YOUNG MIILIONAIRE
SPENDS NIGHT IN JAIL
(By United Press Leased wire.)


K Redwood City, Cal, Jan. 10
When John d. Spreckels, Jr.. son OF
the multi-milloinaire, opened his eyes
today and stretched. his gaze fell on
barren prison walls instead of his
own luxurious quarters.
Spreckels went into court yester-
day with pocket full of money, ex-
pedting to pay a fine for being found
guilty Of not dimming his automobile
headlights. But Justice of the Peace
George Seeley concluded that two
days in the lookup was far more
punishment than a fine for a rich
young man.

OLD LADY MURDERED
At OAKLAND, CAL,

Oakland. Cal, Jan. 15.--IMrs. Mar
garet Gerber. 10 years old, whose
body was inclnerated in q one-story
cottage at Elmhurst last night. was
murdered and not burned to death,
according to the conclusion reached
by local police today. following filing
OF the report Of Patrolman J. T. Null
lin. who discovered the blaze.
Mullin declared the woman was
dead before the flames enveloped her.
After requesting Henry DeWarth to
call the fire department. Mulhn said
he ran TO the cottage and looked In
at an open window, He saw the
woman lying on the floor and repeat
cd calls failed to elicit a response. At
that time the flames had not reach
ed the room where the body lay.
Both the front and rear doors OF
the cottage were locked. and a mans
footprints were found in the garden
around the house. 1t is the theory
Of the police that the house was fred
to hide the crime. though no motive
for numbering Mrs. Gerber is found.
Sacramento, Jan. 15.--The Oak
land tragedy struck terrible blow
to Elmo Sullivan. foreman OF the
composing room Of the Star, today
when. while reading proof. he was
shocked to learn that It told OF the
death OF his mother.
The story was that OF the inciner-
alton Of Mrs. Margaret Gerber at
Elmhurst. Mrs. Gerber was the d.
vorced wife Of Assistant State Print
er Daniel Sullivan. They separated
15 years ago and the wife was re-
married to Gerber.
Relatives here can give no clew to
any possible murderer.

CONSIDER THE PHL0x
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

Even moralists tell us that there Is
an element In all mankind that leads
to the enjoyment Of speculation and
chance. For the qualification Of this
instinct l do not know any more In.
teresting study than the phlox when
one resorts to seeds for the growth OF
plants. OF course. the staid regular
garden worker will resort to cuttings,
because no one can guess, even ap,
proximately, what will come from the
seed venture.
But there is lot OF fun in taking
the seeds and watching the results.
They may be anything, from perversa
and wayward floral child to the light
of the garden when II is left to first
principles for Its start in life.
The phlox Drummondi is the first
parent Of the family. 1t was found
growing wild In Texas back in 1884,
ana since that time 1t has grown In
popularity. Essentially garden flow.
er, 1t fully Justifies the use OF the
Greek name because 1t Is literally q
flame of light. There is no question
but that 1t is far better for having
been planted in the fall. At the first
hint of spring 1t will start its growth.
and the hard treatment Of a rough win
ter will not serve to deter 1t In It's de.
termination TO help brighten the world
The one thing that phlox will moi
stand Is heavy clay soil. Planted
along walls and hedges, with borders
and in places where the irregular size
of the plants affords contrast In color,
there is nothing more calculated to add
life TO the garden vista than the simple
phlox.

CHINA SENDS EGGS TO U. S
Product Is Either Frozen or Dried by
American Plant in Shanghai Be-
fore Being Shipped.

