ing was most effective, but when
there was a hand to hand combat, as
often there was, it was good night al-
most every time for these fighters
of this famed leader. All that was
necessary for the enemy to do was to
get a good hold on the beard of his
adversary then he could give him a
whack on the head with a club or a
battle axe and it was all over for the
bearded gentleman.
Right then Alexander saw the dif-
ficulty he was up against and bar-
bers came into their own, and from
that time on until the present day
barbers have been in clover.
The Egyptians, also, the gentle-
man informed the writer, were a clean
shaven people. In fact some of the
more religious of this race used zo
shave their entire bodies once every
three days.
In the far eastern countries, how-
ever, the barbers have never been
able to make much headway. These
people are very fond of beards and
hair on their faces, considering it a
mark of manhood, and stoutly refuse
to have the growth taken off.
At a little later period the bar-
bers in England were given the right
to do certain surgical work. This is
where the colored barber pole which
adds to the color of every business
street nowadays found its origin. At
this particular period the barbers
were more or less of an itinerant pro-
fession, and they carried with them
a long stick and a bowl. This was us-
ed in the prevailing practice of bleed-
ing people for certain ailments. The
party to be bled would hold the stick
out with his arm on a level and one
end of the stick resting on the ground.
The barber would then make an inci-
sion in the arm to allow the blood to
flow and catch it in the bowl. In this
way the stock became streaked with
blood and hence the barber’s sign of
today.
It was just about this time that the
barber shop came into vogue and first
became a lounging place for the male
population, and the center of the
town’s gossip.
Almost from the beginning, how-
ever, the barbers used all kinds of lo-
tions and creams and tonics for the
hair, and the present day practice in
fe respect is just about as old as the
trade
The barbers of these olden times,
however, were not equippd quite as
well as the men who follow the pro-
fession today. The razors used in
these former years were made of
pieces of flint, shell or the like. Later
glass was employed and bronze. The
razors were shaped very much like
the blade of a hatchet with a curved
handle.
The barber who told the reporter
all of this interesting story about his
trade said that not only had the men
of his profession had an important
part in the making for good appear-
ance in the male population, but they
had their part in affairs of state, in
art, in letters and in the drama. All
of which he impressed on his hearer
which went to show that the tonsorial
art was not at all a menial occupa-
ton, but one of the very highest call-
ings that can be followed by any man.
ossibly it would have been a lit-
tle too personal to have asked the
gentleman how it came about that the
barbers are so well informed, and
have acquired such a love for conver-
sation. He probably could have offer-
ed a good exlpanation for this also,
but the reader can very probably
guess how this all happened, and will
be content with reading this bit of
interesting history with regard to
barbering, and how it happened to
come into vogue.

THE BELL COMPANY
REDUCES SERVICE CHARGES.
Service connection charges, which
apply when a telephone is connected
or moved or when there is a change in
the type of instrument, have been
substantially reduced by The Bell
Telephone company of Pennsylvania
for all residence and for certain class-
es of business telephones, according to
Jesse H. Caum, manager for the com-
pany here. The new rates became
effective last Saturday (September 1)
and represent a reduction of approxi-
mately a quarter million dollars an-
nually.
The new schedules provide for re-
ductions ranging from $1.00 to $1.50
on various service connection, move
and change of instrument charges.
Up to the present time the charge
made for installing and connecting a
telephone in the residence of a new
subscriber was $3.50. The revised
charge is $2.50. The same reduction
from $3.50 to $2.50 will also apply to
moving a telephone from one resi-
dence to another.
Installing extensions in both res-
idence and business establishments,
according to the new rates, will cost
$2.00 instead of the old rate of $3.50.
Material reductions have also been
made in the charges for moving tele-
phones from one location to another
at the same address, as well as for
changing from one type of instru-
ment to another.
The moving of the instrument will
cost $2.00 instead of $3.00 and the
charge for changing an instrumant
has been reduced from $3.00 to $1.50.
Telephone engineers have estimated
during this year also about 190,000
new telephones will be connected in
Pennsylvania, and that this number
will continue to increase - annually.
This is exclusive of the moves and
other changes that will be affected by
the new rates.
