Il ont by the flames.

In Berkeley, which suffered a loss
of $l0,000,000 through destruction
of part of its finest residential see
tion when brush fires in the vicinity
spread, the fires are out. No loss
of life has been reported.
Berkeley city officials have start

fire swept across fifty of the finest
residential blocks.
Residents of the Sonoma valley
are fleeing their homes on special
relief trains for Santa Rosa.
The Boyes Springs resort was de-
stroyed after the fire fighters
thought they had the flames extin
guished. A wind famed the smould
ering embers after the volunteer
firemen had left for Sonoma for
breakfast.
The list of those unaccounted
for was heavily reduced today and
while some fifteen names still stood
on the books as not located, failure
of any friends to make inquiry,
caused officials to believe that all
had been accounted for.
Reports from outlying sections of
the state were most encouraging.
In Napa county last night the
forest fire burned the Enterprise
school, quantity of valuable vine
yards and above five homes. includ-
ing the Handy, Short, Holzereiter
and Winderest ranches and Robins

cottages and farm houses, had about

ion had been cut for several hours.
In the Placerville district where
fire destroyed FL Dorado, famous
mining camp of the sos, four fires
still were burning this morning,
but were either controlled or check

one which burned FL Dorado-had

NEW YORK, September 10
Stocks today gave indication of
breaking away from the disturbing
influence of the demoralized sit
uation in the oil industry. Further
reports of continued -produc-

burst of selling among the oil shares
which carried cosden and d few sim

But leading industrial stocks were

DESTRUCTION AND INITIATION

AS America gladly speeds its aid to Japan 1t
should also heed the timely warning of economists.
They remind the nation that it took the lumber
panes of the Pacific Coast region nearly decade to
recover from the artificial initiation which followed
the rebuilding of San Francisco after its earthquake
and fire of 1906 They remind the public also of the
economic events which have followed the World War.
Headlong initiation is always serious mistake,
if not actually an economic crime. Any great dis
aster which means the destruction of wealth and
property is loss to the whole world and must be
borne by the world. The stimulated processes of
rehabilitation do not general prosperity, for
they essential in order merely to replace the
destroyed materials They postpone getting ahead.

Alarmists who take fiendish pleasure IN pro-

how whole races might be annihilated in future war
by the scattering of deadly disease germs from air
planes. 1t assumed that the thing was practical
Laboratories could furnish the germs and all that
was required was the diaboca will to them
broadcast over hostile cities and countries.
There may be something in it, but certainly not
all that the alarmsts have pictured. For the thing
has been tried on small scale and failed utterly.

glass tubes containing of the deadest disease
germs known to the medical profession. And the pop

was no epidemic. People frightened when they

matter with scientific precision found that the
most virulent and hardy of those germs died within

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR SOAP
Soapbark, Starch or Bran Water May
Be Used Without Fear Of Injury
to Delicate Color.

When the action of soap is likely to
injure a delicate color, one may use,
instead, soapbark, starch water or
bran water, suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Soarbark, although not soap. when
heated in water will form suds. To
prepare 1t for use, boil for ten minutes
a cupful of the bark with one quart of
water, and cool and strain the liquid.
The "soapy" water may be used full
strength for sponging or diluted wash
ing half of this amount is enough for
one-half tubful of water. Since the
liquid is brownish, 1t should be used
only on dark -colored goods.
Starch water Is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
is usually made by adding thin starch
paste to the wash water. Water In
which rice has been boiled, If 1t is not
discolored, may be used instead. If
1t is not desirable to have the material
starched slightly. 1t must be rinsed
in salt water.
Bran water, made in the same way
as soapbark solution, Is useful with
colors that are likely to fade. 1t does
not give suds, but cleans like starch
water.
