Cut Hair of 500 Youngsters

 The hair flew at St, John s Orpha :, age the other afternoon. Fifty barbers were cutting the hair on 500 llttle heads. It was the frst of a. series of visits the barbers contemplate making to charitable institutions In. the city. The roof of the orphanaEe ibuildfng. was the scene of the wholesale clipplng. Fifty chairs were occupied most of the afternoon. The 50 barbers cut 10 heads each The style produced in every case was the feather edge which means to remove all the hair save enough in front to permit the boy to comb 1t.
 Sometime ago members of the Jour- neymen Barbers' union decided that they should devote some part of their day off, which is Sunday to some good purpose. One of them suggested the idea of donating hair cut to, the orphans and fnvalids'stn local institu- tions. It was approved, unanimously
 There seemed to be some doubt. how ever. that the institutions would permit such operations on Sunday and 1t was not until the last moment that the bar bers were allowed to carry out their plan at the orphanage. But. as one of the sisters at the tnstitution said T suppose God will approve lttndness of heart whether 1t te expressed on Sun day or any other day." e

SEVENTY BONES FOR IA WHISKY AND SODA
Unfortunate Individual In South of England Forgot
 Anti ti-Treating Law

London, October 2.-tSpecial Correspon- derce.)-What amazing times we are living in! Almost before this appears in print. If the present signs hold good, we, in London. should be under local law or regulation which mpkes 1t a serious of fense to buy a thirsty friend a drink. Already some unfortunate individual in the south of England. where such reg ustion Is in existence, has been fined a mere matter of the equivalent of T0 for daring to say to a companion some thing after the following
 Well. old man. what Is yours?"
 Naturally his companion, trained from boyhood to embrace every opportunity of this character, clean forgot the no-treat
 ..,. and passed whisky and soda down his dust-lined throat Near at hand an officer of the law watched the proceed ings with il-concealed gee. and when the last drop of soda and flrewater disap- peared down the upturned throat of the recipient he laid violent legal hands upon the unfortunate purchaser. In the morn ing an unsympathetic magistrate, com peled the day before to refuse 14 offers Of alcoholic refreshment, took what he deemed an adequate revenge in fining the culprit $70
 Can you imagine such a law In the United States? The whole machinery of
 business. which now runs So smoothly on alcoholic lubricant, would come to a standstill. The travelling salesman would lose his most effective argument. and would be compelled, much against his wishes, to learn something about the goods which he carries. Contracts would be let, after period of stagnation and rec dtustment. on the merits of the several tenders and not on the amount of wine, whisky and accessories that pass across a restaurant table. f To be sure there is one ray of hopt | in the situation that threatens London
 as well as other parts of England. One may buy a friend a drink if 1t forms part of a meal. Now people are trying to arrive at convenient definition of "a | meal" and one sees visions of the old
 Ra,nes law sandwiches such as existed in New York state a number of years ago Perhaps some of those sandwiches which
 did valuable service week after week in tho saloons of Now York are still in exis- terce. and some astute American business
 man with little spare capital could not
 do better than to buy million or more and ship them to London. It should be
 understood, of course. that they are not tl
 be damaged or destroyed, and must be re- turned after the war in practically the
 same condition in which they arrive 1T l this country. @ A' -r.

TOPSY TURW LIFE
 IN LONDON TOWN Smart Thing Now To Ride In an Omnibus and Have
 Red Hands

London. October 2.-(Special)-"1 shall go raving mad unless l have occupation and a new interest," said Mrs. Guy Chet- wynd to me just before she decided defi- nitely to go on the stage. I suggested nursing. She said that was all right in a way and she was quite willing to do her share, but she lacked the real "voca- ctlon." as she put it. She was Rosalind Secor before her marriage and was born in New York, which she loves dearly. Some years ago when bridge was all the rage she was the finest player you could find. She had-indeed she still has- such a baby face that hardened players used not to want to play at the samc table with her. thinking she was just child. Directly she had played round they got over this misconception, for she could beat everyone of them. She is one of the women that. score at what ever they take in hand. When she came over here as a girl and was chaperoned by Catherine Lady Decies, she said she was going to marry a British aristocrat which she did In a very short time.
 Really, 1t is great fun the strange way we go on in. these days. Everything is | exactly the reverse of what 1t used to be- Now 1t is the correct. thing to ride in an omnibus and to have your tea in a | shop and to dress anyhow. Above all, If you want to be really smart you must | wear no gloves and have red hands Prin- cess Louise of Scfleswig- -Holstein (she is 1 first cousin of the King, being daugh- ter of his aunt, Princess Christian) was
