more than a dozen murders in the

The word "Nazi" was carved

the male bodies.

THE campaign to get a COM
plete and thorough count
of Tacoma's population con-
tinues. Volunteer groups of
many kinds are doing their
utmost to assist .the census
headquarters here in seeing
that all those overlooked by
regular enumerators are in
cluded in the total for the
city and county. Although
advices now are that Tacoma
probably will remain in the
100000 class, no effort should
be spared to see that the fig
ure is exceeded as far as pos
sible. We must not fail in the
effort to get a complete check
of population.
THE proposed project of the
public works department
in erecting new signs on the
city streets sets an example
which should be followed by
the home owners and bust
nessmen of the city. Tacoma
is expecting to play host to
thousands of visitors during
the next few months, and one
of the courtesies which should
be shown in the proper num-
bering of houses and places
of business in a manner plain
ly visible from the street.
This suggestion would also
apply to apartment houses,
which, too often, use only the
name as a guide.
