Chapter 131--Barbers and Beards. Barbers of the present time us- ually talk a great deal--and say very little. In olden Athens, barbers were al- so talkative, but they often had something worth while to say. The barber shops in those days were conducted in private dwellings. each shop was a kind of clubroom. Special doors led to the streets, and people came there to talk things over or to exchange news. There were, of course; no news- papers, so people felt a great need of learning about events from one another. This was. done when they met at thel central market place, or at barber shops. The barbers did most or the things we might expect--sometimes they shaved a man, sometimes they trimmed his beard or cut his nails. In certain cases, they even curled the hair; for any Greek men tried to make themselves as handsome as possible! Hair cuts were part of the barse: trade, but styles changed time to time. Long hair was in fashion for a period, but later it was only the '"dandies" who let their hair grow down to their shoulders, Most men seem to Bave let their beards grow out -- until a queer | event happened. A general named Alexander led the Greeks utp dattle against the Persians. The enemy got into the habit of grasping the beards and dragging the Greeks to the ground. Alexander then order- ed his soldiers to get shaved. Af- ter that it came to be tne custom in Athens for all men to ibe shaved. The barbers rejoiced. Notice the styles in ba and hats shown above. The Greeks did not think people should all dress alike. Next.--Feasting and Wine Drink- ing. AS THE ATTACK ON CORFU CALLED LUDICROUS The Italian Navy and Air Force Stormed a Defenceless Town. Athens, Sept. 6.--The Italians are still landing troops at Corfu, together with a considerable amount of light artillery and supplies. The engin- eers are very busy putting up tele- graph lines throughout the island and the entire proceeding, according to foreign observers, has the appear- ance of prolonged occupation. The population is passive, but intense hatred of the Italians' action is not concealed. Foreigners are, perhaps, more demonstrative in their disap- ,proval than the natives. The steamship Ismini, which left Corfu at two o'clock on Sunday after- noon, escorted by Italian Destroyer 53, was ordered to follow exactly in the wake of the 'destroyer, which proceeded to zig-zag in the most re- markable fashion back and forth across the broad channel between "Corfu and the mainland of Greece. Whether this was done because mines were sown by the Italians, or merely horse play in pretense that there are mines, is unknown. After three hours of zig-zagging, the destroyer departed off the istand of Paxos, but two aeroplanes continued with the Ismini until six o'clock, frequently swooping down in theatrical fashion and performing the most intricate aerial gymnastics, The word horse-play recurs fre- quently in conversation with the ls- mini's passengers, who declare that there was a great deal of this sort of thing throughout the whole Corfu incident. © A British passenger said: No Corns The simplest way to end a cord is Blue-ja g.

A characteristic incident was a march of a thousand Italian soldiers up a hill to capture the old fortress half an hour after the bombardment. The ruined Venetian buildings were terror- stricken refugees, whose experiences with the Kemalists a year ago aad given them some experience with modern warfare. The soMiers, arm- ed in all the panoply of war, march- ed sternly up the hill, then deployed across the huge square in front of the fort, throwing out groups of skirmishers and squads of machine- gunners, under cover providea by cafe tables and chairs where the of dinary Corfuites sip their aperitifs at this hour. "At a dramatic signal from the commanding officer and with a tlour- ish of swords, worthy of a nobler cause the skirmishers and machine- gunners opemed fire on the grim stronghoid.

Lone Frenchman Braves Terrors of the Atlantic A New York, Sept. 6.--Eighty-fovr days out of Gibraltar, alone in a bat- tered 354oot sloop in heavy seas about 200 miles off Nantucket light. F. Gerbault, a French seaman, last Wednesday refused a tow to port of- fered by the Greek liner Byron, Cap- tain Viahkis related when the Byron arrived from Greek ports. The lookout on the Byron, Captain Vliahkis said, saw Gerbault, standing clad only in underwear despite bitter cold and rolling seas, on the deck of his diminutive craft, waving his arms furiously and shouting in French. After explaining that he 'was cross- ing the ocean on a bet of 500,000 francs bound for New York and that two other schooners which had left Gibraltar with him had disappoared, the hardy Fre asked that his empty water kegs and food bins be filled, took his bearings as furnish- ed by the Greek navigators, refused an offer of ald and went on his way.
