CUriO Dealer OF
Pacific Coast Tells
OF UniQUe Trade

THE See America first movement
which received such a strong impetus
during the war shows no signs of les
sening," declared W. w. Ross, proprie-
tor of a large store of Indian goods
and other curios in Portland, Ore, who
is registered at the Hotel Chisca, THE
Pacific coast has had a record break
where. One gratifying feature was the
numerous family motor parties that
came from almost every corner of the
Union. Tennessee, my former home,
was surprisingly we'll represented. Ev-
cry little while someone that l knew
would come into my store.
MY business is both pleasant and
profitable, but, oddly enough, it is
one that has a strong appeal to the
women and almost none whatever to
men. Every normal woman Is anxious
not only to get something to take back
for Uncle John and Aunt Kate and
grandpa. Sea shell goods sell exceed
ingly well, as do the baskets made from
the hard shell of the armadillo.
THE japanese, who are going into
every phase of the business along the
coast, are also entering ours. They
have many quaint and curious things
that we can not get, and therefore we
can not hope to compete with them.
too. However, the field is wide and
there is room for all. 1t is a good
thing for our country that the people
of one section should know the people
and products Of another. 1t makes for
a more cohesive nation. I have seen
no curio store in Memphis specializing
on the products of Memphis and the
South. I should think that one would
prove profitable"

SUBMARINE CREW
SAVED AS RESULT
OF OWN EFFORTS

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept. 4.-The
United States submarine SIS went to
the bottom because a large air intake
waive failed to close when the boat
MADE a practice dive. This was reveal
ed today In the official report of the
accident made by +hs commander of
the destroyer Beaver.
The Beaver is standing by the hat

The eRsyer's report tells briefly of

commander Charles NJ. Cooke, Jr., of
that it was their own desperate efforts
and not telephone buoy, as first
reported, that attracted attention OF
me rescuing ships. The crew learned
mat the stern of their ship was above
water. This supplied a ray of hope and
working as they never worked before,
they .gouged a small hole through the
IRON null. To do this they climbed up
the side of the ship standing at an angle
of about so degrees.
Through this hole they thrust a pole
with sailors white undershirt tied
TO 1t, and wigwagged signals of dis

snip Alanthus, the first vessel to pass
q hours later.
The "eport shows the accident &C.
Cured at 2 pm. wednesday, the boat
going to the bottom in 1853 feet of
water. The men worked desperately.
Some of the water was expelled and
the stern rose slowly, but the storage
batteries had been flooded, releasing
chlorine fumes, the same kind of gas
released by the Germans in their first
gas attacks in the world war. The sick
oning fumes drove the crew from the
compartments.
With the batteries flooded they pre-
G4nably were forced to work practi-
cally in darkness, aided only by small
flashlights. They worked in two-min-
a longer period. The chlorine sank to
the bow of the ship, but there was no
fresh air and the oxygen was rapidly
being exhausted.
