had a mile or two to walk and |
walked as fast as could, till saw
the roof of the cottage show over a
fold of the downs, and little column
OF smoke was lettering up, pale gray
from red chimney; it was as peaceful
a scene as any ever saw. And then
heard a song that the woman was
singing - Groom more than a song,
lullaby full of contentsnent, made,
you might say. of ease in quiet valleys,
of sheep-bells and sound of streams
and blackbirds calling, and winds 60
ing over the downs. bringing swallows
home.
Il went up to the vine covered cot
tage. She was upstairs, singing beside
an open window. You hardly liked to
interrupt the calm of her lullaby, by
speaking or even breathing; it was like
the calm there might be at the end of
the world, if you came to the very
edge, with Venus glowing in twilight.
But called up to her from below the
window. Where's Bob?' shouted.
He's inside she said. So went in
through the door that was open to
bees and butterflies, and called for
Bob and searched for him all through
the cottage. | did not find him. She
stopped that gentle song, but all my
questions she answered only with her
blue eyes, the strangest look | ever
saw"
"Ugly?" asked one of us.
No more ugly" said Jorkens,
than the sea far south of here, warm
and placid and tapping, lit by gloam-
ing lovelier than anything we shall
see. No, no, not ugly; only strange.
And after a bit looked away from
her eyes, and said to her, You know
shall have to tell the police
AT that, she sang to me, sang sud-
denly like someone pulling out the
stops of an organ and blasting the
hush with music; but not any organ
here; like an angel sitting down after
a journey, before precipice of gold
that was all followed to organ-plpes,
and playing from his heart dirge for
the story of man. Some men never
know the misery of missing the things
they miss. | knew it then. By frac-

But went back to London, and so
I'm sitting here without a drink, with
out any money, and with the whole
of Somerset House waiting for me at

oh, we'll" said Terbut, have a
drink. But get on with your story"
And he grudgingly signed to the
waiter.
Thanks" said Jorkens well, l
got back to London, and l went
straight to a man knew at Scotland
Yard. and he showed me in to another
man, and we had a long talk. And they
searched that house for a week, and
then / saw them again. How have
you got on?' l asked. $3.50 they
said And then turned to the man

Inspector Grives. This murder |
began. Look here, said the inspector;
you can use language like that to me
inside here. but you know it's slander

But can you do nothing?' asked.
We've got to prove everything,

She came to London again, for
which had blded my time: and one
day went round to see her when she

true. I must look at your driving Ii

and looked and she looked, and it
wasn't there. She showed her beautiful
teeth, but said nothing. And on that
they we're able to get her out of the
country"
And what do you think she did to
your friend?" we asked.
Now Jorkens' whiskey had come
and he drank it off, and then sat silent
awhile. II think" said Jorkens. that
her name was a clue. Oddly enough
in this old bundle of papers," and he
pulled some out of his pocket, Il have
her driving license to this day. There
you see, Anthropophalus, no meaning
at all. But one day copied it out in
Greek letters and looked at it; and
then | noticed a very curious thing.
Suppose she'd turned one of the letters
upside-down; you have sense then"
Which letter." said Terbut.
Write it in Creek" said Jorkens,
land turn the lambda upside-down,
and you get gamma"
"And them" said Terbut.
why then you get Anthropopha-
gus"
Those that did not know Greek of
course said nothing, and those that
did began cropping among our MEM
ories, until one of us said: "You don't
mean man-eater?"
WELL" said Jorkens, "of course
that's what the word means. We
should remember they had different
standards in classical times. It's very
clearly stated in Homer. don't de-
fend it of course"
But we felt we had heard enough,
and all of us left without anyone offer
ing Jorkens the usual little gift that,
as far as liquid can 60. is our recogni-
ton that we have been instructed by
one of his tales.

Last week | noticed a piece in the
Montana Labor News which stated
that the Washington Motor Coach
Co., who are looking for franchises
in the state of Montana, were all
organized. Those men belong to the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Men. The
Street Car Men have an agreement
with the International Brotherhood
of Transfers that where street car
companies operate buses the street
car unions have jurisdiction over
those drivers. Another agreement
with the Railway Trainmen provides
that where the railroads operate
buses the Trainmen have jurisdic-

companies have absolutely no juris-
diction over any drivers not oper-
ated by street car companies. AL

HOW MUCH IS A
HAIRCUT WORTH!
A Reasonable Defense of the Re
cent Rise in Prices.

