The first thing a barber has to learn." he said. is to respect the scalp locks of middle aged and old gents
 Scalp locks?' the interviewer quer- jed
 "A scalp lock" the barber explained lis a kind of a natural wig. You know how men get bald-on the crown. leaving loads of hair at the back and sides? Well, from somewhere in the fertile region, from above the right ear. say, or from the back of the neck men grow scalp locks eight, nine ten inches-even a foot in length
 "A good full scalp lock jutting from behind the ear can be spread over a perfectly bald head in such way as to give the effect of a thin but quite nice thatch. You ought to see some of these old chaps manipulate their scalp locks. It's as good as q play the way they wet them up, bring them forward over the huge white desert part them to left and right, and stick them down firmly.
 But when you cut off scalp lock, Dear me! I once cut off a ten-inch scalp lock from behind the left ear of a 60-year old banker, and that evening his fiance. a lovely girl of r sum mers, tilted him. Yes, sir-jilted all that money. Shes loved him, you see, for himself alone And yet they say romance is dead on Broadway"

RULE OF THE ROiO
 IS OFTEN VIOLATED
Many Collisions Traced to the Oisre-
 qard of it.

There ought to be q more strict en- forccment of the rule of the road" in Phoenix requiring all vehicles to keep on the right side The rule is disre- garded as frequently as it is obeyed on all streets except those in the vi- cinity of Center and Washington street where q traffic officer is stationed. Several accidents have happened late Iy on account of disregard of the rule.
 The mosr frequent offenders are MeXicans who follow the custom of their own and European countries where the left of the road is kept, though in passing q vehicle going in the same direction the driver takes the right. Though that rule is q reas- onable one since drivers all over the world sit on the right of vehicles it is not the American rule and Americans are not disposed to adopt it. Foreign CTS should then conform to it.
 The other evening an automobile was being driven west on Jefferson street. keeping the right side of the street. At Center a Mexican driving down Center turned into Jefferson from the left side of Center street There was the ground work for collision but the driver turned the machine aside when the Mexican became con fused and turned toward the same point. When the driver of the auto turned the other way. the Mexican in his confusion followed suit and his horse catching his confusion and un- certainty reared with his fore feet hanging over the windshield of the ma chine. 4 delft turn of the steering Whecn barely avcrted a collision.
 Drivers of automobiles generally fol- low the rule of the road since they have a good deal of money tied up in their machines and do not want them to participate in collisions which would be inevitable unless they kept on their own side
