COPPER LIBRARY ROOF

DAY wrote "finis' to timed sheet COP

From the Manufacturers' Record, of BaItimores
From one Of the foremost business of
Birmingham the Manufacturers Record has
letter called forth by the suggestion of the

ought to ask the United States Supreme Court
to advance on its docket the suit of the gov
ernment against the United States Steel Cor
poration. Referring to the reasons given in
that statement as to why this should be done,
the Birmingham business man, who wrote us
on the subject, says:

Since 1912 and 1918 the queues of

more and more dependent upon tho
comoings of women. Men who have
dispensed with the queue in good
many instances allow their hair to
grow to length OF eight inches or
more. and such lengths when cut are
saved by the barber and sold to the
small trade in hair. These small
dealers make regular calls at barber
shops and canvass the homes OF the
Chinese, collecting cuttings and comb

which find their way finally to the
central markets. where they are taken
