chances with hair brushes. why should
present and future generations ask for
special favors denied their ancestors?
That seems to be the general attitude Of
those who have rebelled against the new
tangled ideas Of the Barber Board.
= Besides, lather machines have been
known to break down at critical moments.
Will the luckless barber be permitted to
sneak brush from the back room and 20
to work on waiting customer as of yore,
or must the customer forgo his shave?
That is something not covered in the regu-
lations. Undoubtedly the boards rulings
are in accordance with nationally approved
standards and should be enforced. But the
average barber shop patron will see no
difference between having shaving brush
or lathered finger in his mouth. And
loose hairs brushed into a shirt itch Just
as much as those pushed or blown down
the spine by brushless barber.
Evening star., 1947-08-17
Must Borbers Go BrushIess?

It looks as though BARRIERS who have
been clinging tenaciously to their tradi-
tional right to slap lather on their Gus
TONERS with brush will have to go modern
or 60 to court. That unhappy prospect
(for the BARRIERS, not the customers) results
from the decision of the District Barber
Examiners Board to crack down on viola
tors of the revised barber regulations
promulgated nearly year ago.
Under those regulations, local barber
shops are required to do away not, only
with shaving mugs and brushes but hair
and neck brushes as well. Lather- making
machines are now the approved substitute
for the ancient soap, water and badger
hair lather whipper-upper combination.
But many of the city's BARRIERS are reluctant
to give up methods learned in college
methods that have proved unexcelled for
flicking lather in mouth, ear or eye, or
herding clipped hair down the back of
the neck, or transferring ringworm or hair
oil from one customer to another. Genera
tions of barber shop customers have eaten
lather without Ill effects, have put up with
hair down their collars and haYe taken
