OF CAYENNE SAIL
FOR PARIS TRIAL
NANTES , France (fl1) One of
the strangest long distance crim
inal processes in French history is
to begin here soon when Judge
JxMiiarehand commences an inves
tigation of tlie mysterious deutH
tit Cayenne, French Guiana, of
Jean Oulmot, member of the
French chamber of deputies, and
a number of sluyings that follow
l oil. It will bo weeks and perhaps
V'nonths beforo a finding is return
red. Thirty-three persons, charged
with murder and complicity, have
already been brought across the
Atlantic for the preliminary "in
structions" which corresponds to
a Brand jury investigation in
America. Ity the irony of fate,
many of them, if condemned, will
return over the eamo route to
Devils' Island, the penal colony
a few miles from Cayenne.
The aroused state of public opin
ion at Cayenne was given as a
reason for the transfer of the pro
cess to 'France. The passing of
M. Galmot, who died of what has
been certified as poisoning, was
followed by brews that cost the
lives of Luc Jubel, member of the
Cayenne municipal council; Jean
Clement, school superintendent; M.
jaro.se, a municipal employe; M.
Thebis, former councilman and Ai
de St. Ives, n land holder.
Under French procedure, Judge
Lemarchand will have a gigantic
jt task ahead of him before he can
pturn over to the assizes court the
' evidence against the accused. He
must personally examine and
weigh the depositions of scores of
Witnesses and go over thoroughly
the "dossier" weighing 265 pounds
and which includes every shred of
evidence in the case. In addition
he must look over a large collec
tion of arms of all varieties, al
leged to have been used in the
series of slay lags.
In addition to the thirty-three
accused, already In France, four
teen others. Involved In minor ways
with the charges, are to be sent
hero for trial if Judge Lomarch
and concludes that the evidence
against them is sufficient.

A 1U23 Htudebaker Ulg Six which
lias been driven more than 150.
niio miles on a stage Hue between
Tnnnpah, Nov., and the gold camp
of Manhattan, is the latest addi
tion to the famous Studcbakor
100.000 Mile club.
Clark James, a se'venty-ycar old
veteran nf the old west, reports
that his Ktudebaker has never fail
ed to cover Its 90-mile route on
time. James himself is a color
ful figure. When the frenzied gold
rush started at Manhattan more
than twenty years ago he was
among the first to arrive at the
scene. He watched the camp
grow from a few scattered shacks
1o a hustling city of 12.000, with
banks, newspapers and telegraph
office. And ho has watched it
dwindle away, assisted by two
fires, to n sleepy mining camp of
three or four hundred miners and
prospectors.
I!ofore purchasing Ills present

Kludebaker which ho operated for
several years.
Many Interested In automobiles
and racing have followed the car

