Shaved Faces Help Men
 To Go Straight; Opinion

SAN QUENTIN, Cal, Jan G. Shaved faces help men to go straie Int" believes Warden James J Johnston of the big California State Penitentiary here.
 Johnston recently issued bulle- tin to the 2,100 prisoners to the effect that they could shave them aelves daily, if they so desired. Safety razors must be used, the bulletin said. and will not be issued, but must be purchased by the pris- oners or given them by friends on the outside.
 In the past prison barbers shaved tle inmates twice a week. The num- Der of prisoners, however, has in- creased recently, but not many bar bers have been among the arrivals. Es result some of the men were tetting only one shave a week.
 The right to use a razor will induce men to improve their ap- pearance, and from the practice Ian will cultivate a determination 3 go straight Johnston said.

General Generalization
 Spared Russian Theatres

PETROGRAD. Jan. 6. - Petro- grads government theatres and opera have been spared the general Russia, through the good judgment and organizing power of Ivan Vas silievich Eksbuzovich. Since 1917, he has been director of the Academic Theatre and head of the theatrical organization of Petrograd. He is a professional actor, but also an an archist and mechanical engineer and has no interest in party politics.
 When the theatrical organization elected Ekskuzovich to be it's head, Lunacharsky, the Minister of Edu- cation, recognized him as an ideal man to conserve and continue the theatres and opera Actors, dancers and singers pledged themselves to keep out of politics and under Eks- kzOvich the old organizations have been held intact.
 The Academic Theatre, on the Nevski Prospekt, together with the dramatic school, the ballet school and the theatrical museum and li- brary which adioin it, stands forth as an untouched island of old Rus sla. Glasses run as usual in spite of limited fcod supplies and the lack of fuel

Iron Market Strong, Declares MT. Mcqueen
 On Return From East

An undoubted change for better has come over the iron market" said J. W. Mcqueen, president of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany. who Is back from New York.
 Easier money has made the en- tire business fabric respond. Iron was slow in making the turn, but it has been made. From a low of s15 Blr- mingham iron sold this week at s16.50. It is strong and the trend Is upward"
 Among the items in the annual re- port for 1921 rendered by MT. Mo- Queen are these:
 Improvements installed during previous year, including electrifica- ton of coal and ore mines, enable us to say that your plants were dur ing the year and now are in better condition than at any time and only await revival of business to bring about greatly increased output at substantial saving in cost"
 Of the by-product operations Mir. Mcqueen says:
 The yields of by-products from your plant have more than met our estimates and expectations. In fact. comparative statements show that these yields have rarely been equaled by other by-products in this country Plant was operated without interruption during entire year and coke produced Is of splendid quality" It is also stated that ore reserves were increased.

l AM THE TRUTH
Judge Latady Gives Viewpoint on
 Easer and the Resurrection

Easter: The resurrection of Jesus. and yet how few of us ever stop to think of the deep significance of the resurrection of Him who said: T lay down my life and I take it up again, this I tell you by commandment of the Father" said Judge A. Latady yesterday.
 Lazarus was raised from the dead, but his resurrection was a demon- stration of the spirit of power which the great prophet. Isaiah. had said was one of the spirits of God which should. rest upon that Nazarfte who should come from the seed of Jesse.
 But Jesus rose from the dead in pursuance of His own prophecy re- garding Himself. I will go into the city; will be rejected by the elders, will be delivered of the Gentiles, I will suffer death, and will rise again on the third day. as demonstration that He was the Truth, even as He claimed I am the Truth
 Had 1t not happened as He said, He would have spoken presumptuously and no one need fear Him but this demonstration of the absolute truth of what He said of Himself is con- vincing that He was the Truth. even as he said. I am the truth and the promised prophet of God. I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and I will put my words In his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him to speak,"

DR. MACSPORRANON THE RISEN CHRIST"
Pastor of First Presbyterian Church Delivers Force
 full Sermon

"The Risen Christ" was the subject of timely sermon preached yester- day morning at the First Presbyte- rian church by the pastor, Dr. John A. MacSporran, to a large congrega- tion,
 There are no questions we can ask, no new answers we can give about the Easter fact and the Eas- ter faith" said Dr. MacSporran. The case has been presented to the high court of humanity, and we are the jury before God. All the 'spook doc tors and psycical researchers and scientists will not add one scintilla of relevant proof to what we already have. But our Lord is still working and will make Himself known to re- captive hearts in glorious confirma- tion of what we already have.
 We must recover the radiance and abounding hope of our present reli- zion. Build and labor. serve and love and fight Nothing else will do 1t. We can walk and talk with God. Our true environment is the spiritual. When that fades our growth and hap piness cease. A noted physician says the deep-down subconscious health cannot be retained without faith in immortality. Life everywhere loses US eSSenIlal R1OTy Wncn we can uO nothing worth while until we recover our faith in eternal living. There are times when Christ's living becomes real to all sorts and manner of peo- pie. Then they say Now Is Christ risen.
 "On that first Good Friday night Christ's followers had no program, no base on which to build. No church. no New Testament were yet possible with them. All was dead. But Jesus came back! Not as an ideal, but a personality and presence. Incredu- lous, then astounded, they received Him. Deep and permanent then He grew into their consciousness.
 "They became Christ-conscious in- stead of self-conscious The church was the outgrowth, not founded on a creed, but upon a life. From that came the church, the New Testament. His disciples called no one to a creed they called them to personality, a life.
 Now, not in the dim past--is Christ risen. How can we recover this? All else is secondary to this. Only that will break through our pride and greed and hatred and jealousy. We must believe we live by Lord who is here. But how?
 Read the Scriptures, for their tes- timony.
 Live in the church and the life of the church.
 Accept the resurrection of the personality of Jesus Christ. You can't explain it, but you can believe 1t. To each of you Christ has His own private stairway He caught the magi with a star and the fishermen with a fish. He uses still the won derful ways and the homely ways He always has. He comes by all roads through exaltation or through tears. Come unto me and ye will live-al- waysr"
