WHY CHINESE ARE BEARDLEss

WHY CHINESE ARE BEARDLESS
 Most of us have wondered why the Chinaman, in distinction from other men, does not grow a beard. Of course, some members of the race who belong to the male persuasion are exceptions to the rule. But the great majority of Chinamen have no hair upon the face. Dr. A. Dunlap of Shanghai, who has given con- siderable time to the subject, holds that the old Chinese custom of wear ing queues consumed all of the en- ergy provided by nature for the rais- ing of hair And now that the queue is out of fashion in China Dr. Dunlap thinks that boards may begin to grow Writing in an American med ical journal of recent date, he tells some very interesting things about the Chinese barber, the styles in hair etc.
 .'The nation wide cutting off of that Manchu invention-the queue has created a new class of modern barbers. I do not mean to say that the barber of old China has passed with his practices. which remind us of Occidental barbers in an ancient time Even in an as enlightened a city as Shanghai they are constant ly to be seen on the street corners.
 Today these old men can be seen with their washstands, basins and . single towel, which does for everybody, on the shady side of the street in summer and on the sunny side in winter The customer seats himself on a hard stool and the bar Der proceeds to father the front part of his scalp and to shave it, down to the ears. The scalp finished, the face is shaved, or rather passed over with the razor, as the growth on the average Chinese face is. ex ceedingly scant.
 Just as our barbers ask if we will have a shampoo, the Chinese wishes to know if his customer will have his ears shaved. I have been unable to find out how and why this practice started, but apparently it is very old, since it is followed by practically all the Oriental races.
 Muscular treatment forms another important function of the barber. As have noticed them l have thought this might well have been the origin of osteopathy. With the barber's foot raised to the stool be- side the customer, first one arm, and then the other is laid over his knee pulled, rolled, flexed, and massaged. This done, the forehead may be attacked and the skin stretched and pulled.
 At odd moments the barber is a doctor for persons having fever, which, in the minds of the less en- frightened, means the presence of an evil spirit in the body. For the purpose of letting out levers the barber uses a sharp needle or a knife needle. with which he pune lures the forearm or front of the chest in numerous places. A fair amount of blood is drawn in this way The leech is also used for the same purpose.
 Incidentally l might say that the rule of every Chinese medicine man or barber-doctor is pay as you en- ter Treatment is given much more carefully, perhaps, if the fee is on the table before he starts''

MYSTERY BLACK

Solved al iast Is the year old mys- tery Of the black leather bag. Today the bag, with it's valuable contents. is On the way to its owner. F.. Launcelot lIildebrand. sometime of London, Liv- . erpool. Chicago, San Diego. Las Ve- gas. N. NJ. and last but not feast. Rumble Bee. Ariz.

 Perhaps the reason was that Cap tain w. Long, of Cadegan Gardens, London, is with the Crusaders in dis tant Jerusalem. At any rate. he nev- CT responded to an inquiry sent him occasioned by a note in the black bag which said that in case of accident to E. Launcelot Hildebrand to notify Captain Long of Cadegan Gardens. There seemed to be enough letters, mining claims. receipts for the sale of horses in carload lots, water right grants and other legal and personal papers packed in the mysterious black bag to locate any person any where in the world, but all except one failed to divulge even the approxi- mate habitat of the illusive Mir Hill debrand
 The last remaining clue. which eventually proved that the owner of the bag was an actuality and not a fiGment of the overworked brain of Mir.

that town, but the failure of MT. Hil-
 debrand to make inquiry for his bag
 still remains unexplained. although it can be accounted for in general
 way.
 Long experience of the Pacific Steamship Company has proven that a large proportion of travellers leave valuable articles behind and are not able to recall. even approximately i where they left them. A report just
 compiled by A. E. Gardner. head of the Pacific Steamship Company's commissary department, on the sub iec' shows that during the year 49 1 articles of value were left in state rooms by passengers. Of this number only 129 were claimed ny the own

 had to he run down as was Mr. Hil- dcbrand
 | According to Mir Gardner. to per | son not acquainted with the ins and
 outs of a lost and found department | of q steamship or railroad company
 or q large hotel. it is astonishing how
 careless the travelling public is with
 regard to it's valuables. The years gieanings included numerous watches the value of one being $500. A pas senger on the Yale walked blissfully
 ashore, leaving behind wallet con l taining $500 in cash. Incidentally, the honest steward who found the wallet and turned it over to the company re-
 ceived no reward from the owner when he finally claimed it.
 MT FIildebrand left his bag on the Admiral Schley in October, 1916 For several months it was held without being opened. awaiting its owner to claim it. Then it's contents were ex-
 amined, their value ascertained, and the world wide search for MT. Hide brand was begun. Letters of inquiry addressed to him at the Onwentsia ! Polo Club. and Deer Path Inn, Lake Forest, Ill.,. Coronado Country Club, Coronado. Cal. and elsewhere failed
 to reach him. Inquiries sent to the
 secretary of the Arizona Cattle Crow
 CTS Association at Phoenix, to the
 postmaster at Rumble Bee, Ariz., and
 to various other persons in this coun-
 try and Europe were equally futile.
 The lost and found department ciung to it's quest however to the very
 last address in the baffling black bag. The determination to find the owner
 became an obsession with Mir. Otto sen. He dreamed about it at night and
 saw its many papers march across the
 foot of his bed in tantaliZing array.
 No more, however, will it hang, fig
 uratively speaking, about his neck, for it is now on it's way to E. Launce- lot Hildebrand.
