No city has made a harder or more

great victory.
No city is growing faster or getting
new buildings done or getting new

San Francisco and the Bay Cities

Over 10000 men are at work in the

force.
The Bay industries were thrown

The Todd Shipyard strike in Tacoma
has been called off after weeks idle
ness for the men and loss of 81 100000

RUBBER RUBS RAMS
INARDS-CAUSES DEATH
Pinguay Weed Forms Indigestible Ball
in Rams Stomach-Cause of
Many Fatalities

During some of his state trips Dr.
G. II. Glover, Of the Agricultural Col
lege, came upon a strange incident
featuring u ram and some rubber weed
The Colorado rubber industry was
short lived but had an auspicious be-
ginning. and hereby ''hangs a tail"
The story goes that a gentleman in
Durango had shipped to him from Yer
mont valuable ram to improve his
flocks. Soon thereafter the ram was
found dead on the range. Postmor-
tenn revealed that the cause of his
death was ball of rubber in his
stomach. This mass was taken to q
chemist for analysis and it was found
that it contained all the properties of
India rubber. The question is-how
did the rubber get there? Other sheep
were lost in the same way and then it
was discovered that the cause wns
from eating Pinguay weed, which is
now called the rubber weed. And
so the rubber industry had an aus
picious beginning, but its ending was
uneventful. 1t has not been placed
on u commercial basis altho the weed
grows in abundance in the southwest.
The plant is not poisonous in itself.
but does exact heavy toll from the
flocks and herds because when eaten
it forms rubbery indigestible mass
that is fatal. And so ends the animal
that eats the Pinguay weed-likewise
the Colorado rubber industry.

TREATING SEED STILL PROVES
TO BE THE SUREST WAY
One Pint of 10 Per Cent Formaide-
hyde to Forty Gallons of Water
Gives Best Results.

Experiments carried on by the Colo
RADIO Experiment Station this summer
have proved that treating seed with
formaldehyde is very effective in con-
trolling cereal smuts. These expert
ments were carried out for the purpose
of determining the best preparations
to use for seed treatment and the best
method of applying them.
Badly smutted wheat, oats, barley
and rye were used in the experiments.
Various strengths of copper sulphate
(blue vitroD and formaldehyde were
used and these were applied in several
different ways. The treated seed were
planted and record made of the
amount of smut in each lot.
The results show that one pint OF
40. per cent formaldehyde to forty
gallons Of water gives the best results

ORTIZ AND CODY BIG
FEATURE AT THE LYRIC

Frank Orth and Ann Cody stand out as
entertainers in chief on the new Keith
bill presented at the Lyric Thursday
evening. They feature the programme
and they win immediate favor and hold
it throughout 20 minutes or more of fun
and entertainment. Orth is a clever
comedian and he has most capable
partner in Ann Cody. The two together
put over as much entertainment as any
two in vaudeville. This act proved a riot
and the clever pair were compelled to re-
spond to several encores.
Filtration" a musical satire on coilegs
life, is another feature attraction on the
programme, and consists of songs and
dances and the membe of the company
are very capable. Dorothy Van Proved
herself to be an excellent dancer and her
very pleasing entertainer and the sup
porting cast is good.
Marconi and Fitzgibbons are one of the
features of the bill, and their musical
numbers proved the popular hit of the
bill. These two aces of music render a
most pleasing programme and the rag
time and jazz numbers keep the audience
in continuous applause. Rhea DuFresne
entertains in several song numbers. She
has the voice of a man and to prove she
is woman she takes down her hair at
the close of the act. Much fun is mixed
up with much cleverness in the offering
of Moran and Wiser. These boys enter
tain in boomerang hat throwing and in
fact. do most anything with hats. There
is plenty of comedy in this act. News
pictures are a most pleasing feature.
