Heart and Home: Women will
benefit by pursuing their usual
tasks today. although prepare

in fashion should be avoided.

next spring will come with many
changes affecting even the
styles Of clothing. In other
words. buying should be made
with thought for the future
when economies may be neces-

Business Affairs: Trade with
Mexico and South America will
expand. II the stars are rightly

army of fifth columnists which
operates in the Western Henri

established with all our south

National Issues: ReorganiZa-
ton OF the United States diplo-
matte corps will reveal the need
OF trained men to represent the
nation in foreign lands. AL
though there are schools for flu
ture eonsuls and ENJOYS, the
system OF choosing ambassadors
and ministers has taken little
notice Of career men. the seers
point out. With the number Of
independent nations reduced. the
diplomatic corps will shrink
greatly. but responsibilities will
multiply.
International Affairs: Heavy
losses are presaged in the world

friend will be able to do greater
service to the cause she loved
than when she was still clad in
her garment of flesh. What we
say has been proven millions of
times through the ages.
She has often appeared at
spiritualistic meetings. She was
known as the prettiest woman
in the Northwest. She was noted
for her soft brown eyes and
brown hair which was never
bobbed in accordance with the
silly fad of that time. God bless
her and help her in the higher
world.
A small number of citizens
helped in the great cause of
properly naming the mountain.
Sam Wall, who carried the fight
to Washington was betrayed by
his fellow citizen there.
Theodore Roosevelt and some
of the brainiest men in the ma
ton were advocates of TAHOMA,
but the great mass of the people
like the majority of the people
during the revolutionary war,
had no fighting spirit. But for
the French and the Scotch-Irish,
a home for freedom would have
failed in the western world.
Tacoma has the best natural
harbor in the world. Forty years
ago she led the whole United
States in Alaskan and Oriental
trade. But the old timers have
all died off. save Mr.. Woods, the
coffee man. Long may he flour
ish. Most of the decadent de-
scendants of the old timers
would rather cheat a customer
than fight for Mount Tacoma,
which explains the cause of our
eclipse.
We believe that Tacoma will
again revive, like giant re-
freshed. But we need new blood.

the Great Spirit of the Universe

Just in cas- you disagree.
well remind you that technical
progress has come a long vsy
in 20 wears. and here's what
happened In World War I.
A total Of six German suh.
during = period of sin months
sank 81 ships In American wa
ters with loss Of s6s lives.
That doesn't count Il ships
and 81 lives lost because ships
were forced 10 run without
lights in fear Of ~uhs and thus
collided or were mis-identified
and destroyed by American gun
fire.
Half Of the ships sunk thus
were American, and virtually
all Of them were sunk within
sight OF the shores OF United
States.
Among all those steamers,
schooners, troop transports.
square riggers and passenger
ships, the prize trophy was the
armored cruiser u. s. 8. San
Diego, which was sunk by q
mine in New York's harbor.
Those six German submarines.
which operated Independent 81
each other $500 miles from
their base. were equipped with
mines and the equipment to lay
them. heavy-caliber guns fore
and aft, and torpedoes.
Some Of the other exploits ~
those submarine raiders included
such tasty little chores n the
following:
Sinking Of the Diamond Shoal
Lghtship, which considerably
hampered shipping in that vicin-
ity for a goodly time.
Shelled the port Of Province
town on Massachusetts, Cape
Cod during the process of sink
ing a tug and three barges in
the harbor there.
Lay-to within shouting dis
lance Of downtown New York
and trolled back and forth with
giant shears to cut telephone
and telegraph cables.
Laid mine which put the
battleship Minnesota out Of
commission.
Polished off a number OF
ships loaded with sugar for the
United States. Remember the
sugar shortage?
The record Is grim. America
was strictly on the losing end
of the entire deal.
All because we were sending
warships to fight away from
home.
And it has been said that his
tory repeats itself. Thus. be-
cause the situation is develop
ing in much the same way these
DAYS we doubt that we'd be
much surprised il enemy sub
marines soon began bit of a
show in American waters.
Officialdom said last time it
couldn't happen here - but il
did. All we hope is that we'll
be better able to cope with the
mess this time.
Neptu e two gods and a
planet. Here's the dope:
According to the ancient Ro-
mans, the god Neptune had
charge of the welfare of springs
and rivers, and as boss of run
ming fresh water he kept things
moving in good shape.
According TO Greeks of the
same vintage, Neptune was the
mojee in charge of the sea and
salt water generally. The Greeks
rather vaguely referred to Nep-
tune by the name Of Poseidon.
