The organizations, working sep

1t Is said that the ambitions o.
certain business men to hold higt

consolidation movements. but now
there seems to be greater disposi

men to forget personal ambition
and petty iealousies and work to

Why Women Are eearalens.

Among many savage nations 1t, Is
the practice TO pull out the hair on the
face by the roots. and especially Is
this the case with the women. The
persistence in this practice through.
out generations resulted in the weak
ening and final destruction of these
organs in the skin which tend to pro
duee hair. thus accounting for the gen.

WIRELESS DEBATE
IN PARLIAMENT
Fate Of the Asqulth Cabinet Hangs In
the Balance over Marconi
Scandal.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON. June 19.-The dramatic
debate on the Marconi transactions of
Sir Rufus Isaacs and David Lloyd
George was resumed today when
Premier Asquith took up the cudgel
for the attorney general and the
chancellor Of exchequer.
In the balance hangs the fate not
only Of the censured men. but OF the
Asquith cabinet and the liberal con-
troll OF parliament as we'll. The liber-
ais show that the division will be
strictly on party lines in the event
they have enough votes to save
Isaacs and Lloyd George but should
there be any considerable detection
the two would be condemned. They
would then resign in all probnbili'
but even that would hardly save the
government from defeat at the hands
of the opposition.
