NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Ah, those
wicked scissors!
There they lie, upon her dressing
table. glittering vandals that they
are, while in the drawer below lies
their loot; her own fair, shining
tresses; still waved and perfumed
as they were upon the fell hour
when she so blithly severed them
from her head.
Today she droops in sadness and
shame. For word which went out
from Paris early this fall finally
has become arbitrary upon our own
Fifth avenue.
The coiffure of the moment is
high, imposing, ear-concealing and
fat the moment after the clock
strikes IL. The next time. there will
! be a tendency to pile the hair at
| the back of the neck, building it out
over space like a cantilever bridge.
Meanwhile what shall she do, the
little rash devotee of fad, who per-
mitted a shearing Of her crowning
glory quite as though it had been
the wool upon a sheep? Many a
long, blue moon will wane ere she
has again the hirsute luxuriance

and rounded domes indicated for the
season just rolling round, which are
apparent even now.
Fashion Takes Care of Own.
Well. here's the point of 1t all:
Fashion takes care OF her own.
Lacking may be the beauty of solid
coiffure, but not a dozen and ono
superficial makeshifts with which to
conceal her shorn condition.
One which has found favor here
is accomplished by means of the
Spanish comb. Not the conservative
slab of tortoise shell associated with
evening at the opera, but a great,
fan-shaped, flligree construction
completely concealing the back of
the head and framing the face after
the manner Of head dress worn when
Babylon was a modern municipality.
1t is fastened to a strip OF silk as
nearly as possible the shade of the
hair. 1t conceals the bob princi-
pally by attracting all the atten-
ton to itself
Another somewhat similar de-
vice is achieved by means Of a
feather pom-pon sticking up from
the silk band in place of the comb
producing a nonchalant air il the
face under it happens to be beauti-
full, occasionally glycerated ostrich
is used for the Stick up, matching
; the color Of the gown.

Lumber Output in 1919.

A preliminary report issued by
the Bureau of the Census shows
that the lumber cut of the United
States in 1919 varied very little
from that of the year before. The
statement shows the production by
7SS identical mills. The 1919 pro-
duction shows an increase of only
3 of l per cent over that of 1918
On the basis of a $4,000, 900, 900 feet
production in 1913, this would in
dicate a total cut of approximately
32,100. 900, 900 feet in 1919.

REMAINING CONSTRUCTIONS

One is led by the profiteer who is vain enough to suppose that civilization will halt at his command. He owes his exist ence to the opportunities offered by the war.
 The obstruction must be removed and the sooner it is removed the easier will be the return to the period of honest prices and fair dealing. We need commissions in states and cities for the investigation oi charges of extortion with jaws for the punishment of the guilty If this is not sufficient. it may become necessary to regulate the middlemen's profit as we now regulate the interest that the banker can charge.
 Another great problem that presses upon us for solution Is that presented by the private monopoly. All tho bene- ficiaries of monopoly are assembling in one army and under one leadership to challenge the right of the people to own
 and operate natural monopolies in the in-
 terest of the public. It matters not in
 what form the issue Is presented. whether
 il the corporate ownership of munictpal
 franchises or in the private ownership of telegraph lines, telephone lines or rail road lines. it ix an obatruction that must

CONSTRUCTIONS SWEPT AWAY

Arone the obstructions which Mr. Bryan said he had seen swept away were efforts of predatory wealth to prevent direct election of United States senators by the people; efforts of the rich to pre- vent authorization of an income tax; ef- forts of few money maxnates of Wall street to kill the currency law which re- moved the center of financial power from New York to Washington; efforts Of powerful financial interests to staye off the coming of prohibition, and efforts to prevent erfranchisement of women.
 Woman's 8 influence is needed just now to silence opposition to the prohibition an -endment and to hasten the day of uni vcrsal peace.' declared Mr. Bryan. "Womans influence is needed throughout the world to oppose universal military training and provided for a referendum on war except in case of invasion''
