A movement is on foot in the sound
cities to close the barber shops on
Sunday and entirely prohibiting all
tonsorial ACCOMMODATIONS to the pub
lie on that day. Tho barber is an i'm
portant parsonage in the community
and has been ever since the oldon
times when he combined with the
profession that of surgery also. The
cut OF the hair is Il thing on which
much depends. Had Absalom patron
lied barber he would not have found
himself up tree. On the other hand
Samson permitted an amateur barber,
not member of the union, 10 TOY
with his locks and everybody knows
what happened to him, Nn2h in-
portance also attaches to the fashion
OF the beard. When II man awakens
Sunday morning and realizes that to
be presentable he must have his chin
scraped, and discovers that there is
no shop available Tor the purpose, his
language is likely to be Of q character
calculated to lower the moral tone
much more markedly than would the
quiet and orderly operations Of score
