In the ietter the board's attention is called to the fact that the asso- ciation was not acing from a selfish standpoint or with an ulterior mo- tive, but was fearful lest all the barbers be judged by the failure of one to maintain a proper place. The letter foilows: “John J. McBriarty. Chm., Board of Health, “City. “Dear 8ir: In the interests of the general' public the New Britain Master Barbers' association is ap- pealing to the board of health for a more thoro'igh inspection of bar- ber shops, “Dating from the time of our es- tablishment, our association has aimed to educate barbers in sanita- tion. Because of our work, we are in the best possible condition fo de- tect and check the spread of skin and scalp ailments. Yet, there are shops in the city tod displaying all types of “sanitary” wigns, when we are fully aware that the signs belle the true conditions inside. “We have had, from time to time, most of these shops as members of cur association, but have felt it necessary to drop them from the membership rolls for their continued refusal to conduct sanitary places of business. This, however, does not protect those who frequent the un- clean places of business, and that is our aim, I know no member of your commission would care to ex- pose a member of his family or a friend to the dangers that lurk in the use of contaminated barber shop equipment, “Let us assure you, there is noth- ing selfish in the suggestion we are making, and there is § no ulteror motive; we are interested wholly in the question of protecting the pub- lic, and protection of our craft, lest all be judged by the failure of one to maintain a proper place. “Regular and systematic inspec- tion under your department is the only way to accomplish our ob- jective, I am sure that the associa- tion will be pleased to furnish an inspector, gratis, if you find it im- possible for one of your inspectors to do this work. “Respectfully, ““New Britain Master Barbers’ Assn. “JAMES BORDIERE, “Secretary.” Haldane Fails to Name Sweetheart London, Feb. 21UP—Seekers after the details of a famous . romance were disappointed today when the autoblography of Rt.
