CA RULE'S BROTHER -NOTED EVROPEJLN WARRIOR, Captain Norman MartorviL Master of liriiUh Man-of-War, Writes En- etH-ouraglngly of Situation. (By PRATT McXEELT) Monroe has probably one of the most enthusiastic anti-Teuton citi zens of the Carolinas in Mrs. Kan Carlile, who lives on West Franklin Street. Mrs. Carlile's enthusiasm Is somewhat warmed by the fact that she is a sister of Captain Norman Martorell. now master of the British man-of-war Sorata. who was master of the Flamenco when it was sunk by the Moewe about a year ago, who writes her very glowing accounts- of his engagements with German cruis ers and submarines. Mrs. Carlile is very reticent about most of the details written her by her distinguished brother, as she says these things are not intended for publication, although she tells enough to fully assure that Captain Martorell feels perfectly confident that victory over Germany is only a matter of time. Same of the letters tell of the sink ing of a submarine, of which honor vui'iaiu .:,.. mien u.i.ui a gooa tring. while others rive information lii.n la (.uaiuru im Valines honor of a Scotchr.un." It will be Interesting to read Can tain Martorell' description of being sunk by a German cruiser. After the battle in which the Scotch captain saw his boat get the fatal blow, he took an inventory of his ship and found his cook and several of his men injured from gunfire from the enemy ship, but the tragedy that net tled him most was that his pet dog naa oeen snot. The defeated captain watched the victor ship draw alongside his sink ing craft and take his crew aboard Walking to the rail he dropped his "papers" into the v.nter and turned to the bridge to light a cigarette and go down with his ship, but German officers refused him this seaman: nonor ana covering mm witn a re volver carried him aboard the enemy cruiser, where he was treated with officers courtesy and allowed to make his Jail in the officer quarters, Although their prisoner the Scotch man refused to drink to the health of the Kaiser and was soon transferred to another boat, from which he made his escape and returned to England The port of Plymouth. England says Captain Martorell, is closed to commerce because the harbor is com pletely filled with captured German submarines, "the Deutchland and Brenem heading them all." These boats are Just being held because the English can use their own craft to better advantage than they can the submarines. KEX THEATRE.

'lis an Old, Old Profession. In announcing the openine of mv modern barber shoD in the old Crow Bros', stand in the Bank of Union build ing, I take the opportunity of telling my old patrons and friends something about the trade. The word barber comes from Latin, barba, which means a beard. The mod ern definition, however, is one whose occupation it is to shave or trim beards, a hair dresser. In former times the barber's craft was dignified with the title of a profession, being conjoined with the art of surgery. In France the barber surgeons were separated from the doctors, and in corporated as a distinct body in the reign of Louis XIV. In England barbers first received incorporation from Ed ward IV in 1461. By Henry VIII they were united with the company of surgeons, it being enacted that the bar riers snould conhne themselves to the minor operations of blood-letting and drawing teeth, while the surgeons were prohibited from "barbery or and surgeons were separated into distinct corporations by Geo. II. In those days the barber shop was a favorite re sort for the idle persons: and in addition to its attraction as a focus of news, a lute, violin, or some musical instru ment was always kept for customers. THE MEANING OF THE BARBER'S POLE There are several barber Doles hunt? out from shops in' Monroe, but few, not even excepting some barbers, know what it symbolizes. The striped pole, from which is suspended a basin, symbols the use of which is still pre served. The fillet round the pole indicates the ribbon for uanuaguig me arm m Dieeaing, ana me Dasm tne vessel A il It o receive tne Diood. SOMETHING ABOUT OUR SHOP Our trade is old; it was once considered a profession. but in years past it has dwindled in respect and standing owing to the incompetence and unscrupulousness of some barbers. But we are proud of our trade, and we are go ing to do our best to maintain the standards of the olden days. Our motto shall always ness. We shall live up to that standard day bV day, and nus insure me people oi Monroe a barber shop where hey can secure the best work that can be had. NO REDUCTION IN PRICE-BUT- It would be suicidal for us to reduce the nrice of shaves in these days when flour and meat are selling so high, but although we will charce fifteen cents, our work will be just a little better. Everything will be a model of neatness and sanitation, and the people of Monroe and Union county are invited to give us a trial. Our work will speak for itself. The shop is now open, and ready for business. A SMALL BEGINNING My shop will have onlv two chairs for the present and Mr. F. B. Harris, one of the best barbers in Charlotte, has come down to assist me. This little shop, we feel, is . destined to grow and grow. This is a day of miracles, and one has only to remember Ben Franklin, who started the Saturday Evening Post, over a hundred years ago, and to ook at that paper now,. and ong needed a third barber fill that need. And your patronage will be appreciated. COLLINS SHOP J. S. COLLINS, Proprietor. Remember the location at Crow Bros, old stand in the Bank of Union building, facing Franklin Street O. Phone 33. v r.
