The order has gone out from the city health department and will be rigidly enforced. There Is an ordinance In effect now declaring It Is a misdemeanor for barbers to use the same towel on two customers. "This ordinance has been violated." said Health Commissioner Connell, "but ow ing to the lack of Inspectors In our de partment we have let the violations go on unhindered. Not all barber shops are guilty of breaking this ordinance, but many are. We will see that the ordi nance Is strictly enforced." A variety of beliefs obtain among tho barbers as to the constitutionality of such an ordinance. They say It works an awful hardship, what with other regula tions providing that the floors shall be cleaned with an antiseptic solution and the rasor straps shall not be "blowed upon with the breath." .

Judge Would Not Allow Damages for Man's Broken Nose Damages for tho obliteration of the classic lines of his noso were not awarded to Percy Ityan by County Judge Crawford yesterday. On the other hand Speaking anatomically Judgo Crawford held that Dan Qulnn was Justified for Ingeniously massaging t-aJd nasal organ and Ryan must foot tho bill of the surgeon who fixed It up, Qulnn's witnesses practically disarmed Rykn still sneaking anatom ically until the Judge thought he had not a single leg to stand on. It alt resulted from the sale of a load of hay Which Qulnn sold to Itvan last June. Two months later the two engaged tn fisticuffs In Elkhorn, which Is their abode. Ryan sued Qulnn for $700 dam ages, figuring that his nose no longer was a, thing of beauty and, never again wouM be the nose It onco had been.
