Why Respectable Men Wore
Boards in Old Bible Times

den to round the corners of your
heads .....or mar the corners of
thy beard" Lev., xix, 27), because
such was a custom among some of the
idolaters around them.
The beard was so highly esteemed
as the mark of responsibility and of
standing in the community that it was
sworn by, and it was considered a
greater insult to cut off the beard
than to cut off the nose among many
ancient people.
The prophet Isaiah can find no more
telling metaphor for expressing shame
than THE Lord shall shave with a
razor and it shall also consume
the beard" (vii, 2O).
When in deep distress or mourning
the sufferers tore out hair and beard
as a sign of degradation. "On all their
heads shall be badness, and every
beard cut off" &c. XIV, q. The priest
was forbidden to shave or trim his
hair or beard, as an especial mark of
holiness (Lev, xxi, 81, and many SUI
perstitions gathered around the beard.
When combing hair and beard it was
considered ESSENTIAL to destroy all of
the hairs that fell out, so as to prevent
'
their falling into the hands OF personal
enemies who might il this way be able

Washington Doesn't Know.

Washington, Dec 3.-Washington did
not know tonight whether it favored
the suggestion for the postponement
until April of the Inauguration pageant
that has so frequently proceeded
through snow and slush from the cap
itol to the white house. Plans have
proceeded under the expectation that
March would witness all of the in
augural ceremonies connected with
the assumption of power by the Demo-
cratic president, but business men and
officials are considering the suggestion
mentioned in dispatches from Bermuda
today to see whether it is practicable
and possible to make the change.
Few senators or members of the
house would openly discuss the plan
today. Representative Henry, whose
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment changing the inaugural date, is
pending in the House, was out of the
city. Several members of the senate
expressed the opinion that should the
inaugural parade be deferred until late
in April it would come as an anti
climax to the enthusiasm attendant
upon the ushering in of new presi-
dent.

The BEARD has been considered a
sign of manhood among most ancient
nations. and the Hebrews were no eX-
ception to this rule. In fact there is
record of a war that was brought
about because of the shaving of the
boards of the emissaries sent by David
to bring messages of consolation to
Hanum upon the death OF his father,
King of Ammon. The tale is told inll.
Samuel, X, Alt, and there we learn
that when Hanun susected the mes
sengers of David of being spies, he
shaved off one-half of their boards and
sent them back, and that the men were
greatly ashamed" and waited in Jer-
icho until their boards had grown
again. David considered this valid
cause for declaring war, and under the
generalship of Joab the Ammonites
and their allies were defeated.
| The Egyptians, as proved by the
monuments, believed in shaving the
face, and in the story of Joseph it is
related that before he was brought in
the presence Of Pharaoh he shaved
himself" (Gen., XII, 14), this being the
first mention of shaving in the Bible,
and in any literature.
The beard was worn untrimmed,
and, in fact, the Hebrew was forbid

one of the Oldest superstitions known
to men, and one of the most universal,
having it's believers even today, espec-
tally among the ignorant
1t was the custom among the He
brews in the time of David to salute
one another by kissing the beard, as it
is to be read And Joab took Amasa
by the beard with the right hand to
kiss it, q Sam, Xxx, 81, and possibly on
this account, even though the beard
was not trimmed, it was carefully kept
and pjerfumed with odorous oils.
Under one condition was the Hebrew
ordered to shave the hair, beard, and
even the eyebrows, and that was when
he had been healed of leprosy and
was to take the final cleansing ritual
bath Lev., xvi, 81,
These provisions were applied most
strictly by the ancient Hebrews, and
even by the Jews when they returned
from Babylonian exile, but in the sec
ond century B. c., when Greek culture
had made great inroads into Palestine,
the Greek fashion of clean-shaven
faces was adopted by all who strove to
be in favor with Antiochus, the Syrian
ruler, and even the high priest, Jason,
initiated the new fashion. This was
