HITS ADVERTISING FAKES.

A bill which is sweeping in intent
and purpose has been introduced in
the Canadian parliament-and II Il be-
comes a law. taking in newspaper ad-
vertising in Canada is going to be dan
gerous. This contemplated law makes
newspaper publishers as liable as IL
does the advertiser. II is intended to
do away with Misrepresentation In
newspaper advertising. and it goes into
details so thoroughly that false state
ments are punishable by a fail SEN
tence OF six months. or a fine OF $500
or both. When an advertiser claims
that suit OF clothes'is pure wool, and
II isn't. he can be sent to Jail. II a
real estate dealer makes false state
ments which bring to him a larger
money return than the property actu-
ally warrants. he also can be sent to
jail II an advertisement mentions a
fire sale" when there has been no
fire. the advertiser at once steps into
line for the attention of The courts.
So does the fellow who advertises a
or removal sale. unless he is
justified. The new law will cover state
ments in advertising from every angle,
and the newspaper publisher who
knowingly accepts copy containing
'alse statements becomes liable to the
embraced in the contemplat-
I'd law. Over 700 Canadian business
men using the dailies are back of the
Influences working for this law.

THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Heretofore the word diplomacy
when used in connection with the az
fairs OF government has been associ.
ated chiefly with statecrafts, and par
ticularly with that part of statecraft
which deals with international rela-
ions. Secretary Wilson has given to
the word a new significance and a new
purpose. He has adopted plan of in
dustrial diplomacy. While information
al diplomacy is used to promote and
maintain peace among nations the in
auguration of a system of industrial
diplomacy is calculated to promote and
maintain peace between employer and
employe. First among the duties of
the secretary of labor are those with
reference to the new federal function
of mediation in labor disputes. it is in
the execution OF this function. writes
Frank Il. Lord in the National Month
ly. that Secretary Wilson has intro
duced Industrial diplomacy. Under
the law the secretary of labor is given
power to act as mediator and to ap-
point commissioners of Cancellation in
labor disputes whenever In his judg-
ment the interests OF Industrial peace
require this to be done. This charge
upon the secretary of labor is so broad
and sweeping that 1t does not confine
HIS activities to labor controversies
which affect interstate commerce alone
Secretary Wilson is following
the practice of refraining from inter
fering with purely local disturbances.

right, however, is denied to persons In
the military service, who are tried by
court martial. The court martial Is
not trial by q jury of peers, but 1t is
trial by superiors.. And the verdict of
the court martial is nearly always
guilty.
But men who enlist fraudulently, Cor
don contends, are not amenable to
court martial. They are never legally
within the military service. There
fore IL any criminal offenses have been
committed in connection with their en-
listment they are entitled to trial by
jury in a civil court. The 800 prison
ers have not had this.
The army authorities found by bitter
experience that civil juries would not
convict men for fraudulent enlistment
Too often the recruit is encouraged to
commit fraud. II he is a minor, the
recruiting sergeant is likely to tell
him his sworn statement as to age
will not be questioned. Civil juries
took this into consideration, and usu-
ally brought in verdicts OF not guilty.
In 1892 the army authorities persuad-
ed congress to pass a statute giving
courts martial jurisdiction in cases of
fraudulent enlistment, Since that
time thousands of boys have become
criminals because of the existence of
a law which Gordon says is clearly
unconstitutional.
Gordon has introduced a bill to re-
peal the law. His opinion was accepted
by the committee on military affairs,
peal bill by unanimous vote 1t is
probably certain to pass, and the herd
ing into penitentiaries of boys who in
their eagerness to serve in Uncle Sans
army have overstepped the bounds of
truth in their enlistment applications
will cease.

set forth at different times. The
silvery gray appearance which is seen
in aging persons is probably charac-
terized to some extent by the occur
renee of larger number of air cavities,
and not by the destruction of the pig
ment. Hair pigment can be destroyed
only by the most vigorous chemical
treatment. Dry hairs contain more
air and therefore viii appear some
what lighter in color than moist ones;
but black hair may be dried to the ut
most without becoming white, and the
hair of dummies dried through the
centuries still show their pigment pre-
cisely as do fresh hairs.
The explanation of the familiar
color-changes of the hair is probably to
be found, not in a destruction of pig
ment already present, not in any
bleaching of hairs already formed, but
rather in a complete renewal of the
hair. Pigmented hairs fall out and
are replaced by unpigmented or white
ones. The appearance OF gray or
white hair is therefore attributable to
the formation of a new hair coat rather
than by the alteration of the old one.
Completely augmented hairs never
turn gray; they fall out. 1t is never
theless observed that the process of
pigment formation may cease during
the development of hair. In that
event the tip will remain pigmented
though the base appears white.
How are we to harmonic these
statements, asked The Journal of the
American Medical association, with
the many published records of hair
having turned white suddenly as the
presumable consequence of fright or
other profound emotion? A careful
study of the reputed instances has
invariably shown that they were myth |

The attempt to find an Illuminating
account of the factors which may
modify or determine the growth of
hair will usually be a vain one. The
older writer's, who did not always
hesitate to make dogmatic statements
when they were required to produce
a finished account, sometimes discuss
ed the subject with considerable free
dom. Not so the modern scientific
author. who realizes that every SEN
tence from his pen is likely to be sub
jected to the scrutiny and criticism of
someone who has studied the topic at
first hand. The general descriptions
of the processes OF growth have been
satisfactory. Facts concerning these
processes are permanent acquisitions
of physiology. but they do not COM
monty rise to the level of practical
problems. Why does or does not the
hair grow in certain regions in certain
individuals? What are the conditions
contributory to growth? How are the
natural changes in color brought about
and what determines them?
Experimental studies in this field
cannot readily be conducted on man.
Certain facts are. of course, matters
OF common observation. The beard
grows anew after shaving. and this
tonsorial practice is believed to stimu-
late the growth OF the hair. Precisely
why It does. is not clear. The beard
is also said to grow more rapidly in
summer.

natural color OF the hair is lacking.
the hairs present a gray or white ap-

more or less air in the hair. To ac-

They are sent there to be herded with

a French court or an italian court
