. i 17. THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 1 JL FEBRTTART 19, 1922 CUSTOMS OF COAST SHOW DROP IN 192 Every Pacific District Hard Hit by Import Commerce. SHRINKAGE IS GENERAL All Kcgions but That of Oregon Suffer Slump in Exports; Lo cal Trade Increasing. Every customs Clstrict on this coast suffered a shrinkage of imports during the year 1921, and every dis trict but Oregon suffered a loss of exports, according to the complete data' for the year's commerce made available here for the first time in the monthly report of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the federal government. That the shrinkage in values of imports and exports has stopped, how ever, with the stabilization of prices, and the pendulum of foreign com merce reached the bottom of its swing, is indicated by the report, which shows all Pacific coast . ports holding their own. for the last six months. In fact, last December's im ports entered at San Francisco and Seattle were the largest in point of value to pass through those ports in a single month for several years. Oregon Exports Rank .Third. On the basis of the totals for the calendar year the Oregon district, which consists principaly of Portland, though including also Astoria and Coos bay, ranks third among Pacific coast districts for value of exports, but is seventh for value of imports. The only district on this coast whose imports are not greater than those of this district is Alaska. The Steady volume of imports and exports moving through the ports of Puget sound, the Columbia river and San Francisco during the last six months is shown in the - following table, compiled from consecutive is sues of the monthly government re ports: Imports Oreeon.

(Special-,) It has been pointed out by Raymond shipping experts that the recent sale of the "1 shipping Joard wood hulls and partially, completed ships, now on the Pacific coast, to A. C. Humphrey as agent for Herbert Fleishhacker, San Francisco capital 1st, may prove of tremendous value to Raymond and other Pacific ports, as it is a well-known fact that Mr. Fleishhacker is closely allied with large lumber and steamship interests now operating in this district and the Pacific northwest. It is stated that several of these vessels are 90 per cent completed, with power plants installed, and that It would not require extensive alter ations to remodel them into large ocean-going tugs amply capable ofj towing two fully loaded hulls con verted into lumber barges loaded I with lumber at Raymond and other northwest ports, to New York via the Panama canal, in less than 40 days. Assuming that four such barges were allocated to each tug, all port delays could be" eliminated and con tinuous and maximum service-be had ' from each tug. The value of the four remodeled barges, including the towing vessel, would be less than one-fourth of that of the average steel freighters capable of carrying the same quantity of lumber. OLD WINDJAMMER BROKEN UP Famous Clipper Ship "Glory of the Seas" Victim of Barnacles. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 18. An old clipper ship, the Glory of the Seas, which 35 years ago set a record for "windjammers'' between San Fran cisco and Australia, is being broken up here following the discovery that barnacles have eaten into her hull beyond repair. The stout old ship was built at the famous Donald McKay yards in Bos ton, Mass., In 1869, and,, since then, has sailed on all the seven seas and called at most of the important ports around the globe. Some years ago the Glory of the Seas was purchased by a Tacoma fish company and was "put in the service between Puget Sound and Alaska. Each spring she would spread her canvas and sail away to the north, carrying supplies and employes for the Alaska canneries operated by the company, and, in the fall, would return with the season's catch. The old boat was built of oak and other tough woods and some of these are still in good condition. She is being broken up for what metal she. holds. steamer City of Lincoln, booked to carry a large part cargo of. grain from Portland to Europe, will be due here Tuesday morning from' Seattle and will dock at the Peninsula mill. Her holds will be lined there by the J. , H. Roberts company before she goes to one of the grain docks to start loading. . ' man and Austrian ships ranging from 4760 tons to 20,765 tons. These latter comprise a number now in service through allocation to various operat ing steamship companies in South American trade and Atlantic and Pa cific trade. The big liner Leviathan Is not included. Twenty-three vessels of 23,000 tons each, built by the emergency fleet corporation, which are included, were declared by shipping board officials toj-epresent the last word in passen ger ship construction up to this ton nage. Some of these, notably the Southern Cross, Bay State, Pine Tree State, Palmetto State and Nutmeg State, are of the 535-foot class. Most of these vessels are either on the South' American routes or those of the North Atlantic and on Pacific routes to the far east.

The raising of millions of cryptolaemus montrouziers, more commonly known as crypts, or Australian ladybugs, is the remedy suggested by J. P. Coy, horticultural inspector of San Bernar dino county, to combat the ravages of the mealy bug, an orchard pest said to be common in southern California. According to. Mr. Coy, the ladybug is the deadly enemy of the mealy bug. He proposes to raise the lady bug at the county insectary. Then in' the spring and summer of each year, under his plan, the ladybugs would be distributed In groves in fested by the mealy bug. Mr. Coy said this means of fighting the mealy bug pest was not a new one,, it having been tried prior to this year in several counties in tne southern part of the state. He de clared, however, that the campaign against the mealy bug should be in tensified by the propagation and dis tribution of more ladybugs. im mm In five minutes 'Tape's Diapepsin" ends Indigestion Gases ' Heartburn Sourness Flatulence .
