-
sibility when Vierhus first became
i'll and was made acting collector
in July, 1886, by the secretary of
the treasury.
In charge approximately three
years and four months, Henrick-
sens permanent appointment had
been expected by many.
Democratic forces, including the
Pierce county club and central
committee, have been urging con-
stantly that the vacancy be filled,
At the recent legislative session,
sections of the party united in a
resolution endorsing Sen. Kyle for
the job.
Resentment Sure
Teamster Chief Beck, in his
protests, stated that Kyle's APP
pointment would cause resentment
and "hopelessly divide the Demo-
cratic party in the state" and
limited that, if it were made, 1.-THE
Democratic party can forget our
support in the next campaign
w. c. F. Executive Secretary
Costigan said Kyle had been elect
ed King county Democratic chair
man last year with full labor sup
port and that he had been unaware
of rift between Kyle and Beck.