Thomas Sammons, Uncle Sans con-
sui general at Shanghai, reports that
an American egg-preserving plant has
recently been completed at Shanghai
and is now handling 100000 eggs daily
The product Is either frozen or dried,
and shipped to the United States at
present via the Pacific Coast. The
frozen product Is divided into three
classes-whole eggs. egg yolks and
whites OF eggs. The dried product
consists of whole eggs and egg yolks
In both instances the eggs are churned
or scrambled" The albumen is large
" used in the manufacture OF candies
In the United States, while there Is a
demand for the frozen product for bak-
cries and hotels.
All the Chinese employees IRE In.
spected by an American physician, and
all are yaccinated. Cleanliness is no.
ticeable on all sides. 1t Is estimated
that the Chinese girls and other EN-.
ployees In this egg plant are paid less
than a quarter Of the wages received
by Americans In American plants Of
similar character. While the Chi.
nese girls will. no doubt, become more
proficient with experience. they are
not yet able to perform as much work
as female labor In similar lines In the
United States. Their present pay Is
approximately IS a month.

.EEGAINS LOST GROUND
American Shipping on Pacific
Makes Spurt Upward.
Uncle Sam Sees In Recent Ship Pur.
chase Change In Conditions Which
Placed Japan in Lead.

Uncle Sam sees turning point 10
the fortunes Of American shipping on
the Pacific in the recent purchase OF
three large ships by the Pacific Mail
Steamship company. An interesting re
port on the subject just made public
by the bureau of foreign and domes
tic commerce says that this pur.
chase adds 17.100 gross tons to tho
5000 tons that remained of American
shipping on the Pacific. Prior to the
war the total American tonnage en-
gagged in this trade was $4,000 gross
tons.
The war has cut down the total ship
ping of all nations engaged In trans.
pacific trade from $4,000 gross tons
TO 2s0,0OO.
Before the war American shipping
comprised 81 per cent Of the total,
British shipping 30 per cent, and
japanese 33 per cent. Up to the time
the recent purchases were made Amer
lean shipping had fallen Off to 2 per
cent, British tonnage had fallen off 30
per cent, japanese tonnage had in.
creased 55 per cent of the total, and
Dutch shipping had jumped from prac-
tically nothing at all to 13 per cent.
A very interesting section of the re.
port is devoted to shipbuilding activi.
ties in Japan and China. japanese
shipyards are taxed to the limit Of
their capacities. Orders for ships
from abroad have been refused. as the
yards have booked orders for japanese
ships that will keep them busy for the
next two years. The builders. how.
ever, are handicapped by lack of ma.
terial, and IL is an interesting fact
that one large shipbulding company
Is buying all of its material from this
country. Boilers, engines, and other
fittings cannot be had at very reason.
able prices, for they cannot be manu-.
factured at home as cheaply as they
can be turned out in the United States
and England. But in spite Of all handi.
caps, Japan is losing no time in TAX.
ing advantage Of the present unpar-
alleled opportunities. Purchases of for
eign ships have been made at very
high prices. The report calls attention
10 the fact that although the keel Of
the first steel vessel was laid In Japan
as late as 1890, the total shipping ton
mage Of the country at the present
time, including the vessels in the colo.
nies. is no less than 2,l5s,0O0 gross
tons.
The Chinese are also busy at their
yards In Shanghai and HOngkong, al
though badly handicapped by scarcity
of materials. One Hongkong company
Is at work on eight ocean freighters
for Norwegian owners. Two more of
similar type will be started as soon
as facilities will permit, and there are
additional contracts for five others.
This company recently voted to In
crease Its capital stock to Sl,500,O00.

Japan Exports Much Cotton Cloth.

George Ii. Skidmore. Uncle Sam's
consul general at Yokohama reports
that Japan's exports of cotton yarn
have shown large increase since the
latter part of last year. According to
the Japan Chronicle, exports Of varl-
GUS cotton cloths during the first half
Of 1915 amounted in value to S23,-
415,072. This figure is unprecedented.
ly large and shows an increase OF s4,-
123. .467 over the amount for the pre-
cedlng six months and $40 0966. .4SS over
that Of the corresponding period last
year. The highest rate Of increase
was seen In the exports to India, fol-
lowed by Siberia. while the exports to
the Philippines decreased by about
one-half as compared with the pre-
ceding half year.

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER
BY [. NJ. BENNINGTON.

