|BARRER MAKES VERY
/ SERIOUS MISTAKE

Washington, Nov 3.His lack of
complete mastery of the English Ian
lguage was responsible for the loss of
Ia carefully cultivated beard that
graced the chin of s. Zumoto, editor
of the Japan Times Of Toxic, and a
member of the Japanese Commercial
association now touring the country.
Mr.. Zumoto visited a local barber
shop yesterday.
Il would like to be shaved" he
said in hating English. Not alto
.gether, but conservatively."
He caressed his Vandyke lovingly
as he spoke. The barber, a taciturn
workman, said nothing, but tucked
the towels and apron around the Jap
anese EDITORS neck and then began.
Americans in the shop were startl
ed when they suddenly heard fluent
FLOW of what undoubtedly was lurid
Language in Japanese. The barber
had encroached on the Japanese i'm
perial, with the result that half of it
fell beneath the keen blade of his
razor before the agitated editor could
protest. 1t was necessary then to cut
1t all off. Members of the Japanese
party enjoyed the situation, but Mr..
Zumoto declined to see it in a humor-
|ous light.
