WANTS AUTO STALLS
Cooperative Club Wants City to En-
force New Parking Rules.

All day parking of cars along Kan
-sas avenue would bring down the min
ions of the law ON the offenders I'M
der a. campaign to be urged by the
Topeka Cooperative club. The club
will meet with the mayor and the
city commissioners at dinner at the
Elks' club Tuesday night and at that
time will urge the city government to
inaugurate up-to-date parking condi-
tions here.
A time limit of IS minutes or an hour
for parking cars along main streets
will be urged and the city probably
will be asked to employ extra traffic
policemen to enforce this ruling as
well as the 45-degree parking rule
asked.
Kansas avenue is to be laid off into
individual white marked parking
places as soon as he snow melts the
marking material is already in the
hands of the street department. Traf-
fic cops would note the time of arrival
of cars in the stalls under the Coop
club plan and all-day "boarders'
would be arrested
A limit on parking would reduce
the q number of minor accident and
would be a boon to Topeka's rural
rade. according to w. E. Brelsford,
leader in the campaign. The plan
has the support of the Topeka Auto
club.

Fifty cents for a hair> cut
Twenty five cents for q shave
These are the prices that go into

in accordance with action recently

fifty cents.

mark about wanting to get in under

from there on out" until prices came
back to something like a reasonable
charge"
Fringcs To Be Stylish.
There were some who get hair
cut once a month; others every two
| months and few who run loose still
longer before a succumbing to a bar
Der and his clipping tools. The boys
who get all fixed up once a week are
going to be hardest hit. Their girls
will probably get to see more of them
now with their necks all woody. 1t
may even become stylish to let it grow
out like a fringe over the ears and
| coat collar.
If a barber finishes up ten hair cuts
a day he takes in five dollars for the
house. It was once that a man could
| go in and go from soup to fish and
| get out for about two dollars Now
he must go in with a five dollar bill
and shoot the whole thing to get
prettied up.
| Il hope they do strike,'' said one
chap, when he heard of the contem-
plated BARRIERS strike. Then one will
have a good excuse for going without
a hair cut. You can get by any time
| shaving yourself, but its bad news
| when you try a hair cut yourself or

| sail up the rear upper end of your

BARRIERS Arc Optimistic.

cutter. Boy, howdy," said the VIC
