The barber was through trimming
the hair of a man, probably from the
far suburbs, and the cut was one OF
modern fashion. not too short.
The receiver scrutinized the work OF
the tonsoriaI specialist with great
care and seemed to be satisfied.
In exchange for the cutting, he
handed the barber % cents.
Mistake, sir" said the polite In
dividuaI in white. "Since June Is and
on account of the war. hsircuts are
now thirty-five cents"
A slow "umph" came from the one
that suffered thereby as he dug deep
into his jeans for the extra dime.
After a careful search he discovered
the needed amount to defray the eN-
pense, and when he gave 1t up, said:
Say, barber, on account of the war,
will you please cut about 10 cents
worth more of"
He climbed into the chair and the
surprised barber cut the mans hair
short
