She swallowed the drink and held out her

gerous towards couldn't stand it. Voyages took
months instead of days and once sailor landed
he was ready for anything; mostly liquor and
women, the things he missed most at sea.
And along the Barbary Coast he found both
Some of the toughest characters l ever knew were
Coast women. The Frog Catcher" Big
Louise, = Mag the Hag," "Pigeon-Toe SAL Cow
boy Maggie" and ladies like that.
When she was sixteen, Jeanne Bonnet walked
out on her parents and started making her own
way She pretty thing, with big black eyes
glossy, black hair and skin that was white as sea
foam. She killed few years before first
went to Frisco, but met many who'd known her.
Before she twenty she fell in love with
a sailor. He loved her, too and planned to swallow
the anchor and get a steady job ashore where he
could marry and look after his pretty sweetheart
properly But night he disappeared.
In Frisco in those days no one bothered much
about sailor who disappeared. They paid SO for
every corpse fished out of the bay, the only
place Jeanne looked was the morgue. But she
never found him and it was supposed that he was
shanghaed to and either lost his life or forgot
his girl in some distant port. Leastways he never
came back.
But Jeanne, like many sailors sweetheart,
believed that some day he'd come sailing back to
her and in order to keep going until then she got
job in Coast dive The sailors fell like mad for
her lovely face and slim white hands and the pa
tron of the Joint, greasy, yellow-mugged Levan-
tine told her mighty sharp what she was supposed
to do.
You drlnka with sailor-rs, savvy?' he
wheezed "You make sailor buy plenty booze,
pay you commish" Many more things she had to
do but Jeanne cut above the Coast gals.
'Lissen Greasy" she snapped. 81 don't
roll DRINKS, see? And don't cheat poor sailors
outta their pay. Furthermore, any what lays
paw on me gets a set o finger nails in his eyes.

good for this my place
yeah, but gals got to live she smiled
drily.
It was foggy Spring night like they have
in Frisco In the outer room piano was jangling
away under the shaky fingers of blind Irishman.
Shouts and yells from the streets outside and
few sailors were roaring a chanty as they banged
their glasses the bar. Jeanne watched the
sweating face of the patron his slippery eyes
roved slowly over her
Take good look, it's all yell get" she
sneered.

the Fire of 1906 that the Barbary Coast got really
cleaned up
Old sailors who shipped with me used to tell
me yarns about that place-yarns that you'd
hardly believe if you read em. For instance, when
all them windships were stranded in the Bay and
the crews deserted them for the gold fields, mighty
few knew what to do with them. Many just rotted
and sank at their anchorageS
The Mantle, however made more money after
she'd been abandoned than she ever did before
She was a 1,000-ton vessel and brought $50 immi-
grants from Panama to search for gold So many
were coming ashore that there wasn't room for ALL
The Mantle was anchored close inshore and some
one got bright idea. They shored her up to pre-
vent her lying over in the mud, and cut doorWays
in her hull Above the main entrance was the sign:
REST for the Weary and Storage for Trunks.
The rest of the ship was divided into offices
and don't know what all. She made $4,000 a
month til she Quilted in the fire of 1851. That
gave other sharpshooterS good idea and SHIPS
turned into stores, tenementS, hotels, laun-
dries and even iails. The Georgian floated OPP

around her and she stuck til she burned on dry

New Peaks Reached
By Domestic Cotton
Consumption
Defense Orders Account
For 5 to 10 Per Cent
Of Big Volume

BY TIE Associated Press.
BOSTON, March %. Domestic
cotton consumption is at the highest
level in the Nations history and
defense orders account for only be-
tween 5 and 10 per cent of total
buying, Charles K. Everett, director
of merchandising of the Cotton Tex
tile Institute, told the Boston Retail
Trade Board and the National Asso-
citation of Cotton Manufacturers to-
day.
Recalling that five years ago
many were resigned to an annual
domestic consumption of 100000
bales or less" Everett said that con-
sumption during the 1940-41 crop
year apparently will exceed 100000
bales, land mills today actually are
operating at the rate of 10000, 600
bale-a-year consumption"
He predicted that National Cotton
Week, May 1924. will give greater
impetus to domestic cotton consurnp-
tion than any single merchandising
event ever staged"

Greek bonds rose as much as points

Stock Averages

Associated Press Financial Writer.

ASSOCAdlCO TLcoS A1ldlS4oA "1AJc1s
NEW YORK, March 28.-Wall
Street had a change of heart re-
garding the stock market today and
many bidders on yesterdays rally
switched to the selling side.
At the start the list evidenced a
reluctance to extend the upswing
of the previous session and early
fractional advances soon were con-
verted into moderate losses. Motors
and steels stumbled after midday
and recessions of l to 2 points were
well distributed. Few recoyeries were
discerned at the close.
With the exception of Union Pa.
cific, which dived to new years
low, rails generally exhibited re-
sistance. There was no particular
news to account for the relapse Of
~. p" but it was suggested some
of the offerings here may have been
from disappointed purchasers of the
"over-the-counter" block OF this
stock which was sold in January at
"a. 1t was down around rs today.
Dealings never attained any real
speed on the reversal and transfers
for the full proceedings approx
mated 100000 shares, against about
$50 900 the day before.
Backsliding tendencies were at
triouted partly to little less cheer
fulnesS over the Yugoslavia defiance
of the Nazis and conjectures as to
just how far the Government at
Washington would go in stemming
spreading strikes. 1t was noted that
while one Bethlehem Steel labor
dispute was settled, a walkout was
announced at another important
plant of the company.
Renewed strength of agricultural
commodities was credited to action
of congressional committees in
boosting farm appropriations.
Among stocks Chrysler fell to new
low ground for 1941. Backward also
were United States Steel, Bethle-
hem, General Motors, United States
Rubber, Douglas Aircraft, Du Pont,
United States Gypsum, Philip Nor
ris, Santa Fe, American Telephone,
General Electric and American
Smelling.
Paramount Pictures made a new
high for the move. On the upside
at times were Loft, General Steel
Castings preferred and Texas Corp.
