RECENTLY REPAIRED PACIFIC COAST
STEAMER QUEEN SAILS FOR NORTH
Neither Fire Nor Flood Through Which She Has Gone
Gan Wreck Her and She Is Still the Handsomest
Vessel That Passes In and Out of This Harbor

The Pacific Coast steamship Queen
made a braYe show yesterday as she
passed among the racing yachts in
the bay on her way to Puget Sound
ports. This is her second trip since
her disastrous fire of Tillamook Light
February 81, when fourteen persons
were burned to death. She was the
Queen OF the Pacific when she first
came around the Horntwenty-two years
ago, but the name was shortened to
one word. On her first trip north,
with her owner aboard. she grounded
on Columbia River bar and lost a por-
ton Of her cargo. Once she almost
filed with water from an open port
and she has been in collision with sew
eral other vessels. With all her misfor-
tunes she sails the seas one Of the
prettiest steamers that goes in and
out Of this harbor.

Worlds Greatest Cotton center.

While large numbers of English mer-
chants are visiting The Louisiana Pur-
chase Exhibition, many American busi-
ness men engaged in the manufactur-
ing dry goods trade are making trans
Atlantic voyages expressly to attend
the exhibition recentl-- opened at Brad
ford, England
That market holds the record as the
greatest wool center in the world. AL
though the Bradford exhibition is com
paratively limited in scope, being
mainly devoted to textile industries. so
diversified are the interests connected
Herewith that thousands Of wholesale
as well as retail dealers figure it as the
chief attraction of a European trip this
year.
The display of woods comprehends
raw materials and yarns from which
such fabrics are produced. The differ
ent processes employed in manufactur-
ing are shown in detail, from the time
the wool leaves the sheep until it is
made up in the form of dress goods and
then converted into model costumes

What He'd Really Do.

1t was a quiet Sunday morning and
the children's voices rang out clearly
from the corner where they sat side by
side. The little boy was only years
old, and his English sounded some
thing more like Hawaiian than what
he meant it for so his sister needed a
large amount of patience to coach him
in his Sunday-school answers. Some
dozens Of times she had gone over the
long answers and heard his solemn rem
dering, down to the question Of what
he would do if he saw God coming.
I'D fall down and worship him"
came the reply, with the perfection Of
much practice.
At last the older child laid aside the
book with a contented sigh. Her blue
ticket was assured. She took her
brothers face between her hands and
turning it up to her own asked:
Now, say, sure 'nough, what would
you do If you saw God coming? Not in
the catechism now. S'pose he was
coming right through the door there p"
The boy did not hesitate. I'd run"
he said.
And the father, who choked Just then
over his paper. got no sympathy from
the mother, but only the indignant re-
mark:
Your children make me ashamed."-

Manufacturers Now at Work Design
ing Motor Vehicles for Street.
Cleaning Department


Several manufacturers of motor We
hicles are at work, according to DR..
John McGaw Woodbury.. the Commis-
sioner of Street Cleaning, trying TO
produce a practical truck for use in his
department.
The Commissioner said such a truck
will have to hold from six to eight
cubic yards, have a steel and water
tight cover and be built low down.
Manufacturers of steam, electric, Pc
troleum, steam turbine and even a
LIQUID air man are trying to win the
prize by producing the best truck. No
time limit has been set, and no detailed
specifications have been given.
'I believe within four or five years
we will be able to do away with all the
present horses and trucks" said DR..
Woodbury. to-day, "and all we want is
a practical vehicle. We want one that
will do the work and be no more OBJ
jectionable than the present system.
1--WE have now 1165 one-horse carts
which carry one and a half cubic
Yards; twenty-seven two-horse trucks
which hold four cubic yards, and 1921
horses. Our horses cost US about $3.50
each-the last batch S270. The advan-
tages Of substituting some modern
power truck are so obvious that / need
not dwell on it"-New York Evening

NEW YORK, July 9.-Prices ad-
vanced again to-day in sympathy
with the prominent stocks and there
was considerable buying of the stocks
that led the market through the week.
The purchase of large blocks of these
stocks kept alive the impression that
there was an organized movement to
advance them. The operators showed
some parttality for the so-called Nor
gan shares, following the large buy
ing OF Reading yesterday. In com
pany with the buying of United States

mand for Pennsylvania and the rest
of the list moved narrowly, but held
generally above last nights level un-
til the appearance of the bank state
ment. when prices slightly sagged. The
market hardened in the final hours
and closed steady. Clearing weather
and subsiding waters in the wheat
country were regarded with satisfac-
ton and contributed TO the firmness
Of the market.

DANGER OF CAUSING CANCER
FROM WEARING CORSETS
Some Cases Reported by Noted Lon
don Surgeon Are Of Much


r. Clement Lucas, the senior surgeon
at Guys Hospital, London. gives the
details in a recent issue OF a medical
Journal of two cases treated at GUYS,
in which painful operations were neces-
sary to remove cancers from the breast.
In the first case the patient worked
at a fur factory. and for many hours
every day her arm was carried back
ward and forward in her work, and her
pectoral muscle. moving to and fro
while she leaned over her desk, pressed
the soft tissue against the upper edge
of her corset The second instance was
similar. and the hard tumor "corre-
SpOnded exactly with the friction level
of the upper edge OF the corset as Il
crossed the margin OF the pectoralis
major muscle"
Mr.. Lucas sets forth these examples
as further proofs Of the theory that
carcinamo (cancer) Is APT to attack
lowered or the power Of resistance les
sened by chronic irritation" Doubtless
this is the reason why cancer Of the
lower lip rarely occurs except in pipe
smokers" Corset and pipe have much
to answer for. so far as health Il con-
cerned-especially corset.
It may be laid down as a general
principle that It Is dangerous for any
part of the body to be subjected to
chronic pressure or irritation. Stir,
chafing collars on the back Of the neck
produce boils and carbuncles, Just as
irritating corsets develop cancer Of the
breast.-London Globe
