WONDER HORST IN
EAST ON BUSINESS
Secretary of Company Accounts
for Presidents Absence

Harry R. Wonder Horst, q well known
contractor of this city and president of
the Wonder Horst Brothers company
who was reported 20 have nysterious1y
disappeared from his offices in the Mac
donough building several days ago. is
in Baltimore, and according to George
A Davies, secretary of the company.
there is no mystery attached to his
absence
He is in Baltimore in the interests
of his brothers estate, which he is now
trying to settle said Davies last night.
The reports that efforts to locate him
had been futile were not true. Had |
been consulted l could have explained
his absence. 1t is true that the office
of the company has been closed for a
couple of weeks while 1 was in Salt
Lake, but that is no sign that Wonder
Horst has mysteriously disappeared.
His accounts are all right. Why,
he is rated as being worth at least a
quarter of million dollars. In re-
gard to the Stockton contract we have
not been able to finish that on account
of the delay of the contractors for the
mill work. We have the contract to
do the plastering and can not do it un-
til the mill work has been set
Davies acknowledged that the firm
had been tied up to a certain extent
on account of not being able to work
its men. owing to climatic conditions
both here and in Salt Lake City, but
added that the firm could and would
pay all its creditors dollar for dollar.

new PARAGON SHOP
IS TRULY MODERN
Mahogany Tables and Chairs
Make Store Look Like a
Reception Room
Silk, Linen and Fancy Waists
Carefully Selected to Please
FastidiOus Women

San Francisco has a shop where the
business Of selling waists ie made an
art and where the economy of time and
temper is proved to be the distinc-
tion. of the truly modern store There
are no dusty counters to soil the ex-
uuisite fabric of the white waist, for
the mahogany tables with their baize
surfaces have taken the place of the
old fashioned means of display There
are no boxes piled high on the tables.
for the spacious mahogany cupboards
have displaced the time worn rows OF
paper boxes. In fact there is nothing
to be desired in the way of furnishing
the new Paragon shop at the corner
of Geary street and Grant avenue. The
mahogany tables and chairs give the
effect of a reception room and the
pretty furnishings, all in harmony
make an admirable setting for the
collection of attractive waists.
MANY STYLES FOR WOMEN
The shop is said to be the largest
exclusive waist shop Tin the United
States and the care In the selection
of the stock is the first noticeable d1I-
ference between the modern artistic
shop and the old fashioned medley OF
| i'll assorted goods. The silks, In all
| the favorite shades of the season, have
| been chosen with great discernment.
and even the black waists present a
notable variety in lace, net, messaline.
| taffeta and crepe de chine The linens
will tempt many a dainty maid and
matron during the early summer, when
| the linen waists are selected for the
wardrobe. There is a variety of linens
| that seldom If ever appears in the store
! for the shoppers selection There are
plain linens, with the fancy crepons
and marquisettes, that will attract the
who shop during the Lenten season.
DELIGHT FOR wOMEN's EYES
The feminine eye will linger with
| delight upon the array OF fancy waists
| at the Paragon, for the skillful man.
! ayers of this modern store have chosen
| their stock with the success that comes
with long experience and a knowledge
| of the exclusive demand. The white
waists. with the embroidery of silver
and gold. or the pretty threads of vari-
| coIored silk, will find ready market
among women noted for their harmony
| of costume, for these waists are es-
pecially designed to match suits and
gowns.
There is one waist with an em.
| broidery of violets that few womer
would care to resist, and another with
the palest pink roses, while scores OF
others have distinctive styles of their
own and exclusive designs in en-
broidery on the pretty yoke. The al
| white waists are a delight to those whC
! prefer that scheme rather than the
colors. but the display is open for those
! who would choose according to theil

POISON IN CARTOONS
DISTURBS TYPISTS
Illness Caused by Manifold
Sheets Attributed to Poor
Quality OF Paper
Young Women Say They Never
Heard of a Similar Case,
but Will Be Careful

The knowledge that grave danger to
health lay in the constant handling Of
carbon paper came as shock yester-
day to the many typists and stenog-
raphers employed in San Francisco 1t
was revealed through the serious ILL
ness of Miss Elizabeth Rowe. whose
system had been poisoned as the result
of IS months employment in the Ala
media county hall Of records where she
used thousands of manifold sheets
every week. The young woman is now
at her home IN Reno. New. under the
care of a physician.
Local stenographers were inclined
to agree with physicians that the all
ment had been contracted through a
scratch or abrasion. 1t is the first case
Of the kind that has come under the
notice of the medical fraternity about
the bay.
Several young women employed in
San Francisco have handled hundreds
of carbon sheets daily and have felt no
Ill effects. One OF them, Miss Mae Law
renee. expressed the opinion that either
an inferior brand of paper had been
used or that Miss Rowe was peculiarly
susceptible to poison.
This certainly is a most peculiar

yesterday in her Offices IN the Mer-

never felt any III effects" And Miss
Lawrence exhibited two hands plenti-
fully smeared with the carbon dust
Il have noticed occasionally that.
after heavy days work with the
carbon paper my hands will smart. but
1 did not attribute that to the paper,
1t is possible that Miss Rowe handled
an inferior brand of carbon. There are
so many brands upon the market and
some of them are so poorly made that
one should be very careful
Il shall suggest to some of the girls
who work with me that they wear
gloves to handle the carbon sheets. II

Miss Marion Walcott. who also has
Offices in the Merchants Exchange
building, said that she had always
taken precautions. but had never heard
that there was any grave danger in
using the carbon.

SOUTHERN DEALERS
PLAN A ROAD RACE
Special Features Will Be Offered
During July and August
By K. r. PHommedieu

The Automobile Dealers association
of southern California will. according To
present outlook, hold 'an automobile
road race some time during July. and
August. Special advantages are ofere,
by a three legged course about II miles
long, near Toluca- From grandstand
erected on the San Fernando road the
racers could be watched for five miles
Another good point about the course is
that it is isolated, ami ii would be easy
TO secure this course at all times fOT
practice. Admission could also be
charged for the grandstand and park
ing stations. The road is OF soil that
could be constructed into fine road
and this course could be made per
