Frous That Have Hair.

"Flner than frog hair" has long been
slang method of expressing the SUI
perlatlve degree. Doubtless no one
ever gave 1t a thought whether frogs
have hair or not. Probably no one
ever realized they did until Prof. G..
A. Boulenger discovered In the Ger.
man Congo frogs that had growing
upon their bodies either hair or very
good Imitation Of 1t. 1t has since de-
veloped that anatomlcally it is not
hair, In the sense In which that term
applies to mammals. Our own hair is
akin to finger nails; it is a horny
growth, whereas the "halr" on the
African frogs Is an abnormal deyel-
opment Of the tubercles that appear
on the skin Of the ordinary frog. The
ordinary person, however, who places
appearance above origin, will doubtless
call 1t "hair."

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
OF STEEL soon TO END
Americas Greatest Industry Returns
to Prcwar Basis With
New Year.
NEW SCHEDULE is OFFERED
But Pricc-Fixing Committee De-
clined to Accept Steel Mems Pro-
posal OF Longer Continuance Under
Governmental Regulation.

WASHINGTON. December 11.-With
the expiration of the present maxi
mum prices on steel on December 81,
government control and supervision OF
Americu's leading industry will COM
pletely cease. This decision was ren ched
by the price liking committee OF the
War Industries Board at conference
to-day with Elbert II. Gary and other
leading representatives OF the steel
industry. The steel men. following
their meeting, in New York on Mon
gradual lowering OF prices, while
promising the maintenance OF waScs
came TO Washington to ask Chairman
Baruch and the price fixing committee
TO sanction the new schedule of prices
To so into effect on the first of the
new year.
The attitude of the industry was that
continuance Of Federal restriction
rs to prices was desirable during the
period of readjustment.
They offered the committee the new
scale of prices for its approval.
The committee declined 10 receive
the document, announcing At the out
set that the government. in line with
the policy heretofore outlined by Chair
man Baruch, had decided upon the re-
turn Of all industry 10 normal prewar
conditions at the earliest possible mo-
ment The chairman OF the committee
called attention to the resignation of
Chairman, Baruch, which. takes effect
January |. and TO the fact that the
War Industries Board will cease TO
function after that date. Hence no
new price fixing agreements would be
entered into. 1t was therefore an
nounced that all former prices would
be allowed TO expire by limitation.
The steel men accepted the decision
in good grace and subsequent proceed
inEs partOok of the nature of fare
well ceremony between the big cap
tains of industry and the government
officials. The former were told Of the
governments appreciation of the earn
est and patriotic service which the
steel industry had rendered the gov
ernment In its most important prob
lens vitality essential to the winning
of the war.
Judge Gary. speaking for the steel
industry. expressed it's appreciation OF
the fair and just treatment il had
always received at the hands OF the
price liking committee. He added that
while their profits had been restrict cd,
the industry had been so stabilized as
TO greatly reduce the difficulties OF re-
construction which they now faced.

bers of each branch Of the Council
to put the ordinance into effect. not
withStanding the action OF the Mayor

simply two-thirds of those present at
TIE time OF voting. II will be seen that
tn, prospects Of the ordinance being

However. those favoring $1,000

to be appointed can muster un a con-
siderable vote. If they decide 10 mike

!c they do they Will undoubtedly be
able 10 draw considerable support,
particularly from the so-callcd insur-
gents OF the Common Council. These
latter made their fight on the commit
tees recommendations, particularly on
the ground of economy, and this may
be the watchword if a fight to pass
the ordinance over the Mayors veto.
