Williams, Albert Wilson What The Star Gives Today N EDITOR of The Seattle Star some years ago chal- lenged the praeticalness of the newspaper training given students in the School of Journalism at the Uni- Versity of Washington. The dean of the school had faith enough, and the editor of The Star was sport enough, to allow the journalism students to prove themselves by editing The Star in all its editions for one day, When the first issue appeared, the editor of The Star pronounced it good and showed his confidence in the students by allowing them to write and edit it again next year, and the year following. The privilege was allowed to lapse in 1923, but has restored by the present editor, Ray W. Felton. The restoration is gratifying to School of Journalism stu- dents, to many of whom it affords the most excellent practical experience of their university careers. _ For entrusting to us for another day one of the most E i pular newspapers in the Northwest, students of the as of Journalism are under lasting obligations to The Star and its staff members. Days of High Romance * a Ne HISTORY-MAKING flight of American globe- ge encircling flyers makes the old world seem not such & matter-of-fact one after all. Magellan and Drake and the old boys of other days ed-lives to Square of bunting; that was all. Yet men faced death to carry it around the earth—first! The knights in armor set out to accomplish great feats for a lady and to fulfill a vow. “The knights are dust and their good swords rust,” as the old couplet says, but their spirit lives in 1924. ; " _. The mission is changed; the equipment is different, ‘ but the bold eyes that gleamed thru helmet bars in the _erusades have their counterpart in those of the hardy flyers who are daring far waters and strange wastes in a way that men never dared before.

They may sometimes have cut hair ) that it looked as if it had been carved with a knife fork, but they at least saved money. | Many a man who was a daily castomer at the barber p in the days of 15-cent shaves took to piloting his ‘razor when the price became 25 cents. Now with it prices aviating, a corresponding movement of | families to “do their own” or let their locks go uncut, may make many an idle barber chair where a busy one was before. Eventually, of course, the law of supply and demand _ will determine charges. If the barbers have raised prices too much, loss of business will prove the fact. _ No one who has ever developed corns standing on his feet eight to 10 hours a day will argue that barbers are not entitled to a fair living.
