DERBIES AND CANES
 ARE GETTING SCARCE
old Customs Arc Fast Disappearing in the Streets 6 Golden
 Gate City

San Francisco, Doc. e6. --- San Francisco is a derbyless hat city. The only derbies worn are by women when they ride horseback in Golden Gate park.
 The traditions of tho old romping adays Of tho west still hang over the city. Sombreros are not in fashion, but,tho soft hat is the choice of San Francisco men. One never even sees bowler displayed In a haberdash- CTS window.
 The nearest approach to n stiff hat is straw which some of the more daring and fleet Of foot essay during the summer months. But there are comparatively few. In fact, sum- mer is called the coolest part of the year in San Francisco, and while this may not be literally true, yet chill trade winds contrive to make it seem so. The average summer temperature is 5s.
 San Francisco men are an inde. pendent lot" said natter. If you try to sell one derby, you insult him. He likes the old crasher."
 The cane is almost as scarce. Gen. orally speaking, only lame men wear them.
 Neither is there any sale for palm. beach suits.

PEDESTRIANS BLAMED
Reckless Walkers Arc Responsible For Many of the Street and High way Accidents.

Boston, Dec. 26.--A reckless group of pedestrians. numbering as high as 10 per cent, Is responsible for a pro- portion of street and highway ac- cidents. the committee on pedestrian hazards said in its report to the Massachusetts safety council made public today. The committee was appointed to study the question of automobile accidents with a view 10 removing some existing dangers and reducing the death rate.
 The committee declared that after studying the 345 deaths and es57 in- iuries caused by accident on the highways Of Massachusetts last year, it is convinced that accidents can be reduced below 5000 year if tho public will cooperate in solving the problems involved.
 Pedestrions who disregard police regulations at crossings. and chil- dren who use the streets as play grounds add to the danger, the re- port says. It Is proposed that the hour beginning l 1 8, m. on Monday, January |, be set aside for state wide appeal 10 pedestrians for par ticipation in a safety crusade.
