OUR MODEL :3AR3ER SHOF
By S. }aryn

The Creenbe1t Barber shop fas now boon
open just two weeks. During this tine most
have rad ample tire to inspect
the shop and prove to Themselves that words
in its praise were no empty ballyhoo.
It can be stated without fear Of
contrad iction that the Greenbelt Bar
Der Shop is truly model barber shop.
Indeed, with the possible exception
Of the Terminal Barber Shops and Wash
ington's Mayflower Hotel barber shop
we fnowof no others like it anywhere
in the country.
The Greenbe1t barber shop, as has
already been noted, derives its excel
lence not only from the beautiful fix
lures but also and espec tally from its
many hygienic features, enc Of which
are: individual terrified and sealed
comb and brush, lather-producing in
strunent. individual gauze p~wdering.
Seeing, is believing; and no one
seeing the Greenbelt barber shop can
possibly deny that it is a superlative
shop. Yet in one respect, it must be
admi tied it 1ags behind other shops--
shops far its Inferior. We allude to
the fact that there is but one barber
in the Greenbolt shop.
TO those accust omed to walk into
barber shop and find a barber at each
chair this situation must be both puzzl-
irc and inks ONE. Irlls ONE must it be
particularly to those who upon entering
the shop for haircut find two or throe
patrons already waiting.
The explanation for this is simple:
the volume Of business at present, des-
pite frequent peaks, does not warrant
the employment Of than one barber.
Just as soon as more citizens move into
hal and no Svoe co1r ~, ~
business warrants it, more BARRIERS will
be added. In fact arrangements are al
ready being made for the cmpl oyaent Of
al additional barber, and it is hoped
that he will be on the job very Don.

Among the people in the
courtroom I noticed a little old
woman quietly sobbing. She
was not among the crowd press
ing forward to shake the young
prosecutors hand, but the look
on her ork-gnarled face made
it almost beautiful, in spite of
the Illustration.
AS the conquering hero left
the courtroom, he gave a little
restrained nod to the old wom-
an, who continued to sit and
wipe away her tears.
SHE STRUGGLED
Later, lunching with a group
Of newspaper women, I was told
that the shabby old woman was
the district attorneys mother.
Foreign born, she could hardly
speak understandable English.
The mother of many children,
she had OWNED with maternal
intuition that this boy was un-
usually gifted, and must have
his chance. Her struggles to
give him an education were
almost unbelievable.
Handing on the torch" was
what she called it, because her
grandfather, in Russia, Poland,
Czechoslovakia, or wherever 1t
was they came from, had been a
leader of his people before he
was assassinated.
She must have known, when
she peddled things at night to
educate this boy, that she was
really cutting the tie which
bound him to her; that his sue
cess in life would put him in a
different world, and make him
ashamed of her funny, uncouth
ways. But she never heSitated.
WORK WELL DONE
To me, sitting in the court
room, she was the real forgot
ten woman. And the tears she
wiped away were Of happiness as
well as loneliness. She had done
her work.
The district attorneys wife,
who went out with the Halle

coat and a spray. of orchids, and
she looked to be a thirty-third-

parlor. Shed never had to peddle
to give her children college edu-
cations.
So many, many letters come
to me from old women like the
one I saw sitting alone in the
courtroom, weeping over her
sons success. Nearly always
they are written by some neigh

women can't write in English.
