great general strike is projected by
socialists of Belgium in support of a
universal suffrage amendment to the

government, which has resolutely set
its face against the desired legisla-
ton, will begin I'm November. Half

contend will be a bloodless campaign.
Women seem to be as earnest as the
men in the propaganda. Promises of
substantial financial support have
been received. the committee officials
aver from the United States. France,
England, Germany. Sweden and else
where and arrangements have been
completed according to the same au-
thority, TO send 10000 children to tenn
porary homes in the north of France
on the declaration of the strike.
The thoroughness of the socialist
leaders who are engineering this
extra work in the mines has been
strictly avoided so that there shall be
no accumulation of coal stocks against
the evil day. Similar action has been
taken i'm factories and workers are
limiting the output strictly to tho
quantities necessary to meet require
ments from day to day.

HAIR SHIPPED FROM EUROPE.
Bought From italian Women at n
Cents to 81 Pound.

Cents to " Pound.
Washington. Sept. 24.--According to
adviceg received, IL is The women Of
Italy. Switzerland and Dalmata who
yearly furnish the bulk of the hair
which is used so freely for the adorn-
mcnt or otherwise of the heads of Am
erican women. 1t is true a good deal
of this hair comes from China. but it
is the hair from Europe which is of the
finer texture and commands the higher
prices.
The women Of these countries have a
curious fashion Of selling their hair ev
cry year and having 1t, too. This is
done by having half of the hair on the
back Of the head cut off, and then by
twisting the remaining half over the
exposed part in such a way as to cover
II completely. I'm this way the women
in question reap quite a profit each
year.
" addition to this method of OBJ
tairinc a supply. the women of Itlly
and the other countries named save
their combings. which they sell reg
ularly TO the dealers. There are coll
lectors Of this commodity i'm all por
tions of the Italian peninsula, and the
combings are regularly made up into
bundles for shipment, principally TO the
United States. About - per cent of
this Italian hair is uncleaned, for the
reason that i'm that state it is adj
mitted TO this country free Of duty
For the poorer grades the women are
paid as low as 10 cents a pound, but
the finer grades fetch as much as
about two dollars pound.
