KOBE TO Be JAP TRADE
CENTER FOR TIME BEING
Destruction OF Yokohama Switches
All Incoming and Outgoing Traffic

Destruction Of Yokohama Switches
All Incoming and Outgoing Traffic
to Sister Port.
Nagasaki, Sept 6.--Owing to the
wholesale destruction wrought by the
earthquake in Toxic and Yokohama,
the center of foreign trGde will be
shifted to Kobe. The Kobe Chamber
of Commerce yesterday proposed to
take charge of all incoming foreign
cargoes intended for Toxic and Yo-
kohama.
The export of raw silk from Yoko-
hama is impossible and 1t is generally
hoped silk exchange will be estab-
lished either in Kobe or Osaka from
which exports can be made. 1t is
feared that stocks OF raw silk in Yo-
kohama approximatlng 1900 bales
have been totally destroyed.
The Osaka branch of the Yoko-
hama specie bank reports the foreign
exchange market quiet with quota
lions nominal since Monday. Demand
for the dollar is increasing because
the expectation of excess exports by
increased shipments of raw silk dur
ing the second six months of 1928 are
not likely to materialize owing to the
disaster.

HEAVIER :, 'TR UCK, :.
ORDINANCE TO
Be FOUGHT [. A.

Action of the city council in Los
Angeles in raising the legal truck
load limit to 10000 pounds brought
emphatic protest in the form of re-
ferendum petitions from automobile
owners. The state law fixes the
maximum weight at $4,000 pounds.
1t is pointed out in the protests
against the new ordinance that only
SO out of 10000 motor vehicles reap
advantage by the excessive load,
and that while this one third of one
per cent of vehicle owners are be-
ing profitcd the remaining ninety
nine and two thirds percent are
suffering injury to the highways
for which they are charged two
cents on every gallon of gasoline
they buy for maintenance.
The fight against the loads that
ruin roads is being led by the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California,
which has made exhaustive en-
gineering Investigations proving
that weights over $4,000 pounds are
against public policy as the high
ways are now constructed.

The Artist

John Smith was sitting on an ov-
erhanging rock on the river bank
painting a landscape. He had mix
ed up his paints and painted a
while when he happened to look be-
hind him and saw bear. 1t fright
ened him so that he dropped his
paints and jumped in the river
without thinking how deep it might
be. But he could not swim.
The bear was a tame one and
jumped in after him and got him
by the collar and pulled him out and
let him go. The man paid the bear
with a can of honey. The bear
went off little ways and ate the
honey and came back and pushed
the man in and jumped in and
saved him again and he gave it an
other can of honey. The bear wa'
satisfied and went off.
