THE VARSITY RACE

The other day We read somewhere
that a rowing race furnishes the
most terrible exertion extant, next to
fisticuffs.
The article wen> on to say that
those who participate in such rowing
races stand grand chance of in
juring their hearts. Some have done
IT.
All the same. the annual Harvard
Yale classic on the Thames loses
nothing in popularity on this ac-
count. 1t takes place tomorrow and
if the weather Is what the budding
adolescent shakeepeares call PRO
pitious' there will be the usual sue
cessful outpouring OF frenzied fans,
with the customary successful
parties after the event is over.
The sporting editor doesn't hap
pen to be in, so we cannot add any
thing wisecracking regarding last
years winner or the year before, no,
can we mention the totals OF wins
for Yale since the classic started II
will be a grand race, all the same

THE TEXAS LYNCHING

While Houston has been preparing
for the Democratic convention an
ugly occurrence has raised its head,
the lynching Of Negro by men who
seized him from a hospital cot.
The Texans who were responsible
for this occurrence doubtless regard
themselves as having taken fitting
revenge upon man whom they felt
deserved summary punishment. They
did not pause to reflect that every
person is entitled to trial. Actuated
by primitive instincts they by their
deed themselves have committed a
hcinous crime and have thrown a
blot upon the fair name Of their
city.

AIR CASUALTIES

Conqucring the air continues to
.Nact its toll OF human life, Tho
record Of 1927 was 200 air
casualties in the United States; the
loss Of lives totalled 1914. There is
reason to believe. however, that the
record is not complete. OF this num-
her only II casualties occurred with
licensed planes. and only 20 pas
scngers were killed in such planes
Comparative safety in the air is
possible with licensed and skilled
pilots operating modern planes. All
planes operated are not modern.

months ago when Governor Trum

HARHERS AND THEIR HOURS


There are two angles of approach
TO the question Of when barber shops
should be closed and when they
should be open. The one has it that
BARRIERS should not be serving the
people at all times or at unreason-
able hours. The other is that the
longer the shops are open. from
early morning until evening, the
more income there is for the BARRIERS.
Which is right is for the BARRIERS
Themselves to determine. and so far
as the present is concerned, the out
look appears to be that they will
not close Wednesday afternoons. The
fact, however. that the matter was
brought up for discussion indicates
thought is given to it. Eventually,
some years from now, some progress
may be made in that direction.
Barbering in this city-if not in
all others--is a highly competitive
business There are perhaps more
barber shops than the extent Of the
trade would warrant. Most shop
owners are certain that if they close
down OF weekday afternoon COM
/ pttitors who do not close will get the
afternoons trade. No doubt they are
right; only concerted action by all
can prevent possible loss of trade.
The BARRIERS are in the same posi-
ton as the grocery trade. Discussion
WAS rife few years ago regarding
Sunday closing. Some refused to
= close on The holy day, causing others
groceries aplenty which close on sum
day and ii does not appear that their
proprietors are sorry over il. They
have the satisfaction of enjoying u
days rest and feel they need it.
Most OF US remember the days
when barber shops were open most
of Sunday. Indeed, the best barber
ing time OF the week seemed to be
Sunday morning. Men who never
missed church had no compunctions
about forcing their friends the
BARRIERS from staying away from
church. Progress has attended the
trade in this respect, and today only
Il few BARRIERS care enough about
work ana money TO remain open at
that time. Customers discovered
long ago that il isn't really necessary
to wait until sunday morning for a
shave ana haircut: that this can be
accomplished Just as readily a day
ahead

The citizenship of the towns at

Britain would gain from the posi-
bility OF having the participation OF
It's leaders in civic affairs. In business
affairs many of them already are

THE COST OF FILTRATION

The MAYORS belief that the cost of
a filtration plant as planned for TINS
city i. more than his bent for
economy will allow comes rather
suddenly. We gather that the mayor
has been gumshoeing around and has
discovered that there are various
types OF filtration plants, that some
arc much more powerful than others,
and that it is possible, if extreme
care is not exercised. to get lesser
plant for what a more efficient plant
would cost. Buitressed with this in
formation. the mayor has let it be
known that the time to investigate
Is not past.
When the Common Council met last
night it was confronted with THE
angle for the first time. No one here
tofore had doubted that the plan un-
der discussion by the water board
was not the best at hand.
Fortunately the mayor did not OBJ
i,ct to the authorization of bonds as
Il preliminary toward getting started
with the work. II will be remember
ed that the mayor. upon taking office
suggested that the water extension
work be started as soon as possible
so as 10 help alleviate unemployment
The mayor apparently las not
changed front on this score, but ha:
come to the conclusion that better
1,lan could he devised.
