I have been married six years, and can say with truth that my husband and I are happier each year, { believe that the majority of couples may have a stormy time of it for one or two years, but by that time they should understand each other, and each try to make the other as happy as is possible. Certainly there will be trouble to meet, but let them Meet it together.

For this reason I do hot advise divorce except in cases of brutality, noneupport, or un faithfulness.

UNION CUT RATE DENTISTS Pike, Entrance 305% Pike _ STAR WANT ADS BRING RESULTS TO THE The advertisement of the Denny-Ren- ton Clay and Coal Co., attempting to im- pugn the motives of the officials of the City of Seattle in placing an order for the delivery of electrical conduits, is mislead- ing and does not give to the public a statement of the true facts. THIS STATEMENT OF FACT FOLLOWS: ‘The Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Com- pany have been given three orders for ducts, after repeatedly claiming that th-y had installed new machinery and would furnish satisfactory material One of these orders was given in 1910; the last was given in October, 1911, for use on Fifth avenue, after they had claimed that new machinery was installed, with the distinct understanding that they would have preference over all outsiders tf the duct proved satisfactory The ducts were piled at Fifth avenue and Marion street, and the Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Company were requested by representa- tives of the Lighting Department and by the Purchasing Agent (in person) to ex- amine the material, as it was unfit for use. This request was ignored, and as the street was torn up and ready for nav- ing, and as these ducts were the onty ones available, the Lighting Department was compelled to employ laborers with files to smooth the ducts, in order to make it possible to use them at all. These ducts cost $7.25 per 100 duct feet, f. 0. b. cars, the city assuming all cartage and breakage, which ainounts to 80c, or a total of $8.05, while the duct bought from the Western Electric Com- pany was delivered on the job at a priv of $7.60 on the same-sized order. The City Purchasing Agent was noti- PUBLIC Why the Denny-Renton Clay & Coal Co. Did Not Get That Contract fied on Decemper 29th that a raise in price of 75c would take effect on January 1, 1912. He immediately placed the order for 500,000 duct feet, or 60 carloads, in- stead of 120 cars, as wrongly stated by the Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Co., in monthly deliveries. This order effected a saving of approximately $3,750.00, be- sides the breakage and cartage. This or- der is not a contract, but was giver to protect the city against an advance in price, or a possible decline, and may be cancelled on a showing by tle Denny- Renton Clay and Coal Co. that they can furnish a duct equal in merit at a satis- factory price. This preference to local firms is and has always been the policy of the Board of Public Works. The Stone & Webster corporations and the telephone companies have given this company trial orders in the past year, but have placed their 1912 orders with the Western Electric Company, finding the local conduit unfit for use. The city furnishes light and power for many large business houses, ind cannot sacrifice their service to help any concern to experiment. A rough duct tears and punctures»a lead-covered cable, allowing water to enter, and results, sooner or lat- er, in short circuits. This means serious inconvenience to customers, in addition to loss of revenue and the prestige of the plant, amounting to many times the value of the duct. The Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Co. have been formally requested bv the Board of Public Works to demonstrate their ability to furnish a satisfactory product. THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
