Barbers Stand Pat
On 50 Cents for Hair
Cuts, 25 Cents Shave"
When hirsute male humans In the
adornment nature intended for them
flowing, bushy or scraggly' beards and
Hons of pavtd locks appear in place
of the shaven, sacheted. massaged and
feather-edged sleekness demanded by
present fashions, prices of haircuts and
shaves will be reduced, but not until.
Thla was tho ultimatum sounded today
by Portland barbers, who denied that
they would follow barbers of other cities
In cutting tonsorial rates.
"So long as wo can fill our chairs at
M and 2S cents a head, why should we
cut prioeor asked one barber.
Apparently, then, nothing short of a
boycott will bring back those good 'old
25 cent haircuts and 15 cent shaves.
(Uttl Stupid, th reporter, who be
longs to the rising generation, wrote
the good old haircut price as 85 cents,
but a wrinkled veteran of tho copy desk
suited the figures to his own fond rec
ollection Z5 cents. Them was the days.
Uttl Stupid; them was the days.)
Directors of Boys'
Chorus to Consider
-Financial Problems
The board of directors of the Whitney
Boys' Chorus association will eek at a
public meeting to be called in the near
future ways for financing th chorus.
Th matter of first importance, however.
In the opinion of the board, is that of
reimbursing persons who advanced
money previous to the chorus' California
trip, which resulted In a financial loss.
New district leaders will , be appointed
and rehearsals will be started in prep
aration for a music festival next May.
The chorus Is now rehearsing in prep
paratlon for a concert to be held in the
Labor temple January 27.
