The black docks that lined the

sidio are gone and stately berths for
ocean liners have risen in their place.
The dingy bars that stood back of
them, where adventurers of all de
grees were once dropped, drug-stupe
fied, through trap-doors and into the
waiting boats below as part of the j
*reat “shanghai” game, all have been :
swept away. The “shanghai” was the
system for recruiting the crews of the
“lime-juicers,” the great deep sea
harks, that plied principally between
San Francisco and South American
ports. They got their name through
the fact that for more than a decade
those under English registry car* ,
tied a consignment of lime-juice on
every voyage to combat epidemics of
scurvey among the crews. With im
pioved conditions the seurvey disap
peared and the lime juice went back
into the water front cocktails.

PROHIBITION LAWS MAY
KNOCK CIDER MANUFACTURE
— * !
SPOKANE, Wash., June 24— Dan
ger that the manufacture of cider, one
of the principal by-products process
es of the fruit industry in the Pacific
northwest, may suffer practical exter
mination through the very /actor that
promised to give it national import
mce — prohibition — is seen by C. H.
iYiiberg, a cider manufacturer of this
city.
State laws forbidding alcohol in
cider, Mr. Foil berg says, render it al
most impossible for tbe manufacturer
and the dealer to stay within legal
limits, and place them at the mercy of
state and city officials. Within only a
few days after its manufacture, he de
clared, fermentation progresses far
enough to make the alcohol content
greater than the one-half of one per
cent permitted by the federal law.
Many thousands of tons of apples
that are useless for other purposes are
used for the manufacture of cider ev
ery year in this city alone, Mr. Feil
berg declared. If these apples were
thrown on the market he said, they
would bring down the price of higher
grade apples, with consequent damage
to the industry.
DRY COUNTRY HELPED
OUT THE THEATRICALS

CLEVELAND, 0., June 24— The
theatrical business has increased 50
percent since the country went “dry”,
according to John Cort of New York,
one of the country's leading producers
on a recent visit to Cleveland. He de
clared the dry era staved off a disas
trous period for the theatrjcal world.
