COFFEE OUTPUT ENORMOUS.
Excessive Crops Have Reduced Profits
 of Producers to Below Cost.

How many realize the enormous pro- portion to which the consumption of coffee has attained in this country! For a long period the Netherlanders led the world in per capita consump ton, but during recent years we have "beaten the Dutch," and now lead the world in this, as in so many other things, with a per capita consumption of eleven pounds, which is between 42 and 43 per cent of the entire world's production, which percentage embraces a larger proportion of the finest prod ucts than is used by the balance of the world.
 This consumption requires over 100000 pounds per day, for which we contribute from $125,000,000 to $780, 100000 annually.
 It would be reasonable to presume that a business of such magnitude, in an article for which there is such steady demand, would be more or less profitable to the importer, yet the facts are that importation and jobbing of Brazil green coffees might be called the Sable island of commerce" as there are more wrecks strewn along its shores than that of any of the other leading articles of commerce.
 Notwithstanding this unfavorable record, outsiders are attracted to the business as moths to the candle, and they seldom escape the moths fate. This improbable feature of the busi- ness is difficult of explanation, but may be largely due to the periods of excessive crops, when dealers are un- able to form basis of values, prices going much below expectations. Fol lowing these excessive crops it is nat ural to look for short crops, but these do not come at the time appointed or expected; hence it becomes very diff cult to foretell the future of the mar ket.

BREAKING OF THE VOICE.
It Is Caused by an Organic Change iu
 the Laryux.

The peculiar physiological causes of what is called the breaking of the voice are not quite understood, but it is known to depend immediately upon an organic change in the larynx, the organ of the voice, which occurs in the male sex between the ages of IA and 16. Before that the larynX of boys resembles that of girls, but when the voice begins to break the vocal chords become heightened at least one third, the angle of the thyroid cartilage becomes enlarged, and the muscles which connect the organs of the voice with the hypoid bone and the base of the tongue become elongated.
 While the change of form is taking place the voice is united for singing and should be used only with great care. In other words, the breaking of the voice is due to the rapid de- velopment of the larynx, which takes place at certain ages and which leads to change in the range of the voice. The peculiar harshness of the voice when it is thus breaking seems to be due to a temporary congestion and swollen condition of the mucous mem- brane of the vocal chords accompany ing the active growth of the whole larynX.

RUGBY GAME is CALLED OFF
Britishers Unable to Form Team and
Contest With Occidental Will
Not Be Played

The English Rugby football game
scheduled to be played at Occidental
college tomorrow afternoon between an
all-star aggregation of Englishmen
and a picked team from the Highland
Park college has been called off, as Pat
Higgins was unable TO round up team
Of English players in time for pre-
paratory practice.
Coach Merrill succeeded in getting
together fifteen players and among
them were men of the first football
team whom are willing to give the game
fair chance.
Higgins is not pleased with the pros
poets of developing a strong team and
win continue as coach when regular
practice is resumed.
The plan as now arranged and ap-
proved by the faculty and student
committee is to commence Rugby IN
the spring, at the close of the track
season, and play a series of exhibition
games after a thorough coaching.
The game is not intended to be sub
stitute for the American sport but will
be played next fall for the sake OF the
game.

count. Will probably win today.
Doctor G ran good race Wednes-
day. If he runs as well today, will
take lot of beating.
Hot Chickadee and Ding Dong II
will be right there at the end.
The fourth race brings out the best
field Of the day. Ninnasquaw is in such
excellent form at present and as Nc
Daniels probably rides, she should
lead from wire to wire.
Requiter has shown speed in his two
races and is evidently rounding to
again. Should be hard to beat for Sec
ond hOnors.
McGrathiana Prince with Miller rid
ing will be a dangerous factor, but his
weight might set heavily on him.
Luckett. the black demon. and We're
In will make their debut today, but are
hardly up to a bruisng race.
Massa might cause trouble in this
race and bears watching.
Good Luck looks the best in the fifth
race and all he has to do is to get

