the next four weeks carload after car
load and train after train will roll
eastward with grapes for practically
every section of the country.
Right now the table varieties are
moving, but not even the larger part
of these shipments will be eaten
fresh. Most of them will be crushed
and go into beverages, sirups or
jams. These table grapes, however.
represent only part of the crop.
According to the latest estimates the
entire crop may be divided roughly
into % per cent of wine varieties, 70
per cent table grapes and so per cent

Grape Growers Comment.

l.. NJ. Sheehan. president of the
Grape Growers Exchange said: 1T
is now a we'll known fact that many
thousands of Carloads. approximating
150, 900 tons. of raisin grapes are being
used not for eating purposes, but for
crushing and for manufacture into
whatever the ultimate consumer may
choose. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the great bulk of the crop is being
crushed. The only question is the
exact proportions that are made into
homemade wine. grape juice. grape
sirup and jams.
1t is expected that with the early
varieties now in process of shipment
and continuing through the heavy
season from late August to early No
vember. 5one 10000 carloads of fresh
grapes will be shipped from California
vineyards. The best markets are New
York, Chicago, Boston and Philadel-
phia. which take about half the crop.
More than two-thirds go to So cities.
the rest being distributed throughout
the Nation.
The nearest competitors of California
are New York, Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania. which shipped, respectively,
5,641, 4,617 and Las tons last year.

Crop Moderately Good.

This years WELD is far from full
crop. although it is a moderately
good one, and there is every indica
ton of good demand and good
prices. The Grape Growers Ex-
change. which handles juice grapes
disposed of the offerings of mem
bers IT the exchange schedule within
three hours after the opening.
The California growers of wine
grapes. who had been selling their
products to the 700 wineries in the
State, fought the Volstead act bitter
ly. declaring II would mean the ruin
of their business. In the early days
of prohibition Aany acres of juice
grape vines were grated over into
table and raisin varieties.
The mistake soon became apparent
There was a strong call for juice
grapes from all parts of the Nation.
One large vineyardist is reported to
have committed suicide because he
had been deluded into grabbing up
thousands of acres of vines.
The wineries had been paying $40
to $50 a ton. but the demand from
householders raised the price almost
Immediately to $50 and above.
The classification of grapes as wine,
table and raisin varieties is mislead-
ing and any attempt to estimate what
proportion of the huge crop finds its
way into kegs, barrels and bottles is
battling. for growers, dealers and con
sumers all realize grapes a grape
and its juice will contain from 10 to
II per cent of alcohol when nature
ferments it.
Experts in the trade know that a
very large proportion, probably S5
per cent. of the fresh crop. is crushed.
but how much of it becomes marina
lade. sirup or jam and hoW much
wine they cannot say. The common
variety of sweet grape juice is not
a California product, but is made
from Concords and similar varieties
grown in the East and Middle West.

Due to Lack of Space)
The last meeting for this season of
the Helping Hand Society of the
Christian Orphan Home was held on
Tuesday afternoon in the Home with
a fine attendance from the various
boroughs. Two new members were
added.
Mrs Manning reported for the sup
per committee for June Is at the

couraging for besides the annual con-
tributions of foods from the members,
twenty gallons of ice cream, a barrel
of potatoes, ten loaves of bread, forty
quarts of milk, a lot of frankfurters
and some cream have been donated
as well as twenty-four dollars for the
meat.

People Requested to
Address Mail Properly

There is something of sacredness
about the contents of a letter. The
writer often reveals more of himself
on the written page than he would in
direct conversation. This revelation,
of course, is designed only for the
eyes of the correspondent.
In this country wholesome respect
has been built up for the sanctity of
a letter but it is not so respected in
many other countries where the open
ing and reading of sealed mail be-
comes, at least, so prevalent that the
practice has earned the appellation,
cracking seals"
The average American would be
filled with wrath and the timid soul
would shrink with horror at the
thought of third person, and a
stranger at that, reading his "per-
sonal correspondence"
Yet, that is exactly what happens
to 21,000OO0 letters year and will
continue so long as letter writer's fail
to put return addresses on their
envelopes.
When a letter, without a return ad-
dress, can not be delivered for any
reason, it is sent, after a certain time,
to the Dead Letter Office.
There it is opened and read-not
for the possible scandal it may con-
tain-but with a view to finding some
clue which will enable forwarding on
to the address or returning to the
sender.
Out of every five letters received
at the Dead Letter Office such clue
is found in one and it is sent merrily
on it's delayed way to one or the other
of the two persons most interested
in it's disposition. The other four are
destroyed
Every person knows his own ad-
dress and if he would put it on the
envelope, the contents would remain
inviolate and the letter would be re-
turned with notice of non-delivery.

