War Shavings By Orson Lowett Hair-Cuts to be One Dollar, Shaves Fifty Cents Each, Barbers in Convention Decide—Newspaper headlin’ HIS is the most encouraging morsel the news columns have carried in months. The fifty cent shave item alone is going to solve a lot of our economic problems. Men who have been shaving and saving themselves 15 or 20 cents daily can now save 50 cents each morning, to say nothing of tips, or $3.50 per week against, $1.25 under the former rate. This is a clear gain of $2.25 per week, and if you multiply this by 52, or let us do it for you, you get the annual additional saving of $117 per self-shaver. Of our 111,648,921 of population, $4,401,359 are females, of course, but there are still $7,247,472 males, of whom 38,165,042 are of voting, or shaving, age. We must deduct from this 4,240,560 men (one in nine) who maintain beards.* This leaves us, roughly, or un- shavenly, speaking, 33,944,482 shavers. Multiply this by $117 and you have the gratifying sum of $3,971,504,394 saved for war pur- poses in one year by the shavers of the country. To be sure, there are some who have shaven less often—the once-or-twice-a-weekers, but they'll now save 2% times as much as they saved before, anyway. And when they see how great a saving is to be achieved by scraping daily we think they'll do it. They should. Many who have not formed the habit of going off to work with lather in their ears will now do so. And the furry ones should harvest their crops and join up. S & Save. What? Think of the Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps! Men can now shell out, loosen up, contribute, donate, give up, to everything. Any man who won't get up a bit earlier each morning and shave for his country is a mean, low-down pup. *Fulls: 21; Side-boards: 926,563: Dundrea 696,667.

The lad thinks it perfectly proper for him to slap the lassie and yank her hair, and she feels no shame when she kicks his shins and sends him home howling. Later along they “go with” each other, and regard with horror the awful irréverence of even contradicting each other. After a while they wed, and presently begin fighting again. @ She Beat Him to It The greater part of Mrs. Hardy’s life had been spent in patching and saving and “making- out” and doing without in order to keep the wolf from her door. One day a lady on the local committee for Food Conservation presented her with a pledge card. “Now, what's this?”’ inquired the old lady she adjusted her g! at,” explained she of the committee, “ a pledge in which you agree to Hooverize.” “Lor, yes, I'll sign it,” said Mrs. Hardy joy- fully, cause I Hooverized long before I ever heard of Hoover.”” sses.
