STATE STREET
SANTA BARBARA
BACK ON JOB
BY United Press Leased Wire

SANTA BARBARA, July s.
"Business as usual" was the sign
flung across Santa Barbara s State
street today as the quake-ruined
thoroughfare was thrown open to
traffic for the first time in 10 days.
Barren of its former beauty, its
Spanish structures levelled by
quakes and wrecking crews, there
was, nevertheless, thriving bust
ness.
Merchants erected tents or i'm
promptu wooden shacks on their
store sites, and dispensed goods sal
vaged from the ruins. 1t was warm
and sultry and soda fountains were
popular with residents and tour
lists. Pretty feminine soda jerkers
in white MILDLY blouses and sailor
hats dispensed the liquid refresh
ments. Around their hats were
banners which said: ''It ain I gon
ma shake no more.
Marines still patrolled the quake
zone. Occasional mild tremors shook
the city. The shakes, however, are
less frequent and severe, and no
longer cause excitement.
