FLEE AMERICAN GUNBOATS

Shanghai Aug. s.--Brigands who
have terrorized the upper reaches of
the Langtsze River In recent months
found sudden check put upon their
activities when American and British
gunboats were dispatched into the up-
per river from Shanghai, according to
reports that have filtered back to
Shanghai.
The gunboats, were sent up to
Chunking after a band of outlaws took
possession of the Robert Dollar III of
the Robert Dollar Company, of Shang-
hal. at Wanhsien in Szechuen province,
and were frightened away only by the
timely appearance of the American
gunboat PalsIs, which came in response
to distress signals.
The Robert Dollar II, on the maiden
voyage of the new up-river service
the Dollar company is establishing,
was fired. upon from shore after the
first encounter. Messages to Shang-
hal said that the bandits vanished in
to the hills on the appearance of the
gunboa Is.

ELLIS ISLAND

NATION OF LONG DETENTION.

New York. Aug. 3.--The slogan of
Ellis Island immigration officials
2hcnceforth is to be: Speed the incom-
ing guest-politely" This decision was
recently announced by Frederick A.
Wallis, newly appointed Commissioners
of immigration, after he had played
the role of immigrant for one night
and had passed long and tiresome
hours on the island waiting for a barge
| for New York.
SO convinced is Commissioner Wallis
that immigrants are being needlessly
Retained on Ellis Island after they
ave been passed into this country by
migration officials and that other
orms are urgently needed that he
ends to move to the island from his

Immigration he explained. no

WOMEN STUDENTS IN
ARMS OVER RULES

Edinburgh, Scotland. Aug. 3.-Young
women students of the University of
Edinburgh have revolted against what
they regard as childish" restriction
in the use of latch keys after the re-
gulation hour for closing the hall in
which they live.
Thirty three students of Mason
Hall. one of the numerous hostels in
which women students reside. have gone
on record as refusing to obey ins!rue-
tions regarding the use of night keys.
The girls assert that they ara being
treated as children rather than as young
women well able to take care Of them
selves.
The protest resulted in a petition to
the university requesting change in
the warden of the hail. The view Of
the management is that too much lib
erty was given the girls under the pre-
vious regime and that unless they alter
their Hetition. the girls must leave the
hall at the end of the session.
The Pail Mall Gazette OF London in
commenting on the incident, says:
with the merits of the particular
case we are not concerned but there
is a principle involved which sooner
or later will have to be decided. When
women won their right to complete
with men in the professions they prac-
tically won all the rights that apper-
tain to the requirement and practice
Of those professions. Those who i'm
agine that young women will submit
to the exercise Of authority which
would not be tolerated by their
brothers, make great mistake, mis-
take which. if it is persisted in, will do
an immense amount of harm, for OPP
position to liberty is the surest fosterer
OF license"

EVOLUTION OF THE BARBER

The spirit of the modern hustle in
vades even the barber shop, once re-
garded as pleasant center of neigh
borhood gossip and leisurely CONVEX
sation.
1t is characteristic of these rapid
times that they are holding speed con-
tests in barbering. One noted cham
pion at Boston the other day shaved
man and cut his hair in six minutes
and Is seconds. And the occupant of
the chair was not reported to have car
ried away a scratch.
The old time shop never considered
human time valuable. The shears ar
fist sought to make his place attrac-
tive by his pleasant talk. BARRIERS
with reputation as conversational
lists were places of resort for many
miles around.
The old fashioned barber cherished
the title "tonsorial artist" somewhat
seriously. Following his ideals of
masculine beauty, he would plaster a
mans forelock in a sweeping curve
nearly down to his eyes. Thus adorn-
ed, the town Adonis would go forth in
some glory for his conquests.
The modern barber does not depend
for business on his personal charm.
The speed some of the furze clippers
show on Saturday night might APP
proach the record quoted above. A
clean, shiny shop and prompt service
is what count now.

RepIant Your Lost Teeth.

When ones front teeth are knocked
out there is no need to leave them on
the floor, for they can be reinserted
by good dentist.
DR.. III. NJ. Slavery tells In the Ian.
Get Uondon), of two cases. in each
of which several teeth were dlslo-
Gated from their sockets. In one case
the teeth were placed in salt water
while the dentist carefully washed
out the sockets. Then they were
reinserted, q stitch or two taken
In the gums and the jaws were BAN
daged shut so that the teeth bit on
a pad of lint. In the other case the
teeth still hung to the gums, so the
sockets were cleaned out without de-
tachlng the teeth. In both cases the
teeth became solidly fixed and the
patients could use them for normal
biting in few months after the acct.
dent.
DR.. De Witt G. Henry of New York

out in collision. The man had
picked his teeth from the gutter and
