their attractiveness to the way they

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

AND BUTTER
TAKE 4 FALL

The sudden sharp advance in whole
sale prices of butter and eggs and the
Incidental increase in the cost OF these
staples to consumers, as announced
Monday, met with a check yesterday.
The demand fell OF to such an eX-
tent when prices went up that retail
storekeepers quickly came to the con-
clusion that it would not be good busi-
ness policy to handle these goods while
rates were so high. Accordingly the
great majority of puveyors to the
family pantry refused to purchase
freely until market conditions became
less chaotic. Although the market was
almost as slenderly supplied yesterday
as on Monday, prices at wholesale took
sharp drop. the decline being the di-
rect result Of the apathy offretail mer-
chants.
Eggs lost 13 of the Is cents gained on
the preceding day and butter was sew
eral cents lower. Although retail
prices will drop eventually. it may be
several days before the decline is felt
by the general buying public.

district had been cleared of all known
resorts, but he asserted that women
established themselves in lodging
houses and that it required extended

CONTROLLER EXPLODEs
An overcrowded trolley car using the
ma ximum of power to climb the Ellis
street hill, from Laguna street to Oc-
tavia, at a few minutes past s o'clock
suddenly came to a halt with a terrific
explosion. Nearly every pane of glass
in the car was broken, and part of
the roof and front OF the car blown out
The controller box was blown to atoms,
the metal flying in every direction, mar
rowly missing the motOrman and pas
sengers The car was crowded to it's
limit, a panic followed and ii was this
that caused seven persons to be injured.
Passengers climbed through the win
doWs in endeavor to escape from the
smoking car, and many were thrown
from their seats on the outside of the
coach
Fortunately the explosion forced the
metal covering of the controller
through the forward window of the
car and not backward or to the sides.
This undoubtedly accounts for the fact
that many were not killed. ]. +. Hill
