HELD HERE ON SANITY INVESTIGATION Devon Miller, son of Andrew Miller, of south of Syracuse, was held in the local jail and later turned over to the county sheriff for investigation c oncerning nis sanity, last Monday. The young man had come to town with his mother in the morning, and after she had gone to do some shopping, he went into the office of a local physician, a drug store, and several other business places and ordered them to close • their doors. The local town marshal came upon the Miller boy and after some questioning as to whether he had been drinking or not, the boy was taken to the jail where he was held until his father came for him. At the jail, he was examined by a local physician who gave no definite reason for the boy’s actions other than that he might have had a temporary relapse of mind, or that he could possibly have obtained some Marihuana which he smoked. The weed causes anyone who smokes it to lose control of their senses for some time, and while under the influence of the drug, are not accountable for their actions. (After Mr. Millen had arrived for the boy, who had attended school here and had played center on the high school basketball team, he was taken home and seemed very rational at the time. He was later taken to Warsaw for an investigation by the state police. We have been unable to get the particulars of this examination at this time.

NEW BARBER PRICES AND HOURS ARE NOW IN EFFECT The new barber laws which were passed in Indiana some time ago took effect last Wednesday all over the state. The state has been sub-divided into trading areas which were allowed to set their own hours for staying open with the opening hour no earlier than seven o’clock A. M. Shops are also to be closed on all legal holidays, according to s he new rules. In the trading area of a variable twenty-five mile radius around Syracuse, the barbers have decided on the following hours for business: On business days thru the summer months, hours will be, Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:00 A. M. to 9:00 P. M.; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 7:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M.; and on Saturday, 7:00 A. M. to 11:00 P. M. In the winter months the hours will be the same with the exception of Monday, when they will close at 6:00 P. M. » These hours were decided upon by 80 per cent of the barbers in this area and the others are farced to follow the majority in compliance with the state laws. The new ‘prices which were set by the state barbers association are to be carried out by all shops in the state, a list follows: Hair cuts, 40c; shaves, 20c; plain shampoos, 30c; Fitch shampoos, 40c; hand massage, 30c, vibrator massage, 25c; hand and vibrator massage, 50c; mud pack, 60c; witch hazel steam, 25c; all hair tonics, 20c; lady’s neck clip, 15c; honing razor, 50c; sick call shave, 50c, out $1.00; sick hair cut, 50c, out, $1.00; hair singe, 25c; tonic with vibrator, 30c. These are the minimum prices set by the association and any shop may raise them but must not charge less. One of th' main reasons for the changes is that all shops will hereafter be on the same schedule of prices and will keep practically the same hours with very little variation. Price cutting will be almost completely eliminated with this new list of prices.
