The Travels of a Lie
BEING THE STORY THAT HAS REACHED EVERY AMERICAN
CITY OF LEPRosY CHINESE FALSE

ing hair switches, nor has medicine
record of single bona fide case
of any skin disease contracted from
handling or wearing false hair
But the lie has cut such inroads
into the false hair trade that it has
become a very serious thing in New
York, the center of the hair goods
industry.
The New York investigation has
shown practically beyond dispute
that the lie was deliberately started
by an American manufacturer of
hair goods to cut off foreign com
petition.
A typical illustration of the lies
progress comes from Chicago. Con-
tinually Health Commissioner Ev-
ans of Chicago is called to the tele-
phone to hear some mysterious in
dividual inform him of a case of
leprosy contracted from Chinese
false hair. Several times he has
investigated, to find a situation
something like this:
The inspector went out to talk
with the telephone informant. That
lady didn't know where the leper
lived, but Mrs. Blank did. The in
spector went to Mrs. Blank. All
she knew was what Mrs. Dash had
told her. Mrs. Dash referred the
inspector to Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith
passed him along to Mrs. Jones.

NEW YORK, March \,-Some-

sight. Why. it's right at home, and
do you know?-she took it from
wearing a SWITCH
Or else:
"She worked in Blanks depart
ment store, in the hair goods de-
partment, and she got the leprosy
from handling Chinese hair-all the
black switches come from China,
you know. And they say some of
the other girls in Blanks hair de-
partment are sick at home, and
they have strong symptoms Of lep-
rosy"

NEW YORK, March SIT was
only a couple of weeks ago that
big Tim" Sullivan had his annual
distribution of shoes, stockings,
pipes and tobacco at his headquar-
ters, 207 Bowery. This has been a
practice of the noted Tammany
leader for many years. Tammany

poor and the humble largely by
means of the dinners, picnics and
other treats" for which the lead
ers spend a pile of money.
The distribution was great
event in Big Tins district, as it
always is. Hundreds of pairs Of
shoes were given away. Today the
second hand stores of the BOwery
are full of shoes-"second hand"
shoes which show hardly any marks
of wear; shoes which have, been
sold that Big Tins beneficiaries
might get 40 or so cents for whisky.
But Sullivan doesn't worry. why
should | inquire where the shoes
go?" he says. "Any poor fellow
who pawns or sells them probably
| wants the money more than he
wants the shoes, and it's up to
him."
