DEPLORES LENIENCY IN
MOTORCAR CASES

Editor, The Times: The alarm
ing increase in automobile acct
dents, and the resultant destruc-
ton OF life and limb. seems to
go well in hand with the current
practice of reducing the charge
of drunken driving to negligent
driving A glaring instance of
this growing practice was the
recent arrest by a state patrol
officer of certain lieutenant
from Fort Lewis for driving his
car while drunk, the refusal of
the officer to lower the charge
TO negligent driving, an order
from Olympia ito reduce the
charge, and prompt recognition
of this order by our judicial
officers. Whereupon the mill
tary gentleman from Fort Lewis
promptly proceeded to show his
contempt for our laws and the
rules of the road by doing the
same thing over again. 1t will
be interesting to note whether
the same pressure will be
brought TO bear again with the
same result
Now the charge of driving
while drunk and the charge of
operating i'll y reckless manner
are two separate and distinct
offenses. State eN rel Foley VS..
Yuse. 1871 Washington Supreme
Court Reports p, l. Hence. by
the uniform weight of authority
the one charge Is not included
within the other, and q person
charged with driving while
drunk cannot lawfully have the
charge reduced to reckless driv-
ing. But our local justices vio-
late this law far too often to be

tion for driving while drunk re-
quires for first offense fine Of
not less than $4,000 or not less
than ten days in Jail, or both,

penalties for subsequent Of
lenses.
What would happen If one Of
our justices OF the peace in vio-
lation of the law permitted a
charge of driving while drunk
To be reduced 10 reckless driv-
ing. thus permitting the driver
TO retain mis- license. with the

SAWMHL STRIKE FROM
UNION MEMS SIDE

Editor, The Times: In answer
to the letter by r. N. johnson
recently published in your paper,
II seems that he lacks a few of
the facts about the sawmill
strike in Tacoma.
Let us look at this offer of
four and five per cent; four per
cent to the lower bracket and
five per cent to the upper
bracket.
In plain English this means
that the lowest paid man, the
one that usually does the hard
est work, will receive just 20
cents a day increase, while the
man making ten dollars a day
will receive so cents day in
crease.
When the decrease comes as
they always do in slump periods.
it would be on the percentage
basis, where the worker who re-
ceived an increase of 20 cents a
day would receive a four per
cent decrease on wages at that
time or twenty-one and six
tenths cents per day less.
A few slumps and increases,
then he would be making a
great deal less than he did be-
fore the strike.
This. of course. we could not
see. the workers have always
tried to keep wage increases,
when we have any, on an equal
basis. What is right for one is
right for all, therefore our de-
mands are for a straight hourly
increase.
One thing more that Johnson
does not seem to know; this
four and five per cent was
granted by the Weyerhaeuser in
terests without any request by
the workers. before the strike in
Tacoma; given to the worker as
you would put salve on q sore
thumb to keep it from hurting.
SO that they can make a greater
profit this year than they did
last year, with the increasing
price in lumber.
II Johnson will look 3 little
close, he will find that the work.
ers in these plants are now ask
ing for more money, in fact the
same increase that we are
asking.
The only reason that We can
see or figure for this four and
five per cent was To split the
workers into two groups. the
higher and the lower brackets,
by this to cause a dissension in
the labor ranks. This they
failed to do
Why shouldn't we ask for
more wages The price of logs
went up two dollars per thou
sand feet. while lumber went up
in some respects to nine dollars
per thousand feet and in no case
less than four dollars.
In the past few Years produc-
ton has been increased in some
plants as much as 20 per cent,
with very little increase in the
number Of workers Take the
case Of man who three years
ago was tallying on a planer,
averaging $4,000 feet per day.
Just before the strike, working
in the same plant, he was aver
aging $4,000 feet per day. and
still getting the same wages.
Now as 10 our union leaders.
our officers and negotiating
committee, do not tell US what
10 do. We tell them any re-
ports of developments or other

Just the same. we neverthe-
less were taken aback when we
bumped into W G. "Smitty"
Smith, one Of the aforementioned
research engineers, Juggling a
metronome.
Seems that he dreamed up
neat little scheme. Into his camp
he took Expert Mechanics John
Shack and Homer Ferns.
And that unholy trio cooked
up mechanical connection
which puts to shame all the
screwball perpetual motion
dreams in the world.
There are a dozen or 80 dry
cell storage batteries. several
miles of wire, a big roll of ad-
ding machine paper. a couple of
common door-bell buzzers. a pair
OF pens like youll see on a baro-
graph. a wooden drum with a
hundred fathoms or so of light
wire cable wrapped around it
and very ordinary music-teach-
er's metronome.
Well, they propose to take the
whole shebang with them and
hide launching day underneath
the platform where will be the
dignitaries. champagne. christen-
ing and god-speed blessing.
The end of the wire on the
drum will be attached to the
Cape Cleare; as it pays out
turning the drum-a gear will
turn and make an electrical con-
tact for every 10 feet the ship
moves. The electric circuit, in
turn, will pass through one OF
the door-bell buzzers and operate
pen to make little squiggle
on the adding machine tape
moving at even pace all the
while.
Meantime, the metronome will
be set in motion TO tick off the
seconds with its pendulum. In
the same manner as the above,
an electrical contact is made at
each tick and each took. and is
thereupon relayed through the
second buzzer to the pen and
thence to second line of squig-
giles on the tape.
II is a known bit of factual
information that a launched ship
moves very slowly at first, grad
ually picks up speed on her way
to the water. then slows down as
she takes the water. BY means
of the finished paper tape with
its two parallel lines of linked

MONDAY, NOVEMBER rs

Astrologers read this as an
unimportant day in planetary
direction. 1t is most favorable
to the planning and development
of future policies or activities.
The morning is promising for
constructive work.
Heart and Home: The later
hours today should be fortunate,
but only to a limited extent. The
morning is favorable for routine
tasks. There may be a tendency
to self-pity on the part of girls
who find life less of a playday
than they planned it to be. There
may be mild love affairs under
this configuration. but boy
friends may be discursive in
their interests. Housekeepers
who have not bought their win
ter blankets may find prices
soaring.
Business Affairs: Need of
trained hands will be felt in
many mechanical operations, in
factories and airports. During
the winter employment for the
young and middle-aeed should
be well paid as experience will
count in many vocetions. En-
gineers will prosper greatly and
Americans will prove their ex-
IRENE aptitude for scientific
pursuits. Meteorologists now
will reap rewards for long prep
aration for work most important
TO aviation.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury Of year of un-
expected experiences. Risks of
all sorts should be avoided.
Children born on this day will
be affectionate. courteous and
lovable. They will be keenly in
telligent and may possess I'M

If you have been associating cof-
fees smooth delicious taste and aroma
with the morning cup and the perfect
dinner climax, you may enjoy exper-
imenting with coffee as aflavor in
cakes, candy, custards, icing and fill
ings.
Coffee as flavor lends itself to
many combinations and is particular
ly delightful in gelatin desserts. One
thing to remember, however, in using
coffee in the flavoring of recipes;
do not boil the coffee in an effort
to concentrate it or make it stronger
for flavoring. This will give nothing
more than a rancid liquid which will
spoil your recipe.
The correct procedure to follow if
you wish to get truly delicious cof-
fee flavor, is to use an extra amount
of the ground coffee when brewing
it for this purpose and, of course, be
sure it is fresh. This latter requisite

claiming "Oh dear!"
Has it ever occurred to you that
such an expression is, in reality, a
dishonoring of the mercy, the kindness,
and the goodness of our heavenly
Father? Is it not an expression that
indicates a low ebb Of faith and a
confession Of defeat?
