Only true test of razor blade is: Share
NTH it. Americas highest Government
authority on standards knows of no other
way to compare blades for shave-ability.
So, before you pay high prices for blades,
do this:
Take two razors exactly alike. In one
razor, place the brand of blade you now
use-we don't care if it costs you as much
as 81 for ten In the other razor, place a
) 15.for-25c Berkeley Blade. Now-so that
you won't know which blade Is winch
have someone else hand you first one
razor, then the other. Shave with one
razor, then with the second, and SO on
until you finish your shave. See if you can
detect any difference between blades.
Well bet on "photo- finish"
We've watched men try these hidden
blade tests again and again and again.

Shave tests reveal: Regardless Of pric
no difference between leading brands

And no blade, not even the most costly,
had real edge on its competitors.
In other words, there's no mysterious,
magic formula for making one blade better
than the others.
So why pay more
than Berkelsy's 1S-for-25f price7
If you choose, you can pay times as much
yes, even times as much-for other
brands. But, no matter how many shaves
you get per blade, you'll find no better
blade than Berkeley at any price! Mil
lions of Berkeley users already know this.
Your own hidden blade" shave test will
prove it to you.
IA million packages, representing over
~ billion shaves, were sold In 1916.
Money back if you try Berkeley Blades and
don't agree that there's no better blade at
any pricei

Washington, June 30.-CaIIng atten
ton to the provisions of H. r. 1885,
a bill to transfer electric power trans
mission facilities from the Interior De-
partment to the War Department, Sen.
James e. Murray of Montana today
asserted that the bill if passed, twill
cripple beyond repair current plans for
the ntegrated development of the
enormous resources of the West, and
will render completely unavoidable
many of the projects that are now sue
cessfuIIy operating in the interests of
all the people of our part of the
country"
Noting the bills sponsorship by Rep
resentative Dondero (R.) of Michigan,
the Montana senator charged that
"this bill is one of a series being
promoted by the enemies of public
power development to make unwork
able the present arrangements for the
production and distribution of cheap
electric power by the federal govern
ment to markets in the West which

have been neglected or ignored by the
private utilities"
''The power lobby is supporting
with every resource at it's command
the passage of this bill and others of
the same stripe and for very good
reason" the senator said. Their
purpose is to take over the distribu-
ton of the electric power produced at
government-owned dams, paid for by
the taxpayers of the nation, and sell
it to their own customers at an enor
nous profit
III. R. 3036, by permitting the War
department to take over certain trans
mission lines now owned and operated
by the Interior department, will so
hopelessly entangle the present sys-
tenn in costly interpreted operations,
for which, incidentally, specific appro-
priations by the congress have to be
passed, that the whole integrated sys-
tenn of public production and distribu-
ton of electric power in the West will
break down"

The board also vigorously protest
ed the action of Congress in cutting

"Such actions done in the name of
economy are destructive of the basic

that this is grave breach of faith
with the American farmer and that
it will result in loss of confidence

Plans for the construction of $500,
