ORIGIN OF
BARRIERS
POLE
CouyriRht. 1925, By New YorA
Evening" Journal, Inc.
RAgiktered u. 8. Patent OfficA
"skip, skip to the barber shop,
To buy q stick of candy.
One for you and one for me,
And one for brother Andy"

One for you and one Tor me,
And one for brother Andy"
TUNHIS bit of doggerel, although
l. It Is not founded on fact,
NAV help to explain the origin
Of the BARRIERS striped pole out
side of every barber shop. The
barber shop was notable insti'
tuition in ancient Athens. where
poets and statesmen came to
have their hair cut or boards
curIed and scented with costly
essences. Shaving, itself, was
little known until the time OF
the Macedonian conquest.
In the early Middle Ages bar
bers flourished nightly. They
not only added the tonsorial touch
to the persons Of their patrons,
but extracted teeth and acted as
general surgeons. Hence the
barber shop became a sort of
fashionable lounge for members
of the leisure class. News of the
day was exchanged, magazines
and books were read aloud and
music was furnished gratis.
1t was this encroachment of
the barber upon the provinces
of surgery and dentistry which
led to the long strife between the
members of the latter profess
sions. This was finally settled
through the interference of kings
and councils, and the BARRIERS
were given the privilege Of using
the lancet and drawing teeth.
The regular surgeons, however,
were prohibited from "barbery
or shaving"
The BARRIERS pole, therefore,
reminded the public that the
proprietor of the shop before
which it was placed could
breathe vein" as well as
he could NOW a beard.
The two spiral ribbons painted
around the pole represent the
two long filets or bandages--
one twisted around the arm be-
fore bleeding and the other
used to bind it afterward. Orig
inally. when not in use, the
pole was hung out at the door
as a sign, with a handage wound
around 1t, so that both might be

II D.. ..... . -.
Agreement Is FaIsehood.
BY j. RUSSELL KENNEDY.

By Radio TO The star and Chicago Daily News.
TOXIC. February - 16.-Details
taken from the Berlin Anzeiger al
leging a secret treaty between Rus
STA, Japan and China, have been
Cabled by the Reuter- News Agency
and published throughout Japan, but
are accepted as vicious propaganda
without the slightest foundation"
The denial issued by the Japanese
embassy at Berlin is regarded by
Official circles as amply sufficient.
A high authority said: The treaty
concluded at Picking contains no
secret clauses Beyond constituting
recognition of the Soviet government
for purposes of commercial exchange
and creating a foundation wherein
the peoples of the two countries may
be enabled to trade and travel and
relieving Japan of heavy expense
without any return. which has been
a burden for the last few years the
treaty does not entail any obliga-
tions on Japan or Russia. except to
abide by the articles laid down in 1t
in the best faith. No other treaty
has been considered or negotiated.
The whole publication OF such q
treaty is obviously false because at
present China is in no position to
enter such treaty"

HUMAN VOICE
AROUND WORLD

Predictions are made that the
human voice will soon be heard a
round the world. Except as feat, it
is already heard practically without
terrestrial limit. 1t is physically pos
sible for anybody anywhere to speak
so that anybody anywhere else, can
hear him.
And that means that some rev
rules will have to be applied. When
many persons are assembled in one
room, to communicate with each
other, they have to appoint a chair
man or moderator, and whoever
wishes to speak has to ''get the
floor" The chief function of the
presiding officer, and of the par
iamentary rules under which he
operates, is to see to it that every
body does not speak at once, lest no.
body be heard.
When the world becomes one room
the same condition existsFree speech
has to be curtailed, Only one at a
time, or as many at a time as there
are selective wavelengths, canspeak
and there must be some one to super
wise the order of it.

EDITORIALS

In another month President Cool
idge will "have Congress on his
hands," and there are indications
that he plans to assume that aggres-
sive personal leadership which his
temperament and traditions have
made him reluctant to undertak e.
Let US hope so.
For better or worse. the Roosevelt
precedent, that what Congress does
is chiefly the presidents business,
is still our only refuge from inefi-
cheney and inaction. We may some
day devise a better system, but until
We get it, there is nothing to do but
operate the present one. 49,.
President Coolidge is in an excep-
tionally fortunate position to do so
Even his opponents concede his
popularity with the people. His poll
cies, so far as the people. know and
understand them, have their support
If there are any new and unfamiliar
ones, the confidence of the people
will tend to bring them to follow the
presidents lead.
What they want is for Congress to
do so, too. Only vigorous insistence
by Mr.. Coolidge personally, using the
weapons which his office gives him,
can accomplish that.

FINGER BITTEN
IN COURT FIGHT
Finger Was Amputated at Hos
pital. Was Bit in An Argu-
ment in Court

ATHENS, Ga, Nov. 6.-Lamar
c. Rucker, prominent Athens attor-
ney and former solicitor of the city
court mere, is recovering in a local
hospital from an operation that
caused the loss of the index finger
of his right hand, following an IN
jury received in a fistic alteration
with John B. Gamble, another prom
inent attorney and former solicitor
general of the western circuit.
/ Mr.. Rucker and Mr.. Gamble be-
came engaged in an arugment while
! airing a case before Judge Blanton
Fortson and SO, hot did the words way
| that Mr.. Rucker landed a stiff right
to the jaw of his adversary while the
latter was speaking. In some man
ner the finger in question became
engaged between the teeth of Mr.
Gamble, who held on so that such a
bad wound was inflicted that infec-
ton set in, resulting in the amputa-
ton of the entire finger.
The. two, attorneys were fined for
contempt of court by the Judge.
