That such is the case has been con.
clusively proven by scientific research.
Professor Unna, the noted European

is the burrowed-up cuticle OF the scalp,
caused by parasites destroying the vi
tally in the hair bulb. The hair be-
comes lifeless, and. intime. falls out.

CLERICALS TOO POWERFUL
Kaiser Desires 20 Show Party that
He Can Run German
Empire.

BERLIN, Dec. H.-Emperor William
lunched with Prince Won Buelow at the
chancellor's palace today and. presumably,
they discussed the political situation
brought about by the dissolution Of Par
lament. The emperor and chancellor have
been in complete accord throughout in the
treatment Of colonial questions and in a
desire to relieve the government from de-
pendence on the clerical party.
This, It appears, will be as much an issue
at the coming elections as the question Of
the retention or abandonment of the Ger
man colonies. The imperial government
and the Vatican have gotten along fairly
we'll since the beginning of the late Prince
Won Hohenlohes chancellorship, but the
critical attitude of the center or clerical
party of recent years has been annoying
to administrative and court circles. 1t Is
not intended to completely break with the
members of the center party, but only to
show them that they are not indispensable.
The leaders of all the party groups ana
many OF their followers held caucus in
the committee rooms of the Reichstag
today.
1t is reported that the elections will be
held January 20 and that the new Reich
stag will assemble February T. but nothing
appears to have definitely been decided by
the government

as has been suggested.
Mr. Thomas Shaw, the lord advocate for

SHAW TALKS OF CURRENCY
Secretary Of the Treasury Appears
Before House Committee
ON Currency,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Secretary Shaw
appeared before the house committee on
currency and banking today in q advocacy
Of a high taxed credit currency, suggesting
per cent as a desirable rate. He en-
phasized the need for greater elasticity in
currency, but expressed the opinion that
the plan framed by the American Bankers
association will not bring about sufficient
elasticity to ever be useful. Granting that
the bankers plan results in the issuance
Of 500 10000 additional in national bank
notes. Mr.. Shaw said that in his opinion
not more than $4,000 worth OF these will
be redeemed.
Mr. Shaw thought the bankers plan was
wholly inadequate to meet the require
ments of the commercial world and said
it was encumbered with too much mach
inery for the limited good results it is
capable Of accomplishing.
He said he did not want to be regarded
as an opponent Of the measure suggested
by the bankers, because he felt that any
step toward relieving the demand for
greater elasticity at certain seasons OF the
year was desirable, but he argued that the
committee strive to frame a more effective
measure. II was urged by the secretary
that an effort should be made to make our
currency more elastic rather than to i'm
part elasticity to a certain amount Of
emergency currency Under the bankers
plan. he said, only the credit currency,
which goes into national banks would be
on its way TO redemption There would
be no reason why private banks should
seek the redemption Of national bank notes
and consequently they would make no ef-
fort to do so.
In the bankers plan national banks are
to be permitted to issue S25,OOO additional
notes for every $4,000 Of their capital,
at an interest rate OF 21A per cent and an
additional Sl25OO with present at the rate
