REPRESENTATIVE of Victor
X Ray Visiting Seward

DR.. E. X. Knott, physiotheraplst,
Of New York, representing the Victor
X Ray Corporation Of Chicago, is IN
Seward on his way to the States,
after installing a Victor Quartz lamp
in the Dental Clinic at Anchorage, as
well IS installing an elaborate equip
ment in DR.. Blossoms office at the
government hospital.
Dr. Knott has also received orders
and Will install the Victor lamps IN
the offices of DR.. S. P. Dave OF Ju-
neau; DR.. Borland of OF Juneau, and
DR.. Chase of COrdova.
The quartz light produces rays
bone and skin diseases, childrens dis
greatly beneficial to tuberculosis,
eases, and plays useful part n
dentistry curing assesses and pyor-
rhea It is also used as preventa-
tive of pain following extraction OF
teeth
The rays are applied by means OF
a hOOuGu reflector, lASu w q AAAO' -
bic standard, and can be applied
either directly or through various
openings in the hood, according TO
the area and portion OF the body TO
be treated.
The treatment given with the ultra
Violet Ray is the most valuable al
unct to medical practice known TO-
day. Tie immediate effect is the
increasing of general health and body
resistance, due to increased blood
circulation and the building up OF
The body tissues in case of infection.
In the application of these Ultra
Violet Rays there is an absence OF
lanv sensation Pain is relieved al
lnost instantly, and its success IN
relieving itching and skin eruptions
is one of its strongest features.
The electric current for the lamp
Is taken from the ordinary incandes-
cent lighting circuit, and speclal

Forrest Theatre

Eddie Bowling, in "Sally, Irene and
Mary, returns to Philadelphia for a
three weeks engagement at the For
rest Theatre ON Monday night, Dece-
mber LIST. This popular star and this
joyous musical comedy, which the
Messrs. Shubert present, played a
twelve weeks engagement in Phila-
delphia last season. The play drew
capacity houses and SO many people
have requested that it play return
engagement, that the management
arranged for it's presentation at the
Forrest.
Bowling and "Sally, Irene and
Mary have made a transcontinental
tour since they were last in Phila-
delphia, and both the star and the
three heroines of this delightful
musical play have endeared them
selves to thousands of playgoers
from New York to San Francisco.
Mr.. Bowling wrote the book of
Sally, Irene and Mary, and he has
proved to the satisfaction of skep-
teal theatrical producers that the
public will patronize clean musical
play when it is we'll acted and pro-
duced. Such is the main charm of
Sally, Irene and Mary"-it cleanness
from either risque dialogue or Off
color situations.
In writing the book of this musical
comedy Mr.. Bowling took the three
named heroines of the three best
known musical plays of recent years
Sally, MARY and Irene, wrote a
new fictional story around them, en-
bellished it with songs and music
and turned out popular success.
The play is now in it's third year.
The original cast that surrounded Mr..
Bowling when he played Philadel-
phia before is still with it.
During the engagement of HSally,
Irene and Mary, at the Forrest
Theatre popular prices will prevail.
The highest priced seats on We'd
nesday matinee will be $1.50.

Growth is now practically limited

llia and North Carolina.
Chestnut comes under the hard
wocd classification and is very du-
rable, especi lily in contact with
the ground. Cedar is of the soft
wood variety and has also been
found durable. The chestnut trees
used for poles are second growths;
they are sprouts which grew from
the butt Of a fallen tree The cedar
tree does not sproutein this man
ner. Both chestnut and cedar poles
are taken from trees in dense for
ests. Trees, naturally, seek light,
and in dense forest with no room
to spread out and with compare
lively small degree Of light the
trees grow to considerable height,
reaching for the light necessary to
existence.
All poles are bought subject to
specifications and are inspected
thoroughly upon their arrival at
the twenty pole yards in New Jer-
sey. The life of pole is usually
ten years, and after the pole has
been in the ground five years it is
inspected every year. Special at
tention Is paid to the ground line
where the fungous growth would be
most likely to attack the pole.
Moisture and warmth are two fac.
tors which aid this fungohs disease.

CHINESE CREWS
BOUND TO BRITISH
SHIPSL|KE SERFS
While American Seamen
Walk the Streets
BY JACK CARNEY.

Along the San Francisco waterfront
day after day, American sailors tramp
looking for jobs that never turn up.
At night they accost the passer-by
with the hope of a dime for coffee
and doughnuts. The sailors outlook
is black one. Forever feeling the
call of the sea within his blood he
hopes for the Job that might restore
to him his manhood. But the job
will never come, for out in the bay is
a slave ship.
Patriotic American shipowners,
who finance July 4th parades, have
registered their ships under the Brit
ish flag. So they are able, with the
assistance of the British consulates,
to employ Chinese. One ship here
has had Chinese on board for over
eighteen months. They are not al
lowed ashore. If they are held much
longer they will go insane.
So Cents A Day.
Their pay is 35 cents per day, a
few handfuls Of rice and dunagaress
thrown in. What chance has an
American sailor against the Chinese /?
Even if he worked for nothing, his
food would cost more than 35 cents,
so the kind, patriotic shipowners take
the Chinese.
This condition daily becomes more
aggravated, as each day finds more
slave ships coming In. The law calls
for crews that can speak English.
Union officials try to board ships to
see the law is carried out. The gov.
eminent officials know the law is
evaded, but they also know that be-
hind the government stands the ship
owner, so union officials do not count.
How About It, Paul?
Paul Scharrenberg, Seamen's I'm,
ion, knows of these conditions, be-
cause he was one of the officials who
tried to board the ships that come
and go. Yet he spends his time at
Cleveland trying to convince the
workingclass that members of the re.
publican party are working to ere.
ate goveNhment that will make Rob.
ert Dollar obey the law and so reduce
his profits. Dollar is as patriotic as
his party-the republican party. Dol
lar thinks as much of the American
workers as his party-the republican
party. Dollars regard is summed up
in the slave ship he OWLS where Chi.
lnese work for IS cents day and can.
not leave the ship until they have
sailed for two years.

CONTINUES THRU
COFFEE DISTRICT
Cause and Extent Not
Passed by Censor
tspeeIaI to the Daily Worker.l

RIO DE JANEIRO, July S.-The sit
uation in Brazil is becoming more
critical Disturbances are spreading
in the disaffected areas and a naval
squadron sailed for Santos Monday
morning to attempt to re-establish or
der.
Protest Against President.
The Journal di Commerce. says that
a section of the regular army, quar-
tered in and about Sac Paulo, con-
spired with state troops to capture the
government palace there. The gov
ernor learned of the movement in
time, and took the necessary meas
ures, according to the newspaper,
which says that the revolutionary &C.
tivities are a result of lack of unity
of command in the army, and adds
that the movement is continuing.
An official communique says the
situation is favorable" and that the
battleship Misasgeraes has radioed
from Santos that everything is calm
there.
Censorship Strict.
Rigid censorship prevails on mes
sages from Sac Paulo, the storm CEN
ter, which increases suspicion of the
seriousness of the situation.
The Anoticia publishes an official
note deprecating the movement, and
advises the populace that it is quite
unnecessary to become alarmed.
The chamber unanimously approved
the presidents request that state of
siege be declared for sixty days at
Sac Paulo, and the governors of all
states telegraphed President Ber-
nardes, placing their state troops at
his disposal to put down the rebellien.
A possible connection of the revolt
with the British financial missions
suggestion that Brazil sell her public
railroads to private, presumably Brit
ish, interests has been limited.
