Some also smoke cigars;
And now they've started on the
pipe,
And smoke to beat the cars. /.
They bob their hair to ape the
men,
And look like hard-boiled eggs;
Not having boards, they shave
their necks,
Their armpits and their legs.
But safety razors are the tools
That do this dirty work;
The straight-edged razor brings
the blood
1t slashes like a dirk.
Thus History shall write its praise
Upon the page of time
A bulwark in defense of man
With loyalty sublime.

Where are the good old days
when you could drift into the barber
shop for shave, shampoo, shine
and haircut, and tell a good one
without having to look around fur
lively and whisper?
In the good old days man
didn't mind having to wait turn
because there was always some live
y banter being banded about, and
he could swap yarns of the brand
not included in the "parlor var
ety."
But "them days are gone for
aver," as Shakespeare didn't say

Recently we made the rounds of
I'll the barber shops in town before
we could find one not cluttered up
with women who wanted to get
their hair bobbed or their necks

If ever men had occasion to con-
tend that "woman's place is in the
home,' it is when he is made to
wait for his shave or hair cut while
mannish females are given prefer.

*s***s
And we can't help but feeling
a fiendish glee that experts have
predicted women will be cursed with
painfully crusty necks from having
them shaved.
The nape of an unbobbed woman's
neck is usually a beauty spot. But
the craze for shaving them like
trough necks" is destroying that
mark of beauty.

When the hair grows out it is as
tough and wiry as hog bristles.
Who wants to kiss neck like that
A woman has just been made
Secretary of State in New York.
One of her first statements was
that she didn't see why women
couldn't run public offices just as
good as men.
But if she can't run her office any
better than lot of male office
holders, she had better quit.

Not one out of every one hun
dred women who come before my
court seeking divorce have red hair"
said Judge John J. Van Nostrand.
of the Superior Court in San Fran
cisco. "And furthermore" he con
tinued, Sin my many years of ex-
perience on the divorce bench | have
seen only three or four red haired
correspondents. Red haired women
make better wives than either their
blonde or brunette sisters"
*%*s*s
We'd like to know what per-
centage of these women had bobbed
hair.
(And incidentally, we fully realize
that all the bob haired women we
know are going to read the riot
act to us for these statements.
They may not actually have red
hair, but they'll be sure to get
red headed.")
We'd like to know what brand of
fire water the makeup man on
the Doylestown Intelhgencer uses.
In recent issue of that paper,
under the heading of GLENDALE
HAPPENINGS" he had, "Mrs.-
was called to the bedside of her
father who is break as it struck
the flipper-flapper."
s*ss*+
That's what we'd call fatal.

The Germans aren't so dumb
after all! A news report says that,
due to the increasing number of
accidents to women getting off the
trolleys backward they have in
stalled mirrors besides the hand
rails SO that women will look into
them and thus be forcer to face in
the right direction as they alight
