BARBER TALK IS HELD

PARIS.-Why BARRIERS talk sc
much--if indeed they do--has new
eXpla ton.
1t is all a matter of high art and
analytical psychology. SO, at least,
say defenders Of the barberinS craft.
How. Monsieur" remarks one,
"can ! dress your hair so as to eX'
press your personality and your char,
acter, if YOU do not talk? How, in
deed. can ] read your soul If you
say nothing? And to learn your
thoughts l must talk to make you

Thus, in a highf1own mixture or
mental science and tOnsorial art. Is
the traditional talkativeness of the
barber placed we'll up in the scale
of professional accomplishments.
Handling the marcelle irons. trim
ming an artistic bob. and even giving
an ordinary man a good close shave,
say the BARRIERS, are only the equip
mcnt Of journeyman. The real art
of the game, the trick Of drawing
out the victim, searching his soul for
it's true identity. is the mark OF the
artist. the master Coiffeur.

PERVERTED SENSE OF HUMOR
(Bisbee Review


The sense of humor and patriotism
of some American people is difficult
to understand. No doubt the dozen or
two California persons who voted for
Aimee Mcpherson, Andy Gump and
Charles Chaplin for various offices
in the last general election in Novem-
Der thought they were actually funny.
Many of them, probably, boasted of
the "joke" they played, to their
friends. We wonder if they realized
that they were throwing away some
thing that their forefathers fought
and bled to obtain. 1t is bad enough
to remain away from the polls on
election day, but far worse to make a
joke of the election by marking in the
names of an evangelist who is in
trouble, slap-stick comedian and an
imaginary person of comic strip fame.
1t would have served right those with
the perverted sense Of humor if the
evangelist had been elected attorney
general or governor. They would not
have laughed when a reformer got
under full sail in a powerful office.
We doubt very much if people living
under the rule of an absolute mon
archy would have wasted a vote on
a film clown or an evangelist who is
under suspicion.

A CAREFREE LOT
(El Paso Herald)

Arizona employers must be a care
free lot. The state compensation Law
is so considerate of them.
1t is noted that an employe went
to sleep at the wheel of his employ
er's car. The car was wrecked, he
was killed, and his widow made claim
under the compensation law. She re-
ceived the award.
Another employe got splinters in
his hands while shoveling sand in a
bin. His hands became infected and
he sued. The state supreme court
has just sustained verdict in his be-
half.
The Phoenix country club was sued
by laborer who got sand in his eye
while working on the golf course.
There is no information at hand on
the outcome of that case, or whether
the verdict has been rendered. 1t is
a fair guess he will collect.
Is there any sort of mishap for
which an Arizona employer cannot
be made to pay?

PRINTERS INK WILL DO 1T

A concerted effort will be made by the cham
bers of commerce of the state at the approaching
session of the legislature to provide ways and
means for concerted and consisted effort to adj
vertise the resources and opportunities awaiting
the investor and homeseeker in Arizona.
AS general proposition the plan has merit.
Within the boundaries of Arizona are unlimited
resources awaiting the touch of capital and the
new reclamation projects under way will provide
for thousands of homeseekers and small farmers.
The main objective of such an advertising cam
paign is to increase our population and taxable
wealth and concident with such increases will
come decrease in state and county taxes. Wild
west magazine stories have created the picture of
Arizona in the mind of non-residents as a. land of
cactus, sage brush, cowboys and Indians. 1t is
time this picture was painted out and in it's place
created vision of the Arizona of today-its min
ing power, agricultural, horticultural and live
stock industries. Printers ink will do it.-Gra-

KINGMAN WANTS CITY

With the coming of the new year,
Kingman business men and taxpayers

alton the town would be greatly ben
Gifted. 1t is a necessity that anyone
with the future growth of the town
and its business interests at heart
should readily perceive. The getting
together of the people in this matter
would bring about better relations, es-
pecially in the matter of sidewalks,
better schools, waterworks, better
lighting system, development Of the
high school and the building of a dor
mitory, putting the town in the hands
of people with its best interests at
heart and the forwarding of every
county interest, this all coming
