OKLAHOMA CITY, May 5.-Who
will shave the necks of the bobbed hair

This all important question resulted
to-day in a business war" between
beauty experts and gentlemen" bar
bers in Oklahoma City.
Gentlemen" BARRIERS object to
beauty experts doing any shaving, he
it on the male or the femal of the
species.
Beauty experts on the other hand
come back with the statement that
Shaving necks of fiappers is part of
our job"
BARRIERS won the first round when
they reduce the prices.
Beauty experts made a counter at
tack and warned fappers to keep
away from the barber shops.
"They may cut you and mar your
beauty with those old-fasGioneG
straigh.-edge razors," they declared
Come to us, we use safety razors'
"Bosh." retorted Oklahoma Clty's
leading barber. ''Flappers don't like
those new safety things. sr~
"Of course | will admit some of my
new BARRIERS get fused when shaving
fiapper, but we haven't cut any one
yet"
Both the beauty expert and the
barber, however, agree on the ques-
tion "Will the hair on a flapper's
neck grow bristly if it's shaved
often?"

Observers here believe Chang's sud

The gates of Peking continued
closed overnight on account of
stragglers from Chang's defeated
army surrounding the walls. During
the night the section OF Peklng inside
the walls occupied by the Americans
became greatly excited by an attempt
OF the soldiers outside TO ram the

All fighting In the vicinity Of Peking
had ceased this morning. but the city
remained isolated so far as railroad
communication was concerned.
General WI Pei Flu was reported
within a few hours travel of Picking
early to-day. but he had not then de
cided whether to enter the capital, ap-
parently awaiting the result OF the
hghting in the direction OF Tlentsin.
He was quoted as saying he never
would be contented until he had either
captured Chang Tso Lin or driven him
to Mukden. This was taken to indI-
cate that he was not concerned abou'
entering Peking Immediately. al
though nothing prevented his do
ing so.
After Chang Tso Lin's defeat in the
Fengtai and Changsintien districts on
Thursday he took up a position along
the Peking -Tientsin railroad between
the stations OF Langfang and Lofa.
His purpose apparently was to rally
his forces scattered in the vicinity Of
Picking and prevent WI Pei Fu's al
vance upon Tientsin.
He was reported as expressing anger
at the action OF his troops at Chang

day they retreated in disorder. leaving
the way open for an undisputed march

WASHINGTON, May 5 Copy
right) Woodrow Wilson considers
himself the leader of the Democratic
Party, all other aspirants for that
position to the contrary notwith-
standing.
This impression had been gradu-
ally gaining ground with the grow
ing improvement in Mr.. Wilson'S
health, but the letter written to John
c. Higdon, who asked the former
Presidents advice about entering the
Democratic Senatorial primary in
Missouri, now has been accepted here
as removing all doubts.
In the letter the former President
suggested that If Mr.. Higdon be-
Ieved in "my political leadership" he
would not complicate the contest by
making it n three cornered fight as
! Breckinridge Long, a close friend OF
Mr.. Wilson, had already begun his
campaign to wrest the nomination
from Senator James Il. Reed, arch
lOe vi MI. w
Democrats hereabouts who profess
TO know all about Mr.. Wilson'S s
political thoughts look upon the letter
10 Mr.. Higdon with deep satisfaction.
They say it is full of meaning for
those who have essayed to place
/. James NJ. Cox at the head Of the
Democratic Party because he was the
nominee at the last convention.
The question really asked by the
Wilsonites-and answered positively
by them-is whether man who was
twice elected to the Presidency on the
Democratic ticket, indeed the first
Democrat in a generation, isn't en-
titled to consider himself leader of the
party as against another Democrat
who simply ran for the Presidency
and was defeated. For that matter,
William Jennings Bryan ran thrice
for the Presidency and doesn't believe
in taking back seat for anybody, but
it Is a fact that Mr.. Wilson has on
more than one occasion made 1t clear
that he is the leader of the party, and
not Mr.. Bryan.
This attitude on the part of Mr.
Wilson, however, hasn't prevented
either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Cox from re-
garding themselves as leaders of tho
4 party. But the truth of the matter is
that neither one stands well in tht
graces of Mr.. Wilson when Leadership
is involved.
There is,every reason TO believe Mr.
Cox and Mr.. Wilson, for instance, arr
on good terms. The speeches OF Mr.
Cox recently have been right alont
the same lines as Mr.. Wilson has ex
pounded, particularly with reference
10 the League of Nations, but it is al
open secret that Mr.. Wilson hai
/. looked askance at what he has con
j strued to be an attempt to grab tn
leadership of the Democratic Party oil
the part Of Mr.. Cox.

CITY WATER TESTS
AS GOOD AS THE BEST

Some time ago the Board Of Mayor
and Aldermen made arrangements
with the State Board of Health
whereby water taken from the civ
wells would be tested once a month,
or oftener, if desired, without
charge to the city. The only cost
to the city was the purchase Of con-
tainers for the samples Of water and
transportation to and from Nash
vile.
A test which has just been COM
pleted shows that the water from the
city wells tests as good as the best.
In heat test of from IL to "a hours
the samples showed bacteria per c.,
20 degrees c. as follows: Ninety
eight-foot well, 5; 727-foot well, IS,
making a good average In To-
hour test the samples showed no b.
COLI, which means that the city has
water of excellent quality.

Inc war on mosquitoes and malaria
in CovingtOn has started. The work
of clearing and eliminating the worst
bends in Town creek began this morn
ing at the extreme lower end Of the
creek.
Following the presentation of the
plan OF work to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen by G. NJ. Harrub, di
rector Of the Division of Sanitary
Engineering of the State Board Of
Health, in the latter part of June, the
towns share of the estimated cost
was appropriated and work is now
under way.
Mosquitoes breed in standing or
slowly moving water. The work,
therefore, consists in eliminating
standing water and Fastening the
flow of slowly moving streams. Such
water as can not be economically
moved will be treated with oil each
week. Ponds will be cleared of grass,
weeds and brush around their edges
and stocked with top minnows. These
fish eat mosquito wiggle-tails in
preference to other foods when the
grass and other hiding places of the
Wiggle-tails are removed so that the
fish can find the wiggle-tails.
Town creek, on which the first work
is being done, because it is considered
one of the worst breeding places for
anopheles mosquitoes 1.-THE malaria
carrying type) in Covington, will be
worked over from its outlet to the
drainage canal throughout its entire
length. The weeds and brush are be-
ing cut away from it's banks and
definite channel cut as thraight a.
possible. In making this channel a
narrow bottom is used so as to insure
a movement of water during periods
Of low flow. 1t is the dry weather
flow that causes most Of the mos
quito breeding, because khis water
usually collects in pools along the
creek bed and produces mosquitoes
by the thousands. A heavy rain
washes out the creek bed and carries
the wiggle-tails down stream; hut
rains do not happen at sufficiently |
regular intervals to insure mosquito |
control. For this reason a narrow
bottom ditch is dug, which tends to
prevent ponding along the creek bed |
The work on Town creek is merely
the start. From that it will spread Isl
all parts Of the town. Oiling will
start as soon as the spraying appa-
raths arrives, which should be within |
the next few DAYS
