II. c. |. Forces BARRIERS 10 Raise

The Hi costa growing hair now
comes into it's own. Could the
curse which Adam passed on to the
world be logically classed, we would
say that man has reached the dregs
Of the bitter cup of worm wood and
gall when he has to pay so cents to
keep his head of hair within the
bounds of decreed fashion. Mil
bank BARRIERS announced that here
after hair cuts would be so cents
and shaves 25 cents. just double the
price of those good old days "be-
fore the war.
But we are not hol!ering,'
rather we pattern after the efferves-
Gently philosophical editor of the
Los Angeles Times who comes back
with a justifying editorial in this
manner:
1--WE fail to see any foundation
for 'holler' in law or equity, not
to speak of the fact that the brick
layers are getting eight dollars per
day for building houses or Chin
neys, while barber, much superb
or and far more important man,
can work from daylight to dark
without stopping for lunch and then
not make eight dollars.
Let us be fair, fellow citizens;
let us not know, in the first blush

fession against another"
"You wouldn't ask surgeon to
cut out your appendix for fifty
cents would you? Yet the surgeon
can cut out your appendix in less
time and with infinatly greater ease
than the barber can cut your hair
off. Let US take this argument
still further. for we feel that this
must be settled for once and for
ever
when the doctor cuts out one 8
appendix what happens to the OBJ
ject OF said operation? In the first
place he is put to sleep, and conse-
quently deprived of the pleasure of
knowing anything whatever Of the
proceeding.
The nurse can talk to the doctor
and the doctor will talk to the
nurse, maybe about the weather,
maybe about Bertha M. Clay and
maybe about you, all the while
taking survey Of your insides,
but you do not hear them. you can
not even take part in the discus
sion and are thereby robbed of that
gain.
But when you ease into the bar
ber shop, give the greetings Of the
day and climb into the easy chair.
you relax. and you settle down to
one of the rare treats of the hum
drum and jaded life that you are
leading.
1T is then that the barber
swoops down upon you gently as q
noiseless airplane in search of q
long lost hanger. His sissors start
| up that lazy drone that sooths your
censes, dulls your agerevations,
smooths out the trouble and the
world assumes the rosy hue Of early
morn.
with the ease born Of q perfect
education in the vast university OF
life, the barber regales you with
his wisdom and unbelievable
knowlede of all things known to mar
and many things known only to him
self.