Among the most beautiful and salts
factory house plants for winter are
palms. They are very strong and
hardy, and with the observation Of
few simple rules can be kept green
and vigorous all winter. More palms
are killed by overheating than by cold.
They should have a temperature of be-
tween so and 60 degrees II II Is not
convenient 10 have any room in the
house kept as cool at this. stand them
In the corner farthest from the ra-
iiator as close as possible to the light,
but not in the glaring sun.
The worst enemy Of the plants Is
dust. Owing to Its smooth leaves, the
palm can be readily kept free from
this. Its leaves should be washed
with a soft sponge and lukewarm wa
ter.
The watering OF the plants Is of
great interest. The great danger Is
hat the housewife will be too gener-
ous In this respect. II Is difficult to
give definite rule. Generally speak
ing the earth In the pot should be
Kept moist, but not wet. II the room
Is kept Mt high temperature, the plant
viii require more water than In a
cool place. But winter should be n
time Of rest for the plant II should
not do much growing, and therefore
nourishment and water should be given
sparingly. II Is easy to soak the soil
Of plant, but hard to dry 1t, once
thoroughly wet.
Neither a palm. or any other plant,
should ever be put In glazed pot. II
m ornamental pot Is desired the earth
On pot should be set inside. A porous
pot absorbs and eyaporates the mols-
lure. while in glazed pot the earth
grows sour and unfit for even very
hardy plants. There should be hole
In the bottom Of the pot, over which
Il stone. bit Of broken crockery or
something similar should be laid This
will keep the earth from filling II up,
and the surplus water will trickle out
beneath. A few Jumps Of common
charcoal at the bottom of the pot will
prevent the roots from rottlng. and
powdered charcoal mixed with the
earth has the same effect, keeping the
bottom tom turning sour.
Having temperature and moisture
right the next enemy of the plant Is
parasites, such as fungi and insects.
Many little insect pests infest the
palm. Some of these are destroyed by
washing the leaves with a sponge and
soft brush. using clean water only.
Those that cannot be destroyed In
this way, such as scales, can be quick
ly dispatched by tobacco juice diluted
with water. Any tobacconist or cigar
manufacturer will give you all the
ribs Of tobacco leaves you want. Put
handful Of these in quart Of water
and boil. Wash the leaves with this.
and II you put in little whale-oll
soap, II will be more effective. OF

Age Made No Difference.

Here's wonderful thing" ejacu-
lated Grandma Fisher. I've just been
reading of q man who had reached the
age of forty-two without learning how
to read or write. He met woman,
and for her sake he made a scholar of
himself In two years.
Hin that's nothing!" exclaimed
William. just out Of college. Il know

forty-two. Then he met a woman and

CARE OF THE H0LLyH0CK

Keep the hollyhock flowers pickeo
Oft. Remove them as soon rs the,

poses: II makes the plant more at
tractiye and it prevents seed from
forming. II you have noticed, there
are almost always little branches
starting about the base Of the ole
plants. II seed Is not allowed to de
yelop, the energy Of the plant will b.
expended on these. and they will beai
good crop Of flowers late in the sea

they never amount to anything. Sc,
to 1t that they are encouraged tt

course. there are many insecticide.
used by florists, but this Is cheap
simple remedy, which is just as ef
fective as any other. Being a yege
table poison. no great care is required
in handling or using the tobacco juice
whereas paris green and other min
eral poisons should be applied with the
greatest precaution, as even slight
overdose will scorch the leaves ant
thereby ruin the plant.

The Bluff That Failed.

no" said the fair, but frigid maid,
Il wouldn't marry any man on
EARTH"
Il get YOU" replied the practical
youth. my trusty aeroplane is an
chored TO the trusty lightning rod, and
a friend of mine who is a sky pilot,
will gladly tie the knot above the
clouds"
And seeing that her bluff was called
the fair one struck a match to the Ice
berg pedestal on which she was posing,
and fell into his waiting arms.
