MILK AGITATION
HURTS BUSINESS
William Moore of Dairymen's
Association Says Families
Use Canned Goods

That the recent exposure of insani-
tary conditions in the dairies that sup
ply San Francisco with milk has had
the effect of hurting the dairy busi-
ness very seriously was the statement
made by William Moore of the dairy
mems association yesterday at an in
formal meeting of the milk improve
ment association in California Club
hall Moore stated that hundreds of the
patrons of various dairies, alarmed at
the reports that have been circulated
concerning the infection and impurity
of the milk. and unable individually
TO investigate the question, have solved
the problem in many cases by simply
stopping the use of fresh milk in any
way. Wherever it was possible canned
milk, with its guarantee of purity. has
been substituted. with the result. ac-
cording to Moore, of a serious loss to
the dairies. good and bad, of the city
and suburbs.
This Is one more reason, in the eyes
Of the association. why paid inspector
should be had without delay, so that
sanitary dairies will be credited with
clean milk and proper conditions, and
other dairies gradually improved or
forced out 1t is thought that the re-
ports Of the proposed inspector will
also have an effect on the board of
health in making them see the value of
the inspection, and viii furnish the
householder with a guarantee of purity

DIVORCED COUPLE SHAKE
HANDS BEFORE PARTING
Frank and Margaret German
Say Goodby After Decree
Is Si1ned

Although Judge Graham failed in his
endeavor to effect a reconciliation be-
tween Frank German and Margaret
German. an old couple, he succeeded
in inducing them 10 shake hands after
an interiocutory decree of divorce had
been granted the husband.
You two may never see one another
again. so shake hands before you leave
court" en3oined the Judge as he signed
the decree. German Immediately ap-
preached his ex-wife with outstretched
hand. She at first hesitated and turned
away from him, but at the judges
urging she accepted the handclasp Of
German. The divorce was granted on
the ground Of desertion. Mrs. German
first filed suit. but the husband showed
that she left him two years ago Cor

ELECTRICIANS WILL
SACRIFICE SALARY
w. r. Hewitt Asks Men to Make
Up Deficit, but Doesn't
Set Example
Eleven Are Discharged From
City Department Because of
Lack of Funds

without himself setting the example,
W. r. Hewitt, chief of the department
of electricity of the city has called
upon many of his men to sacrifice four
days pay in order that deficit in the
appropriation for salaries in the de-
partment may be made up. The chief
makes a defense that he has only asked
those men whose salaries have recently
been raised to forego part of their
meager stipend, and he. he declares, did
not profit by a raise. He has discharged
IL men of the department, he says,
that the money appropriated may last
throughout the fiscal year.
The supervisors appropriated $4,000
for the salaries of employees of the de-
partment of electricity for the fiscal
year That sum is to be expended un-
der the one twelfth act, making the
monthly salary appropriation S4,16666
Hewitt did not reduce his force until
the first of August, as the limited ap-
preparation was not made until July 20
A deficit of $431 was incurred in July.
To recover the lost ground, Hewitt
has called upon 35 employees of his de-
partment to voluntarily surrender four
days pay. AS the inspectors and clerks
receive, on an average. but $110 a
month they objected to cutting down
their incomes. particularly as Hewitt
who received a much larger salary, had
refused to set an example to his men.
Considerable hard feeling against their
chief has resulted. Hewitt said his pay
is fixed by the charter, but so is the
wages of his men The men will meet
the emergency by foregoing their pay,
it is said. for if they do not there is a
possibility that they may not receive
their salaries until October

INFORMAL RECITAL
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Miss Anita Parker Gives En-.
tertainment on Return From
Boston
Plans to Repeat Catchy Pros
gram at Mill Valley Next
Saturday Night
By Walter Anthony

