NETS DATE BACK CENTuRIE.

From the Dry Goods Economist.
 If there Is an impression anywhere that there Is anything new about hair nets. little investigation of the ca reers of Madam Pompadour and Marie Antoinette wi,l reveal that these illustrious ladies wore them, heavily beaded and jeweled. and in- tended as ornaments rather than for utility. A tour of inspection through the family album will also reveal the fact that only generation or so ago they were in high favor with ladies of fashion.
 The hair net as we designate and use this very necessary adjunct of a we'll groomed woman's toilet has swept into favor during the past five years. conservative estimate of the 1920 business is s40.000. 900 and this figure will be greatly increased dur ing 1921.
 Before the war many hair nets were made in Germany and Bohemia During the World conflict the indus try was halted in the central em- pires. and American dealers turned to China. Now hair net making Is one of China's foremost industries

MORE TRUTH
 THAN POETRY
CAUSE AND EFFECT
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

 ,, The terrible Turk. we are told, Was modest and gentle and shy. By the kindest of instincts controlled, Till the day that his country went
 dry. But as soon as the Prophet Mohamet
 had banned
 All drink with kick as unlawful, And barrooms were banished all over
 the land,
 The Ottomans conduct was awful. The Russians observers declare, Were always light-hearted and gay, Misconduct among them was rare. Till their vodka was taken away. The moment. however. that Russia
 went dry
 The cruelest impulses stirred 'er And now she awakens the echoing With riot and bloodshed and mur-
 der. This data would lead one to think That people whose natures are mild, As soon as deprived of their drink Forthwith become savage and wild. We say in our haste, When the booze
 is served out
 With quite unrestricted profusion, It puts all the violent passions to
 rout,"
 But that's a mistaken conclusion. It's not that all hootch is suppressed, As ill-informed students assert, That rouses the peacefullest breast To acts that are sadly overt; It isn't abstention that makes men so
 rough,
 Or savage or brutal or frisky; It merely is drinking too much of the
 stuff
 That the bootleggers sell 'em for
 whisky.
