CUTTING
REMARKS
We might as well settle the
question of what this country
needs once and for all. The United
States needs a professional group
of barbers who can carry on an
intelligent conversation while giv
ing you the onre-over-lightly.
Shaving Soap-Box Orators.
But 99 percent of the barbers
Seem to also be public speakers
who were thwarted of their true
lifework. They have long held the
reputation of being a talkative
group and not only held it but up
held it.
Just as a bathtub or shower in
variably calls forth music from
the shower taker's soul, so does the
wielding of the comb and scissois
let loose a torrent of words upon
politics, war, the farm problem,
government relief, and spurts.
Many various reasons could be
advanced for talking. One that it
is an attempt to divert the cus
tomer from the business in hand
so that slight slips would go un
noticed. Another might be to help
keep the barber from succumbing
to minor temptations such as slic
ing an Adam's apple, shortening
the ears to fit the hair-cut, etc.
When a barber launches into a
phillipic on capital and labor rela
tions, it is all he can do to cut the
customer's hair or shave him. Thus
he has no time for interesting side
lights such as those mentioned
above.
The barbers nowadays have one
excuse to offer for talking loqua
ciously. Customers are so few
and far between that the barber

Anything goes, is the motto of
the party, and almost everything
does. Tile only costume not admit
ted at the door the night of the
dance -when properly accompan

spring party attire. Fancy dress ot
every period an every nationality
mixes about on the dance fior.
Costumes this year, for some
reason, seem to go in pairs or in
sets of from four to eight. For in

by the throat ai'ment.

Anderson play that the university
dramatists have chosen. Last

Elizabethan Age Portrayed.
The coming play is an excellent
analytical study of the character
of the Klizahethnn age and of the
people who lived at that time. The
playwright spent much time in re
search for the work which shoves
a freely used imagination coupled
with accurate detail to portray
some authentic history.

support Mrs. Yinger and Mr.
Rider. Robert Johnston will t:ik:

Cubistic Works Shown.
On the west wall of gallery A.
are to be found the suirealis-
j tic and cubistic works of Pi
casso, liraque, (,'liinco and Kil
ling, contrasting with the land
scapes and portraits of the rest
of the room. Chirico explained
surrealism in this way: "In or
der for a work of art to be im
mortal, it must depart comnlete.
i ly from human limitation all
surijects, all thoughts, all ideas
must be put aside."
The cubistic figure done by
Pablo Picasso is an abstract de
sign on the same order as "Nude
Descending the Staircase'1 which
has raised so much comment. The
cubistic school of painting is be
believed by many to be responsible
for the abstract design that has
been appearing in architecture,
