PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
OPPOSES PLANES IN
RESIDENTIAL AREAS
LAUNDERING HANK

Editor. The Times: Why do
these training planes use the
residential sections of our city
To train in? We live not far
from the home where the plane
crashed two weeks ago. and
was out in the garden and heard
the motor stop. Had I looked
up | would have seen the crash.
Its such a common occurrence
that l paid no attention to il.
l thought the people of Pierce
county gave enough land with
McChord field to make it UNI
necessary for them to endanger
our homes and lives. We don't
have airplane coverage on our
home for the simple reason our
rate is so high now we couldn't
afford to put it on when we
built this four-room home. Be-
lleve 1t or not. it is costing
$3.50 without il. and the add
tional premium would bring it
over the one-hundred mark. II
Is nothing unusual to see the
planes just clear the electric
poles and wires. and many
mornings it is impossible to
sleep after $50 a. m. because of
the noise.
I'm not an old fogey and do
realize were living in an age
when the airplane will soon 10
as common to all as the auto.
and when ii is I want TO be able
TO pilot one the same as l do
the car. But do feel there
should be some restrictions
placed on where and when these
beginners get their experience.
know there are others who
feel the same as l about the
noise. AMI maybe the mortality
rate would be lessened if more
people enjoyed the peace and
quiet of suburban districts.

Demand for Ships Tremendous

Increasing business activity created by the defense pro-
is producing demand for shipping and cargo ton
mage of all types that ranscends completely the existing
facilities.
One-eighh of this country's 1889 merchant fleet
roughly million tons-has been transferred TO the army
and navy An additional million and half tons sails
under foreign flags including those of Britain Free Norway
and Panama In other words between onefourth and
third of shipping longer is available for serving
economic requirements
According to the blueprnts, u s. yards scheduled
to produce about 100000 of vessels during 194
Construction has been surprising estimates that output
reach 100000 tons by New Years But not before
the end of 1912 create the maximum tonnage
envisaged by the current program amounting to about
2500000 tons annually II this goal achieved and pro-
vided British builders out equal tonnage at
that time. Anglo-U S. production will have reached the
level of present sinkng 100000 year At present
British yards produce about 100000 annually Even
by the end of next year. however, construction will
care for increased business activity

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, JULY 10

Good and evil balance in the
planetary influences for today.
There is a promising sign for
all sorts of constructive Actiyi-
ties. IL is a favorab date for
launching new projects and
should be most fortunate for
organized labor.

day are subject to adverse rule
Of the stars. They should main
tain positive attitude OF mind
which prevents entrance Of de-
pressing thoughts. Girls NAV
discover this an unlucky day for

certainty and apprehension will
preoecupy the minds of young
men. Weather conditions NAV
affect persons Of all ages. for
unusually sudden changes will
cause suffering from the heat
within a.week in many parts of
the country.
Business Affairs: Astrologers
long have prognosticated the
leveling OF wealth in the United
States While many classes of
workers gain in income, en-
ployers and possessors of riches
will contribute large amounts of
money in taxes. The process of
financial change will be felt
midsummer. but there will &c
general prosperity which stimu-
lates trade.
National Issues: As war be-
comes OF more concern in the
United States tina question of