It was In 1H2S that Lou first

Indianapolis speedway. In 19l!,
he followed this victory -with sec

established a record as the only

'for two successive years. He holds
the distinction of helntr the only

Ediel B. Ford Reliability Trophy.
THIS Bhlp, which is named
Miss Sllvertown, la probably
the fastest commercial mono
piano In the United States, and
has attained a sea level speed of
10 miles an hour. The plane has
a wing span of 41 feet and is
powered with a Pratt & Whitney
Vasp developing 42fi horsepower.
It Is also equipped with veutnrl
cowling, recently developed by
the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics, which adds about
20 miles an hour to its speed.
The speed Is further Increased
through a rubber paint developed
In the Goodrich factory at Akron,
Ohio, which because of its
smoothness materially cuts down
wind resistance. Although this
was the only plane In the contest
coated with this paint, nineteen
of them used Goodrich tires.
Shoenhalr was one of three pilots
who led the way for the contest
ants for the Ford Trophy. The
others were Capt. Frank M.
Hawks, member of the rules com
mittee, and Capt. Hay Collins,
manajrer of the tour. The route
included 32 cities throughout tho
United States.
Barber Shop Memories
IT CURE
Down at l'orttnna a burning
question of the hour Is whether
the price of a shave in the bar
ber shop shall advance from 25
cents to 35 cents. The pros, of
course, are the barbers, journey
man and ina-ster. The antis, only
mildly vocal, are that small re
maining portion of tho barbcr
palronizhig public who do not yet
realize that what barbers will do
they will do, just as they have
been doing in the recent years of
steady tonsorial progress when
ever they could all get together
and slay together.
Let's have a meeting of the Ie-mcmber-When
club. Any member
can recall a time when you could
get a haircut and shave with var
ious deft extras for 40 cents in
any first class barber shop. The
hair-cutting was done with scis
sors wholly. There was no elec
trical clipper to shear away the
hair around the sides and back
and thus relieve the barber of half
of his ,work as now. To .cut -hair
then; was a painstaking job and
one that required many a snip,
accompanied with much use nf the
comb to get the hair Into just the
proper contour and keep it ho ns
the operation went along. There
were pauses when the barber stood
off to survey his artistry or to
hold up a hand mirror for his
su b ject to 1 no k in and see that
things were going well. The whole
process was a rllo as much ns
an operation.
And the shave that was none
of your hurry-up affairs either.
In the pre-safely razor days few
towners did their shnving at home.
The dally shave was n rarity with
most men. Those who had shaves
every othi'r day were regarded as
finicky. Twice a week shaves were
the rule and once a week on Sat
urdays not uncommon. So when
the barber set out to shave a per
son he had some whiskers to cut.
Kvery barber shop had a pigeon
holed cabinet on Its wall contain
ing privately owned mugs, each to
be used for Its owner only. The
eternal feminine among us had no
problem of what to give for
Christmas In those days. A shav
ing mug for "him" with his name
Chrysler, finding that It gives more
power, mileane and a surer fuel
supply than the conventional type.
There are plenty of other reasons
why the ('hryler stands out prom
inently and these can best be ap
preciated behind the wheel."
lettered on it was tho correct j
thing. As the mug was left at
the barber shop and ns nu lady !
ever entered a barber shop it was
easy to forget from one Christmas ;
to another that the man already !
had a shaving mug nnd so give'
him another one.
After administering tho careful-j
ly scissored haircut and the day-,
under-t he-skin shave with plenty ,
of time for the hot towels to do j
their work the barber proceeded ;
to earn the rest of his 40 cents. I
There was the neck shave round j
of course, for .every man had hist
neck shaved round at the back j
and there was exploration with a
tweezers for "wild hairs" beneath
the chin and there was an appll-1
cation of halroll everybody took!
hairoll with bay rum on top of j
it well rubbed in, and there was i
a dash of eye-water In the orbsj
for those who wanted it nnd there j
Was a touch of brllliantinu on the j
eyebrows .and .. .ptQustache every
body ju hatKu-'j moustache heaides
unguents and powder on tbe face.
i!y the tlnio the patron got out
of the barber's chair ho certainly
was fixed up a-plenty and If he
was not a thing of beauty It wus
because nature had sclmpcd tho
job In his original facial equip
ment and not because of any omis
sion which could ho laid to tho
barber. A tip? If you had offer
ed an Oregon barber of that day I
a tip he would have been insulted j
and might have basted you one,
and good enough for you. Forty'
cents was tho price and 40 cents
was the check haircut, shave and
extras. H
liarber shops opened nt 7 a. m.
They closed any time after 0 p. m.
when the place was clear of cus
tomers. On Sundays they closed
at noon. There has, as the latter
day barber shop patron will have
observed, been a change. Kugenc
Iteglster.
The sneezo time of the year Is
here. Whether It be a dlseusc,
habit or custom, it has an ancient
history. Cupid was supposed to
sneeze over tbe birth of every new.
beautiful girl baby.
Today a sweetheart rather re
sent being anything to be sneezed
at: but in old itoman days It was
a hiKli compliment to her. How
ever, the sneeze has lost Its ro
mance. Indeed, It Is a source of
abject apology. In public a glare
greets the offender.
It is merely a violent explosion
of the air from the nasal passages;
but it is a nuisance and calls for
expression at Inopportune times.
It usually chooses a funeral or
some solemn and quiet occasion
and then goes off with n bang.
Pressing the finger upon the upper
lip deprives It of immediate enthu
siasm. And yet there are times
when nothing seems to dampen or
discourage its activity.
Once the sucVze brought about
the retreat of an army. Xenophon
and his cohorts were In a parley
over advance or return. Suddenly
a soldier sneezed, and since a
sneeze was supposed to bo an
oracle of deity, the tents were
burned and retreat begun.
If a soldier sneezes today he is
bustled Into a hot tub of steaming
water. The modern general takes
no chances.
In ancient Alliens, if a man
! sneezed his friends cried, "Jove
; preserve you" lie was regarded
as an especial favorite of Alt.
j Olympus. A sneeze among tho
ancient Hebrews was a harbinger
of death, Jacob prayed that this
I inUht be changed and the signifi
cance of sneezing was revised.
Then It hccAiuc a symbol of life.
Aristotle believed that tf you
sneezed from morning till noun
you would have good luck. (Mir i
fio-efin hers must have hibly !
prized encciiipg, or they would not
have used so much snuff.
Today If you would sneeze, Just
seek u dignified assembly where It
would be indelicate to function
with your nose, and It .will go off
half-cocked. No umuuut of press
ing anywhere will suppress it. , It
blows all tho rules, of Hoylo to
pieces and lets go regardless of
your standing In society. And you
are avoided as a sad victim of
Ridden rod.

QUEEN WATCHED
STOCKHOLM. (A1) Sweden's
first aviator was a cat. which as
cended in a balloon in 17M be
fore a resplendent assembly of roy
alties nnd dignitaries, according to
a paper of that year. !
. It was decided that Sweden
should undertake an experiment In !
aviation. Tho queen, tho crown
prince and many others contrib
uted. An aerostatic machine, a gorg
eous balloon 12 feet In diameter
and elaborately decorated with
blue stripes, golden stars and the
Sweil ish coat of arms, was made
and filled with gas called com
bustile air.
On September 17, 1784, the king,
the queen, the royal court, foreign
diplomats and Swedish dignitaries
were assembled to witness the
memorable event.
In the small gondola the aviator
a cat and a letter to tho finder
requesting him to return tho bal
loon to tho Royal Academy of
Science, were placed.
The queen herself cut tho string
holding tho balloon. It slowly rose,
greeted by the cheers of those
present, and disappeared In tho
direction of the sea.
Tho balloon later was found
some 15 miles away from Stock
holm, slightly damaged, but the
cat had disappeared, evidently un
hurt nnd probably with tho firm
