BARBER BEARS TRADE NAME
Word Describing His Occupation De-
olared One of the curoslties OF
the Language.

Our friend the barber bears q trade
name, or a name Of occupation which
Is related to barbed-wire, barbarian,
Barbary coast and Barbados. 1t Is also
related to "barbet" which was an old
name for q poodle dog, and it Is also
related to ''barbette," over which big
guns are fired. It is one Of the curiosi-
ties OF our language.
Some Of these words have come into
the English language from the French
and others from the Spanish, but they
all 60 back to the Latin word, 'barba,"
which meant beard" The French got
the word from their Roman conQuerors
and civilizers and made 1t over into
''barbe" and when a man shaved him
