from Detroit. She conducted negotia-

of the men and later caused the ar
rest of the gang

By Massachusetts, State
Law, Says u. S. District
Judge
LATTER PERMITS
2.75 PER CENT BEER
Court DISMISSED Case But
Suggested Federal
Prosecution

Lawrence, Mass June 3.--The Vol
stead prohibition act, which permits of
e-half of one per cent alcohol in beer,
is superseded by the Massachusetts,
statute which permits 275 per cent
alcohol in beer, in the courts of this
commonwealth, according to a finding
made by Judge j. j. Mahoney in dis
trict court here to-day.
The decision was made in the case
of James McGurn, charged with H.
legal keeping of liquor. Counsel for
the defense argued that the state law
should apply rather than the federal
law. When a chemist of the state de-
partment of public health testified that
the sample seized at McGurn's place
contained only 25l per cent alcohol,
the court dismissed the case.
In disposing of the case, however,
the court suggested the case be brought
to the attention of the federal author
tiles, and that a conviction might be
procured In the federal court.

A WORD FOR BARRIERS
From the Atlanta Georgian.

From the Atlanta Georgian.
 Not all news is amusing or reassuring. That barber in the east who cut the throat of one of his best customers the other day doesn't make life any happier for the innumerable brave men who go daily to tn ebarbers' chairs.
 The next time many gentlemen hear their barber call ''Nextp' they will shiver little and think of the guillotine of the French revolution. It isn't very nice to reflect, as one lies back in the chair, helpless and at the mercy of the barber's tongue, that one is also at the mercy of the barber's razor-and that at any mo- mef1t some cog may go wrong in the friendly fellows brain and make him mad with rage.
 Of course, if there are any workmen in the world who ought to grow insane with the monot- ony of their task, it is probably the barbers. Every face is different to be sure. Every face has its different little ridges and ravines, its varying textures and comparative stiffness of the beard-that give variety to the barber's daily tasks. But, sadly enough, there isn't any variety to the words and the thoughts that come confidently and confidingly from the lips of the shaved.
 No man is a hero to his barber, but every man is almost certain to think he is.
 A barber must be all things to all men, have many contradictory opinions, agree with thousand varied types of men. He starts his day with clean white mind, clean as the sheets that cover his sleep; he ends the day with Josephs coat, crazy-quilt sort of mind.
 As one barber has said, 'I agree with them all, and never tell anyone exactly what mean"
 It is strange, then, that one barber out of all the hundreds of thousands of barbers in the world should suddenly become blindingly sane--not insane-and take summary revenge on one of the billions of complaent ones who sit in barber chairs and pour out the same endless tales of last nights conquests and to- days defeats?
 If there are any barbers on his jury, that eastern barber will never be found guilty.
