Pulling Teeth in China

The native Chinese dentist does not like
his American or his European brother,
show an array of glittering instruments
to remind the patient of the ordeal that
is in store for him, says the Philadelphia
Record. The Chinese performs all his
tooth drawing with his thumb and fore
finger
Such is the skill which long practice
gives him that, it is said, with these sim
pie means he can extract half a dozen
teeth in as many minutes. During the
operation his fingers are not. once re-
moved from the patients mouth.
The Celestial dentist must undergo a
long course of training before he may
experiment upon human being. His
first work consists of the drawing out
with his fingers of pegs that have been
pressed into soft wood. Then he is tried
with series of tasks that are made
more and more difficult, until at last he is
able to draw out hard pegs that have
been driven into an oak plank with a
mallet
1t is contended that no human jaw can
resist the delicate but powerful pressure
of the fingers of the Chinese dentist.

MORRIS AVENUE
BUSINESS BRISK
Cooler Weather Having
Bracing Effect on Trade
in General

Business on Morris avenue opened
quite briskly yesterday morning. The
continued heat has had slackeing ef-
feet on trade, but Monday was an ideal
summer day and the merchandise pros
pered accordingly.
1t is said that practically all the
vegetables in and around Birmingham
have been dried up by the hot
weather. The demand in vegetables
and produce is brisk and the supply
Will soon be exhausted. Local truck
farms being practically exhausted, the
price is inclined to rise and the ad-
vance will be sharply defined. Lem
ons are now more plentiful than for
some time past, and the price has
been reduced to $S@S.50 a box.
In the poultry market business is
quite brisk and the supply is larger
than for some weeks past. Hens were
yesterday reduced to 1S1a@14 cents.
The snappy demand keeps the prices
fact that an unprecedented number
of hens are being received. The mar
ket keeps moving and fresh coops
are seen every day. Practically all of
the dealers dispose of their holdings
and it is rare that one lot is kept for
more than two orr three days.
Grain and feedstuffs are in normal
condition. Prices are almost stationary
and the demand is good. The supply Is
we'll abreast of the demand.

pistnl Porkef Skirfs

We don't know. OF course-mere man
can't be expected to--but we have q
fear that the innovation of the pistol
pocket in the tailor made skirts of
charming woman will not be popular.
says the Rocky Mountain News Not
that the idea has come out of Chicago.
where art is short and notions in dress
are wont to be dangerously extrava-
giant, both ways. but that il Is OF such
daring originality that the gentle aud
timid of the opposite sex will fight shy
of 1t. The National Ladies Tallors and
Dressmakers convention Is responsible
for the latest PRONUNCIATION of fashion.
Innovation in female apparel is the life
of that organization, against which
every married man who has the bills
to foot has chonic and justihable
crouch.
The pistol pocket skirt should be the
correct thing across the water. where
there is prime necessity for it in the
ranks of the militant suffrag gettes.
Those ardent and arduous ladies' take
to pistol pockets like ducks to water.
With such an addition to the curves
and lines of fashionable skirts they
won't need to lug around the bulky
and cumbersome dynamite bomb, and
they can relegate the cobblestone of
destruction to limbo. A neat, new,
straight shoot .22 or .3S will fill all
the requirements of war. In individual
cases and with accurate aim 1t Will get
surer results

FEAR OF BLACK RUST
HAS BULLISH EFFECT
Wheat Firm at Net Adj
vance of lie to
1-2@5-Sc

Chicago, July 2L-Renewed fear of black
rust damage had a bullish effect today on
wheat Closing prices were firm at net
advance of 19c to ls@ssc. Corn gained
1ql1sc to 1hc and oats 1sassc to sc. In
provisions the outcome varied from un-
changed prices to an upturn of 221ae.
Wheat traders gave earnest attention
TO the opinion of a leading expert that
under easily possible conditions late wheat
In the Dakotas and Minnesota would show
heavy losses. lie declared that unless
there was cool weather with wind the
rust would develop rapidly this week.
Other authorities sent word of signs that
the fungus, already noticeable in many
sections of South Dakota, would spread
to the north. Active export demand kept
the wheat market from any important set
back, Notwithstanding an INCREASE in the
visible supply total and despite huge pri-
mary receipts, 2,423O0O bushels, against
1,6S5,000 year ago.
Drenching rains were said TO be injur-
ing crops In Russia, Germany and Hol-
land and world shipments were only mod
crate.
Seaboard clearanees OF wheat and flour
equalled $4,000 bushels
Lively speculative buying carried corn
up grade. Receipts were light and advices
were at hand showing great deal OF
damage had been done by drought and
heat in the western part of the belt be-
yond the Missouri river. December shorts
covered freely.
Oats rose chiefly because of the meager-
ness of offerings. Yields were said to be
running low. Provisions rallied owing to
strength of corn. Weakness which
ruled at first was due to more liberal re-
ceipts of hogs

