Hallowe’en Joke
Upsets Barbers
What appeared ter a time to
hare all the ear mark* ef an
other barber*’ war In the city
developed yesterday Into the
outatandint Hallowe’en prank of
the day. It all started when
someone plastered handsome
signs upon the display windows
of Bill Corbett’s barber shop at
West Main and Willow streets
some time before the scheduled
opening for business yesterday
morning.
Men passing by rubbed their
beards, ran their hands through
their hair, and Inspected their
nails for the signs announced:
MHatrouts, 25c shaves, 15c; valet
service; free manicure with each
haircut and shave l”
Soon word passed through the
tonsorlal shops In the city that
Corbett’s was violating the re
cently enacted provisions gov
erning barber shops and delega
tions wsre being named to call
upon the offender and demand
an explanation.
When Bill Corbett arrived at
his shop, h* was both astonished
and angry for he Is one of the
sticklers for maintaining harbor
ing regulations. The signs were
removed with dispatch and the
windows cleared. But that was
not the end of It. His phone was
busy all day as eustomsrs called
to arrange engagements for serv
ice at the reduced rates. Bill was
looking today for the perpetra
tor of the Joke as he sharpened
his rasor and hair clippers.
Long before the time limit, all but
$10,000 of the $480,000 taxes of
Douglas, Isle of Man, have been
paid.

the hay and truck. The department
