on the sounds. This very patient could

Shreveport, LA $3.50 unset dia-

gress, domestic and .self-styled widow
on recent afternoon when Detec-

as she started to swallow the gem.
Calling fof Detective Williams, who
was in the station at the time, Mr..
Eeidheimer seized the negres3 and
grabbing her below the Adams apple
before the Jewel could reach the epi-
glottis, the officer, by fine series Of
osteopathic mareuverings with his fin

gorge the diamond. Messrs. Williams
and Reidheimer were slightly bitten
in their successful efforts to rescue
the gem.
Col s. w. Neville of 909 Texas av-
enue, notified Chief Gray that he had
lost valuable diamond pin. Detec-
tive Reidheimer was assigned to the
case and short investigation con-
vinced him that the gem was In pGs-

MODEL MARKET
PLANNED IN FRISCO
GIGANTIC TRADING PLACE TO
FURNISH PRODUCE AT
Low PRICES.
TO Be kept MOST SANITARY
Hundreds of Stalle viii Be Con.
structed of White TiIe-Every-
thing to be Kept Under Glass.

San Francisco-Plans have been
completed for the building in San
Francisco Of one of the largest and
most sanitary retail produce markets
in the world. The market will be lo-
Gated at Eighth and Market streets,
in the heart of the business district,
on a $1,750,000 tract of land.
Hundreds of stalls will be built in
white tile. They will be rented to
farmers and butchers and orchardists
and vegetable growers, at price
probably of $50 a month. II costs
the average grocer $3.50 a month to
bring his goods to the people. The
difference will come in the price OF
the goods to the people.
The plan, as outlined by one Of the
members of the syndicate, is to build
structure 100 feet wide and $50 feet
deep, the full depth of the property.
| The place will be called Central Park
market, and will form one of the
| features of the civic center district.
Seattle, Baltimore, Boston and New
Orleans have similar markets, which
are feature of city life. In Seattle,
where produce is said to be from Is
| to so per cent cheaper than in this
city, stall renters live as far away as
| 400 miles, shipping fresh stuff every
| day to the member of the family that
| sells at retail.
Eggs may come up from the penin-
sula district every morning and find
| their way fresh to the housewife.
Vegetables may come in from the
ocean shore district. The river boats
may unload in the channel back of
the market, where the hauling price
will be considerably lessened.
Meat, instead of being piled up in
bales for fingers and flies to get at,
will be wrapped in oil paper, with
the weight stamped on the outside.
Vegetables will be sprayed with ice
water. Everything will be kept under
glass, OF in packages, where dirt and
dust cannot get in.
Back Of all this vision OF great
cheap market lies the will of Andrew
McCreery, who decreed that the prop
erty could not be sold in parcels by
his heirs. In his lifetime he had
many offers to sell parts of the land
But he held on and paid the taxes
and waited for the time to come when
it could be used as whole.
Since his death several offers have
been made to the heirs, but they in
volved ninety-nine year lease, ant
the McCreery brothers did not wan
to lose control Of the property. They
shared the ideas of their father about
it Under this arrangement they re
tain control of the property and al
the same time derive an income from
it in the rental of stalls and stores.

Then the thought of his degree came

He put forth renewed efforts. AT las
the goal was reached.
The professor attached his sigma

line. He had been gone just clever
minutes, but it was sufficient to obtair
his degree.

Widow Burns Her Money.

Washington.-Agai and again Il
