SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

If not, “as Bill say*," you had better

The barbers haven't been sleeping all
these moons. THelr think tanks haven’t
been idly snoozing.
“Just because a barber shop Is a cut
ting emporium," said one member of
the tonsorlal profession, "doesn't mean
that we have to cut prices, too. Nay,
nay. We will lend more dignity to a
hair cut by raising the price to more
eminent position."
This and similar arguments were ad
vanced at a recent smoker of . barbers.
The resolution adopted said that In
view of the fact that prices of every
thing pertaining to the necessities sis
well as the luxuries of life and labor
and material Incident to the proper
running of a barber shop had so mate
rially Increased the prices of work must
be Increased.
“Statistics show," said the resolu
tions, “that every class of labor except
the barbers had an advance in salary
within the past five years.' Some were
raised voluntarily, while others were
raised through hard-fought strikes, loss
of life and bloodshed. These are the
best Indications that the laboring class
has not been paid sufficiently and such
is the case that confronts us today,
we do not help ourselves, who might
we expect to help us?“
Came Up at Smoker.
At a smoker given by the barbers at
59 1-2 South Pryor street Monday
night, L. G. Bicketts intended to speak
on unionism and the labor problem. His
subject was wrested from him, how
ever, when speakers which preceded
him nddpted this topic for their
marks. Goaded Into desperation, Mr.
Bicketts Anally decided to address the
meeting on “Higher Prices." His re
marks struck a popular chord and res
olutlons were drawn up and adopted.
That’s why the prices In Atlanta’s bar.
ber shops will be Increased next New
Years.
Here Is the new scale of prices: Hair
cut, 35 cents: singe, 35 cents; sham
poo. 35 cents; head massage, 35 cents;
electric or hand massage, 35 cents;
whiskers trimmed, 23 cents; shave, 15

LONDON BRIDGE
It Is believed that In early Roman
times there .was a bridge of boats over
the Thames. This gave place to
strong, narrow structure built by the
Human occupiers on wooden -piles. The
remains of this Roman bridge were dls-
< overed when the present bridge was
built. Tlte' Roman bridge was burned
in 1136. but was repaired, in 1167 the
Norman London bridge wph begun by
Peter, rector of t’olechurch. In the
i“lgn of King Henry II. It was not
completed until 1209, a period of forty-
t\v« years. In 1262 there was a terri
ble Are on the bridge, both ends burn
ing furiously, while 3.000 persons were
• aught between the two fires and either
burned to death or drowned. In the
fifteenth century there were houses on
both sides of the bride. Just as there
are on the Ponte Vecchlo In Florence
at the present time. In Tudor times
the heads of political offenders were
>tuck over the gates of the bridge. One
traveler lias recorded the fact that he
witnessed no fewer than 300 of these
terrible trophies Impaled at various
harts of London bridge.
In the days of James I the bridge
bad become the haunt of Jewelers and
"tlier small merchants, as we see them
on the old bridge over the Arno today. 1

Edwin Markham at a dinner in New
York said of mixed metaphors:
• When I was teaching In Los Angeles
I used to read every week a little coun

were an unfailing Joy to me.- Once, 1
remember, this editor wrote of a con
temporary:
•• 'Thus the black He. issuing from
his base thront, becomes a boomerang
In his hand, and. hoisting him by his
own petard leaves him a marked man

“Ho said In an article.on home life:
•The faithful watch dog or the good
wife standing at the door welcomes the
master home with honest bark.'

