Free rides are out. | ” nu o * ANYONE who believes learning to be a barber is easy ought to try it some time, This reporter did, with a one-day attempt to learn everything about the business. There are no short acts to hair cuts. It's an art.

In faet, Walter Pfaller, manager of the International Barber, School, predicts the eventual passing of the barber shop as we know it now. “One of these days,” he says, “you'll dee barber shops set up the same way beauty shops op-| erate now. There'll be individual booths sa the customers, and!
