Tacoma was in tough spot.
Influences around Puget Sound

Northern Pacific terminus to Sc

let it go. Another group backed
by eastern financiers wanted

II any Of those questions were
raised they must have been
brushed aside. for the record
speaks for itself
What amazes the pioneers
who started things out here Is
the complaceney with which
the younger generation sits
down, signs over unfortunate
situations and says, "it just
can't be done-not now. any
way"
They can't understand how
come this generation overlooks
the stitch in time that would
have kept the Tacoma city hall
in some resemblance to the fine
looking building it was. And
why there is a circle of lights
around the outside of the tower
clock at night and a blackout on
the dial is deep mystery. II it
were matter of saving electric
current they would blackout the
rim and shed a little light on
the face OF the clock.
And there's the Pierce
county court house still
grand tyne of period archi-
lecture as far As the outside Is
concerned but looking pretty
shabby inside.
The city hall and the court
house remind the pioneers of the
property of the very rare shift
less settler who came in along
with other folks and couldn't be
bothered putting a peg in when
the need first appeared. He let
it go until several pegs were
needed. and that made the Job
harder and excused the plea that
1t would have TO wait awhile be-
cause there were not enough
pegs.
The pioneers are hoping that
the present generation will wake
up pretty soon and give deter
mined attention to things that
need TO be done.

The same thing is true of girls. but
in a slightly different way. Men
still earn the bulk of the national
income, but women spend it. It
therefore isn't as important for a

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Alf Phillips says: ITO start with
your body must be supple, for in
diving flexibility is more important
than mere strength. advise you not
to 60 near a springboard until you've
put yourself through a series OF ex-
ercising workouts. Simple exercises
that tend to stretch the arms and
legs. toughen the muscles of the
abdomen and loosen the spine. A
good diver should be able to bend
from his hips and touch his head to
his knees while keeping his legs
straight
Don't let this discourage you. I
feel sure that Mr.. Phillips was not
talking about beginners when he
said that! The first great battle in
learning how to dive is the struggle
to lose your fear of falling into the
water head first. Whether you kneel
on one knee, or stand crouched
over at the edge. is unimportant at
the beginning. The first problems
are to lose your fear, learn how to
hit so that you will leave some water
in the pool, and acquire the timing
on the push from your feet.
Once you can dive in this anna
teurish way, you can begin working
on form. The point which Mr.. Phil
lips makes is most essential, how
ever, if you hope to enter the water
gracefully and with an air.
The diver would do we'll to take
exercises, however. Perhaps one
reason for the youth of champion
divers is their extreme suppleness.
Today's exercise will stretch the
arms and legs, loosen the spine and
tougher the abdominal muscles.
Lie on your back with your legs
straight and your arms stretched
out on the floor over your head.
Raise the arms, head and trunk,
keeping feet on the floor, and touch
the feet with the hands Now lower
trunk, head and arms to the floor
Raise the legs upward to right an
giles to the body (stiff knees and
then lower legs To the floor. Keep
these two movements separate.
Don't rock back and forth, but lower
the trunk to the floor before you
raise the legs.

from stupid. He had an extensive
book knowledge Of economics, and a
lot of ideas and theories, mostly
pretty liberal and advanced.
But with the most elementary of
all economic processes-the basic
business of being a producer and
earning a dollar or two-he had not
even speaking acquaintance. He
was 81 years old, and he hadn't yet
learned the financial facts of life
So I suppose he'll go on and get his
masters degree and end up teaching
his starry-eyed theories to a lot of
other kids, or else get political job
and help bankrupt the taxpayers"
Perhaps Georges future isn't as
appalling as our friend believes, but
we can't help contrasting his sit
uation with that of a 16-year-old
high school junior whom We met on
recent trip. This boy is one of
three children, and his father has
never earned more than S35 a week
Yet the boy is prominent in all high
school activities, which he pays for
with money he earns himself.
He has been making money at all
sorts of jobs ever since he entered
junior high school. He has moved
lawns, carried papers, worked in a
store. He has bought and paid for
the equipment of a basement shop
which is his chief hobby. When his
mother runs short of funds, as she
often does. she knows that she can
always borrow a dollar or two from
| him.
Now, by ordinary standards,
George has been a lot more for
tunate than this high school junior
George comes from a well-to-do
family. He has enjoyed all the So
called privileges, including an edu-
cation at one of the finest universi-
ties in the country. The other boy
comes from a family which has
always had a financial struggle, and
the chief privilege he has enjoyed
is the privilege of looking out for
himself
But in our opinion. George is the
real unfortunate. Circumstances
and his family-have allowed him to
reach physical maturity while re-
manning an infant economically.
Some day George will be forced to
get an education in down. to-earth
personal finance. and its going to
be really tough on him when it hap
pens.
The boy who does little work
and earns little money during his
school years gets this vital training
by a comparatively painless method.