it. We know who the miscreant Is, and
if he does It again we will mention his

CLOTHE8 MADE OF WOOD.
The old saying of giving a inan a
“white pine overcoat,” meaning thereby
the covering provided by the under
taker as a last and outside shell, Is
likely to be realized In a more prac
tical way, and for the living, for cloth
ing is now being made from wood, or,
more strictly speaking, wood pulp. The
extreme cheapness and durability of
clothing made from this material Is a
very Important Item and will solve tlte
question of cheap clothing for the
workingman. For a long time collars,
shirts, napkins, .tablecloths and other
fabrics have been made from the fiber
of hemp, though this Aber Is scarcely
to be called wood, for It is separated
from the woody matter of the stalk In
practically the same manner ns Is the
Aber from Aax. but, being coarse, long
er and not often used for anything but
coarse cloth, bagging, etc. The material
for wood clothing Is a different process,
the wood being ground ami macerat
ed to a pulp, and when of proper con
sistency the mixture Is forced through
holes In Iron plates, coming out In long
strings from one-half to one-quarter
Inch In thickness. While moist these
strings are very easily broken, but
when dried and tightly twisted and
then woven Into fabric they become
strong, elastic and durable. Ere long
the department stores will haw w<vod
clothing for sale on their counters, even
If mereh to show they are keeping up
to the times. And thus another and a
very large use for tipiber and lumbet
looms up, but In this case culls and
wnstc stuff can be used, principally
pine and spruce.

BETSY AND 1 ARE OUT

Draw up the papers, lawyer, and make

For things nt home are crossways, and
Betsy and 1 are out.
We, who have worked together so long
as man and wife.
Must pull In single harness for the rest
of our nat’ral life.
What Is the matter?” says you. I

And 1 have been thlnkln* and thinkin*,

If I can’t live kind with a woman, why
then, I won’t live at all.
And so I have talked with Betsy, and

Ho I have talked with Betsy, and Betsy
fins talked with me.
And so we’ve, agreed together that we
in’t never agree—
Not that we’ve notched each other In
any terrible crime;
ve been ingathering this for years,
a little at a time.
There was a stock of temper we both
had for a start.
Although we never suspected ’twould
take us two apart;
had my various fallings, bred In the
flesh and bone;
And Betsy, like all good women, had
a temper of her own.
The first thing 1 remember whereon we
disagreed
as something concerning heaven—a
difference In our creed;
nrg'ed the thing at breakfast,
arg’ed the thing at tea;
And the more we nrg'ed the question
the more we didn’t agree.
And the next that I remember was
\shen we lost a cow;
She had kicked the bucket for eertaln,
question war only—How’.
I held my own opinion, and Betsy un-
other had;
And when we were done a-talkm’, we
both pf us was mad.
And the next that 1 remember. It start
ed In u Joke:
But for n full week It lakted, and
neither of -spoke.
And the next was because I scolded
because she broke a bowl.
And she said l was mean and stingy
ami hadn’t any soul.
And I'll put it in the Agreement, and
take It to her fc sign
And so that bowl kept pouring dis
sension* in our cup;
And so that blamed cow-critter was
always a-comm* up;
And so that heave* we nrg’ed no nearer
to UH got.
But It gave us a taste of somethin’ a
thousand tlnws as hot
And so the thing kept workfn', and all
the self-same way;
Alwaxs .<om; thin* to trg’e. and some
thin’ sharp to say;
OCOQOOOO00000OOOOOO0C30O2Q I A"«l down on u* came the neighbors,* And I don’t complain of Betsy, or any
Write on the paper, lawyer—the very
first paragraph—
Of all the farm and live stock that she
shall have her half;
For she has helped to earn It, through
many ti weary day, *
And It’s nothing more than Justice that
Betsy hns her pay.
Give her tlte house and homestead—
u man can thrive and roam.
But women are skeery critters unless
they have a home;
And I have always determined, and
never failed to Say,
That Betsy never should want a home
If I was taken away.
There is a little hard money that’s
In’ tol’rable pay—
A couple of hundred dollars laid by for
a rainy day—
Safe in the lufmlh of good men, and
easy to get at;
Put In another clause there, and give
her half of that.
Yes, I see you smile, sir, at my givln'
her so much! *
Yes, divorce Is cheap, sir, but I take
no stock In such!
True and fair 1 married her, when she
was blithe and young!
And Betsy was always good to me, ex
ceptin’ with her tongue.
Once, when I wus young as you, and
not so smart, perhaps.
For me she mittened a lawyer, and
several other chaps;
And all of them was flustered and fair
ly taken down.
And I for a time was counted the luck
iest man in town.
Once when I had a fever—I won't for
get It soon—
I was hot as a basted turkey and crazy
as a loon;
Never an hour went by me when she
was out of sight;
She nursed me true and tender, and
stuck to me day and night.
*And If ever a house was tidy, and ever
a kitchen clean.
Her hou*e and kitchen was tidy as any
