Baia finished his FIRST man inside Of
two minutes, and gained at once. Pres
entity the air was full of hair and pro-
test. with now and then a little blood
flowing. Outside men were bowling for
admission. but their cries were as moth
ing TO those OF some of the victims as
the pace grew hotter
Men wanted to fight for whiskers and
mustaches they lost, because many mis-
takes were made. but the able referee
escorted them to the street.
At the end of the first thirty minutes
seventeen victims had passed under
Baia's razor and clippers; Anderson
had operated on fourteen: Minette on
fifteen. and Deacon on twelve.
Deacon dropped out, needing the pro-
tests and threats that came from those
who had been in his chair. Anderson
and Minette tried TO work faster. Baia
put on more steam. The crowd out
side, told that there was no chance of
any more getting in. set up a wild yell.
and it was necessary TO call upon the
police TO control them. Also some that
had passed through the ordeal had to be
controlled.
Baia was an easy winner. making a
record OF thirtyfive haircuts and shaves
in one hour; Minette executed thirty.
Anderson twenty eight, and Deacon

GREAT DOT CONTEST
CLOSES TOMORROW
Eleventh Hour GueSSerS Confident
of Drawing Prizes.

Only one more day In which to count
the dots remains.
Many unique methods have been de-
vised to solve The Times dot contest.
Numbers have acquired the fever OF late
In the contest. but the flame burns just
as fiercely as before. Disregarding the
lateness Of time these eleventh hour
folk are confident that they have an
equal chance with the laborers who be-
gan at the first hour. and have diligent-
ly worked through the entire battle.
Sunday young couple began to count.
With the Intermission of meal times th'
day of rest was devoted to the fascinat
ing pursuit. Their method was original
and perhaps effective. Cutting the dia-
gram out of the page they carefully cut
1t into small bits, taking care not TO cut
through a dot. Then FASTING the scraps
on white paper. each was counted sep
arately This painstaking task was gone
through six times and finally four guess
es were taken and the other day friend
saw the lady carefully arranging her
parlor furniture so as to leave space
for the piano.
Even more laborious was the self-ap-
pointed task of a paterfamilias. With a
tiny brush of red paint he touched out
each dot until he had painted fifty.
Then, with a hat pin he proceeded to
prick out the fifty painted dots The
entire surface of the puzzle was treated
in this manner. The next morning hay
ing dreamed that his answer was not
correct the victim OF the dots began the
treatment again. this time using green
paint After exhausting the contents
of a large paint box he has finally de-
sisted and is waiting with iIl-concealed
Impotence for the watch he is certain
is his reward.
The term "dotty" has heretofore been
rather ambiguous to the average mind.
Today the population of the Capital
rich and poor. young and old, know per-
fectly the full meaning of the slang. For
they are all affected with the raging
fever "dotasmia."
