THE RICH MANS BARBER

DRUNSER!" The rich man had just left the
- BARRIERS chair. and as he closing the door he
heard this strange slang word, uttered in low tone
by the barber who had shaved him. What did it
mean.
1t is slang for the customer that gives big tip A
genuine brunser is good for a dollar The cost of
the shave, in shops catering the richest class of
customers, is usually twenty cents: but the tip is
often five times that.
The shop rule is that each customer shall receive
similar treatment; but such is the weakness Of
human nature that it's the brunser who gets the
devoted service. while the 'schesser," the fe-
low that won't tip. often has hard time of it.

Navigating the Fogs.
It has long been suggested that the
fogs across the English channel are
heavy enough to navigate, and perhaps
Bleriot's feat may be taken as proof Of
this. On the same theory the vicinity
OF London should be ideal for bip!anes,
monoplanes and any other sort of a
plane that could sail around In or on a
fog. With such meaty. ponderous and
substantial fogs as these of London it
would be impossible for anything so
light as an alrship to fall through.
The channel Is historic body Of
water that has been the graveyard of
more ships than any equal stretch of
sea on the planet. Perhaps its tur
bulence has done more than British
