In olden times excessively long haiI
was considered mark of honor and
rank, For many centuries long hai'
was In France the distinctive mark OF
kings. The ancient Persians and Par
thians of high caste wore long, flowing
hair. While the poorer classes We're

NATIONS to denote thraldom, and even
now criminals have their heads shaved

conference at the White House MAY

tion of the natural resources of this ma
tion. Waterways, agriculture, trans
portation, mining, stock raising, spec

and other mighty subjects were con-
sidered. But the conservation of man

"Jointed" Wool,

One of the defects in wool which
the buyers very carefully look for is
what is known as "jointed' wool
which means that there are certain
portions of the wool fiber which are
weaker than others. This can be
usually detected by breaking a sam
pie OF the wool in question. The pres
ence OF weak portions in the wool
nDsr generally means that at some
tlDo Of other the sheep experienced
s1oensss or the growth was stopped
Tor the time being. To prevent this
condition the sheep should be kept in
constantly growing condition and
sickness prevented as much as pos
sible
