New Haven Barbers

New Haven's 258 barber shops are in "what may be properly termed a high state of perfection."--Health Officer John Levi Rice, in a report last fortnight. Dr. Rice has devised a shrewd method of harrying slovenly barbers. He grades their shops as to cleanliness and sanitation, publishes the grades with names. No New Haven barber shop merits grade 100 but: 138 are between 90 and 98; 104 between 80 and 88; only 16 between 70 and 80. When a shop falls below 70, it is closed.

New Haven's cleanest, grade-98 barbers: F. W. Neuman & R. M. Rempler, Chapel St.; Pasquale Mascola, Forbes Ave.; Louis Caliendo, Lamberton St A. Trotta & C. Proto, Lombard St.; Fred Vegliante, State St. ; Angelo Tucci, Whalley Ave.; William X. Frappier, York St.

With the exception of the very popular Frappier, none of these are regularly patronized by Yale students. The students' favorite, the Taft Hotel shop, rated 97. Other choices: Emil Kossack, York St. (over the Jigger Shop), 93; Louis Miller, High St., 96. Sheffield Scientific School men go to Joseph DiFranco, Wall St.. 96; Gus Klein, Grove St. (near a beer joint), 91.