Omitted From Last Weeks Paper
Due to Lack of Space)
The closing meeting for the season
of the Community Players, was held
on Tuesday evening at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Braddon.
The report of the historian, by Miss
Clarice Blake, proved of special in
terest. According to the report from
its first meeting last fall when the
club was suggested by Miss Marjorie
Sammis, it has steadily increased un-
til now from five members to forty
seven active members and forty-three
subscribing members and although
incurring heavy expenses for rental
of Carney Hall for the past season,
new scenery, programs, tickets, and
other incidentals of the drama, it
closes its season without debt
1t has produced three public per
formances and two subscribers eve
nings and of the fifty members signi-
flying preference for acting, nearly all
have been cast for parts in the plays
and given excellent performance.
Miss Marjorie Sammis, as director
of plays, gave her report for the fu-
ture season up to January, the new
policy being group of directors, a
different one for each play to be put
on and it is hoped that the first drama
evening will be early in November.
Miss Sammis also expressed her salts
faction in the harmonious relations of
the past, in all the cast for the plays
and in rehearSals.
Discussion of plays, some of which
amateur and professional, the mem
bers visited, occupied some time, then
the meeting closed with a reading
by Miss Sammis of play written by
member for criticism and sugges-
tion.

Residents of Utah Object
 To Nicknaming Its Peaks

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. IS. (P- Utah residents are aroused over chance and possibly inappropriate names bestowed upon many of the peaks and canyons in the south Utah region which includes Zion Ma tional Park, Cedar Breaks state park and Bryce Canyon National Monu- ment. Suggestion has been made that commission be appointed to take up the matter with the National Geographic Board of the United States.
 Report from Zion National Park is that woman tourist while rid ing thru a rock crack recently re- marked "This must be Purgatory Pass"-and the name has stuck, Another instance which has created disapproval is the calling of the ma jestic triplet-peaks of the Three Pa triarchs in Zion Park by the name of nationally known concern,
 A majority of the peaks and can yons in south region are unnamed there are so many of them-and it is hoped that something will be done towards proper naming before too many nicknames are given.

Irish Returning and
 Restoring Destroyed
 Property At Home

DUBLIN, Aug. 13. (P-There are many signs in the Free State that wealthy families, who, after the de- struction of their property, left for England, are anxious to return. The compensation given for the destruc- tion includes in most cases a con- dition for rebuilding, and this con- dition is being fulfilled.
 Marquis of Lansdowne has rebuilt a place at Dereen not far from Xiii larney which was footed and burned. The Marquis has been living in De- reen, and his son and heir, the Earl of Kerry, who is member of the Free State senate, also has resi- dence in the neighborhood.
 Tn Duke of Devonshire has been living at Lismore Castle in County Waterford. Though not burned it was badly damaged and the Duke has had it restored.

MAYOR SHANK, UNABLE
 TO DECIDE ON FUTURE.
 SOON TO QUIT OFFICE

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 13. R- Lew Shank, who has combined an intermittent career of public service with auctioneering, horse racing, act ing and operation of a storage plant, will retire again to private life at l the end of this year, when his sec ond term as mayor of Indianapolis | expires.
 Shank has not decided whether he will climb back onto the auction block or resume management of his storage plant. His friends say he no longer has any inclination for the race track, and he has said he will not be lured back to the stage, where, as professional humorist, he attract ed attention turnout the country some years ago.
 His present objective is to cap his career as mayor with the purchase of the 650-acre Laurel Hill estate and mansion near the city for mu- nicipal park and country club The property, valued at more than S1,- 100000, belonged to Stoughton Flet- cher, Indianapolis capitalist, and Is now in the hands of trustees. Shank, conceiving the idea of acquiring it for city playground, recently in- serted page advertisements in Indi- anapolis newspapers urging citizens to visit it. Thousands of residents inspected the estate on the day set, but much opposition has arisen to purchase or lease of the estate by the city
 Since the day Shank decided sud- denly, over a card table in the back room of a saloon, to run for the ma yoralty of Indiana's metropolis, he has kept his city and state in the limelight and he has become mo- table character. He has been unu- ally we'll informed on all, branches of city. government, he has shown aptitude for business administration, and he has been indomitably persist ent in attainment of his municipal objectives.
 Shank aspired last year to the re- publican gubernatorial nomination but was beaten. He met indirect defeat again in the city primaries last May when Ralph Lemcke, who had Shank's support for the mayoralty. lost the republican nomination to John L. Duval, present county treas urer, leaving a breach in repubIi- can party ranks which has not yet healed completely.

SAMAR TWINS SPURN VAUDEVILLE PROPOSAL
 FROM A N. Y. FIRM

 Although the vaudeville mana gers offered large weekly sal ary for the services of the twins, MT. Yangco declined to entertain the proposal. Some years ago he found the twins in a side show of circus in the United States and brought them back to ther native land.
