were games and books and gymna SUM

could go there and have d rafting good
time and do pretty much as they pleased

were decent. And there was plenty of
light and warmth. and man to show
them how to play games they did not

One of the things which surprised
many boys at first was that there were
no long lists of rules posted up. Every

then to see the youngsters having a good
time are tempted to poke their fingers in
their ears and exclaim:

And Supt. Fowler replies:
There is no fighting or trouble. The
boys are having game and are enjoy
ing themselves the way all boys do. We
let them blow off steam all they want
to. but any roughness and real disorder
is suppressed at once.
The boys had such mighty good time
at their club that the girls wanted to
know why they couldn't go there too, so
at length a girls club was launched 1t
opened only three or four weeks ago,
and the girls from the neighborhood were
eager to attend. Special hours are set
apart for them. and plans are being made

When this sort OF thing can and does

for which this little boy thus got so

Occasionally customer drops into this
shop who "resents." as he says, being
told whether he shall or shall net give
the man who shaves him or cuts his hair
tip. He no sooner gets his words of
''resentfulness' out of his system than
he is politely told by the proprietor of
the No Tip Shop that there are many
other excellent tonsorial parlors in the
immediate neighborhood. and that the
sooner he conveys his custom to any or
all of them, why, the better satisfied the
proprietor of the No Tip Shop will be.
1t is a delight to get barbered at that
barber shop, not altogether by reason OF
the money one lays up by patronizinS

possess the feeling that the barber Is

to give him by way of tip. and there
is a sort of mutual respect between your
