BARRIERS

In the January issue of the Journey
man Barber, SecretaryTreasurer Jacob
Fischer has an article in reference to the
agreement recently reached between the
boss and Journeymen BARRIERS in Billings,
Mont. 1t will be recalled that Ed. An
derson, secretary OF the Colorado Jour
neymen BARRIERS Association, was sent to
Billings to handle the strike. When the
union members won their fight they
returned to work under a flat scale
agreement, the first one of this character
ever secured by local union. Secretary
Fischer commends Anderson for his sue
eessful handling of the strike and says:
at is the opinion of the writer that
the sooner our organization gets on
straight salary basis the better off the
members of our organization will be-
Then any member who holds a position
will be able to figure exactly as to the
amount of his income for the week ana
will not have to depend entirely on
whether the business is good or bad and
the amount of tips he may receive from
customers. 1t will likewise be better for
the employer, as he will know exactly
the expense of operating his shop from
one week to another and will know how
much business he will have to do IN
order to conduct his shop. 1t will elm
mate the proposition OF employers hav-
ing more chairs in a shop than he has
business to accommodate. One of the
great drawbacks in the barber business
is the overlooking of barber shops with
extra chairs and workingmen during
busy as well as leisure hours without
any consideration for the employe as to
whether he will make anything or not.
There is no reason why the members of
this organization should not get on the
same basis as any other trade union
when he gives an hours services to the
employer he should receive an hours
pay"

In speaking of personal recollections
Of Dion Boucicault. Henry Miller dwells
upon his superb skill az stage direc-

which occurred during his first re-
hearsal under Boucicault:
II went to him direct from Augustin
Days management. DAILY coached his
players to cross and recross the stage
during the progress OF the play with
the idea that this continual moving
about Of the nctors created dramatic
action. During my first rehearsal l
made a DAILY cross as ! spoke one Of
my lines.
"'Why did you do thnt?' Boucicault
asked in his quaint. quizzical manner.
II explained that I imagined 1t would
keep the scene moving

dryly. but II I cannot interest the nu-
dience with my pen ! don't think you

MAKE THE HOME BRIGHT.
Dark colors For Walls and Woodwork
Have q Depressing Effect.


The interior decorations Of mans
home may have much to do with his
domestic happiness or unhappiness. AZ
the case may be. according to the Sec
rotary of the international Association
Of Master House Painters and Decorn-
tors. The depressing effect OF dark
colors In wood finish and wall paper
has wrecked homes which would bave
been happy had the colors been bright.
IL the opinion OF this expert.
ozark colors In home decoration are
like dark. gloomy days In their effect
on people," he said. ut Is well known
that gloomy days are commonly known
to the police as suicide days. There
are many more suicides murders and
other crimes on rainy days. A man
owes 1t to his family to surround 1t
with bright rooms which will catch all
the sunlight there Is and turn 1t into
domestic happiness.
"a room done In dark c0lors has the
same effect on persons entering 1t az
utter darkness. Ones senses cannot he
SO active as In bright surroundings
and there Is loss Of buoyancy that
breeds grouches. with all their disas
trous results. Bright. clean. open minds
are the sure result Of bright surround
ings."-Kansas City Star.

An eager young teacher was review
ing the Sunday school lesson In mis-

was Moses and the bush that burned

ten or twelve had been greatly inter

to expose their knowledge. Answers

"Now. Harry. it's your turn"
"Yessum." was the confident answer.
"Tell me what there was about this
burning bush that was different from
any bushes that have burned since"

The
Scrap Book
Rathsr Fur Fetched.

This story must have been studied
over for lorg time. As u matter OF
fact, we believe that Solomon Beach
Its sponsor, started Oh II early In the
summer OF 1918 md has only nov
brought 1t to the pitch of perfection
where he can bear to part with 1t
However. 1t may be spontaneous
even true-and rs such we print 1t.
Solomon's wife asked him for II set
of hot weather furs. and Sol laughed
her to scorn. He said that he'd fallen
for a good many fool fads. but he'd
fight against this one with his dying
breath. Summer furs, indeed! Pooh.
Now Solomon Beach has but one
wife, and In other ways also lie is un-
like his putative godparent. the origi-
nal Solomon. In wisdom. for Instance
And this one wife attacked him thus
with a fine scorn:
What n paltry thing your love is!'
This would have crushed any one
but s. B. But he came back with:
"Paltry thing. indeed! II | took
your view of the matter ! should call
1t peltry thing"
But by the time she had consulted
the dictionary the jest had lost its
point.-Clevcland Plain Dealer.
