RED TAPE INSISTED PILOTS
BE INSTRUCTED HOW FLY
CROYDON, May 28 (/P)—Officials,
pilots and mechanics at this air sta
tion had a good laugh at the expense
of government red tape recently. All
the air express pilots are members of
the air force reserve and one or two
were up for their annual training as
reservists. To the amusement of fel
low pilots and officials, they were not
allowed, owing to regulations to take
up an airplane by themselves.
They had to go through the usual
instruction sitting in pupils’ seat and
listen to an instructor tell them how
to fly a plane.
The Admiral Watson is due to ar-'
rive in Seward from the Westward
Saturday on her way to the States.

SURVEY OF COASTS
OF THE PHILIPPINES
NEARS COMPLETION
MANILA, May 28.—(Jp)—'The Unit
ed Coast and Geodetic Survey ex
pects to complete within a few years
the work of surveying all the coasts
and adjacent waters of the Philip
pine Islands and bring to a close a
task that has been under way since
American occupation nearly 27 years
ago, Commander W. E. Parker, chief
of the division of hydrography and
topography, declared recently upon
his arrival from Washington. Com
mander Parker comes as the person
al representative of Colonel E. Les
ter Jones, director of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
and expects to remain in the Phil
ippines several months.
“It is the desire of the government
to complete the surveys of the Phil
ippine coasts and waters,” said
Commander Parker.
"The areas which have not yet
been charted are the west coast of
Palawan, the southern half of the
Sulu Sea to Borneo, the Sulu Arch
ipelago, south Mindano, northern Lu
zon to Bashi Channel, almost to For
mosa, and the west coast of Luzon
from Cape Engano to Casiguran bay.
The most important of these areas,
judging from a commercial stand
point, will be surveyed first.
“As to the importance of the task
we are about to undertake, it can
not be overestimated. It is likely
to result in the change of steamer
routes, will make navigation safer in
these waters and will change the
status of the areas from one of un
known waters to one well charted
and entirely safe to navigation.”
These waters not only will be
charted, but a complete photograph
ic record of them is to be made by
airplane. When the actual work
begins the survey party will be ac
companied by air forces of the army,
who will prepare for photographing
tlje entire coast byairplane.
Jaschke’s Tonsorial Skill
Won Royalty as Patrons
LONDON, May 28.—f/P)—Charles
Jaschlce, royal barber, who was re
sponsible for the shape of King Ed
ward’s beard which became the envy
of the courts of Europe, died recent
ly in his 66th year. He came to
London 40 years ago from Czechoslo
i vakia, with $10 in his pockets, but by
industry, and a personality which
was said by customers to fit a hair
dresser perfectly, he eventually gain
ed the respect of monarchs, peers,
admirals, generals and numerous
j others of note who frequented his
Regent Street shop and always call
ed him Charles.
In 1883 Jaschke walked to the Der
by, but the next year he could af
ford to see the race from the royal
enclosure. Assisted by a peer who
had become a devoted customer,
Charles soon became barber to King
Edward and the royal family. At
the stroke of nine each morning, he
called at Buckingham Palace to trim
the King’s beard and on Sundays he
went to Sandringham and to Balmor
al every ten days or so when the
court was there.
Charles attended King Edward’ un
til the day of his death. “What I like
about you, Charles,” the king is
quoted as having said once to the
barber, “is that you do not talk aj
lot. You’re seen, but not heard. It’s
a pleasure to see you around.”
Jaschke accompanied the present
king, then the Prince of Wales, on
his empire tour in 1901 and after
ward on the voyage to India for the
Durbar in 1911-12.' The King of
Spain, the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of York and Captain Ramsay, hus
band of Princess Patricia, w^ere
among his customers up until a few
weeks before his death. Such was
the clientele of Jaschke’s shop that
the back part of his saloon became
known as the House of Lords.”

steadily changed the huge country es
tates into farms and subdivisions.
The new social system is, of course,
radicalism to the Victorian mind, but
today the Victorians who continue
to live in their lofty Mayfair houses
are deserting these for inexpensive '
flats.
During the last year scores of
Mayfair houses have been turned
into self contained flats, while oth
ers are plastered with rent and sale
signs. The latest defections from the
ranks of the nineteenth century con
servatives are Lady Constance Les
lie, and Alice, Countess of Strafford, i
both famous hostesses of 50 years I
ago. Lady Constance has sold her
Manchester Square residence where
she used to entertain Queen Victoria,
Dickens, Thackery, Gladstone and
many other prominent persons. She
is moving into an apartment, as is !
also the countess.