After. careful consideration several
outstanding problems of the barber
shop trade received paramount at
tention before drafting the new reg
ulations. No immediate relief in the
barber shop trade could be expected
until prices for the several barber
shop services had been established
at a level that will permit living
wages for the BARRIERS and legitimate
profits for the shop owners.
In drafting the code for the bar
Der shop trade, code number 1913,
Registry No. 17O8-10, approved on
April 10, 1894, by President Roose-
welt, it was revealed by Government
sta~tisticians that in the Butte zone
it cost twenty-six and one-half cents
to produce a shave and forty-two
cents to produce a haircut, providing
the journeyman barber did the
work. 1t was further revealed that
the lack of an adequate bookkeeping
system has been one of the outstand-
ing weaknesses of modern barber
shops and that a very small per-
centage of BARRIERS knew how much
gross revenue they had taken in each
year for the last five years or how
much of that revenue represented
net profit. All this and much more
information is absolutely vital to the
success of any business. This is sad
to relate, but true nevertheless
Further Investigations disclosed the
fact that none too many members
of the trade have any credit, and in
many cases there are substantial
amounts owed for shop rent labor,
electricity, gas, water, laundry, coun-
ty, city and state taxes, not excepting
bills owing to barber supply houses
for supplies.
Pseudo barber schools such as the
one operating in Butte until a short
time ago are nothing more than
cheap shops, exploiting students for

WHOLESALE PRICES CONTINUE
UPWARD

Continuing the rise for the fifth
consecutive week, wholesale commo-
dity prices advanced or percent dur
ing the week ended November %,
according to an announcement made
by Commissioner Lubin of the Bur
eau of Labor Statistics, U. S. De-
partment of Labor.
"The index of wholesale prices for
the week was 1875 percent of the
1926 average, the highest level rea-
ched since October, $780," Mr.. Luz
bin said, land was 80 per cent above
the low point in 1888. Compared
with the corresponding week of a
year ago, the current level of whole
sale prices shows an increase of 90
percent. The advance during the
week was due to a fairly general
increase in prices in all the major
commodity groups.

INAUGURAL POST
DUE FOR GRAYS0N
Roosevelt Understood to
Desire Admiral to
Head Group.

President Roosevelt is understood to
want Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
U. S. N. retired, who was chairman
OF his first inaugural, four years ago. to
serve again in that capacity this year.
Admiral Grayson at present is busy
with affairs of the American Red
Cross, of which he is chairman. and
sailed for Europe last week to attend
the international Red Cross meeting.
The only possible barrier to his ac-
cepting is whether he will have time
enough to spare.
1t was believed the President Is
awaiting word from Admiral Grayson
before he considers any one else.
Parade Approved.
Mr.. Roosevelt today announced
his approval Of an inaugural parade
on January 90, with a Colonial
type reviewing stand, from which
he may watch the procession pass the
White House.
While he still adheres to his original
plan for a simple inaugural. the
President told newspaper men at his
press conference he has agreed to a
parade of sorts"
He said he has ordered plans drawn
for a reviewing stand, mot too costly"
modelled somewhat after the Hermit
age, Andrew Jackson's old home in
Nashville. Tenn.
The Presidents edict against an in
augural ball apparently still stands.
He indicated he is not ready to an
nounce a chairman for the Inaugu-
raj Committee.
Asked if he was weakening" in his
attitude against an elaborate inaugu-
raj ceremony, the President smilingly
said he has not changed his mind in
that respect.
Parade of Sorts"
A parade of Sorts" he indicated,
was an essential part of the Inaugural
ton. He said he would approve an
inexpensive" grandstand in front of
the White House, and that he talked
about" this yesterday with Waddy
Wood. local architect, who designed
the reviewing stand and Court of
Honor for the first Roosevelt inaugu-
ration. The stand, the President
pointed out, was copied from the Fed
eral Hall in New York City. in which
George Washington took the oath Of

can architecture, Mr.. Roosevelt told

Project Justified, Engineers Say
in Report-Department Calls
Public Hearing.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSocldted SteSS
The War Department announced
today a special board of Army En-
gineers studying the Florida ship canal
reported the project "is justified in the
public interest"
The department called q public
hearing here on the report on Decem-
Der 16 before the Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors.
The announcement said the report
dated November l, 1896, had this to
say of the controversial project:
Construction of sea-level canal
to provide a minimum depth of 80
feet and minimum width Of $50 feet,
at an estimated cost Of $157,585 900,
exclusive Of lands, in addition to S.
100000 already expended, is justified
In the public interest"
In debates during the last Congress
canal opponents contended appropria-
tions should not be made to complete
the project because Army Engineers
had not completed their studies.
The Senate passed an amendment to
the deficiency bill making possible Q
new ALLEGATION for the work, but the

nounced it had terminated negotia-

THE fifteenth approach to the
Remington-Rand management by or
in behalf of the unions seeking basis
for calling off the strike which is keep
ing small minority of factory en-
ployes out of work was unsuccessful
today because the unions demanded
their members be employed on day
shifts instead of night shifts. So far
as the management is concerned, this
ends the conferences.
Remington Rand refused to dis
place members of its present working
force who have brought production up
to a greater volume and higher state
of efficiency than prevailed before the
strike last May. The management ad-
vised the union leaders that under no
circumstances will it make any agree
ment with the unions as such, with
out a majority of all workers voting
