WHISPERS MAY COME
 INTO STYLE AGAIN

The London newspapers are predict ing that the full beard will come into fashion both in Europe and America as a result of the war. War has always influenced the style in whiskers, even so far back as the time of Alexander the Great, who required his soldiers to shave off their boards because a beard was a handle which an enemy could seize.
 The British militarv campaign which ended at Wata:'-= ':ae t'a mustache pouular in England. Many O. the sol diers in that great battle were mus tached. and the returning troops, well comed as heroes, excited the envy of young men civilians and the mustach- es of the soldiers were copied.
 The Crimean War in the '50s prot the full beard Jack into fashion again In that campaign British soldiers spent long months n the trenches, where they had nc chance to shave. Their boards grew. and they wore them when they eturned to England.

Arrangements are being made to have the United States transport Crook take out load of Matanuska turnips on a late trip after the crop is gathered It is estimated that the Matanuska district will have a crop of 300 bushels of turnips, rutabagas, and Petrowskies. The latest quota tions on turnips are to the effect that they are selling at $40 per ton in Se- attle. Freight on turnips is quoted at $30 per ton on the regular line steamers. and it is believed that the government can be prevailed on to take out the crop on the government vessel, thereby saving the farmers $500 to $1,200 in freight

CONTENDING FACTIONS IN CHINA EACH IS
 CONSTITUTIONAL"
Two Factions Each Set Up A President, Each Claiming
 To Be Legal One

PEKING, Sept. 1.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Constitu- tionalitv ic iia -, behind which con tending factions in China are taking refuge. Premier Yuan Chi-jui insists that the republic which he re-estab- lished in Picking with Vice-President Feng Kuo-chang at its head, is the constitutional government of China.
 The so-called parliament at Canton consisting of fifty or sixty members of the dissolved parliament insists that it is the constitutional government of China, and that Ii Yuan-hung still is still the president
 The "constitutionalists" now active in south China under the direction of Sun Yat-sen, have contested every inn portant change in the central govern ment during the last few months, and denounced it as unconstitutional. They say Ii Yuan-hung has no right to dissolve parliament, and that there certainly is nothing in the Ranking provisional constitution which justi- fled such action.
 Consequently, according to their line of reasoning. Feng Kuo-chang is neither the legal president nor the le- gal acting president of China
 There is some doubt as to what Feng Kuo-c -chang's own contention is as to his legal status. While he has per m'tted all foreign legations to be pre-
 led to him as president and signs official documents as president, he is represented to provincial authorities as being only acting president It is
 '''eved that Feng Kuo-chang is un- doubtedly anxious to be elected presi- dent by parliament legally consti- tuted, or constituted as legally as it is possible to do so under the present unsettled conditions in China. He has held out against the plan of his cab inet to have national council formed with five members from each province to act as a parliament
 Feng Kuo-chang heads a de facto government which actually exists in Picking, and has the support of nine- teen provinces and the recognition of all important foreign powers There fore. the efforts of the opposition in the south to oppose the Picking gov ernment and deny its legal existence, thus far seem futile.

NEW WORKERS JUST FOLKS

The first thing that strikes one about New York is that people are just people there, the same as anywhere else. The man who wears straight collar with his tie climbing round his neck; the woman with the bottomless purse where she loses her car tickets; the little man with the hard hat; the big man with the soft hat, and the medium size man with no hat at all: the gum chewing stenographer; her clove chewing employer; the q says to him, says" folk-you find them in New York just like anywhere else. Only they travel around in subways and on elevated railways and things, and sometimes they move little fast CT than we do in Montreal. But they're just folks-a certain percentage of water. carbohydrates, glucophosphate, etc., same as here.
 New Workers do not live in dress suits and drive around in taxicabs un- til ' in the morning, whatever Mir Cobb may say. At in the morning the New Yorker is bolting his toast and coffee in his little hom ein the Bronx or the Jersey shore and reading his morning paper. At noon Mr. New Yorker trots out to a one-arm lunch room and lines up for his "drop the egg, two in" just like a Montrealer. unless he goes to the help yourself res taurants, which have many tiers of boxes like those at the postoffice where you fetch your own mail, with glass fronts so you can see what's in- side-Montreal Star.

He waved the handkerchief across

Hello" soliloquized Bruce, as, at
the end of a two-mile jaunt, Gyp
came to a halt. It was beside the
high stone wall surrounding the old
mansion only casually noted by
Bruce before this. A heavy wooden
door fitted a space in the solid ma
sonry. Gyp shifted under the crack
at its base. Then he looked at his
master as if to say that this was the
quarry sought for.
Him. reflected Bruce. "Gyp isn't
usually wrong. What is that?"

beating on the inside of the door.
Then there were angry, half-sobbed

There was a tree six feet away

peedy impulse. He pulled himself
up into it. Now he could look over
the wall. He uttered a low but dis