Miss Anita Parker, just returned from
eight months study in Boston, gave
an informal recital last night at
Cloyne Court hotel in Berkeley. Her
teacher. Anna Miller, Wood, was her
accompanist The two presented a de-
hghtfuily cosy program. 1t contained
no high towering music, and it left
opera and the conventionalities of
song alone IT was a Boston program,
made up Of the compositions OF Foote,
William Arms Fisher, Manney, Whelp-
ley MacDowen and Stern; and the
young singer Immediately esta ablished
a footing of familiarity and comfort
able comraderie with her hearers, who,
in their turn, encored and appreciated
the lyricism OF Miss Parker.
Possessed OF a soprano voice of ap-
parent range-though her songs did
not tax it-and fexibility. Miss Parker
has something else 10 commend her
present work and render certain her
future; that is, she has spirit and a
sanely musical temperament She is
sure OF herself and there are no lapses
In intonation nor distorting of rythms
in her singing. Her voice is clear and
well produced; her study with the Bos-
ton contraltO has brought out a grow
ing fullness Of power, which she does
not abuse. There is always apparently
reserve Of strength and volume.
AkeQ pest ner MacDOWel song.
Thy Besming Eyes, and Whelpley's
The Nightingale has a Lyre of Gold. -
Her climax in the last-a simple ca
dence il was, too-was big in its sim
plicity and fervor. If a quality be lack
ing in her voice it might be said to
he that OF warmth. II is not a Latin
throat that Miss Parker possesses.
Musicianship. however. ana a genuine
feeling for the poetry Of her songs
atone for the shortcomings in the mat
ter OF sensuous beauty of tone.
For an encore she sang Arthur
Foote's Pm Wearing Away. Jean" 1t
is "A simple Scotch ballad in folk tune
style, and she sang il with deep feel
ing and clean articulation. Her teacher
should feel proud at the progress her
talented pupil has made in few short
months.
urday night at Mill Valley and will
repeat the program she sang so well
last night Mill Valley is in for a
treat Saturday night.
Listening 10 Miss Parker last night
were several girl friends who with her
formed a sort of California colony in
Boston, all being pupils of Miss Woods.
The recital was thus a musicale and a
reception
After a few more weeks Of vacation
Miss Parker viii leave her Mill Valley
home for another season of study in
Boston She viii be heard from, I am
sure, as another California girl who has
succeeded in the bewilderingly fasci-
mating realm of music.

suit in the justices court brought

IRON DEALERS ASK
LOW FREIGHT RATE
Merchants Association Wants
Railroads to Make Special
Charges on Raw Materials
Can Not Compete Otherwise
With Eastern Structural
Material Concerns

The structural steel and iron dealers
of San Francisco face a grave situa-
tion and fear is entertained by the
merchants association that unless the
present conditions under which the
steel and iron is shipped to this city
are bettered the local dealers will be
crushed by the competing eastern man
ufacturers. This fear has stirred the
association to action, and within the
next few days letters will be mailed to
architects, contractors and the owners
of vacant properties asking them to
favor wherever possible, the local
dealers.
According to officers OF the associa-
tion the greatest hardship is worked
upon the local dealer by the railroads
which do not allow a differentfal in
favor of the raw material. The claim
was made that if it were possible for
the local dealer to obtain raw material
on lower freight rate than is granted
the eastern manufacturer on a finished
product, the San Francisco manufac-
turers would, without difficulty, be able
TO meet any price that might be made
for the furnishing of materials in San
Francisco.
In the letter which will be mailed to
those engaged in the building industry
the assertion will be made that at the
next railroad conference such influence
will be brought to bear upon the rail-
roads that a differential will be granted
but until such time, if the San Fran
cisco steel and iron industries are to
prosper and continue in existence, the
local dealers must be given the pref
erence over the eastern shippers.
The matter of giving preference to
the eastern shippers over the local
dealers by the railroads has been taken
up by the California metal trades asso-
citation and after an exhaustive investi-
cation officials of that organization
have determined that it costs the local
dealer as much to get his raw material
from the east as it does for the men to
bring out their finished product
