WOMEN LOVE
TOBE FOOLED
BYBARBERS
Men Doll Up Shops, Cali
Selves Artists and
Get Rich.
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Women lend themselves 20 the
most palpable hokum. They seem to
take a particular delight in having
somebody lift their money.
Perhaps nothing has offered so
much proof of this fact as the
present bobbed hair craze. In every
city in the land there are astute
men, who have reaped a veritable
harvest of gold by helping the
women of the community to put UP
front" They start their little
campaigns about high art and con-
situations and special appointments
and as a result are stepping out in
the millionaire class. The latest
wrinkle in this line are the all-night
beauty shops which have lately been
opened in New York. We may short
ly expect to see them in Iowa and
Arkansas.
An ordinary barber takes a six
weeks course in the new hair trim
ming. Then he dolls himself up and
fixes up an office with a lot of ex-
tension telephones and velvet up
holstery and is presently able to
charge a. dollar for the same work
that the man at the corner shop
could do as we'll for 40 cents. 1t is
the women who pay for all of these
extra trimmings.
They like to think they are ex
elusive and are ready to pay almost
any price for the privilege of going
to what they think is the most select
shop. If they happen to meet the
local bank presidents wife there, so
much the happier.
The fact that they do not get any
better service, really, than they
would find in a cheaper and palmer
establishment does not make any i'm
preston on their brains. They are
out to be fleecediand they enjoy the
procedure.
Sometimes it looks as if this new
beauty cult were making terrible
fools out Of us. The masseuse, can
talk us out of anything and as for
the soft-stepping barber, we listen tc
his word like the Greeks once
listened to the Delphic oracle.
The men have been having their
hair cut now for several hundreds
of years, and they have managed to
keep it up and look very well by
patronizing the neighborhood barber
shop, where they pay a conservative
price for the work. You wouldn't
catch them putting up with any
such hi-jacking as the women stand
This thing of being patronized by
an illiterate barber, who has fat.
tened on our vanity. and who calls
himself an artist" is a bit too
much.

The speaker was a gentle-voiced

Mrs. Hiatt is the mother OF the
little children who, for two months,
lived In one room Of the house on

the children had gone barefooted all

OBEY TRAFFIC LAW;
PREVENT ACCIDENTS

Left turns, wrongly made, are
probably the cause of more minor
accidents and traffic congestion than
any other traffic error. A sweeping
turn to the right before turning left
causes both confusion and congestion
and leads to accidents. Failure to
signal before turning left also leads
TO accidents.
Turning left is safe and simple if
the rule in the state law is followed.
1t requires a driver intending to turn
left, to approach the intersection in
the lane Immediately to the right of
the center of the roadway. He must
give a signal by extending the left
arm, or by some other device plainly
visible to drivers in the rear. Having
signalled, other vehicles going in the
same direction may pass him on the
right, legally, safely and without de-
lay.
A driver turning left must give
way to vehicles coming in the oppo-
site direction, if they have already en-
tered the intersection, but under the
new state law driver who is within
the intersection and has signalled
left turn, has the right of way over
vehicles which have not entered the
intersection.
"No person shall stand in the ira
yelled portion of roadway for the
purpose of or while soliciting ride
from the driver of any vehicle other
than a common carrier" the state
law says.
The common practice of standing in
the street or road begging for rides
results in two types of accidents.
Often the ride beggers are hit. At
other times the driver, turning out to
avoid hitting the ride begger, col
lides with another vehicle.
The law does not prohibit standing
outside the travelled roadway and
tagging for rides, but drivers are
more and more refusing to stop for
ride beggars. While most motorists
are glad to give lift to deserving
people, there is a certain risk in pick
ing up strangers. Many are just
cumming their way" and occasional
ly the stranger may turn out to be a
criminal.
mo person shall ride in or jump
into or upon any vehicle without the
consent of the driver.
"No person shall hitch a toboggan,
hand sled, bicycle or similar vehicle
onto any motor vehicle"
The boys and girls who may feel
most aggrieved at these paragraphs
in the new Minnesota traffic law are
in reality the chief beneficiaries. Pre-
vention of the accidents which happen
all too frequently when youngsters
''hitch" to moving vehicles, was the
main purpose of putting new restric-
tions in the law. Saving drivers from
the annoyance of 'shitchers" was a
minor motive.
"Hitching" was "a harmless sport
when there were only horse drawn
vehicles. Hitching on or behind fast
moving automobiles or trucks is a
very dangerous practice. Even jump
ing on or into sleigh or wagon is
dangerous, for if you fall off, you
may get hit by an automobile.
