THE SEATTLE ST Really, the divorce habit in America has reached impres- tive proportions. In 1885 we had 23,000 divorces against ,000 for all the rest of the world, and in 1905 we had 68,000 against 40,000 for the rest of the world. e At the present rate of increase one-fourth of all marriages will be ended by divorce in 1950 and one-half of all marriages By 1990. Prof, C. A. Ellwood of Missouri university remarks : ba “The family as a permanent institution between man d aga will end in this country within a measurable length of time. my as an institution is doomed in the United States. s fot so fast, professor.

Editor Seattle Star—Dear Sir: In hope of space in your paper I am sending following warning to railroad laborers intending to come up to Canadian Northern's between Hope and B.C. There are about 1,200 men now waiting for the com- mencement of the work laying in fangles all after the line and un- ible to get work. Mr. Pat Welsh tated, in some papers two wee ago, that he was going to start at once with 6,000 men. As a matter of fact, there are not 600 men working for Mr. Wel®h right now A no demand for more mon either. In fact, it is tty near an impossibility to get a job at all, and many are leaving daily for oth- er parts of the country. We are now about 800 men or- ganized up here, all doing our best to better conditions in ways of raising wages, better camp accom- modations, shorter hours, etc. Thanking you in CARL BERGLU Secretary Spence’s Brid German Saengerfest August 17-22 CONCERTS AT MOORE THEATRE, AUG. 17-18-19, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY EVENINGS SATURDAY MATINEE, PRIZE SINGING SOLOISTS —Ludwig Hess, Royal Court Singer, Berlin, jermany.

They hardly knew what to ex pect. If an adjutant general of the state militia appears ike a pen- cock on parade, & person would need smoked glasses to view a vic torious admiral. That's what the reporters and photographers th and they were ready to see a 8 hero step up to the deck of the Seneca. When the admiral arrived he was saluted’ by 17 flashlights, which staggered the welcoming party. Togo didn’t even blink. The hero of the Russian war wore a black derby hat, « gray rain- coat and carried a cane, He wasn't an inch over fi feot tall. His face, but for a somewhat straggly short beard thet evidently aspires to be of the Van Dyke type, would be almost round. The next day after his arrival, Togo appeared lit up. He wore the dazsling white uniform of a Japanese admiral hung with golden decorations and then everybody had to doff his hat to Togo, for admirals are scarcer than hen’s teeth in Rut down here in little old New York, Togo didn't sit around the hotel lobby telling how he leked the Russians. Neither would he answer questions about Japanese politics, He talked about the glories of peace and the friendship of the United States and let it go at that. _ As the Seneca steamed up the ARE ARRIVING DAILY Our showing {e unusually LARGE and ATTRACTIVE, tn- cluding FELT HOODS, SATIN and VELVET SHAPES, and a number of Irma as SUMMER MILLINERY AT BIG REDUCTION PEREEYE SSSSSSSE SHEE E SY [F]as 13 Twe war Te00 LeoKEo Te THE TAS IN EW Yorn, ADMIRAL TOGO IN NEW YORK. bay the band played “My Country , Banner.” ‘Tis of Thee.” It was quite piain| that it reminded Admiral Togo of He's et Here. something.
