HINDU BARBER A MAN OF PARTS.

Now that the price for haircutting
has risen, which means that possibly
the barber will not be so busy in the
future, perhaps we shall find him
eventually emulating the Hindu hair
cutter.
The latter is an individual of i'm
mense Importance in India, and as his
duties are many, he is in constant de-
mand. At birth the Hindu barber is
the man employed to carry the vent
full news to the various family rela-
tives, while at funeral he shaves
the heads of the living-and the dead.
The Hindu haircutter has no shop,
and, unlike our BARRIERS, he displays
ne poles, signs or symbols. He can
be see nstolling along near the ba-
zaars, with small bundle under his
arm or carrying little bag. At all
religious rites he is to be observed ;
he bores the girls ears and noses for
the various rings which are worn;
will undertake almost any surgical
operation.
Besides birth and deaths, he at
tends marriages. At a wedding, we
are told, this busy barber is "best
man."
The touch of this handy man, by
the way, is exceptionally light, and II
is said that he can shave his custom
ers while they sleep.-Answers Lon

ence on the men and women, who re-
manned behind. From the humblest work
man to the highest paid executive in the
Edison organization, everyone seemed de-
termined ito make good, while the Old
Man was away" Vacations were passed
up and doctors orders were ignored by
Jealous employees, and, as result, the
Edison Manufacturing Laboratories were
one OF the few manufacturing CONCERNS in
the United States, where there was no loss
of efficiency durin gthe war, and where
there was in fact, an increase in efficiency
During the war, Mr.. Edison spent most
of his time on the sea coast or at sea. On
those rare occasions, when he visited the
Edison Laboratories, it was difficult to
gain his attention, for more than a few
minutes, with reference to business mat
ters. He did, however, state that the Edi-
son monograph was his pet invention and
he hoped that his business associates
would be able, in some way or other to
avoid any increase in price, and that, if
there must be an increase, he wanted such
increase to be just as small as it could pos
,sibly be made. Mr.. Edison said II am
willing to stand the gait. Music is an i'm
portant thing. Let us make it as easy as
possible for people to have music in their
homes in these nerve-racking days."
What was the result? The wonderful
realism Of the New Edison, "The Phono-
graph with Soul, made it desired above
all other monographs, and its sale was
stimulated by the fact that the increase in
iprice was negligible. The demand soon far
out-stripped the supply. Overhead and
Isales expense were reduced to the mini
mum and thanks to Mr.. Edison s willing
ness to absorb large share of the in
creased cost of manufacture, it was posi-
'ble for the Edison Laboratories, by ac-
cepting a merely nominal profit, to avoid
any substantial increase in the selling
price of the Edison Photograph.
1t twill be many years before the general
level Of commodity prices is as low as the
present price of the Edison monograph.
Leading bankers have expressed them
selves as willing to lend money on Edison
Photographs, because they know the sell
ing prices of Edison Photographs are not
going to be reduced.
Let us reiterate that when you buy an
Edison monograph today you buy be-
Ore-the-war value with an after-the-war
dollar. If you have any fear that there
may be reduction in the prices of Edison
Photographs, we are prepared to give you
full assurance on that point.

Edison Uds Right Agdin

The prices of Edison monographs have
increased less than 151o since 1914, and az
substantial part of this increase is the. So
tax, which the Edison Laboratories pay to
the Government.
The Edison Photograph of today is
better photograph and better value
than the Edison Photograph of 1914. On
the other hand, the dollar of today is.
worth, in purchasing power, only a little
more than half as much as the dollar of
1914. Therefore, if you buy an Edison
Photograph at this time, you are virtual
ly buying before he-war value, with an
after-the-war dollar.
Why was it that Edison did not in
crease his price and how did he avoid the
necessity of doing 500 Any commercial
agency and practically any investment
banker can acertain for you that the Edi-
son monograph Laboratories were doing
business, in 1914, on a narrower margin of
profit than was true of any of the other
established monograph or talking ma
chine, manufacturers How, then, did Ed
son manage to avoid an increase in his
selling prices9
The story is dramatically interesting
The following is only the essence of it:
When the United States of America en-
tered the Great War, Mr.. Edison dropped
all his work at the Edison Laboratories
and enlisted in the army of American men
of science, who pitted themselves so sue
cesfully against the world-famed German
scientists. Cardinal Mercier on his recent
visit to America, credited Mr. Edison
with large share in winning the war for
the Allies. The New York American of
September 9Th describes. at length, some
of the inventions which Mr.. Edison devel-
oped and placed at the disposal of the
Government. In this article, the New
York American states that Mr.. Edison APP
pears to have been the moving spirit of
the Naval Consulting Board of the United
States.
When Mr.. Edison gave up his own bust
ness for the business of the Nation, very
critical situation existed in his Manufac-
turing laboratories, due to their inability
to obtain various materials, and the ne
cessity of finding satisfactory substitutes
for such materials. If there was ever
time in Mr.. Edison s caree, when his per-
sonal attention to his business was re-
quired, it was when he went to war;
Thomas A. Edison had reason to believe
that he was rishing enormous losses, by
deserving his business at the particular
time in question, but he did not hesitate
and his example had a remarkable infu-
