A Prayer Against Exorbitant
Rents $40 Years Ago
By BILL PRICE.

Mighty English landlords in the days of Edward vi,
1880 oppressed the people with exorban rents The laws
all favored the landlords they do in the District today
and the Kings avores the of the huge estates
and of the humble homes of the poor.
There little in appealing to the law anu so the
helpless people, believing the righteousness and all
vadng OF the Almighty resorted prayer that the
of the landlords gh be sofened and the greed
within them lessened What the effect then is not
easily ascerainabe but it is true that in Great Britain
today the tenant is fully protected against gross and pratt
cal profeering
One of the nationwide prayers of that day is given:

= What Is a Barber Shop?
Answer: Rent Tools, Intelligence and Labor. VIII,
NOT Divide Proftsi

There have been many barber strikes there Will prob
ably be BARRIERS want guarantee OF 50 much week
and half the profits after certain amount has been taken In
The owners of barber shops say that is impossible But
Is it REALLY impossible?
barber shop requires first the shop itself in the right
place which means paying Then some inexpensive
tools chairs scissors, razors, AND sKILLFUL LABOR
The business walks in its feet there Is no manu-
featuring not much saesmanship although an intelligent
boss barber undoubtedly brings and holds customers as tho
years pass
Why would it not be fair for the owner to say to the
workers. "Firss, will guarantee YOU enough to live,
since you MUST live. Second, will take out enough to
pay my rent amortize and renew my equipment since
MUST have my rent After that we will divide on fair
basis will take my part for management you yours Tor
skill and labor"
p Would that be such impossible arrangement?
If man, standing behind a barbar chair owned by
another cuts the hair of third man and collects hfty
cents why wouldn't be fair to give the that cuts the
hair twenty-five and the that the barber
chair twenty five cents?
The boss barber may say: "Whie the other man was
spending his money and enjoying himself saved my money
buy the barber chairs and used intelligence and credit
get the lease this barber shop don't want to divide
with who does nothing but stand all day shipping
scissors"
All kinds of knowledge should be rewarded; the knowl-
edge that picks out the right shop and the knowledge that
shaves without slaughter the too lazy to shave himself
But of all businesses in the world would seem that the
barber shop business offers itself best to arrangement
based on fair division between capital and labor Divide
earnings fairly and you solve your labor problem which is
the big problem

YOUNG BRIDE GIVES
GOOD ADVICE TO GIRLS.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


In regard to the opinions ex-
pressed by "Everywoman," let me
say she is all wrong. You certainly
get some dark and dreary letters,
don't you? We'll, let me tell you
that here is one reader of your arti-
cles who is keeping to a pleasant
view of life and she has reached
the married stage without jar,
too.
Like "Everywoman," am young.
Twenty, to be exact. l was always
taught that il was not exactly
right to let boys kiss and hug me.
l had lots of boy friends, still have,
in fact. The ones who leave be
cause you won't kiss them are not
worth bothering about. anyway.
My husband, my fiance then, didn't
kiss me until we were engaged. l
know lots of girls will laugh at
that, but, believe me, they appreci-
ate your kisses when they aren't SO
easy to get. OF course, it's permis-
sible to make up for lost time after
you're engaged. I have been mar
ried just a year and have an aw-
fully pretty apartment. l keep
nOuSe III IL, 100. eS, Every oman,
l suppose I'm n slave to my hus-
band. 1 cook his meals and make
his silk shirts. He works for me
and we find our pleasures together.
Why should a girl marry one man
IL she expects to go about with
others? Evorywoman says:
There never was a man yet who
could understand woman" Now,
frankly, wouldn't you hate to have
every Tom, Dick and Harry under
stand your every mood? IL they
love you better than anyone else
In the world and you do the same,
understanding will come.
The girl must show her worth to
gain respect. Let mo say to the
girls of the column: Don't give
any man chance to "havc any
thing on you" II you kiss enc he
passes II on to his chum. And so
on down the line. Don't kiss any
of them, then they'll all have to re-
spect you. It's mighty nice to meet
your boy friends after you are mar
ried and know when you speak to
them that they cannot be thinking
OF how they used to make love to
you. DO right and hold up your
head. There's nothing to equal the
feeling.
HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED.
