Ship Goes on Rocks It was while in Manila that Abbot first became connected with the Rob- bert Dollar company. He met the general manager and impressed him so that he was hired to go to Java and the South Sea Islands as a purser on the chartered steamer Quantice. A few days out south from Manila the Quantice encountered a South Sea typhoon, the kind that figures in many novelists’ stories. And the Quantice failed to weather it, because of insufficient propeller strength and speed and was blown off the safe and proper course and cast on a rock- bound coast off a little unknown trop- ical island. The preparations for rescue work were made in a driving typhoon. A line was shot to the shore and many were sent over it to safety, but eight men were lost, hurled high in the air by the lurching ship as though shot from a bow, and drowned in the rough sea when they fell. When the Quan- tice jarred loose, and was swept on again toward the land, Abbot at the moment of striking leaped for life and landed safely as the steamer went to pieces. Abbot headed a relief party for the stranded party into the interior. A quantity of supplies was brought to ne shore and some canoes were gb- tained from the natives. When weath- er and sea permitted the party pad- died to a neighboring island occupied by white men, and later were picked up by a passing steamer and returned to Manila. It was then that Abbot came to Shanghai. Joan London To Wed Man Many _ Exploits Daughter of Famour Novelist En- gaged to Oakland Youth Whose Many Adventures Re- semble Those of Her Father Joan London, daughter of the novel- ist, Jack London, is to marry a man much like her late father in his love of adventure. Her engagement to Park Abbot of Oakland Cal., was an- nounced recently. Miss London, the elder of the two @aughters of the author, is a senior in the University of California and is to be graduated next May. She is 20 years of age, a dark, red cheeked girl said to resemble her father in perso: ality. When Joan was but !2 years eld she gave evidence that she had in- herited a bit of Jack London's writing ability. She had then won several prizes from a national magazine for composition in cantests. Like her father, Joan has been an incessant reader and a close student of literary principles. The two girls, Joan and Bess, are @aughters of Jack London’s first wife, from whom the author was divorced. Bess is several years younger than Joan. Abbot, though only 21 years old, has been enough of a roustabout to show that he will be a worthy son-inlaw of the daring adventurer of the Pacifi The story of Abbott's life is told by the China Pres...

Barefoot Indian Girl Is Winner of Beauty Prize MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16. — Fame came to Maria Bibiana Uribe over night and, from a simple, Indian maiden living with her parents: in ‘a tiny village in the Puepvla mountains, she has now become a social figure of the Mexican capital. Senorita Uribe was chosen as the most beautiful Indian girl in Mexico in a recent newspaper contest which extended over many months and in which more than 500 photographs were submitted to the jury. The Puebla Indian-girl received first prize and was brought to Mezico City to be the central figure at a number of society functions. Senora Pani, wife of the secretary of foreign re- lations, invited her to a recent tea where she met many of the social leaders of the city. Barefoot Maria, wearing the char- acteristic dress of her race and tribe was not at all abashed and that night occupied a gayly decorated box at a theater entertainment given in her honor. She says, however, that she cares not for the glitter of society and that “unless something happens” she will not leave her mountain home. Kitchen Table Makes * Sand Table for Kiddie We desired a sand table for our youngster to use on the porch in in- clement weather, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. The sand tables for sale in the stores were both ex- pensive and clumsy, so I Bought 2 second hand kitchen table for a rea- sonable price, and my husband did the re: He nailed the table drawer shut and cut out of the table top the surface above the drawer. This made an excellent cavity for the sand. Around the edge and set back a few inches, he nailed a strip of woo@ as @ guard-rail for the sand. Then he sawed off the table legs to make the table the proper height for the baby. With the pieces of sawetoff legs and a few planks, he made a bench to fit the table. Then he painted both sand table and bench, and the outfit de- lighted the youngster.

Braddon in a recent newspaper article giving impressions he received while acting as commissioner for Australia in the United States. Mr. Braddon says that the typical successful American business man is not necessarily a course-mennered vulgarian and that municipal politics ure not wholly corupt.

If many folk are compelled to more this year, authorities fear that lots of them will be like the person who didn’t know where he was going but was on his Way. Prospects were similarly cheorless last year until the legislature enacted laws that enabled thousands of renters to stick with the old apartment in spite of landlords and high rentals. These lawa, which have resulted in much additional work for attorneys and magistrates, provided the land- lords could not recover their property by dispossessing tenants except for one of four reasons. One of these wan that the person holding on to bis apartment was objectionable. That always was a recognized excuse for ejection and not infrequently tenants seemed unable to break themselves of the habit of being objectionable every time an outsider offered their land: lord more rent than they were will- ing to pay, But under the new laws ft is up to the judge, not the Innd- lord, to decide whether a tenant Is sectionable. Judge Decides Rent Increase. ‘The only other recognized reasons for ejecting tenants are for the land- lord to want the property for imme: diate occupancy by himself or fam- My, to demolish the building to make way for a new structure, or to turn over the apartment to a person who owns {t under the co-operative sys- tem. If the tenant refuses to pay © rent increase, he isn’t dispossessed, he goes to court and the judge de- eldes what the price shall be. Great numbers of leases expire on September 30, and landlords have sent out stacks of notices to vacate. In some instances, they already have signed eantracts with “other tenants effective October 1, but this year the contacts do not guarantee delivery of the property on that day. For the tenants, protected by new legislation, are not expected to give up without a strugsie. Many of them are sure to take the matter to court or'to the mayor's committee on rent profiteer- ing.

The “Flower Pot” is a tearoom built in a ramshackle building on the M. A.C. campus. It has a dining- room and a kitchen and some home- ly home-made ‘fixtures. Dreakfast,. huncheon and dinner are served. The food is furnished largely from the M. A. C. farm and by the boys and girls clubs which are conducted throughout the state under the direc- tion of the extension department of the college. Senior students, starting in September, will do all the work. It is called a practice house because the students after nearly completing their course in home economics in the kttchen of the college buildings can try out their art in the kitchen of the “Flower Pot.” ‘The tearoom is to be a non-profit making institu- tion when it gets well under way. That is it will be non-profit making except for the few needy girls, who are attempting to work their way through college and will be allowed to do so in the kitchen and dining- room of the “Flower Pot.” About $1,000 was needed to con- vert the old buliding into a tearoom.