Today
ANGELA 4. Tiners |

The pennant is almost cinched for
Los Angeles and but ono more victory
is between the Angels and the cham
pionshlp. after yesterdays victory
which the Seraphc stickcrs won by a
score OF 4 to T.
Bobby Eecfe. the mainstay Of the
Bcngals, was forced from the box in
the fourth inning, after he had exhib-
tied wildncss that BODIED no good for
Tacoma's hopes.
Brown took his place and pitched
steady ball. allowing the Seraphs FIVE
hits during his occupancy of the box.
Bobby Eager was out Of the game
ana Ross filed his position behind the
bat, Ellis going to left field. The re-
cruit came through with another good
fielding game and slammed out a sin
gle that resulted in one of the runs.
Casey was not in the form which has
marked him as one of the fastest in
tleldcrs OF the league and yesterday he
hobhled around the Keystone sack in
condition that should have kept him
from the game The two errors chalk
cd against him came more from an in
ability to let himself out rather than
poor playing.
ShotrstOp Atz nearly sustained Sc
we're injury in the second inning, when
a swift inshoot landed on his temple
with sufficient force to send him to the
ground. For a moment it was believed
that the accident would prove serious,
hut AtD recovered and went to first.
The Angels were again in champion
ship form and not one misplay marred
their fielding throughout the game
Base stealing was at premium, though
Tommy Sheehan got away with the
two thefts of the Bengal tribe.
The first run came i'm the second,
when the Angels secured their initial
tally. Dillon was safe on Casey's err
ror and reached second on Cravath's
sacrifice. Ellis walked Atz went to
bat and sustained Il hard Jolt in the
temple as Bobby Keefe endeavored to
put the ball across the plate. With
the bases filled Tozer waited for four
wide ones and forced Dillon home.
At this juncture Graham ordered
Brown TO warm up, as Keefe was Civ
ing the preparatory signs of an ascen-
sion. Bernard hit a fly over second to
Mclaughlin for what appeared an easy
out. Mac received the ball, but let it
fall through his fingers The basemen
who had started back to the bags tried
for the next base ard while Ellis scored
Atz was caught by a quick throw to
third.
Two more runs came in the ninth on
bits by Cravath and Ellis after seven
innings of the one, two, three order.
Tommy Sheehan's steal of third in
the third inning Matted Tacoma the only
run which they We're able to bring
across during the day.
Doyle went out, Brashear to Dillon.
Sheehan singled to right field and took
second on Nordyke's sacrifice. Tommy
annexed the third bag and scored on
Egan's single over second. Further
chance of scoring came to an end when
Lynch flew TO Bernard.
Today's game will be especially for
the women and Nagle is scheduled to
pitch for the Angels. Charlie Hall.
formerly of Seattle who was signed by
Fisher yesterday, will toss for the
Tigers.
Game will be called ut 2:30 o'clock.

ALLEGIANCE SHOULD REPEAT
Steeplechase Race Is Feature Of To-
days Card at Ascot, With
Five Starters
BY Irving B. Clement

The feature event this afternoon will
be the steeplechase race, which is al
ways a drawing card.
Allegiance won his last race handily
and although he takes up eight pounds
more weight, he should be returned the
winner if j. Sullivan rides.
Cazador is a slow beginner, and as
there is no early speed in the race he
should be close up at the finish.
Decimo and liildoe should fight It
out for the show money
Maiden -year-olds will face the
barrier in the second, and as there Is
a large field, riders and racing luck
will have a lot to do in the end
Hammer Away, a good Hamburg colt,
will have Buchanan up and as he is a
good post rider 1t is safe to say he
will get his mount off and might lead
his field all the way.
Astraea has been knocking at the
door and with Swain riding she will
have an excellent chance. Elevation
looks to hold the balance safe.
Freesias will probably have McDan-
icls in the saddle in the third race She
