HERE'S THE DOPE FDD BARBERS
Here's a chance for the striking barbers to get more money than they are asking for. The United States army needs good barbers. First class tonsorial artists In the service average $150 a month, according to Recruiting Sergeant William Welch. It costs every man In the army $1 a month for his barber bill, whether he gets but one t.have or fifteen. Tho l covers shaves and hair cuts only. All other work done by the barber costs cxtra. A good tonsorialist draws between $S0 and' $100 a month. Besides this money the barber gets his regular army pay. $30 a month. "Often the barbers make over $150 a month in the service. . He is excused quite frequently from drills and there is no expense whatever. He must only furnish his own tools. This branch of the service has proved an inducement to hundreds of barbers over the country since the outbreak of war, but there is still room for many more," said Sergeant Welch today. A Barber Enlists. Walter Graham, who Faid his home Is in Indianapolis, and that he had Just finished taking a course in a barber school
in Chicago, enlisted today and left for
Fort Wayne.
