WAKE UP AND GET IN
THE GAME If YOU WANT
ARIZONA TO WIN

Returns received today at state head
quarters of the United Drive for Re-
lief in the Near East make it extreme
ly doubtful whether Arizona is going
over the top in this movement. De-
spite the early prospects of success,
very discouraging reports have been
received from all but one or two coun-
ties.
wake up" is the gist of a telegram
which has just been sent out from
headquarters to all workers, urging
them to do their utmost during the
remaining days of the campaign to
bring in the funds which are so ur.
gently needed.
Arizona can ill afford to fall down
in this work" declared State Chairman
David Goldberg. "One t-,rdred and
fifty thousand dollars which Arizona
is asked to raise is a pitably small
amount when one considers the fact
that millions of men, women and chill
dren are on the verge of starvation,
and that their only hope of relief is
from America.
1T would, indeed, be discouraging if
Arizona does not do her share in this
great altruistic movement. The apathy
which has been shown in some quar-
ters is deplorable in the extreme, and
my only hope lies in the results which
may be achieved in the latter days of
relief week.
'Let every one put forth just little
effort, make just little sacrifice that
the full amount of-our quota may be
raised. The most abject poverty in
America is a luxury when compared to
the unparalleled destitution in Armen-
ia, Syria and Asia Minor Imagine 60
ing down the streets of your town-if
there was town left and seeing
your neighbor's little children eating
out of garbage pail, and farther on
a mother sitting before the bodies of
her children who had died a slow
death from underfeeding. In the next
block men fighting over the carcass of
dead horse, to get the first meal they
would have for some days A few
steps ahead, heap of ashes which
used to be your own home These are
the conditions your money will help to
alleviate. Are you going to remain i'm
passive to such dire distress?"

CLEVELAND BOY MAR
RIEs FRENCH GIRL
(By Ralph w. Tyler)

BREST, France.-Ed P. Nicks, first
class private in one of the Colored
labor units here, and whose home is
2507 Scovill avenue, Cleveland, Ohio,
finds himself in rather embarrassing
position Ed recently married fas-
cinating little French girl, and he
labored under the belief that, when
married, he could live with his wife
and outside the governments reser-
vation. He now discovers that he
must continue to occupy a bunk in
the camp barracks, while his wife, as
before, must be far removed from him
in her room in town. Furthermore,
it is surmised that when Ed prepares
to return home, it may be difficult
for his wife to secure French pass
port to sail, for the French, short Of
man and woman-power, are not in
discriminatory issuing passports TO
natives to leave the country. While
Ed Nicks has married French girl,
he is separated from her through rig
orous army rules, as if they were d.
vorced.

SOLDIERS
FIRST TO REACH
GERMAN SOIL

The 369th infantry (colored), that
is expected to arrive in New York
from Brest on board the Stockholm
Sunday or Monday, under command
of Col. William Hayward, never lost
prisoner, trench or a foot of ground
in aservice of nearly year on French
soil, according to information made
public yesterday by Major Lorillard
Spencer.
The 369th, the first Negro regiment
to go into active service on the firing
line, landed at Brest on December. 81,
1917.
In April, 1918, after initiation to fire
in the Champagne district, the 369th
held 20 per cent of all the ground held
by the American army, although nu-
merically less than one per cent Of
that army
The regiment was decorated by the
French authorities for operations in
the offensive of September and Octo-
Der, 1913 More than one hundred
officers and enlisted men received the
decoration of the Legion of Honor or
the Croix de Guerre for exceptional
gallantry in action.
Marching as an advance guard OF
the 161st Division of the Second
French army, the 369th was the first
unit of all the allied armies to reach
the Rhine after the signing of the
armistice. The regiment had 191 days
in front-line trenches and in battle,
which is believed to be record
among American units.

Billion Dollar Bill Guarantee to
Wheat Growers Denounced

Washington, Feb Ill. F. Gates of
the Chicago Board of Trade, today
told the House Agricultural Committee
that he regarded the $780, 900, 900 bill
to guarantee wheat prices to the farm
ers of the country as a piece of "vici-
Gus legislation"
1t is so vicious that if the business
interests possessed full knowledge of
its character or had an idea that it
was likely to pass Congress in its pres
ent form, the temporary buildings
erected near the capitol would not be
large enough to accommodate the men
from every part of the country who
would camp here to protest it, said
Gates.
The bill was drafted by William A.
GLASGOW of the food administration
and has been submitted to the chair
men of the Senate and House Agricul.

