Editor The Star:
Your editorial. Tragedy set me
to wondering II II had ever occurred
to tho people Of Tacoma that. the
mountain being so much larger than
their city now is or ever will be. and
Of so much moro Importance, geo
graphically and in many other ways.
TO people generally and tourists in
particular, that, should tho name OF
the mountain be changed TO that Of
Tacoma II would soon come to pass
that people would never think OF tho
city OF Tacoma when they heard that
name mentioned, but only OF the
mountain: so that the real effect Of
the change would be Just the re.
verse of what the people OF Tacoma
intend. and II would prove a REAL
tragedy TO our somewhat peevish,
but otherwise. lovely neighbor.

The Economics of Barbering

CEATTLES present 65-cent BARRIERS may do well to
y consider that they do not necessarily have monop
oily on hair cutting.
Time when mother and father were BARRIERS to
the whole family. They may sometimes have cut hair
that it looked if it had been carved with knife
and fork, but they at least saved money
Many a man who was daily Customer at the barber
shop in the days of Decent shaves took to plotting his
own razor when the price became 25 cents. Now with
haircut prices awaiting corresponding movement of
families to do their own let their locks 90 uncut
may make many idle barber chair where busy one
was before.
Eventually of course the law of supply and demand
will determine charges If the BARRIERS have raised prices
too much loss of business will prove the fact
No who has developed corns standing on his
feet eight to 10 hours day will argue that BARRIERS are
not entitled to fair living On the other hand thou
sands going to have to get their hair cut at horne or
let it go unshorn for extra week because of the
present advance in prices.

What The Star Gipes Today

A EDITOR of The Seattle Star years ago chal-
"A enged the praeticalness Of the newspaper training
given students in the School Of Journalism at the Uni
versty of Washington The dean of the school had faith
enough and the editor of The Star sport enough TO
allow the journalism students TO prove themselves by
editing The Star in all its editions for one day.
When the first issue appeared, the editor OF The
Star pronounced il good and showed his confidence in
the students by allowing them 10 write and edit again
the next year. and the year following.
The privilege allowed TO lapse in 1928, but has
been restored by the present editor, Ray w. FELTON,.
The restoration is gratifying to School of Journalism stu
dents to many of whom it affords the most excellent
practical experience of their university careers.

HERR OPERATES
HOTEL GARAGES
Twenty-Four Hour Repair
Service Given,

Don Herr has put into practice a
new method Of garage operation. lie
has instituted a hotel service for au-
tomobiles. and with it he is offering
tweney-four hour repair service,
and an oil and grease station that is
unique in that there Is no boosting
for the sale of any particular brand.
Herr is trying to help the city of
Indianapolis solve it's traffic problems.
He has made a considerable invest
ment in a large garage that has ample
space on the ground floor for more
than 100 automobiles.
Loose articles left in cars are safe
in this garage" says a large sign that
hangs in the main storage room. And
10 the honesty Of employees Herr has
added another attribute that each
must have: that is courteous attention
TO every patron. Heirs garage is
located at 100 Kentucky Ave, with
two large entrances, one facing Ken
lucky Ave. and the other opening
onto w. Maryland St, just opposite
the new home of The Indianapolis
Times.
As the number Of Indianapolis
owned automobiles increases and with
a larger number Of transient motor
lists. Don Heirs garage is becoming
better known not only at home, but
