much as practically all branches OF
organized labor get a half holiday
each week, the BARRIERS feel they
are entitled to the same. Most of
the men work on a commission
basis. and the loss of a half days
work means a money loss to them,
but this they are willing to stand.
They contend that 80 per cent of
the men who have barber work
done in the evenings quit their
jobs in time to get home and eat
and get down to shop.

AUTO CLUBS TO AID
They Pass Resolutions Favoring En-
forcenlent of Traffic Ordinances.


At the meetings held Tuesday eve
ming the Topeka Automobile club and
the Auto Dealers club adopted resolu-
tions expressing approval of the move
ment to enforce a stricter adherence
to the traffic regulations provided in
the city ordinances.
At the meeting of the automobile
dealers held at the Elks club, Mayor
H. j. Corwine made the suggestion
that the club donate paint for mark
ing out stalls along the curbing on
both side of Kansas avenue from Fifth
to Ninth street for the purpose of
designating spaces for parking motor
cars. The suggestion met with ap-
prevail and the men agreed to furnish
the paint. In a few days parking
spaces will probably be marked in
white lines up and down the avenue
Resolutions were also passed to ask
the Topeka Street Railway company
to remove the cobble stones between
the tracks and along the outside of
the rails on Kansas avenue. 1t was
pointed out that the stones are a nuis-
ance for many reasons. The three
principal reasons are that it is i'm
possible to drive across them without
being bumped about as if driving on
a corduroy road; that they are noisier
than another kind of pavement would
be when the street cars passed along
the rails because they give off more
vibration and make more reVerbera-
ton; and that they are a constant eve
sore adding to the appearance of the
avenue only "hick" characteristics.

week, however, and stated today that
he could not say when the Renker

ernor's office today for a discussion
of the case with Judge Smith. Altho
