The Church OF San Francisco was built
In the shape of cross, with a central
hall. and a smaller hall crossing this at
right angles. Just over the cross were
three domes, each big as the largest
circus tent. Two of these domes are still
intact. but the central one has been de-
stroyed by the earthquake. and that part
is rooted alone by the sky. The vines
have climbed up the walls and entered
the dome. and bong lianas hang down into
the church. 1t is now 40 years since
these buildings We're destroyed. and its
ruins are practically unknown. If they

When an amateur shoplifter or woman
who is known to the management as d
woman of wealth and position is caught
with stolen goods. she is not always hus-
tied off to the police court. In these pc
culiar cases she is usually brought into
the superintendent office, and if she con-
fesses and gives up the stolen goods ana
satisfies the superintendent that it was
her first offense. or that she is the VIC
tim of the disease called kleptomania.
then she may not be arrested. But IL
she is allowed to go without being prose-
cuted she is first compelled to sign form
of release This release is to protect the
store from any damage suits she might
afterward bring against them. If per-
mitted to go without prosecution Wom-
an might claim false arrest and bring
suit for heavy damages against those
involved. This form of shoplifter re-
lease must always be signed by those
amateurs or kleptomaniacs who are per-
mitted to go after being caught stealing.
