You know, in this changing

things that remain steadfast.
The drugstore sandwich is one.
The first drugstore sandwich
ever TO be made is exactly like
the one you get today. Dry,
thin, tasteless, costing 10 TO ID
cents and not worth it. Science
has never touched drugstore
sandwiches.
Neither has il touched bar
bers and their manner Of giving
haircuts.
The first time I ever got
haircut and the same must
be true OF all men, i sat on
plank across the arms OF
the barber chair. That hap
pened TO me In Rochelle,
Georgia, and most OF the hair
that was cut off my head
went down my back and
itched.

hair that was removed went

me into thinking that not a
hair would get below my coll
lar.
The. last barber did the same.
The first barber, after h6
had operated on me for a few
minutes, spun the chair, aimed
me toward the mirror and said,
"How does that look: Suit
you, SON."
The only difference yester-
day was that the barber called
me Sir instead of "Son."
Why does barber ask you il
what he has done suits you?
Can anything change il? Does
he plan TO replace the hair he
has shipped off and start over?
WEARS ago, at the conclu-
Il sion of my first haircut,
the barber doused me with
evil scented lotions and potions
and busted me with powder
that made me look like a ghost
and smell worse. So did the
barber of yesterday.
The fact that l told him 1
didn't want to leave his place
smelling like a badly kept rock
garden did no good. He whacked
me with lilac, smacked me with
wisteria and whisked me with
genuine imitation carnation and
respectfully stood by for his
tip.

YOUR
HEALTH

THE condition Of eyestraln Is
Il of such Importance that all
of US may well give it consider
alton. In the. prevention of eye
strain. proper lighting is impor-
tant. Manufacturers IN industry
realize that the efficiency OF all
their employees Is greater when
lighting is adequate In schools,
it is particularly important that
sufficient lighting of the right
kind be maintained.
In recent years there have
been many new developments in
methods OF lighting. one of
these is flHoresceRt lighting.
Many persons have the mistaken
notion that such lighting may
possess harmful qualities not
found in other forms of artifi-
cial lighting or in daylight.
HOWEVER. a careful study
III has been made of the mat
ter by a committee Of experts,
and they have arrived at cer-
tam definite conclusions. Any
type of lighting which gives of
an excessive amount OF ultra
violet rays may be injurious to
the eyes. II has been found
that the ultraviolet energy in
clear summer skylight is three
10 four times as much as comes
from ffuoreScent lights
II has been found also that
light from ffuorescent lamps re-
Sembles daylight more closely
than that from other types Of
electric light bulbs. This color
resemblance 10 daylight is de-
srable quality. 1t has also been
found that fluoreScent light gen.
crates less heat than that from
other types of lamps.
NO MATTER what system Of
~ lighting is employed. a cer-
tain amount of glare may occur.
This glare can be overcome in
various ways, but IL is no
greater with fuorescent lights
than with other types. Light is
measured in a unit known as a
foot candle. which is the amount
of light produced by standard
candle at a distance of one foot.
II has been found that 20 foot
candles OF light are needed for
