OF HAIR-CUTS
TAkESAB BIG JUMP

Hrsute appendages on both scalp
! and face will be the style in Martins
burg for the remainder of the war
or, rather, until the local BARRIERS de-
eide that war conditions justify them
in bringing down prices to their pre-
war level.
I According to an advertisement in
{ the Journal, the tonsorial gentlemen
I have advanced the price of hair-cuts
to 80 cents per. And a funny thing
about it was that the advance had
gone into effect before the announce
ment was made This was explained
by one of the BARRIERS saying that the
knights of the razor and scissors
were afraid some of their customers
might lay in surply of hair-cuts if
/ they gave notice in advance of the
raise in prices.
Time was not so long ago, that the
shaggy OF the city could get trimmed
on the scalp and on the face without
bein likewise trimmed in the peck
etbook-20 cents per scalp and 10
Bcents per mug--but those happy days
are now numbered with the dead
/ things that were. The price OF a
haircut has advanced just Is per
cent since those days, while. the
price of a shave has gone up SO per
cent. This is explained by the bar
bers by saying that the price of steel.
in a razor and pair OF scissors had
materially advanced, and that nervo-
muscular energy-much of which is
required to mow many Martinsburg
scalps and fhces--has likewise adj
vanced3 as a commodity. Also the
price of the paper upon which they
wipe the lather from the razors has
advanced daylight has also advanc-
ed tone hour per day, there is a
noticeable increase in the pressure OF
the atmosphere at times. and the
city officials threaten to increase
taxes on all property Taking all
these things into consideration. the
BARRIERS have decided that further
advance of 40 per cent in the price
of haircut is justified.
| ,Mebbe 1t is-,mebbe it is! Some
times, when we look in the. glass, we
] are inclined to agree with the bar
bers.'

How Will We Pay McAdoo?

INSTRUMENTATION will, Director
General of Railroads McAdoo be paid
when he relinquishes his place on the
pay roll of the government as secre-
tary of the treasury on Tuesday De-
cember II. The law says that no one
may receive two salaries from the gov
eminent. That is why he received no
salary as director general of the rail-
roads and has had only his cabinet
salary.
The law also says no one may serve
the government without compensation.
That is why there have been dOllar-a-
year men in Washington. Regional d.
rectors under the director general re-
ceive salaries of $4,000 a year, fixed
by the director general.
In the absence of any specific appro-
priatiOn by congress, it Is understood
that the presidents broad powers I'M
der the railroad act will allow him to
fix salary. Whether that salary will
be dollar or $4,000 year Is entirely
in the discretion of the president.
