HAIR CUTS WILL COST MORE.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. I4.--Nany a
thrifty Chicagoan has hdi his hair
trimmed today, and thereby saved ten
cents. Had delayed his visit to the
striped-pole establishment until to-
morrow or later his hair cut would
have cost him just one dime more.
The increased price is the result OF
"A agreement entered into by practical
ly all of the barber shops of Chicago.
The BARRIERS believe they are justified
in raising their prices. They explain
that business is not what it oncs was
before the advent of the safety raz-
or Supplies cost more and wages
have advanced. So they unanimously
decided to offset the high cost of liv-
ing for themselves by making it high
er for other people. Under the new
scale to 90 into effect tomorrow all
first-clas shops will charge 35 cents
for a hair cut. And if the ideas of
some of the BARRIERS are carried out
it will not be long before the custo-
mer pays 25 cents to get his beard
trimmed, 30 cents for a facial massage
and perhaps 90 cents for n shave.

TRY TO SAVE CULT.
LEADER FROM PRISON

SPRINGFIELD, H., Dec. IA
Arguments were heard in the Illinois
supreme court today in the case of
Eveleyn Arthur See, the Chicago cult
leader, whose trial attracted wide
spread attention year or more ago.
See was convicted and sentenced tn
the penitentary on charge of abduct-
ing Mildred Bridges, who, with her
mother, was among See'e most prom
inent disciples and inmates of his
temple. Pending the appeal of his
case the cult leader has been at lib
erty under bail The belief prevails
that conviction will be a difficult
matter in the event of second trial
for the reason that the father of the
Bridges girl, who is prominent in
Chicago business circles and who in
stigated the prosecution of See, has
since become reconciled to his wife
and daughter, both of whom are still
loyal to the cult leader.

commission for which Mr.. Burdick is
engineer. The map is wonderfully
complete in details, showing not only
the physical condition but the build
ings present, and prospective, the civ
ic center and also all the proposed
structures for the exposition grounds.
In the interests Of the commission
MIR. Burdick made two trips to San
Francisco and assisted in selecting a
site for the proposed Colorado build
ing. He has prepared an extensive
report to the Legislature which will
be presented when the commission
asks for the appropriation for the
building. The map is to supplement
the report. The object of the build
ing and extensive presentation of
COlorado's resources is to attract the
attention of the million eastern Wis
itors who will attend the fair in 1915
and persuade them to use their stop
over privilege to familiarize them
selves with our great state. 1t would

When Soldier Summit and Tennes-

become fashionable on the Denver &

nounced in Denver that locomotive
engineers on those divisions affected
by the change will be given first op.

pay, it is said, will remain about the
same. Trainmen will continue as a,
