 O. Why are barber poles painted red, white and blue? C. E. B.
 A. Formerly barbers performed minor operations in surgery. and when necessary bled their patients. To assist in the operation the patient was required to grasp staff. which was always kept by the barber to- gether with the necessary bandage. When the pole was not in use, the bandage was tied to it and hung at the door as a sign. At length, instead of using the identical pole, another was painted with stripes around it in imitation of the pole and bandage Lord Thurlow in a speech in the house of lords on July 15, 1797, stated that by a statute then Tn force the barbers and surgeons were required to use the pole as a sign and to have the poles striped blue and white an6 a red rag to denote the particular nature of their vocation.
