“BARBARY COAST” TAME
Notorious San Francisco Region la
Now Quiet.
Those who may come to Kan Fran­
cisco at the time of the Iiernocratlc
convention the latter part of June
with the Idea of exfierlenclng a thrill
by visiting ttie “Barbary Coaat’’ will
he disappointed.
Many of the resorts, celebrated In
story and verse, where cheap hoarding
house operators, commonly known as
•’crimps," freely (died their trade of
shanghaiing sailors for unscrupulous
sea captains, are permanently dosed.
Others have but the name of the
places that once flamed with Ail or, mu­
sic and revelry.
Long before national prohibition was
i generally considered a poaalbllfty,
"Barbary Count,” a section of Padflc
; street extending back from the bay
I front a half dozen blocks to where’,
Chinatown touches the Italian dla- 1
' trict, had been rendered Innocuous by '
the prohibition of the sale of liquor In 1
the long row of dance halls there.
The main artery from this district
J to Market street. San Francisco’« prln-
: dpal thoroughfare, is Kearney street, '
j where or ce. It Is declared, within an
- hour enough reckless spirits could be J
picked up to start almost any sort
I of desperate enterprise.
Now Kearney Is one of the quietest
I and most respectable business streets.

track In the yards In East St. Louis i
and took them Into custody. The two^
were eating pie. They had 80 cents'
between them. The girl told Ewing

and her mother about three years ago.
For a while. Rhe said, she lived at the
Soldiers’ Orphan home at Blooming­
ton. III., then went to live with her
brother In Flora.
“I love Roy." she declared “and I
want to marry him.”
The humane officer said he would

And of these 16,000,000 men,
more wear Blue Buckles than
any other kind of overall.

They all want overalls that wear
well and fit easy—overalls that do
not rip or bind.
Just this sort of wear and comfort comes with
every pair of Blue Buckles. They’re made with
the toughest, longest wearing denim—and lots of
it with big double-stitched, np-pioof seams with
heavy brass riveted buttons, and loops and buckles
that won’t come off. They are big and roomy, with
extra wide suspenders, big, convenient, reinforced
pockets, and a solid back band that holds the
shape and prevents ripping.
Ask for Blue Buckles the next time you buy
overalls.

DEER “CHUMS" WITH
COWS AND SHEEP
EPjht Point Buck Can Be Seen
Grazing on Farm in New
York.
Many are the Interesting Idiosyn­
crasies of wild life met with by the
Conservation Cornmlsxlon’« field force
as a result of flic many hours spent In
the open. Unusual or noteworthy oc­
currences are thus constantly being
brought to the atttentlon of the com
mission. An oddity of this kind which
was of particular Interest was recent­
ly reported by D. W. Rose, a game
protector of Richfield Springs, Otsego
county, who told of a handsome eight
point buck that could be seen almost
any day grazing Iri company with
cows and sheep on a certain farm in
his territory.
Accounts are not uncommon of deer
which lu the stress of winter have
entered ba hi yards and there satisfied
the pangs of hunger. But a deer
which In summer when food Is abund­
ant, has so far departed from its nat­
ural instincts of seclusion and self­
obliteration as to “chum up" with farm
animals and graze in an open pasture
was surely worthy of record.
The services of the camera man
were therefore requisitioned, and both
still pictures and movies of the un-,
usual deer were secured. The atari
actor behaved beautifully, from a'
photographer’s standpoint—was found
just where he was looked for, had no '
objection to the brightest sunlight, and (
went through all his paces In the most
approved manner.
Of course, being a wild deer, he had
to be approached with the utmost can-I
(Ion. Every photograph of him thatj
was obtained shows his head raised
in instinctive suspicion,
while his
lethargic companions are unconcerned-(
ly munching the grass. The best picture
of him was made by stalking up be- [
hind a feeding cow and waiting, with
camera all set. until the cow grazed
out of range, when a snap shot of
the deer and some of his associates (
was secured before he realized that
a stranger was in their midst.
The most natural explanation of the
unusual behavior of this buck Is that'
being unable to find the companion- ’
ship of his own kind, he took the
best substitute in the only other "big
game” that was available.

One man was killed, six badly Injured and the Hies of scores were en­
dangered when the scaffolding in front of a building on West 49th street
between Broadway and Seventh avenue crashed to the ground. This tele-
gnuphed picture shows the debris at the place where thousands of people
KO Into and out of the subway. The superintendent of the construction has
been arrested on a technical charge of homicide. That many others escaped
.death was miraculous as the collapse was during the rush hour when the
theaters were pouring their crowds into the street.
