COFFEE ROASTERS SAY
PRICE QUE TO SHORTAGE
San Francisco, Aug. 13. American
importers and domestic roasters and
handlers of coffee are powerless to
stop the rise in the price of coffee-, ac-
cording to a statement issued here!
today by the Pacific Coast Coffee j
Roasters Association. !
The statement decatres that cir-'
cumstanees over which American
dealers have no control have forced i
coffee prices to their present high
.evel. The advance is attributed
principally to the shortage In this
ear's Branlian coffee crop which
! owing to the severe frost of July,
19 1 S. will be cut to one-half its nor
i .ual size. This depleted crop began
j .omlng on the market about July 1
;his year and, according to the roast-
! -ts, will largely have to supply the
needs of this country and Europe for
;ue next twehe months.
j Last vear a fros joe worst exper-
ienced in more than a quarter of a
j .emury, out or a total oi 800,000,000
i trees in the Sao Paulo district, the
world's greatest coffee producing sec
tion of Brazil, killed 160,000,000
young trees. More than 300,000,000
mature trees were so badly damaged
they had to be cut down to the roots,
ven under favorable conditions
these trees cannot be made to yield
a crop for three years.
On top of the short crop the Euro
pean demand for coffee has been
enormous since the signing of the
armistice and with practically the
entire surplus of coffee stocks from
former years used up during the war
there is not enough coffee in sight to
xeet the demand which is being
made by the entire world.
The coffee roasters' statement In
conclusion says:
"It is misleading and unfair to
alame the coffee importers of this
country for conditions over which
they have no control and which are
even more unwelcome to them than
they are to the consumer. Any im
porter, jobber, coffee roaster or re
.ail grocer will tell you that the high
price Is seriously interfering with
niB busipess. It is a well known prin
ciple that it is harder to make profit
on a high market than on a low one."
Trade With Phillipine Is
lands to be Developed
Through Closer Contact
The Phillipine Commercial Agency
:ias just opened offices in the Mer
.bants Exchange, San Francisco, in
charge of Mr. James J. Rafferty.
This is a government institution in
ended to promote trade between the
United States and the Phillipines and
o serve as an Intermediary of infor-
! mation for business men, investors
ind tourists.
Heretofore
"the Phillipines have '
ad no representation on the Pacific
Coast whereas in the east they have
he Bureau of Insular Affairs at
Washington and the Phillipine Na
tional Bank of New York.
Mr. Rafferty is a director of the
Bureau of Commerce and Industry at
Manila and haB been associated with
the Government for eighteen years.
Hi was Collector of Internal Rev
;nue, a member of the board of di
rectors of the Manila R. R. Co., a
Oovernment-owned concern, and was
i director in the Bank of the Philli
pine Islands for a number of years.
He will remain here for some time,
until the office is fully equipped, and
wll then go to New York to open a
similar agency there, after which he
expects to return to the Phillipines.
He states: .
"We decided to establish direct
representation for the entire Pacific
slope section in your city for the rea
son that San Francisco is closest to
the Islands of all the American cities,
has always been very friendly to our
interests and is the city of first im
portance on the Coast. Ultimately
we expect to carry exhibits of various
Phillipine products here so as to be
in a position to afford the fullest pos
sible Information to all seeking such.'
Until permanent quarters can be
secured, Mr. Rafferty will be pro
vided with space in the offices of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
Lawrence Stevenson, young son of
Mr. and Mrs. George Stevenson, re
turned to his home last Monday, af
ter enjoying several days on the sea
shore at Newport. He brough home
a number of beautiful moss agates
which he had picked up along the
beach. Mrs. Emmett Cochran, who
went down with Master Stevenson, is
still at Newport and will probably
remain there for the remainder of the
season.

The "Sixty-Five Year Midget."
In 1854 and the two following
years the wheat crop over rather a
wide area was severely damaged by
a little insect called the wheat midge.
The loss in New York alone was es
timated at $15,000,000. As a result,
many farmers in that State aban
doned the growing of wheat. The
farm journals at that time were full
of dissussions of the midge. But for
years subsequently the wheat midge
was not particularly troublesome.
Gradually, both farmers and etomol-
igists forgot about it or remembered
it only as one of the pests that used
to be. And so it went on for more
than sixty years, until very recently.
Then the wheat midge gave evidence
that it isn't out of business.
Etomologists of the United States
Department of Agriculture say that
there is a considerable midge injury
in New York, Pennsylvanian, Mary
liind. West Virginia and Virginia.
During all these 60 or more years, of
course, the midge has been present,
hut in such .small numbers as not to
be noticed particularly. Because it
was not doing any very serious in
jury, no thoroughly systematic study
was made of the insect. The depart
ment experts are inclined to believe
that several species are included un
rter the name of wheat midge. Such
iife history data as are available do
not seem to harmonize sufficiently
for one Bpecles. The probability is,
they think, that conditions are very
rarely favorable for all the species
at the same time and, until such a
universally favorable season occurs,
the midge does not inflict euougn
damage to be particularly noticeable.
The department, through the Bureau
of Etomology, Is undertaking a sys
tematic study of life history together
with other investigations that will
rehult in a much more thorough un
derstanding of the insect than has
evet teen had up to this time.
It is not regarded as at all likely
that the whole wheat midge will ever
' again inflict such heavy damage as it

