 LENGTH OF HAIR DISCUSSED IN MUNICH

Munich, January 6-(Special.) )-The question is being raised here as to what is a good length of hair. There is sud- den revival of the story of the young lady in the fairy tale who, imprisoned in the tower, enabled her lover to climb up to the window of her ,cell by letting down her wonderful looks.
 According to the Munich News" al- though the young ladies of the present day cannot hope to parallel in real lie this poetic invention, there Is actually q record of head of hair 101s feet long. Strange to relate, this did not belong to a lady, but to an Indian chief.
 Scientists assert that there is no reason why masculine hair should not be just as long as feminine. Men who never cut their locks men such as the monks Of Russia, the goatherds of Italy and Spain, and the natives of Java, have hair nearly as long as that of women.
