TEMBLOR EXPERT
ON THE STAND
Why this enormous patronage ?

The relation of earthquakes to
claims against fire insurance companies
having an earthquake clause in their
policies was discussed in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday by Gar
ret McEnerney, counsel for Thomas I.
Bergin. and T. C. Van Ness, attorney
for the Commercial Union Assurance
Company. Limited. of London.
Bergin is trying to recover $500 on
a policy for the loss of his building at
211-213 California street, and the COM
pany refuses to pay because its policy
provides that it would be responsible
for all loss or damage caused by fire,
except caused directly or Indirectly by
earthquake"
Professor j. C. Branner of Stanford
University testified for the defense,
giving the jury information on the
causes, effects and general unseemly
behavior of Californian quakes and
other temblors. He said that earth
tremors were classified as ranging in
intensity from one to ten points, and
that the temblor of April IS varied
from Y to az points on this PENN
sula Branner was called because the
court and jury, several of whom had
been shaken and burned out of house
and home We're not allowed to take
prejudicial notice or to assume that
there had been an earthquake on the
date mentioned. and it was necessary
to prove that fact by one or more wit
nesSes.
McEnerney objected to any evidence
regarding the classification of the
earthquake or it's general effect. He
could not see how the earthquake could
be responsible for the burning of Ber-
gins house.
Van Ness then unfolded his defense.
He had Herman Schussler, chief en-
gineer of the Spring Valley Water
Works, and several officers of the Fire
Department present. ready to swear
that the earthquake broke the water
mains, this preventing any successful
action toward staying the progress of
the fire. IF the mains had not been
broken" said Schussler. 'the fire could
have been eXtinguished before 1T
reached Bergins house"
McEnerney said that that line of
reasoning was as fallacious to con-
tend that if the earthquake caused
brick to fall upon the head of a work
man, thus preventing him from turning
in an alarm of fire. the earthquake
would be responsible for the damage
done by the fire. He argued that the
breaking of the water mains and the
shortage of the water supply was mere
ly the absence of prevention and not
the cause of the confiagration.
Judge Whitson will pass upon the
point today.

we can take an Asiatic and make him our
equal. The Asiatic considers us the inferior
race. If nterminging of the races Is allowed
in the end one level viii obtan--it will either
be the white or Asatic level. The race ques-
tion Is as old as civilization itself.
Macarthur gave a minute account
of the bringing of Chinese to this coun-
try to build overland railroads. and fol-
lowed closely all the Legislation which
has been necessary to curb Chinese i'm
migration. Continuing he said:
The Chinese question has ceased TO trouble.
but another and graver problem has sprung up
the influx of the japanese. The Japanese la
borers are arriving in San Francisco at the
rate of 1000 a month. This does not take into
account those who hockng over our southern
border or those finding their way into this
country from British Columbia. This number Is
ever increasing and this fact should he Sufh-
client to stir us 10 taking all necessary steps
to stop its progress. The State of California
will become an annex of the japanese empire
inside of twenty-five years If tho influx Is not
Ocean the Hawaiian Islands, which entirely
dominated by the Japanese. On the authority
of the Bureau of Labor Of the Government |
make this statement. White mechanics have
been driven from thef islands to the mainland
by japanese. II is inevitable that unless this
influx he stopped inside of twenty-five years
Callfornians will be driven away from this land.
Times are good, work Is plentiful. When
industrial conditions change and work becomes
into conflict if both are soil. Then
there is no saying what the end will be. The
passage OF legislation Is the most peaceful
method of DrDcedure.

About the Hair.

Georgia Street-If the hair is to be kept in good condition 1t Is absolutely neces- sary not only to brush it with clean brushes and great regularity, but eel tainly once in two weeks to give 1t thorough shampooing so that every par ticle of dust may be removed from 1t. The soft, fluffy look of the hair and its beautiful gloss after having been sham pooed shows how grateful it is for the treatment given it. The best way to cleapse the scalp and the hair is to use hot water made "soap suddy' with tar soap; use a nail brush upon which the soap has been rubbed to scrub the scalp thoroughly, and after every part of the scalp has been washed rinse the hair and head with baths of water, the first being the temperature of that used for wash ing the hair, and the last ordinarily cool.
 To get such a bath for the head 1t only is necessary to hold ones head over the basin and have the water from a small pitcher poured over it. Each bath neces- sitates the wringing out of the hair until 1t is quite free from the soap suds, and until the water Is as clear as before 1t went over the head. When the hair is shampooed it is wise to put on loose wrapper that cannot be injured either by water or soap. The use of the fan is not advisable in drying the hair, 1t has been found to give many women severe colds, nor is the rubbing of loose Turk ish toweling recommended for the hair, since it is apt to leave fluffs of white cot ton all through it. but for the first rub ping use a thick, hard Turkish towel, and after that rub the hair and the head with ordinary towels, which have been made hot for this purpose. You will be sur prised to see how quickly and comfortably the hair dries. Do not put the hair up untilit is perfectly dry. or it will remain damp for a long time and have close. moldy and altogether undesirable smell about it. Use as few hairpins as yoa possbly can.

Timely Hints.

Do not bathe when tired, hungry or immediately after eating This especially applies to the tub bath

Eaa Shampoo.

c. E. L.-Shampoo the hair every two weeks with an egg shampoo made as fol- lows: To every well beaten egg add one ounce of water and the juice of one lemon, rub it well into the scalp and hair, rinse in warm water several times, then cool, dry thoroughly and massage the scalp for five minutes, and apply this tonic. Each night apply the tonic and massage for five minutes:

HeInful Exerclse.

D. D.-Suitable forms of exercise are walking-preferably on a slight gradient at first; later, in a hily district-riding and gymnastics. Cold bathing, provided it agrees is beneficial.
 Among exercises especially for women fencing may be instanced. Its effect in reducing weight and preserving the figure is very marked.
 Sluggish action of the liver, and intes- tines will be the rule rather than the ex- ception with those who find it expedient to have recourse to drinking a small quantity of aperient mineral water on two or three mornings of each week.

Little Helps.

When you stand, stand squarely upon both feet with your weight resting evenly upon your heels and your toes-which are built to support your weight When you are tired shift for a moment to the balls of your feet, but do not try to stand that way.
 Never rest on enc foot It will make your hips uneven and your dressmaker will begin to tell you that one hip is larger than the other.
 If you have one large hip you can cor rect it by resting habitua1ly upon the other foot, which will develop the other hip.

Facial Massane.

B. B. B.-Many women give a great deal of time and scientific attention to facial massage, but do not seem to realize that the ears should also be included, as they lose their pink, delicate freshness with time which to preserve requires equal attention with that given the face. Use the tips of the fingers and gently massage the ears. This will have the effect of stimulating the circulation and the nerves. It also prevents shriveling of the soft lobe of the ear and maintains or restores the shell-like pink which is the mark of beautiful and youthful ears

Evelyn F.-Ten bath bags can be used very nicely for face and body. Follow ing is the recipe: Take four pounds of fine oatmeal, two quarts of clean bran, one and one-half pounds of the best pow dered orris root, one and one-half pounds almond meal, one pound of best white castillo soap (powdered) and three ounces of primrose sachet. Mix and keep in a glass jar, filling little cheeseclth bags as needed. They make delightful cleans ing lather, giving a soft velvetness to the skin and whitening the surface. The best method of keeping the skin clean and healthy Is, everybody knows, by ablution and baths, using soft water and an emol- lient soap. But in addition friction is a most valuable agent.
