BOLSHEVIKI STYLES FORESEEN; BARBER PRICES DISCOURAGE

Will civilization return to the stone Rge as a result of the increase in the price of hair cuts to 50 cents? These are the question now being askfed since Richmond barber shops have found It necessary to chalk up a new fccale. Now the pessimists are discussing the possibility of seeing men on the streets with long, heavy beards, great bunches of flowing hair, and other hirsute adornments common to the men of the stone age. The Beau Brummels of the dance halls and pool rooms who take such pride in appearing with faces smooth, and colored, through the application of barbers' cosmetics, may stay at home evenings now and read or play cards and checkers, and engage in other indoor sports such as father did years ago. No Cheek Rubbing. Just what affect a stubble-haired face will have among the younger pet who are inclined to amorousness Is deeply problematical; but it is a cinch there will be no cheek rubbing at dance halls if the swain refuses to pay the big increase in "face dressing" that barbers have decided on. If men wear beards again there will he a demand for a different style of linen collars, and the old bib-style fhirts may come back from the dust covered caves of the past, and may be shown on the dance floors again. There is a possibility that the young man of today may come to know at last some of the difficulties that his father experienced not so many years ago, when ho was a youth. And perhaps the swain who visits a certain lady every so often each week will cut down the number of visits and will sit at home and pout over the failure of the barbers to appreciate the fact that there is just 6 little Joy left in life. Barbers Insistent. But barbers feel differently about It. They say they simply must have higher prices or close the doors of their long established businesses. While they may lose some customers in the way of nightly shaves and hair tonic applications, tho barbers will give tho questioner a knowing f mile and assert that the razor honing business will quadruple itself. It is expected that there will be an unusually active scurry on the part of many persons for stores selling safety razors. Less than a dozen years ago, shaves were but a thin dime per scrape and hair cutting set one back 20 cents. Cold water and alum and pomade were the only articles on the back biir in those days. Hair tonics, massage cream, styptic penci'j, electric vibrators, tapers, sterelized tools and like comforts cost money and the barbers say if the public wants these conveniences the public must pay for them.

Census Statistics

WASHINGTON, March 15. Population statistics for 1920, issued by the census bureau Include: Lancaster, Pa., 53,150, an increase of 5,923, or 12.5 per cent over 1910. Knoxville, Tenn., 77,818, an increase of 41,472, or 114.1 per cent. The great increase in the population of Knoxville, the largest of any city for which figures have been announced, was so surprising to census bureau officials that an investigation was made. Annexation of additional territory by the city and industrial expansion, was found to be largely responsible for the doubling of the city's population. FAITH FEEDS A PEARL.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

A LITTLE school girl shouted with delight as she came running home: "Mother, the teacher told us about a man today, and he had a little hatchet, and his name was George I" Later in the year, she burst In again, full of a further discovery: "Mother, teacher told us about another man today, and he had an axe, and he was called Abe!" Character, patriotism, the great unheard-of past had been Introduced to that child, as to generations of American children, In simple pictures that flashed upon her mind like motion films thrown upon a screen. The useful, instructive myth of Washington's little hatchet Is scorned by many writers who spare the more misleading myth that ho was born with a gold spoon in his mouth. Washington was made of the same clay as most Americans who have won high leadership and, like them, he cut his teeth on the crust of poverty. Only four or five of our Presidents came from poorer home3 than our first President and he had less schooling than four-fifths of his suc-

cessors. He was, in fact, the only President in the first forty years who was without a college education. Not starting to school until eight, he had to leave at fourteen to go to work. Thenceforth until the Revolution the woods and fields were his only school room and life his only schoolmaster. A bad speller and a worse grammarian, his English rapidly improved in contact with the educated men whom he commanded by the superiority of his character. His generals and his statesmen became his teachers. We never can truly understand this man if we start with the mistaken idea that he was the product of wealth and aristocracy. His people really were only a plain, though always highly respectable family, living on

the outskirts of the cavalier caste which set up its manors In the James River region. The greatest of Virginians made no ancestral boast, his great-grandfather having come out from England in the modest capacity of mate on a trading vessel. Mt. Vernon came into the family as part of the land granted to Washington in reward for his services in transporting from English jails and almshouses one hundred indentured servants. George's own father, who at one time had been a sailing captain in the trade with the mother country, left his wife and children at his death five thousand acres of land, more or less unproductive; twenty-two slaves, a slender purse and a lean larder. As only a younger son and the child of a second wife, George received but

a small share of a modest estate. Being dependent on the bounty of his half-brother, he passed to and fro between them as a poor relation and

grew up mostly in their homes. While at Mt. Vernon, which his oldest brother, Lawrence, had Inherited, he learned the simple rudiments of

surveying, and Lord Fairfax, who lived nearby, employed him to survey a vast estate in the Valley of Virginia. With that commission in hand, the sixteen-year-old boy rode away over the Blue Ridge and out into the wild West of that time, where he passed the next three years on the savage frontier of America. Blazing paths in an almost trackless wilderness, the tall, lean, blueeyed young frontiersman built his fire at the end of the toilsome day, cooked his supper on forked sticks and ate it off chips in place of plates. Without seeing a bed for weeks at a time, he wrapped himself in his bearskin

against the cold night and slept In his clothes on the hard ground, "like a Parcel of Dogs or Cats," as be said In his dairy, which he carefully kept.

I "and happy's he that gets the Berth .nearest the fire." Reckoning that "a Dubloon is my constant gain every Day and sometime Six Pistoles," be could smile at privations, as he jingled in his pocket those Spanish gold coins. It was good pay, but he earned it. After one hundred and fifty years . had passed, since he ran his lines with the aid of a simple compass, the government lately went over them with high-power transits and found them remarkably correct. So, too, the . world has retraced the lines of his I life and found them as true as those that he drew through the wild forest in his boyhood days. The frontier ever has been a great training school in our new world.

The After Effects of Pneumonia

This is No. 2 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such a Pneumonia, Influenza, WTioopinjf Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And bow Vick's VapoRub may be of value in this condition.

Pneumonia attacks the air cells of the lungs. An inflammation is set up and matter is thrown off which causes the air cells to solidify, thus preventing the natural flow of blood thru the lungs. This "backing up" of the blood causes the heart to pump harder, just as stepping on a hose increases the water pressure, which is the reason why, during this disease, the physician watches the overburdened heart so carefully. After recovery the lungs are filled with a mass of wreckage the debris of the battle which must be gotten rid of by a process known as resolution . Frequently , inflamed spots remain, congestion persists, cough hangs on, and the least exposure brings on a cold that is hard to get rid of. If neglected, such damaged air passages may easily develop serious disease of the lungs. Such cases should always continue under a physician's care and frequent examinations should be made to see that nature is

VapoRubl

properly continuing the rebuilding process. Nightly applications of Vick's VapoRub will aid nature in this work . Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough. In addition, the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying, swallow a small bit of Vicks the size of a pea. Samples to new users will be sent free on request to the Vick Chemical Company, 232 Broad Street, Greensboro, N. C.
