an assortment of quilts in Hewson's

NATION SUFFERS
FROM ALOPECIA,
OR BALD HEADS

Chicago, Nov. Sunless hats are
abandoned the ace will be bald In six
generations.
II men and women would preserve a
nature given adornment they must go
about their various vocations barehead-
ed. Otherwise the future sees the en-
forced adoption OF a universal fashion
in head toilets for both male and fe-
male, smooth and polished, bearing the
contour of an old billiard ball.
This Is the opinion Of DR.. w. A. Guild,
a cousin of former Governor Curtis
Guild, of Massachusetts, who is O Wis
itor here.
""It is a scientifically established fact
that the American. people are on the
road to permanent badness and the
goal will be achieved in such short or
der as to startle the average person
unless heroic measures are adopted for
its prevention at once" said DR.. Guild.
Men and women must go barehead-
ed If they would prevent universal alo-
pecia. Men are to blame for the bald
ness which now Is becoming apparent
in women The disease is hereditary.
Fathers are bald and their sons early
display similar tendencies. Where one
or two successive generations have lit
tie hair OF their heads It car almost
be taken for granted that the next
generation will be prematurely bald"

WOMAN NOW HAS
MILLION DOLLAR
LIFE INSURANCE

Chicago, Nov BY taking out
5000, 900 Of life insurance yesterday
Mrs. Charles Netcher. owner of the
Boston store, increased the amount OF
coming, it is believed, the most heavily
insured woman in America.

preciate the value OF life insurance.
Her husband took out a 100000 policy
early in 1904 and died in June Of the
same year. The money was paid at
once and relieved any shock that might
otherwise have been sustained by the
stores business through the sudden re-
moYal Of its founder and head.

by scores of spectators, reporters and
staff photographers.

CHANGE TO Be MADE

Harlan, of Illinois, Slated for
Federal Bench to Succeed

washington, Nov. .3.-Achangez In the
personnel OF the Interstate Commerce
commission 10 regarded as very likely to
take place In the neal future.
Commissions James 8. Harlan, Of I'LL
nois. according to the best information, Is
the choice of President Taft for federal
district Judge for the Chicago district, the
place made acant by the death of Judge
Bethea. There has been considerable delay
In filling the position. Commissions Har-
Ian has not been I'm any affirmative way
a candidate for the position. But all his
ambitions are for a judicial career. and he
IL understood to be a good deal more than
willing to leave the commission for a
place on the bench In his home state.
Commissioner Harlan Is a son Of Su-
preme Judge Harlan. and a brother OF
John Maynard Harlan, once O leader
among the aggressive reformers OF Chi
cago. He was placed on the Interstate
Commerce commission by President
Roosevelt in 1906. following the increase in
the membership OF that body by the Hep
burn act. At that time he was practicing
law In Chicago.
The possibility OF a vacancy being thus
created qintthe commission has occasioned
much quiet speculation as to the possible
selection that would be made to fill the
place. It Is assumed at the outset that the
position would go to Illinois. though this
is rather assumption h assurance.
From the foundation of the commission, 1t

that Illinois vas to have a member. Mr..
Harlan comes in an unbroken line, and
the fact that Chicago, the greatest rail-
road center OF the continent, is in Illinois.
Is generally regarded as sufficient ground
for the states claim to representation on
the commission.
The appointment at this time would have
considerable political Significance. Sen
ator Lorirner and Speaker Cannon are ex"
pected ia have the chief voice In determ-
lining the selection, Inc It is accounted
probable that they would favor some man
In no wise unacceptable to the railroads.
, In that eyent-especially II they hould
demand the appointment of somebody
with distinct pro-railroad tendencies-then
there would be IN excellent chance for a
division of Illinois opinion, which might
have the effect Of increasing the opposi-
ton to Speaker Cannon In his home state.
