iBarbary Coast to be Disappointment
 to Frisco Visitor

San Francisco, Feb 18.-Those who
 may come to San Francesca at the time of the democratic convention the latter part of June with the idea of experiencing thrill by visiting the I"Barbary Coast" will be disappointed Many of the resorts, celebrated in story and verse as the scenes of des- Iperate adventure, where cheap board ling house operators, commonly known Ias "crimps." freely piled their trade sof shanghaiing sailors for unscrupu-
 lous sea captains, are permanently closed. Others have but the name 10 fthe places that once flamed with color, music and revelry.
 Long before national prohibition was generally considered possibil- ity, "Barbary Coast" section of
 Pacific street extending back from the bay front, half dozen blocks to where Chinatown touches the lta1- ian district, had been rendered inno- cuous by the prohibition of the sale of liquor in the long row of dance halls there.
 The main artery from this district
 to Market street, San Francisco's s principal thoroughfare, is Kearney
 street, where once it is declared,
 within a hour enough reckless spir- its could be picked up to start almost any sort of desperate enterprise. Now
 Kearney is one of the quietest and most respectable business streets.

l Raising Runt Pig
 was First Stunt of E. T. Meredith

Des Moines, Ia., Feb. 18.-Raising a runt pig into prize winning animal was the first experience of Edwin IT. Meredith, publisher and business man, nominated by President Wilson to be secretary of agriculture. The pig was given MT. Meredith by his father, then a store keeper, when the family lived near Atlantic. la. Mr. Meredith was 13 years old at the time. His father told him if he raised the pig he could have the prof. it's He raised the animal into a big, healthy hog.
 Later the Meredith family moved to farm near Marne, la. It was here the young man received his first actual experiences in farming.
 When 19 years old young Meredith came to Des Moines to continue his schooling. He paid his board to his grandfather, Thomas Meredith, with
 money he earned by odd jobs, while attending Highland Park college.
 Thomas Meredith published The Farmers Tribune, political paper and young Meredith, when 21 years old, went to work for his grand. father at s3 a week. The grand father decided to sell the paper, and it was purchased by Mir. Meredith
 and printer. The printer partner soon sold out and MT. Meredith be- came the sole owner of The Farmers Tribune. In October, 1902, the name
 of the publication was changed to
 Successful Farming. The first edi- tion of Successful Farming contain ed 16 pages. The February edi-
 ton this year contains 278 pages o1
 reading matter A number of other
 magazines are published under his
 direction.
 Mir. Meredith is democrat and
 in 1916 was defeated for governor of Iowa by w. L. Harding, republican. During the war Mir. Meredith was
 one of the S1 year men serving the government. He was member of the United States labor commission
 sent to Europe in 1918. He is di- rector of the federal reserve bank in Chicago, and also president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. e

Varied Claims by
 Germans Against United States Army

American Headquarters. ,Coblenz, Germany, Feb. 18.-Claims for dam ages to streets, buildings, farms and even individuals all reputed to have been done by American soldiers or American equipment of some kind since the army of occupation reached the Rhine, aggregate something more than 5,o0o,000 marks. Those all lowed total approximately 25O,O00 marks. Many claims are unique and some without any justification.
 A woman who contended that her facial appearance had been marred for life, owing to cuts caused by fly ing glass due to an explosion at an ammunition dump, sent in the modest claim for 25O marks. It was allowed.
 Another woman, whose husband had been killed by an American mill itary policeman who was chasing dis tributers of contraband liquor, sub mitted claim to the Americans for 250,000 marks, contending that her sole support had been taken from her. The Americans maintained that the German had been killed by the Am. erican soldier who was acting within his rights in line of duty. The claim was disapproved.
 Some of the claims are humorous. Last summer, the Eighty-ninth divis- ion borrowed goat for a circus 1t its headquarters. Recently a claim was filed with the American town major asking damages on the con tention that the health of the goat had been injured, This claim was pigeonholed.
 A Rhineland farmer recently de- manded five marks for bean pole alleged to have been stolen by m American soldier. An army com, mission heard the case and threw out the claim on the ground there was no evidence to show that an Am erican had committed the theft.

Chlorine Gas As
 Remedy for Flu

\ Fayetteville, Ark. Feb. 18.-The de- Ipartment of chemistry o1 the Univer-
 sity of Arkansas is trying an exper- Fiment to test whether or not the in- shalation of dilute chlorine gas for Ia few minutes each day will have any effect on the avoidance of influenza.
 The idea was created after it became
 known that a town in which a chlo-
 rine plant was located did not have
 "a case of influenza in 1919, and not a member of the chemistry faculty suffered with the disease.
 Accordingly, students and men
 bers of the faculty who wish to
 breathe the gas for five minutes each day are doing so, and it waits only for time to see if they take |influenza, or when they do, if it will be in a light form. The chemistry department is keeping strict record
 of each person who takes, the treat
 ment, including age, weight, height and whether he has suffered from influenza before. Both men and women students are taking gas each day. Observations are also be- ing made of an equal number of stu dents not taking the treatment, to see if chlorine is really an enemy oi influenza.
