New York, Jan. 6 (Special) From time to time unkind things have been Mid about barbers, that generally took the form of declaring them to be more interested in persecuting their cus tomers by an oi-or-nmount of conver sation than in looking after their com fort while they are being shaved. It la announced by the authorities at Bing Sing prison that th internal eco nomic conditions of the place Is being ' dy affected by the absence of a ' .sufficient number of the members of the tonsorial profession. Such has never oeon me case before. Usually the famous prison harbored enough men or eacn tff.de to make it a all- sustaining community. But barbers have recently fallen off so in attend ance that there are not enough to do all the shaving and hair cutting that is needed to be done. This is likely to cause considerable surprise. It is gen erally supposed that the advent at thp safety razor was such a cause of irri tation, both financially and mentally. to the barber, that crime amongst them was likely to increase. Then too they have been the victims of a cer tain class of supposed humor that would make crime at times seem most Justifiable by them, and the fact that they -withstood temptation, and evi dently attained a higher moral stand" ard is, under the circumstances, great ly to be counted in their favor. Prefers Chamberlain's. "In the course of a conversation with Chamberlain Medicine Co.'s rep resentative today, we had occasion to discuss in a general way the merits of their different preparations. At his suggestion J take pleasure in express ing my estimation of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I have a family cf six cniidren and have used this rem edy in my home for years. I consider it the only cought remedy on the mar ket, as I have tried nearly all kinds." Earl C. Ross, Publisher Hamilton County Republican-News, Syracuse, Kan. an outline of the story. The book has been so widely read for one thing and for the other the real delightful qual ity of this tale would be lost alto gether in such an account. "Seven teen" is the story of a boy who think3 that he is now a man of affairs. Ho must shave and he above all must take things very seriously. To make the picture complete there is the little sis- J. j ter who has a terrible appetite for j, ; bread and jam; the pretty girl William ; loves her so deeply; he youth who can T afford a sporty motor car; Genesis, jj. the Mack who works about the placy j;and tells William that the only way ! ; he knows of getting fifty dollars is to r j "sell your body to them doctors, but you gotta be dead."

HUFF it AND., $X JACK PICKFORD' Jack Pickford and Louise Huff in "Seventeen." Oregon University Has a New Poetess Miss Grace Edgington Salem Is Attracting the Literary World. Formerly Attention Salem, Jan. 8. (Special) More than a little attention in the ranks of alumni and the older students of the university in the honor bestowed on Miss Grace Edirintrton. who studied at old Willamette for two years in 1910-11 has been mani fest since Saturday. Her poem en titled "Pictures" was selected for the Anthology of American College Vers es, a volume published annually by college students during the preceding year. The poem was written in Eu gene where Miss Edgington, now :1 graduate of the University of Oregon, is copyreader on the Eugene Morning. Register. It was inspired by the beau tiful millrace that passes the state university campus. During the two years Miss Edging ton studied in the local institution, her work as conductor of the famous "Co eds Corner" in the Willamette Col legian was the delight of the student tody and alumni. She was manager of the Ladies' Glee club as well as president of the Philodosian society, where she served with remarkable ex ecutive ability for a coed. Her suc cess in the writer's field is being watched by her many friends in Salem. English stjle rugby football, lawn. tennis and rnw:n,? are favorit sports in Argentina but baseball is making great headsviy. SHERRY'S "The Dawn of Love" Notable Metro Feature.
