 Gradually changing styles in hair dressing In the United States and Flu lope have dealt a death blow to tha trade in human hair in Hongkong. China In 1910 this trade reached its highest level, the United States alona buying such hair to the value of $685. 137 direct, in addition to a large amount which went by way of Eu- rope. The preparation of hair in va rious stages became one of the lead ing industries of Hongkong. New York took nearly all the long lengths of hair. This is vouched for by Amer ican Consul General George B An derson at Hongkong. The demand in Europe was for short lengths, stubs, combings and wastes. With the advent of the war this European demand has fallen away and the changing styles in the United States have cut down the demand from New York

HEAVIEST RAIN
/. OF SEASON FALLS
MORE THAN TWO INCHES OF
MOISTURE DEscENDs UPON
oTTUMWA SINCE DAYBREAk.

The heaviest rainfall Of this season
thus far was experienced this morning
when at II o'clock the local weather
station at the waterworks reported 2.15
inches. This was easily the biggest
fall Of rain that has visited these parts
during the present season, according
to the weather observer in Ottumwa.
June 23 there was a heavy rain when
late In the afternoon torrent fell that
impeded foot traffic and made the
working and business public seek
places Of shelter and covered convey
ances to their homes at the close Of the
day. The rainfall then was half an
inch less than today. 'a..
The downpour today began early and
an almost continuous bombardment OF
natures forces filed the air. The usu-
al Fourth OF July noise from fireworks
was for the time being auieted and
what little there was got drowned out
by the steady rumbling OF thunder. Up.
on the rain ceasing the celebrators both
large and small about the city and
particularly In the down town districts
renewed their noise.
The people who used sleeping porches
last night were largely driven to the
shelter Of their bedrooms about 4 a. m.
today when the rain began The
weather observer at the waterworks
reports .35 Of an inch Of rainfall before
O'Clock and 1.8 inches after that hour,
making a total Of 2.15 inches.
