that the diplomatic service is

fought his way to the top from
the ranks of the diplomatic service,
said in his testimony before the
House of Foreign Affairs Commit
tee:
Undesirable Get In
CIT is not surprising Under the
circumstances Jth8t some undesir
ables have managed to get in Qthe
diplomatic service; it is really sur
prising that so few Of them have
got in and that we have got SO
much excellent material.
There are three things deemed
necessary to correct the evils that
have existed heretofore in the for
cign srvice-the diplomatic scr
vice specifically is meant in these
criticisms Of the foreign service, as
salaries have been better and con
ditions more, efficient in the con
sular service under the old separa

matte service is regarded as NOR
important branch than the consuia
service, with which it now goes t.
make up the reorganized forelgi
service. These three things are:
Assurance of tenure of bfflc

L. w. Chandler, president Of the

DEAUNlLLE, France, Aug. 10
Fortune turned it s back on the
Prince OF Wales here and today he
is more than 100000 francs poorer
as q result of Sunday play at the
races and the bacarette tables. Jules
Mestbaum of Philadelphia is said to
have prospered through the prince S
heavy losses at the gaming table.
In the afternoon the. prince was
among the early attendants at the
racing course and plastered bet on
each race. None of his selections
showed at the finish tape.
Shortly after $3.50 p. m. the prince
strolled into the gaming room. Dress
ed in gray suit somewhat the
worse for travel, he placed an initial
bet of 10000 francs. He lost. He
TOOK the loss good naturedly and
started playing steadily. He lost.

of Wales, Philadelphia Man
Prospers When the Prince Loses

AT one time he was said to be al
most 100000 francs ahead of the
game but his luck skidded and he
started losing while Mestbaum S
winning began to take size.
Play continued we'll into the
morning and just as dawn was
breaking, the prince discovered his
frame notes were running short and
quit the game. He was whisked
away to lie Toquet.
No record was made of the win
nings of Mestbaum, although he is
said to have won most of the bets
which the prince lost.
The princes visit to the gaming
table was the biggest social event
of the season. While it was an
unexpected call, the word soon went
about that the British heir was hav-
ing a try II his luck and before long
the room was crowded.

Boasts Exclusive
Mems Barber Shop
by United Press Leased Wiz"

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
Berkeley, Calf, Aug. 25. - This
campus now boasts the only eXclu-
sive mems barber shop in the San
Francisco bay district, if not in
America. Recently with ceremony
befitting the occasion, the owner
Of one of the most popular tom
serial parlors here tackled up Il
glaring "Men Only"e sign on his
red and white pole.
n There's reason, of course, for
this age of bobs, no shearer of
locks would purposeiy spite the
wearers of "King Tuts," "shin-
gles'' and other styles. And it is
whispered that
Men students, revolving when
their back hair outgrew their pa
tience, took the barber to a lonely
spot and properly impressed him with
the dignity of barber's calling as
a minister to the heads and faces
of men.
For days, it is said, the ire and
the hair of the men students grew
while barber chairs were filled with
co-eds particular about the !" do
on each strand of hair.
A leader was found for the reac-
tionary movement in a fraternity
junior who had waited all night at
a barber shop entrance, only to have
a coed slip in ahead of him while
he slept at his post at the opening
hour.
The group, angered to swift ae-
tion, chose their favorite shop, then
kidnapped its owner and then-but
the sign he placed on his place of
business gives some hint, it is be-
ieved, as to what happened.
