But Brooklyn Male Bipeds

Dollar hair-cuts are extremely un-
likely In Wilmington for moons 10

severel BARRIERS today. In fact dollar
halr-cuts may bo said at present to
have "low visibility" in this section
while over in Brooklyn they are high"
In Brooklyn. starting tomorrow,

trimmed-that Is tonsorlslly. Some
Of the prospective hi-ped victims al
ready are ungrateful enough, however,
TO intimate the trimming will be OF a
most inclusive order. They further are
mean enough to have begun decipher-
ing such a trifing arithmetical problem
as: II ten cents was the proper tip for
a quarter haircut, and twenty cents for
a fifty, how much should the tip be for
q dollar trimf
Most Of the BARRIERS in Wilmington
who were preached today on the proper
price for haircut took a gloomy view.
Some were. fairly funereal. Many Of the
shops already are charging q half dol

mise on 30 cents But a dollarl All,

how Pennetto had to close up his shop
