the petition, In part. that many Of

CAN'T SELL VESSELS.

Manila, =. 1.-The right OF Philip
pine ship owners TO sell their vessels
without government sanction is eX-
pressly denied in Il decision made by
the board OF public utility commission
ers. The board refused the petition OF
Y~nchausti g. Co. = local shipping firm.
for permission to sell the interisland
steamer Governor Fer5es.
The board says that II can see no
reason in Law or economic morals why
he firm of YncEau.ti & Co. should be
permitted 20 make the 100 per cent
profit which The sale would mean to
them, instead of the annual 80 per cent
profit. which the vessel Is yielding. at
the cost of the welfare of the people of
the Philippines. The Governor Forbes
has been plying between Manila and
Ilollo, tho sugar metropolis, for some
years. though this service has been
suspended for the past few months
while the vessel was on charter to
trans Pacific carriers.
The board does not attempt to pass
upon the legal aspects of it's decision.
but confines itself to a statement that
the organic act. which established the
board of public utility commissioners.
gives it power to refuse permission for
the sale of public utility company
property.

New Workers Buy More Homes.
From the New York Sun.


Profits from war brides earnings
from contracts for supplying warning
nations with Implements. fear of in
fantile paralysis and the natural de-
sire to w q home in the country are
responsible for an unusually large
home buying movement which has
been a feature of New Works suburban
realty market for months 1t is a long
time since so many costly. moderate
priced II inexpensive suburban homes
have been sold.
Several developers. men who have
done much in building up The outlying
districts. claim the current buying
movement in the suburban field is the
strongest and holds promise of being
the greatest they ave ever seen.
A man acquainted with the financial
affairs of many suburban builders. de-
velopers, banks and mortgage COM
panies Said it was surprising the CAPT
tai which had been put into homes and
estates since the first year of the war.
When asked to estimate the sum he re-
fused, explaining it was impossible to
do and be anywhere near right.
When asked if $50. 900 600 was too
liberal he replied he thought that esti-
mate u conservative one. II would not
hesitate" he said. Ito put it close to
800, 600. 900"
The number Of homes that nave
been bought and sold is equally prob
lematical: Estimates as to the number
run into many thousands.

MUSTACHE OF BRITISH
SOLDIER NOW DOOMED.

Old timers in the army regret tho

distinct Sign OF relief. 1t was compar-.
ativeiy easy in the old days to con-
troll the army mustachioS. but in tho

SO on order has beer issued striking

Majority Of Goods Marry.
From the San Francisco Bullet

From the San FRANCISCO l5u1lellU.
Berkeley-More college women marry
than do others, although they are more
deliberate about it, is the conclusion of
A. l.. Price. a university statistician. who
has just finished c~ataloging graduates of
the University of California.
According to Prices statistics, compiled
from the vital statistics. of %. 249 alumni, IS
per cent of all women over 10 years old
are married. Women graduates of the
university beat that average by 6-10 off 1
per cent.
Price sees a tendency for college wom-
en- to wed men out of the university.
Three times as many women graduates
have married men who do not hold de-
grees as have married university grad
yates.
The occupations of women graduates
show that teaching is the only activity
that can compete with matrimony. One
tined for matrimony, and one out of every
three for pedagogy.
