BUT IT'S GREAT TO BE A REAL PRETTY "MOVIE" PICTURE ACTRESS BESS IK EYTTON. Everybody knows Bessie Eyt< ton! She Is a remarkable swimmer, a clever rider, a good shot and n capable actress. In addition, and Just incidentally, like it may be mentioned that she has beautiful red hair. When she commenced doing photoplay parts, Miss Eytton was very uncertain whether the pub lic would like her or not. Sht was really timid and quite afraid to look at her own work, In the beginning. But she was* as deter mined to make good finally as any human being could be. Grit and ability hitched together are a pretty sure way of winning fame. And Bessie Eytton is an example. Bhe is playing leads with the Edeudale Selig company in Los Angeles. WHO SAYS COPS DON'T WORK Tacoma police court tried 2,604 cases lust year, according to the annual report of Clerk Hackett, issued today.

There were 178 dissolute women brought in and 95 gam blers. In the speed class, 159 auto drivers were nipped and 154 motorcycle riders, while 16 more motorcycle men were caught for riding on sidewalks, and there were 127 violations of the traf fic ordinance. The auto and motorcycle men, prostitutes and gamblers were the best paying cases before the court. The drunks, vags and Imbibers generally Were mostly dead loss.

MTCHONBIGJOB Three members of the city council thlß morning Insisted that Commissioner Lawson should let the contract for supplying cast iron posts for the business dis trict "white way" to the high bidder. . - -The Griffin Wheel company was $51.50 lower than the Taco ma Foundry ft Machine company. Hut the latter all live in the city, and Preeland, Mills and Woods thought, therefore, they ought to get the Job. The mayor and Lawson insisted the Job should go to the Griffin Wheel company. The bids for the material for the whole work show the' cost will be $26,469, besides the labor. Nicholson Is probably right. If as much increase in business comes to Tacoma as is hoped for, present facilities will need supplement ing. But there is ample room for growth here. And there can be considerable development at very small cost. The great trouble with all the schemes for devel oping the large area of tideflats has been that tl / owners of this property have wanted the people at large to help pay the bills for making them million aires.