Shampoo, S5 cents. With ranch
eggs, half dollar.
And so on, and so forth. Nothing
less than ten cents, and as high as
you care TO go. In fact it's no-limit
game
And while you are being introduced
to the mysteries of the modern barber
shop, a boy will polish your shoes for
a dime, while a manicurist polishes
your nails and holds your hand in her
loving embrace, at so cents an en-
brace, or so cents polish, if you pre-
fer to reckon it that way.
Yes, indeed! The safety razor has
knocked the barber out of many a
dime, but while it has been doing it
the modern barber has been busy
thinking up ways and means to- ex-
tract many a dollar from his custom
er's pocket.
And the modern barber is wiser
than the old fashioned barber, in 9TH
er ways. He is deep student of hu-
man nature. Just watch him and see
for yourself.
Comes to his chair surly, grabbed
old codger, who says what he thinks,
blurts out what he wants, and sits
down. Says it just as if he wanted a
shave and no more, with the empha-
sis on the last two words. And that's
all he gets, too. No suggesting. No
intimating that his hair is getting
bushy And not even an intimation
that he might like a massage. No,
sirl
Oh, he's wise old owl, is the mod
ern barber
But watch him when he lights on a
customer who looks like ready money
"a dressy young guy, with big jim
gle in his pocket, and all perfumed up
as through he were just starting on 4
counting trip. And what does he get?
Well, if he is susceptible to sugges-
tion he gets the limit, which means
everything from shave to penciled
eyebrows; from shine and massage
to manicure.
And before he leaves the chair the
barber has patted his cheeks, and rub
bed on tonic, and perfume, and toilet
water, and powder, until his face looks
as sweet and dolled up as that of a
chorus girl.
In short, you've simply got to hand
it to the modern barber. He's wise.
And he gets the money. And, al
though most of us keep safety razor
in the house to make believe we are
economizing. and actually use it occa-
sionally, we endure the modern bar
Der several times week, even if we
don't approve of all of his methods for
getting our money.

The Modern Barber Knows
How to Get the Money
BY Harvey E. Westgate

Time was when a barber-and even
a baldheaded barber at that-would
try to sell hair restorer to a man with
a shiny pate. But that time has gone
by Not that the modern barber does
not get the money, for he does, but he
goes about it in a different way-a
modern way.
Years ago the tonsorial artist wait
ed until it was too late for hair re-
storer, before trying to sell his wares,
but now he grabs time by the fore
lock, so to speak, and starts telling
about the virtues of a certain tonic
when the first hairs begin to fall.
And he points to his own head as a
horrible example-if he happens to be
bald-of the danger of waiting too
long. Whereas, if he happens to have
heavy locks, he shows just what the
tonic will do when used in time.
And he makes it work, too. Mean
ing by this that he makes sales, plen-
ty of them).
But the modern barber does more
than sell tonic for the hair. The safe
ty razor has gouged great holes in his
business, and he has had to devise
various ways of filing them up.
And he does it thusly
Hair singe, 25 or so cents (accord-
ing to whether you happen to be in a
cheap shop, or one where the manage
ment puts on airs, has blond mani
curist or two, and applies several hot
towels to your face).
Massage, 35 cents. if by hand. Half
a dollar if new tangled electrical
machine is trotted out.
Peroxide bleach, so cents. (This is
recommended for everything from
freckles to Atlantic City sunburn.)
Removing moles, anywhere from 25c
cents to 81 a mole.
Headease, is cents.

SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON
Being the Confessions of the Seven
Hundredth Wife Concerning Seven
Ways to Extract Money From
Husband

Go to, thou Simple One! Hast thou
not yet learned the wiles of a Wife
and the subtle ways of a Married
Woman?
For 10, there be Seven Ways to
extract money from a husband.
And the first of these is the way of
the Tyro, who ariseth while it is yet
dark and goethi through his POCK.
ETS, like thief in the night.
And the second is the way of the
highwaywoman, who "holdeth up her
Spouse upon Saturday night and TAX
eth his pay envelope AWAY from
him, and thereafter doleth it out to
him in pennies. Yet, as the weekly
instalment collector. she pounceth
upon him and maketh him stand and
deliver!
And the third is the way of the
Confidence Woman" who lureth her
Beloved to "go shopping" with her
and selecteth the PRETTIEST shop
girl to wait upon her. An behold,
when those two have finished with
him he hath not a shekel left where
with to pay his carfare home!
And the fourth is the way of the
Siren, who enticeth his shekels from
him with smiles and flattery, saying:
Beloved, as THY wife I must
have thus and so, that l may do thee
credit before other mems wives. For
the spouse of man of IMPORT
ANCE hath his reputation to consid-
er. And l am so proud of thee!"
And the fifth is the way of the
Artful Dodger, who deceiveth him
with padded accounts and false bills
and secret treaties with the grocer
and the butcher and the dairyman.
And the sixth is the way of the
Clinging Vine, who coaxeth his money
from him with cooings and kisses and
baby-talk, saying:
ooh, how noble and generous art
thou to me, a helpless little thing!
Yea, how blessed l am among women
that 1 have not a STINGY husband,
nor Tightwad, but one who granteth
my every WISH"
And the seventh is the way of the
gentle Blackmailer, who capitalizeth
her Husbands little failings and
tradeth upon his foibles and weak
nesses.
Lo, when he stoppeth at the corner
cafe for another" when he gazeth
too long upon the blonde at the next
table, when he droppeth his cigar
ashes upon the rugs, when he is half
an hour late for dinner, THEN doth
she see her opportunity and grasp it.
Yea, then doth she raise up her voice
in bitter complaining and cover him
with weeping and wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth. And until he "cometh
across" with a BRIBE she cannot
be comforted, neither silenced.
And all her jewels are the wages
of his "sins" and the price of his
follies.
For no man hesitateth to pay
"hush money" to his own WIFE and
Husbands motto is, peace at ANY
price!"
Go to, my Daughter! Come not
unto ME-, saying:
"why are women so guileful and
men so simpler"
For, alas! know not. Yet it doth
appear that man preferreth to be
jollied and deceived and grated upon
rather than make an honest "busi-
ness contract" of marriage. And the
kinder a husbands heart the more
he delighteth to play Santa Claus!"
Verify. verify, the last way for a
woman to get anything out of man,

ro the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Having just read the article on page six of todays Age Herald regarding tho -.1ocal information bureau" and the appointment of Lieut.. J. Dozler AT hold as director, I desire to say that am much gratified that Birminghar. has promulgated this move, as an or eanization of this kind has long been sorely needed in our progressive ana marvelously fast growing city
 In my judgment. when Lieutenant Brown becomes permanently located at information headquarters he will prove of incalculable benefit not only to new corners or strangers in Birmingham but to some of our old citizens as Well' as some of us are marvelousiy ignor- ant of the geography of our own nome town. This organization, which also has for it's object the bringing to gether the returned soldier and salior and the job, encouragement ana heip to the community sing, to the Drama league and other organizations, shouia be given hearty encouragement anu support. m Commenting upon the proposed III formation bureau" MT. J. Mercer Bar nett says, q would like to know how many people in Birmingham know where Orange street is, how they would tell stranger to get tnere Street signs are going to be the 1irst item that must follow the information bureau and it may be if the informa- ton bureau begins to show it's practi- cability our traffic rules will be bet. ter observed and the Go ana stop signs worked with more regularity"
 All kinds of installment houses in Birmingham are fearfully handicapped in installing new collectors, as they have practically no street signs le1t 10 guide them while out
 know from experience that a stranger in a strange city feels. more ,at liberty to ask any necessary infor- nation at an office of this kind than to stop a quondam acquaintance on the street who would probably not have the time or inclination to aquiesce even should he be in possession of the information.
 The armistice has been signed. We have achieved a glorious victory in the great world war. President Will son is on his way back to Paris to achieve another great victory in the confirmation and adoption of the league of nations" so let's all get to- gether now and do all in our power to benefit ourselves locally and the world at large. c.
