From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 13, 1911:

• “Will the price of a hair cut and shave be fifty cents after February 1? There is an insistent report current in Lawrence to the effect that it will. Several shop owners have been heard to remark lately that they certainly would have to follow the example of Hutchinson barbers if Dr. Crumbine continued his activity. The state health official [says] that a close inspection of barber shops must be made during the month. It is generally believed that some barbers are not closely following the provisions of the sanitary enactment and that a rigid enforcement of this measure will be followed by a hike in the price of hair cuts. The barber law forbids the use of the same towel in massage work on more than one person, a regulation which probably no shop in town observes. It is also doubtful if the provision relating to sterilizing all instruments immediately after use is closely regarded.”
• “‘Zeta Chi boys: My conscience hurt me, therefore I return this here property.’ This note together with a pile of watches, jewelry, safety razors and other trinkets taken from a half dozen rooms, was found heaped upon the library table of a fraternity house at Baker this morning. The property was the same which had been carried away at midnight Tuesday. Its value aggregated approximately $400, and not a single article was missing.”
• “This is Friday, the 13th. Superstitious people are remaining quietly at home, and carefully refraining from any new enterprises.”
