BARBER—SH.OPS— AWESOME
. Superior Beings Who Condeocend to
Shave Us
\‘ew York Evening Post:
To patronize barber’s shops is a try-
ing affair. ‘ 1\iothing but a crying need
of services tained there can drive
one who knows from well into one of
them. When you enter a barber shop.
a long row of barber‘s chairs, like a
line of guns down the deck of a man-
o‘-war, strttchin'g away in perspective,
confronts you. There barbers, say,
are engaged with patrons; and they
0 calmly on. The rest have been
enjoying newspapers and leisure. You
interrupt them;1 and they spring, as
one man,‘ each to the head of hi
chair, and stand at attention To
find such a company of welldfed well-
groomed, better men than you are
suddenly at your service in disturb-
ingl. to have to Insult all the others
in Your selection of one is an uncom-
fortable thought. They are all equally
sible for them all to shave you; you
around and go out. You choose the
nearest man, as the only solution;
and the others show their displehcuro‘
by returning to their seats. A fiend

tag you.
He forces you to confess there be—
fore his “gang" that you do not want
anything but a shave. You have
brought this man 1from.his newspaper
simply to shave youl Now the num-
ber of things the barber manages to do
to you against your desire is a measure
of the resistant force of your character.
You deny that you need a shampoo.
There is no denying that your hair is
falling out. There is no denying that
you sometimes shave yourself. You
need try to conceal nothing from this
man. . He sees quite through you. (You
recall a. certain Roundabout Paper).
He has found you out! All you ask
is to .be allowed to go. He washes
your face for you and turns you out
of the chair. You pass into the hands
of a boy. the same boy you denied to
polish your shoes, 9. boy that has his
opinions, who .plays the tune of
”Yankee Doodle” on you with a whisk-
broom very much as if be snapped his
fingers in yorir face; and—you may go.

For a long time these boys bavo

and Stewart ho:- had a wireless out-

monthl. Thou boys conceived the
idea that it would be both Inotructivo}
and interesting to provide their school
with this apparatus. and after consid-
erable argument induced their prin-
cipal and the Detroit school board
authorities to permit the installation.
Not only did these boys out in the
apparatus but they made in the
manual training department of the
school all of the woodwork which
the wireless requires. Harry declare.
that they hays caught messages from
Cleveland and Toledo and that the
school apparatus has a capacity of
sending over seventy miles.
