Plans to Utilize
 Jail for Hotel

Louisville, Ky. May 5.-James H Barr, jailer of the Jefferson County jail at Louisville, announces that he is considering utilizing part of his establishment as a "hotel" on spe- cial occasions, such as Derby Day, when the city is so full of visitors that the hotels cannot accommodate them. Since prohibition went into effect regular business at the jail has fallen off to such an extent as to render the institution unprofita- : ble. MT. Barr. took up the lodging house eXpedient as a means of sup plying the extra revenue for it's up- keep.
 If nothing is done legally to in terfere, the jailer said he would offer the dormitory space of the building at $1 per head per night. Guests would be isolated from the involun tary occupants of the institution, and Jailer Barr gives assurance their ac- commodations would be located "where they will be afforded the most complete protection"

'Rent-a-RazOr' is
 Plan to Reduce
 H. C. l.. That Fails

Fort Worth, Tex, May 6.-"The Rent a Razor and Shave Yourself
 Shop" has closed it's doors. The scheme designed to knock the barbers on the head for boosting the price of "scrapes" from 15 to 25 and from 20 to 30 cents, went away. The fellow
 who stated the unique shop is now Tn the barber business charging 30 cents for slaves and 50 cents for haircuts. Many fellows svho decided
 to combat the high cost of living by the "rent-a- -razor-and-s shave yourself shop" is wearing scared face and is now having his work done at barber schools or at home either by himself, his wife, brother or sis tetr. High cost of soap, laundry, rent, razor straps and other things is given as the cause for closing of the shop which month or so ago was thronged with customers each await ing his turn to "scrape" himself.
 The 'rent-a-razor-and-sh shave-y your self-shop' came into existence when the price of barber work went up The promoter of the scheme place ] dozen mirrors along long wall, bought a dozen raZors and like number of mugs and brushes, hun ired cakes of soap, some towels and razor straps, and opened for busi- ness. He rented a razor, furnished ,he soap, towels and cheap talcum powders, and the customers shaved himself and paid nickel. It was said at times as many as 500 men 'scraped" at the shop daily. But he price of talcum powder went up. Customers forgot to leave the towels when "scraping." Bars of soap were occketed by the customers, razors n some instances, went astray, and water was used too freely. Too, the demands of the customers called for
 ll-day and all-night work, and the ,eenest of razors. So the : shop losed, and the boss went into the
 arber business on a big scale. He s now doing thriving business in 1odern shop.

Women May Obtain
 Right to Occupy

Philadelphia, May S.-Whether wo. men shall be allowed to fill the pp,.
 pts ot Presbyterian churches or 4c
 act as elders, will be one of the i'm.
 portant questions considered nj tb,
 l32nd annual meeting of the Gen.
 eral Assembly of the Presbvterian
 Church, beginning here May 20.
 At the last general assemhlv 9
 speclal committee was appointed to
 determine the views of the constitu-
 ency on whether women should hold
 official position in the church or
 ganization. Dr. s. Hall Young. chair
 man, is withholding all information
 on the report A serious discussion
 IS anticipated on the measure of the
 continued participation of the church III the lnterchurch World Movemen4. | The New Era Movement. the Inter- church World Movement. an organ lzed union of Christianity, the rela- ton of Church to industry and the Killing of Christians by the Turks are the most important subjects to be discussed.
 The 1OCth anniversary of the Pres Dyteran Board of Education, which now Is combined with the college board in the general Board of Edu- cation, and the fiftieth anniversary or the women's boards of foreign missions will be observed in connec- tlon with the meeting.
 Dr. James Gray Bolton, chairman Of Of the publicity committee. points out in connection with the new era and interchurch movements that from 1890 to 1919 the Presbyterian church has grown from ten ministers, eight cen churches and 1000 commitments to 9.91S ministers, 9,S05 churches and l,603,033 members. The communi- cants, who are those on the roll in good standing, represent a Presby- teran constituency of 6,000 00O, in- cludinng baptized children and ad- herents who are not members.
 In l7S9, the year in which appears the first record of benevolence fori work outside the Presbytery or the individual church, there was 1852 devoted to this purpose. In 1919 the contributed for benevolence [ was S11 ,485,327.
 Dr. John Mcdowell, secretary of the board of home missions, and di- rector of the department of social service in the New Era Movement, will submit an exhaustive report on i the relation of the church to in- dustry. This is in accord with di- i rections given at the proceeding gem eral assembly.
 Dr. Mcdowell has conferred with employers and employees. His effort has been to reconcile differences along Christian lines. Establishment of schools for foremen is one sug- gestion he makes, in the belief that foremen are frequently the cause of clashes.

Folk Dancing as
 Training for the
 Stars of Gridiron

Amherst, Mass, May S.-Folk ianc- ing as training for football is being given candidates fer the Massachu- setts Agricultural College eleven this spring. Instead of lunging and charg- ing against a tackling dummy, husky candidates for places on the "Aggies" line are being taught the intricacies and graces of the English folk dances.
 Thirty men, with the broadness of shoulders and bulk of frame neccs- sary to the efficient football line man, are learning to do gracefullY the handkerchief folk dance known as "Laudanum Bunches,' and to trip lightly through other steps of the old dancing school. For time they were embarrassed as, waving handker- chiefs in the air they piroutted on one toe With an arm and hand eX- tended. but they have since taken to the dance and appear to enjoy it.
 The object of the dancing instruc- tion to the football men is to improve the coordination of mind and muscle and to keep the players constantly Ion their toes"

Plan to Build
 Up Coast Traffic

London, May G.--lncrcased cable facilities and the establishment of regular, fast passenger and freight services between New York and other rroints along the American coasts down to Buenos Aires are two of the most important natter; to which North and South Americans should give their attention, Edwin V. Nor can. United States ambassador to Brazil. told the Associated Press rep resentative here on the eve of his departure for Rio de Janeiro.
 "Business men in the United States find they are greatly handicapped in the conduct of their South American Interstate through the inadeouacy of direct cable and steamship faciIi- tles.' said Mr. Morgan. "There has been much discussion of this matter and, happily. scme improvement has been effected and others are now under way. But North American business men still regard with trepi- datIon voyage from New York to Elo. And he has somewhat the same fears over sending goods by the same route. British. Italian, French and Dutch companies have always pro vded more speedy, convenient and regular ocean transport facilities than those of the North or South American lines.
 "The need is not for services bet ter than those provided from this side. but for services equally as good. The matter is of sufficient inn portance to require the finding of a, solution of difficulties now in thc way"
 Ambassador Morgan breaches gospel of "get together" to Ameri- cans and Engliehnen who have South American holdinHs.
