SUNDAY BARBERING

There is TO be no public barbering in New
York state Sunday There has been none IN theory,
outside of New York City and Saratoga Springs. Now
those exceptions abolished.
From time immemorial" says Gov. Smith.
in signing the bill, Sunday has been set aside by
law day of religious worship. and by COM
mon practice has become day of recreation,
provided the forms of recreation indulged in do
not interfere with the exercise of religious
duties Accordingly all work has been by law
suspended that day unless it can be shown
that the work is Of necessity.
1t is not necessary, he decides, to keep BARRIERS
working Sunday, and so they should have the op-
portunlty for religious observance and the rest and
recreation that Sunday affords.
That is logical we'll as humane. A wide appllca-
ton of the principle would give needed leisure to
thousands of men and in many lines of work,
and impose great hardship on the public. With
few exceptions, the work done and the wages paid on
Sunday might easily be distributed through the rest
Sabbath for everybody.

ANCIENT SCIENCE

Professor Breasted, Egyptol0gist Of the UniVers-
ity of Chicago finds that good many OF the medical
and surgical discoveries by modern scholars
were known to the ancient Egyptions We have been
merely learning for ourselves what Egypt forgot
thousands of years ago.
He is engaged in translating a surgical treatise
written by some unknown Egyptian in the 18th cen
tury before Christ which he says will be epochnak
ing in the field Of modern medicine" and which shows
that the ancients had real knowledge Of anatomy,
and ability to observe that is absolutely unparalleled
One OF the things they knew in those days, long
before Greece and Rome were civilized, and when
Europe and America were hoWling widernesses, was
the ocaliZation OF brain functions which has been
only recently discovered by our physicians"
Once in while it is good for this proud modern
civilization to be humbled b. the revelations OF a
venerable antiquity.

REPORT ON TRAFFIC
Representative Gibson Says
They Criticize Own Admin
istration on BIanton Bill.

Discussing the adverse report of
The District Commissioners on the
Blanton bill 10 give the traffic direc-
tor here more power, Representative
Gibson of Vermont declared at meet
ing the House District committee to-
day that the District Commissioners
criticism of the measure lis only a
criticism of their own administration.
Mr. Gibson discussed the traffic
question and an article printed in
morning newspapers which said that
the Commissioners had rebuked the
trrfffie director
I'VE tried last Congress to get a
real trafic bill" Mr.. Gibson said. We
wanted to lodge authority where it
ought to be lodged 10 get traffic re-
forms. I take exception when the
law does not lodge authority in the
traffic director and only makes him a
messenger boy for the Commissioners
when they criticize the traffic director.
Their criticism is only q criticism of
their own administration"
Mr.. Keller contended that the traffic
director should be under police au-
thority. Mr.. Hammer also expressed
tne same CONVICTION. MIR. Gibson said
he was tired of hearing the argument
frequently advanced that the District
commissioners ought to act as nurse
for every department of government.
8 The Commissioners considered the
Blanton bill providing for the amend
ment of the District traffic act yes
terdav afternoon, and urged that the
measure be stripped of its chief pro-
posals as well as a number of minor
provisions.
The principal provisions they want
extracted completely proposed 70 in

sioners also took the opportunity to
comment on the charges of Director

regulations. \ paragraph in a report