SANDBAGS SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given
Credit for Resourcefulness In
Modern Warfare.
No belligerent has shown more re
sourcefulness than the Italians In de
vising novel means of offense and de
fense, say writer In Wide World
Magazine. The Italian army was the
only one to enter the war with a trench
helmet and a steel chest protector, and
It Is now provided with a more efficient
body shield than Is possessed by anj
other of the warring nations.
Early In the war It was discovered
by the Italians that many lives could
be saved In skirmishing at close quar
ters if the soldiers carried or pushed
bags of sand In front of them, and the
present body shield has been on out
growth of that Idea.
They are made iu the one-man and
two-man type.' The former are worn
by Infantry advancing In the open, at
tached to the shoulders by a pair of
light steel arms, aud are long enough
to protect the head and vital organs of
a man standing erect. Lying at full
length, or even crouched. It covers him
completely. Each shield Is pierced with
a small, round eyehole and an oblong
loophole for firing from, both of which
may be closed by a sliding door when
no? In use.
The two-man shield Is principally
used in wire cutting. It Is carried on
the back of one man, who may also
work his rifle from a loophole in the
top, while a second man works a lung
wire-cutter through a hole at the bot
torn. It Is held up by short legs It the
first man desires to move Independ
ently. REPUBLICANS HELPED
PASS WARKEASURES
Patriotism of Oregon's Con
gressmen Is Unfairly
Assailed.
The manufactured and unsupported
charge that "the election of a Republi
can Congress In November would la
a source of comfort and elation to the
Kaiser and bis cohorts," comes with
poor grace from the Democrats In
these critical times when it is recalled
that the votes of Republican members
of Congress were required to pass the
conscription bill and other Important
war measures. . The votes of these
Republicans were positively necessary

at times when "letding liemooraTR
Congressmen balked at the President s
war program and not only refused to
support but actively opposed some of
the more vital war measures.
And yet, despite this -fact and the
further fact that the President has in
sisted that "polities is adjourned," the
Democratic National Committee is In
dustriously circulating through Its
campaign literature the charge that
the election at this time of other than
Democrats to Congress would give
"comfort and elation to the Kaiser and
his Cohorts."
In view of the records jt Senator
McNary and Representatives Hawley,
Sinnott and McArthur, who have at all
times supported the President's war
program, this sort of propaganda
should be vigorously resented by the
voters of this state. Irrespective of
their political affiliations. This un
founded imputation that the four Re
publican nominees for Congress from
this state are not dependably 100 per
cent patriotically American can be
best repudiated by electing them By
decisive majorities.
STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Successful Work With the Instrument
Depends Largely on Its Being in
Proper Position.
Successful hand-camera work de
pends largely on the power to glv
slow shutter exposures with the cam
era held In (he hand, and In this con
nection sufficient attention Is rarely
given to the matter of "grip." It U
not enough to hold the camera flrrulj
against the chest or stomach. Tht
best position must be found by trial,
nd this will vary with different In
dividuals and different makes o)
camera. In general It will be fount?
that the most comfortable position 1
the steadiest. At waist level tht
hands will be usually placed sym
metrically on either side of the Instru
ment, the right, near the release, for
ward, and the other a little behind
When the camera Is held at eye level
one hand Is usually beld rather undei
the Instrument as a support, and th
other grips the back or side, or wltl
a folding type of camera both handi
may grip the back. With the verj
small tyres, one hand often almost In
closes the Instrument aud releases the
shutter, whilst the other Is used as a
support At eye level It Is often a
great assistance to a steady nlin tr
press the back of the camera against
the cheek. Just as the feel of a fa
vorite gun gives confidence, so tht
use of the camera should be fnmlllnr
and regular and systematic practice
with the unloaded camera will be a
great help In this. Trial exposures
should be given from time to time, and
the resulting negatives carefully ex
amined. At first fairly short exposure!
only should be given, to gain confi
dence, gradually employing slowei
speeds as the hand Is trained and
nerve la acquired.
Building Record.
All building records were broken
recently at Grasmere. S. I., where a
United States buse hospital Is located.
In five hours a force of 300 men erect
ed a building 230 feel long and 38
feet wide. In the finished building;
when the workmen laid down their
tools, was a steam-heating plant, sewer
connections, electric lights and a bath
room with tiled floor. The work
started at 7 o'clock In the morning,
with men digging post boles. When
the whistle blew at noon the last
workman In the building was putting
on his cout, with the task completed.

"When," says King Albert of Belgium, "this
young man and others like him (indicating the '
Americans) have brought back the fires to the cold
hearths of my people, joy to the hearts of the women,
and smiles to the lips of children; when every ves

This is only one of the soul stirring incidents that
