was so fond of the place. he could not
I resist the temptation to do so. He had
read the circular over carefully. and
said he thought he-might have been
going to a funeral. but as he looked in
the faces of so many active young men

EXTRA CHARGE BV BARBERB.
An Officer of the Association Explains
What It Proposes to do.
Members of the Barbers' Union be-
lieve that the article yesterday was
misleading. and an officer informed the
Sentinel today that the object of the
live cents extra charge is to place
the business back where it was some
time ago, and have It on a paying basis.
It has been the custom for harbors
starting a shop to cater to trade by
giving a customer many little extras
without making any charge. and in this
way customers have been educated to
go to other shops and ask for them.
It is now proposed to give good
shaves for the price charged. but if
a customer desires to have his morta-
tache attended to or neck shaved. be
will be expected to pay tive cents ex-
tra for them.
The monthly customers will be done
away with as harbors charge different,
prices for doing the some amount of
work and a Journeyman barber Young:
a n
credited with the work done on the
monthly customers. In making up the
scale of prices it. was found that It
would not be right to charge a man
who has been paying 82 a month on ad-
ditional dollar a month or cut down a
barber who had been receiving 33 to
$2 to confirm to another shop' s price.
Customers wishing to be shaved for ten
cents can be served as formerly The

Rev. Mr. I-‘Ix then began his lecture.
He dwelt upon the fact that If one part
of a community In bad, the rest of the
community must suffer with it, and
the lows of self preservation demand
that the slums be cleansed. He show-
ed a map of New York, which gave the
districts which are known as the
slums. Mr. Fox has been engaged in
' this work for the past twelve years and
is thoroughly acquainted with it In all
its phases. He stated that. gathered

are coming in the rate of 1.000.000 per
year, mount them stoying in the con-

speaker, is a foreign city set down up-

that by 1920 there will be 8,000,000
people gathered around the mouth of

out briefly the tremendous work which
must be done by the churches to make
this vast mass of people moral and law
. abiding citizens of this country. He
stated that his church and settlement
is in the worst part of the slums and
that anarchy is rampant not far from
