Illinois State License Law Has q

[Gate City Leased Wire Seryice.1
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Is barbering
diversion or real work? Is it a vo-
cation or an avocation?
Upon the answers to these ques-
tions depends the legality or illegality
of the new license law governing the
work of all tonsoriaI artists in this
state.
Webster defines vocation as de
stined or appropriate employment;
calling. occupation, trade and "avo-
cation as a "calling away; diversion" :"
Yet the BARRIERS certificate of reg
istration recently issued calls it an
avocation. BARRIERS who are threaten
ing to wage war on the state board OF
examiners over the license law have
seized upon this slight error and
propose to take the law before the
supreme court of the state.

The Nine Men on Board Were Saved

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Drifting for
twenty-four hours in q boiling asa,
clinging frantically to the top of the
deckhouse and expecting every mo-
ment to be washed to death, Captain
Meader and the crew of eight of the
old schooner McE,ssesn, were saved
from death by. efa British tramp
steamer Katherine, bound from Balti-
more to Tampico.
The McFadden left Jacksonville last
Monday and Thursday night she ran
into a gale near Cape Hatteras. Great
waves picked her up and threw her
towards the sky line, only to be caught
as she fell into the trough of the sea
and shook so that her ancient timbers
sroaned. After an hour or two OF this
game the vessel caught on the SANDS
OF Diamond shoals.
A little later the katherine sighted
the United States gunboat Paducah,
bound for Key West. and the casta-
ways were transferred to her.

This is the question that agitated
the maroons students tonight, fol-
lowing meeting of the faculty board
of athletic control, at which Coach
Stagg was authorized to schedule 1910
soccer games but was not authorized
to schedule regulation football con-
tests. This action was taken at a
special meeting of the board and
means that soccer is the only author
lied game for 1910 at the university
up to date. Coach Stagg will have to
wait until the board sees fit to do
something about the regulation games
before he can go ahead with his plans
for next fall.
The faculty's failure to endorse foot
ball is interpreted to mean that the
game is under suspension until the
rules are changed. If the changes ir
the rules to be- made in New York
next month fail to satisfy the pro
fessors, the future of the old-stylt
game at the midway institution il
said to be problematical.