COTTON MARKET
MODERATELY HEAVY
Drop in Temperatures Over
the South Responsible.
Close Steady

New York. July 21.-With a sudden drop
in temperatures over the entire cotton
belt on Sunday and heavy showers in
parts of the south Atlantic states, the
cotton market developed moderate heavi-
ness today and closed steady at net de-
cline of 8 to p points.
The opening. which was steady and Z
to II points lower. reflected in some de-
gree the weakness at Liverpool, which
at the hour of the local opening was
about to points lower than due. hay
ing been Influenced by the disappearance
of high temperatures over the belt Of
ferings were quite liberal, and included
good deal of the cotton bought by
local traders at the close of last week
on the hot weather scare. These were
fairly well absorbed, however and as
there semed to be some conflict of opln-
Ion in private advioes from Texas to the
state of the crop there, new buying from
Wall street and Liverpool sources re-
lieved the market of pressure and prices
recovered about half of their early loss
According to some authorities, the Texas
crop has been injured by the recent dry
not weather and fears are expressed that
lne heaVy showers in sections of the
eastern belt following so closely on the
record breaking heat of last week, may
cause shedding This gave encourage
ment to local bulls and the market acted
quite steady throughout midday and up
TO the last half hour when selling of
october credited to spot houses checked
the Improvement and produced a mod
crate setback AS freely predicted on
saturday the detailed weather reports
showed a continuation of extraordinary
hlgh temperatures in the central and
eastern belts up to the clase of last week
but indicated drop of 10 to 20 points
In the maximums on Sunday. Aside from
scattered showers however. there was
no rain and many private advlces from
the western belt said the crop would
suner unless the dry spell was soon brolS-
en-. 1t was admitted, nevertheless, that
the dry weather had minimized the boil
weeYil damage and some took the view
that this more than offset up to the
present time any drawback that may
nave occurred in Texas through drouth.

STEADY TONE ON
MODERATE BUYING
Cotton Threatens to Make
Full Recovery From
the Decline

New Orleans. July 21.-Improvement in
weather conditions over the belt held the
cotton market down today, but while Of
ferings We're freer. the short side was not
aggressive and In the afternoon the mar
ket had very steady tone on moderate
buying and threatened to make full re-
covery from the decline This buying ap-
peared to come from covering shorts as
much as it did from bullish traders, who
were taking the long side.
The weather reports noted considerable
rain over the belt and falling tempera-
lures, and the forecast promised more1ain
in the eastern belt and in the southern
sections of Texas and Louisiana. The alb
sence of general rains caused the bulls
taken place In the crop situation Many
bales of new cotton were reported at va
rious points in Texas and rumor had it
that bale of new cotton mad been ginned
at Selma. These reports of new cotton
did not cause free selling, because of the
claim by the bulls that buyers were eager
ly buying ahead all the cotton likely to
come into sight this month.
The market opened steady at a decline
of to points on poor cables and the
weather map. In the early trading the
decline was widened to to points on
the new crops. This was the low of the
day. In the afternoon prices worked up to

HEAVY TRADING IN
THELEAD|NG ISSUES
Steel, Union Pacific, Read
ing and Amalgamated
Rise a Point

New York, July 21.-with frequent pc
riods of inactivity the stock market to-
day resumed the upward movement inau-
gurated last week. Practically all market
leaders rose to points on heavy trad
ing in United States Steel, Union Pa
cfic, Reading and Amalgamated. These
stocks, as usual, comprised the bulk of
the days operations, but trading as a
whole was broader than for several weeks
The notable exception to the upward
movement was Wells Fargo. which sold
down to par, the lowest in 20 years.
News of the day was of the usual diver
sifed character, including developments
in the Balkans, which impaired firmness
to London and Paris, while Berlin dis
played nervousness over Turkeys reported
intention to reoccupy Adrianople. London
and the continent were buyers here, prob
ably of 25,OOo shares, principally Steel,
Union Pacific and Amalganated. Private
advices from Rio De Janeiro pointed to
extreme financial tension in Brazil
Union Pacific's preliminary statement
for 1928 was the outstanding feature
The estimated surplus shows earnings
equivalent to 1906 per cent on the COM
mon stock without including the fourth
quarterly rividend on Southern Pacific.
which would increase the surplus to 1894
per cent, compared with 1887 per cent
the previous year. Baltimore and Ohio
also submitted a eredltable report for the
same period.
Railroad tonnage in the middle west was
lighter last week, and further curtailment
of business was reported Money rates
west and southwest are quotably higher
in contrast to local conditions, where
greater ease was shown.
Bonds were generally higher with an in
crease of business. United States and
As and Panama 3s declined 4 per cent

gated $l,530,Oo0.