Alienation
For Neck
Strain
These Refreshing
Exercises Do
Not Reduce
By Patricia Lindsay

Luckily for the legion Of work
ing girls, there are exercises to
relieve strain which have moth
ing whatever to do with reducing
the body or building it up. These
refreshing movements simply take
the aches out that have been put
into the body by working too hard
or by concentrating too long on
one thing.
Thee next time your shoulders
and neck feel as heavy as lead
making you feel a thousand years
oldD. strip off any tight clothing
you are wearing and practice these
movements.
Take any stick or bar a yard
or more long. Hold it in back
of you, clasped palms facing the
floor. Swing the bar upward as
you rise on your toes get a
good stretching, it will make you
feel good. Lower your heels, re-
lax second and then repeat exer-
else. KEEP YOUR ABDOMEN IN
CHIN UP AND KNEES STAIGHT
Repeat as often as you desire.
Read over the directions care
fully of this exercise before trying
to do it, 1t is a bit tricky, but
oh so good. Place your feet about
two feet apart and raise your arms
sideways, shoulder level. PULL
IN YOUR ABDOMEN KEEP HEAD
ERECT. Now twist the upper part
of your body toward the left and
lean back as far as possible. You
should be able to touch your right
calf with your left hand! NATURALLY
your knees must bend and youl
right arm Is held high for balance)
If you do the movement correctly
you feel a sharp stretching Of your
spine and shoulder muscles.
Straighten up again, relax fol
q minute. Repeat by twisting to-
ward the right. Stretch flfteer
times.
Get down on the floor on your
back. Bend knees but keep feet or
floor. Clasp arms and hold them
shoulder high. Now roll from left
to right, right to left. FEEL RE-
LAXED IN SHOULDERS AND
NECK AREA and let your head
roll easily from side to side. You
might hear a cracking of bones in
the shoulder blade area but do not
let that alarm you-they are stifi
bones getting a working out which
they need. After rolling for a few
moments, stretch out straight on
the floor, point your heels, raise
your chin. and rest for five min
utes in that position.

away. The lining of the chest is
treated TO eliminate tarniSh, and
loss of luster. 1t may be secured in
several sizes, and is comparatively
inexpensive.

market is exceptionally fine. 1t has
about a dozen long prongs. catalin

for every one, but if you will watch
the trends carefully you'll have an
excellent idea of the picture as a
whole. We stopped in to have a
chat with buyer the other after
noon and found him more than
enthusiastic about these beautiful
garments. This is a season for fine
quality he told us, and there are
interesting developments through
out the current selection" Among
these worthwhile features is new,
luxurious feeling attained by the
manipulation of skins in collars and
sleeves. Collars are often a little
larger and delicately worked. Sleeves
are much fuller, the balloon type
is prominent, particularly in mink
and ermine, and the push-up, Man.
DARN and sleeve with turned-baCk
cuff are all shown with great sue
cess. Black Persian lamb and car
acul are bearers of these new sleeves,
which lend interest without too
much eXaggeration.
Shoulders are softer than in the
past. and the entire silhouette has
a new slimneSs. a somewhat tailored
look that is most f1attering. Fitted
coats are, as usual, being discussed,
but the boXy type, without too much
fullness, continues to be the star of
the show. ArmholeS are wider and
deeper. as a consequence of the
fuller sleeves.
Last years trends. which included
yoke and bloused backs. are not
visible this season, particularly in
the higher priced furs. Jackets, too
have taken a turn for the worse and
are being replaced by new length,
80 to 36 inches. This important
length is looked upon with favor by
such authorities as Joseph De Leo,
one of the foremost American fur
designers. Such a coat lends it
self to ensembling," he says. 1T
can be worn in early fall, through
most of the winter, and also in the
early spring. 1t can be worn
smartly also with evening clothes. "
Some capes are on the scene, in all
the fine fus, including broadtall.
Speaking of furs and their color, as
We are at this point, brown, black
and gray in that order are the
favorites. There's great trend to
lighter furs this year and among
the best is wild mink, which is much
more subtle than the ranch type.

though it will have an unfamiliar
look at first. Also tops" is the new
