I lost my u>-ual Sunday morning sleep yesterday. I
left the window shade up when I retired the night before.
The flies began buzzing early.
As I lay half awake I heard a wagon rattle along the
gilent street. It stopped at Brown's, just opposite my place.
I looked out. It was a milk wagon. The driver trotted
cut with an empty bottle, and the rig turned and rattled
away again
A half hour passed. Another wagon appeared. It stop
ped at Smith's, two doors from Brown's. Then it went away
again.
It had barely disappeared when another one speared,
and stopped at the house in between the two. This thing
was growing interesting. Then came another. This driver
made three deliveries in the block.
By the time my family was up I had counted seven
wagons that had driven into my block and out again. And
most of them served only fine family.
At least five minutes was consumed by each rig; 35
minutes in all
And the day was still young
I began thinking of B. F. Shields' statement last week
that duplication of distribution causes the high price of milk.
And I began thinking it might be true Shields is advocat
ing a municipal dairy to handle all Seattle's milk, like mail
is delivered
Thee deliverymen spent all day Sunday duplicating each
other's trips over the city, each cutting into the other's
territory, traveling miles to deliver a few bottles of milk.
One wagon should have supplied our block all our dis
trict in less time than it took th<>-e seven to the one

SAY, PEOPLE!
The Star hat tome Potlatch surprise parties
for you. We'll tell you about just one of them
today.
You remember how, last Potlatch, The Star's
Golden Girl rode in an automobile through
the crowded downtown district, and THREW
MONEY AWAY? Maybe you got some of it.
Or maybe, if YOU didn't, you saw the others
scramble for it. Well worth scrambling for,
too, believe us.
Well, this Potlatch The Star's Golden Girl
will distribute the cash FROM AN AERO
PLANE.
We now will introduce you to our 1914
Golden Girl. Alys McKey-Bryant, step for*
ward. YEP, FOLKS, ITS THE FAMOUS
AVIATRICE. She has agreed to perform the
stunt for The Star, and, Friday afternoon, be
tween S and 6 o'clock, will fly up Second av.
from the Smith building to the Washington
hotel, SCATTERING ENVELOPES CONTAIN
ING ORDERS ON THE STAR'S CASHIER
FOR VARIOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY,
RANGING UP TO $5.
A RAIN OF MONEY FROM THE SKIES!
If she can't get rid of all the money on the
first trip, she'd turn around and come k»rh
over the same route, flying aa low as possible,
and drop the rest of it. She thinlu she
can manage to make every envelope land be
tween the curbs.
BE THERE! IT WILL MEAN MONEY

The story of Jealousy that raus

This Information has been fur

It had been supposed that Mrs.

centered around the call of a train
ed nurse to borrow money from
the doctor.

kissed him. that She then entered

By her aide was a dapper young

expression.
The little girl carried The Star.
I had to take the chance. It took a

VAfASHINGTON, July 13. —Advices today from
Admiral Badger at Vera Cruz indicated that
the naval court of inquiry, which had been investi
gating the case of Correspondent Fred L. Boalt of The
Seattle Star, will adjourn this afternoon or tomorrow.
Before doing so, however, it was expected to
examine Ensign Richardson, from whom, among other
naval officers, Boalt said he got his story of tha
•hooting of unarmed and fleeing Mexicans by Ameri
can landing parties during the occupation of Vera
Cruz.
Secretary of Navy Daniels has asked Badger to
telegraph a summary of the court's findings to Wash
ington.
It is understood the suspended deportation order
issued against Boalt will be held up until the full text
of the testimony is received here.
Chairman Padgett of the house committee on
naval affairs said his committee, too, probably wiß
delay action until it has this testimony before it, on
Congressman Falconer's resolution, calling for all tha
papers in the case, for information as to who wa§
responsible for the deportation order, and an '""ftt
to the question whether reports of the evidence
by the court of inquiry have been censored.
Indications were that the committee report wouli
favor the resolution's adoption.
Government officials are reticent today concern*
ing the case.
