and he Will know the basic principles
underlying mining geology, gold mill

and shave is fifty cents, which is an
even half dollar. So if you desire to
put one over on the barber Just call
for haircut and shave, give him
thirty-five cents for the haircut and
fifteen cents for the shave and credit
yourself with ten cents, which you
saved on the shave by getting a hair
cut at the same time. 1t might be
added that this policy has been adopt
ed for the purpose of doing away with
the annoyance of giving back change

natives wondered at first what the
company meant by wrapping towels
around the back of the seats. One
passenger was heard to remark that
on first look he thought he had got
ten into a barber shop. Don't know
what the occasion was-unless one of

sis it is easy to develop expressions
of opinion that are but forecast OF
the upheaval that the November vote
will register in this party of Califor-
MIA.
My campaign until now has been
largely a get-acquainted trip through
the district, but at every opportunity
have sought to emphasize my faith
that:
"a protective tariff is the very cor
nerstone of commercial prosperity.
and marks the difference between
good times and hard times.
"The nation must live nationally,
and must demand ror American citi-
zcns abroad the same protection that
we guarantee to citizens of other ma
tions resident here, while the surest
method of maintaining national peace
is to be able to compel national re-
spect.
conservation must be applied to
other resources besides those to which
the term was first applied. Child la
Dor must be prohibited, genuine COM
pensation ought to be paid to the work
crs unfortunate in the industries, the
aims and aspirations of honest labor
rot only for abundant employment and
ample wages but for the best working
conditions ought to be met and made
possible, and the demand for all of
these things would be tremendously
advanced and strengthened by the ex-
tension OF universal suffrage, for
women know and appreciate the value
Ct some of them more than men do.

ego committee is out with formal
statement in which it says the wet and
dry question has no place in the con-

California, former head of education

special investigator and worker with
tie Belgian relief work in the Euro
pean war zone. AT his first public ap-
pearance since his return to Berkeley
from the Old World, Dr. Barrows,
speaking before the Berkeley Johnson
Hughes club here, made this declara-
ticn:
'Now that Californians are given the
opportunity to send this big man into
the theater of national public life, it
is inconceivable that they will not do
so. There is, of course, absolutely no

reputation he may have gained among

Russian encroachment upon Turkey
was the direct cause of the Crimean
war. For many years nrevious to 1853,
Russia had cast covetous eye upon
Constantinople and the sultan's pos
sessions and had contrived in various
treaties to lay the foundation Of a
claim to something like a protectorate
over the Christians of the Greek
church in Turkey amounting to three
fourths Of the sultan's subjects in Eu-
rope. As early as 1914 Emperor Mich
olas had proposed to divide with
Britain the Inheritance Of the sick
