washington, April 26-The situation
Of the postal savings bank bill in the
house appears to be one calling for
radical measures of relief. Inquiries
among those responsible for its status
develop the fact that action of any
sort upon the bill is unlikely until after
all the other administration measures,
including the railroad, anti-injunction
and conservation bills have been put
thru the house. It is proposed to eau
Gus on the railroad bill, which also is
in q bad situation.
There will be nothing done with the
postal savings until after that caucus
is held" said a prominent majority
member of the house committee on
postoffices and post roads. III the
republican members go into that caucus
and they get together and success
fully, we will then have a caucus on the
postal savings bill. Then, when we
have agreed upon something. we will
come into the house with it,"
The same member declared that
neither the senate bill nor any bill sim
liar to 1t could ever pass the house.
The bill will remain in the committee
on postoffices and post roads until
some agreement is reached. Just now
but two members Of that committee are
in favor Of the senate bill. Represent
ative Murdock, insurgent republican
OF Kansas, Is one of these.

mission by officers of the Chicago
board of trade that they are parties to
an agreement prohibiting competition
in buying and selling Of food stuffs
during twenty out Of twenty-four
hours out of every week day is what
started the investigation of the grain
exchanges of the country by the de-
partment Of justice. Under this ar
rangement prices of commodities are
fixed for twenty hours a day.
Revelation that free trading lin
grains, provisions, and other articles of
food is restricted by an artificial device
has suggested to Attorney General
Wickersham the suspicion that herein
may lie partial cause of the remark
able increase in cost Of foods in the
last few years.
He nov proposes to ascertain wheth-
er the agreement of members of the
Chicago board not to compete with
each other except during specified
four hours of each day constitutes an
actual restraint of trade, and whether
as such, it is a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.

DEMAND FOR HUMAN HAIR.
Fashions Deerees Increase Trade to
l Ton Quantities.
f8necial Correspo nden1

Especial Correspondence.J
washington, April 26.-Fashton's de-
nnands are greatly increasing the trade
IN human hair, according to report
from Consul William Thomas Fee, OF
Bremen. He says German imports and
exports OF human hair greatly in
creased last year.
Measured by tons, the imports were
112 OF 2204 pounds each in 1908. In
1909, they increased to 1876 tons. The
exports increased from SO to 81 tons.
In 1909, there were exported from
Germany to the United States 1872 tons
against 81 tons in 1908.
To give an idea of the enormous
quantity Of hair needed to make the
weights cited, the weight of the full
ierowth OF hair Of a normal woman In
GOOD health, in the prime of life, ac-
cording to Mr.. Fee, averages about
one -half pound.
It thus appears, that to make up the
imports Of human hair to Germany in
1909, over 599,oO0 women must have
sold their locks. That is, over half
= million ywomen sold their hair to
dealers in that product.
Chinese hair Is the cheapest on ac-
count Of the abundant supply. 1t is
used only after being subjected tc q
complicated chemical and mechanical
process to make it thinner. 1t is then
bleached with hydrogen peroxide and
dyed.
The preparation Of raw hair in
Europe is almost exclusively done in
Bohemia. The towns Of Znaim and
sChotebor for decades have been lead
Ners in this industry This was origin
ally due to the abundance Of raw ma :
terials In these districts. Russian hair
is not SO we'll liked. The Russian
neasant women wear their hair hang
ine down and plated in long braids
thus exposing 1t to the sun.
Price Of human hair is according to
its length. rising by each two inches
In length. The most valuable is white
hair and as most old people do not
nossess a full growth this must be
produced artifically. A kilo of white
hair. about two pounds, is worth from,
$3.50 70 S238.
