Sew~York, Aug. 23.-Eyery now and
then Brooklyn wakes up. paws the
well-known and justly famed air and
breaks into the FIRST pages. Only a
few weeks ago a vampire from Flat
bush vamped a Brooklyn deacon and
lured him from the parlor lamp.
Now the Brooklyn barber is respon-
sible for smearfng the city's fame all
over the fornt pages. Brooklynites
used to pay % cents for a haircut, now
they pay 30. md II the Brooklynite
shaves himself he pays 10 cents more.
That is the Brooklyn's BARRIERS story
and he is going to stick to II. He Is
tired Of patrons coming in with a
three-day's growth. getting a haircut
and then going home to use a safety
razor.
In addition to the liberty bonds, war
stamps. Income tax, special tax, thea
ter tax, race track tax, eating tax,
drinking tax, movie tax, hatroom tax.
telephone tax. comes the tonsorial tax
Brooklyn is full Of tax.
Scarcity of wool on account of the
war doesn't account for the increased
price of the Brooklyn haircut. Moth
ing seems to account for il. Hair is a
nonessential. according to the bar
bers, and 1t is up to them to cut II or.
The governments instructions are 10
cut of nonessentials.
But why is haircut without a
shave worth as much as a haircut
with a shave? 1t isn't. But II Is. The
answer is: No matter how dark and
stormy the night, she is still your
mother
The mirrored barber shops In New
York incidentally are exacting new
prices. In the ultra hotel places the
shave has skidded to the 25-cent notch
and the haircut is now 30 cents.

Jolting Dan Cupid.

Now what do you think of this? Here's Mayor
Heidenreich of Hazleton, Pa, with ultmatum
that those young persons who have penchant for
moonlight strolls, park benches and shady hooks,
shall do their courtisg in the family parlor here
after.
Watch for the exodus of Hazletonian lads and a
sadness on the moons face as he beams down upon
this "spoonless" town!
The mayor may mean WELL but he doesn't know
human nature He has forgotten the ,days-and
moonlit evenngs-of his youth. From the time
whereof the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary" there have been kings, governors mayors
and parents trying to curb Dan Cupid with rules
and regulations They failed to clip his wings or
blunt his arrows.
1t cannot be done. Mister Mayor. You had
better stick to your office and tend to your official
knitting. The family parlor is no place to hold
hands and exchange those heart-conhding glances-
not as long as her pa insists upon talking upon
the war and her wants to gossip about the
weather, and both hang around until fellow has
just enough time to race for the last street car.

The column conductor on a New
York newspaper has for two years
been a consistent booster for knitted
ties. He wrote poems about them
and editorial squibs, and whenever he
got a chance he sprinkled a good
word through his column OF chatter
about knitted ties. An opposition
column conductor in some fashion
learned that the father OF the knitted
tie booster ran a knitting mill. He
did not hesitate to publish il and
he threw a harpoon every day about
the close knit family ties and the
knitted ties. The booster for the

Ancient and Modern Roads.

Modern road engineers seem to have
great difficulty In determining how a
really good and substantial road
should be built. This Is hard for the
layman to understand, when we con-
slider the roads built by the Romans a
thousand years ago, which, except for
neglect of the surface, are still giving
good service. Then there are the not
able roads Of the Continent, that have
survived hundreds of years traffic.
II would seem that study of such
roads would furnish much needed in
formation but possibly the trouble
lies In futile attempt to get some
thing for nothing, by spreading the
cost Of one mile of good road over ten
miles OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Amer
