Shippers Will
Make Appeal

Coast shippers will appeal from
the rates imposed by the interstate
commerce commission in the Spo-
kane rate case. 1t Is said the
new rates will increase rates to
the coast instead of decreasing the
rates to Spokane. Clothing for
instance, 1t is cited, will come
through for 1910 hereafter when
1t was SO before.
Secretary Jay McCune of the
Tacoma transportation bureau
says the trouble with the inter-
state commerce commission is IL
recognized water competition in
rates on the coast and then tried
to give Spokane, an inland town
400 miles back, the benefit of that
competition.

School Board
Cuts Its Levy

The school board yesterday fixed
its tax levy for next year at
4.15 mills. 1t was 5.15 last year.
The reduction is made possible
largely because of the fact that
the people voted nearly a million
dollars of bonds for the board to
use in the erection of new school
houses so nothing had to be levied
for this purpose this year.

Eos substitutes In Great Britain.


An American firm making an egg
substitute desires information as to
the opening for its sale In Great
Britain. This article is already sold
more extensively In this country than
in the United States. II is OF British
manufacture and is sold by almost
every grocery. One brand OF egg pow
der sells at eight to sixteen cents per
tin according to size, and another at
eight to fourteen cents. or eleven
cents per dozen small packets. There
is also a product called Ego which is
stated to consist Of new laid eggs in
the form Of powder which is retailed
at twenty.three cents per carton. The
substitutes referred to are not sold
through agents, but directly by the
makers to the various retail stores
and grocers; they are we'll known and
widely used. There Is no duty on the
importation OF egg substitutes into
Great Britain provided sugar does not
form component part; when 1t does
duty is assessed according to the
proportion and polarization ascer-
tanned by test.

FORTUNE IN HIS LUCKY COIN
Pocket Piece, Carried by Man for So
Years, Proves to Be Worth
$1,000.

The grimly humorous goddess OF for
tunes good and Ill never wrought for
the heroes OF Scheherazade or a
Hans Anderson a stranger trick than
that by which she recently thrust a
fortune into the pocket of an unsus-
pecting grocer's clerk Of Los Angeles.
He is Charles l.. Cross, a clerk for
Frank A. Vale. a grocer of South
Main street. For nearly fifty-five years
he has carried as lucky pocket piece
a silver half dollar of the same date
as the year of his birth, 1858.
And II has justified his faith in its
luckiness at last, for from being mere
ly battered and war worn four bit
piece OF ancient vintage and doubtful
beauty It has suddenly leaped to rel
atively enormous value as the second
known coin OF that date In existence.
twenty-five hundred dollars was re-
fused with scorn by the owner OF the
only other 1853 half dollar known to
exist-rated a. the most valuable coin
now In the exhibit OF the American
Numismatic association in Chicago.
There are few Individual coins OF
greater value by record OF their rarity
than the 1853 half dollar, even the his
toric dollar OF 1904 taking back seat
when It comes 10 relative scarcity.
More than half century ago IN his
native town of Niles, Mich, the coin
was given to Cross as a birthday pres
ent because II was struck OF in the
same year of his birth. II went into
the pocket of young Charles first pair
of pants and in his trousers pocket 1t
has remained ever since.
Cross is now fifty-eight years old
and his life has not always been an
easy one. He has seen the time when
his lucky piece was silent In bis pock-
ct because there was not even q penny
there to Jingle with It. There have
been times when he has taken the
four bits from it's resting place and
was about to sacrifice h for itS equiv
alent In bread and beans because, sx-
cspt for 1t, he was absolutely dead
broke, hungry and without where to
lay his head.
There has always been in the back
of his head the whimsical idea that it
would some time bring him luck. And
1t has brought him luck.

Brains and Hair.

A very momentous question has
arisen: Does a woman's hair reduce
her brain power? Experts are busy
disagreeing on the point, which is, OF
course, the particular function of ex-
perts. The principal of girls school
says that in every case where the
younger girls have had their hair cut
short their brains have been rendered
more capable Of sustained effort. A
doctor and a schoolmaster, however,
scout the idea, perhaps because they
have never had upon the tops Of their
heads a heat generating mass Of hair.

of her hair, wherever it is placed,
while schoolgirls have either a heavy

mass of hair, which is equally hot.

small girls will have short hair, just
as they wear knickerbocker suits to
