was a great deal of divided opinion on
this point.
One of the firm of Cassatt & Co.
said he had heard the point raised, but
there Is nothing to It.
No one. he added, would for a
moment think that Kuhn, Loeb &

would slip up on such an important
point. No, he continued. the matter
came up and was threshed out, and
there is a law In Pennsylvania which
permits railroads to issue securities
yielding more than 6 per cent.
AT the same time he commented on
the unqualified success of the sale of the
bonds. The staff, he said, had been
worked to death taking orders all

strange to say, what he regarded as the

It looks as though Allan A. Ryan is
to be ostracized for his actions In
Stutz. Some leading brokerage houses
IN this city, following the lead OF their
New York correspondent houses, are
advising their clients that they prefer

said to be Ryan stocks: Stutz Motor,

There was no reason given for the
above move, and It is doubtful IL any
will be given under the circumstances.

EVOLUTION OF THE BARBER

The spirit of modern hustle invades
even the barber shop, once regarded
as a ple2 SAINT center OF neigfborhood
gossip and leisurely conversation.
1t is characteristic of these rapid
times that they are holding speed con-
tests in barbering. One noted cham
pion at Boston the other day shaved
man and cut his hair in six minutes,
Is seconds. And the occupant of the
chair was not reported to have carried
away scratch
The old time shop never considered
human time as valuable The shears
artist sought to make his place at
tractive by his pleasant talk. BARRIERS
with a reputation as conversational
lists were places OF resort for many
miles around.
The old fashioned barber cherished
the title "tonsorial artist somewhat
seriously. Following his ideals OF
masculine beauty he would plaster
a mans forelock in a sweeping curve
nearly down to the eyes. Thus adorn
ed the town Adonis would go forth in
some glory for his contests.
The modern barber does not depend
for business on his personal charm
The speed some OF the furze clippers
show on Saturday night might APP
preach the record quoted above. A
clean, shiny shop and prompt service
are what count now.

the building. Damage nominal, in fact
