A HAIRS LENGTH SEPARATES
PAST AND PRESENT.

American women, far more than
European, became deNotces OF short
hair. and, for the past season, they
have been making strenuous efforts
TO acquire again sufficient length OF
hair to meet the demands OF the new
European coiffure. With long tresscs

help &. nature or the sklful transfor-
nation, the woman OF fashion may
choose for her style OF hair-dressing
any one Of the several types that are
now sanctioned by the mode. But,
In making her selection, she must al

TRY TO AVERT COAL STRIKE
Operators and Miners Again Meet to
Agree on Wage Scale.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Negotiations were
re-opened today between soft coal
operators, representing the nations BIZ
luminous output. and delegation of
miners, for the purpose of agreeing on
some method of drafting a wage scale
for the miners next January.
The operators agreed on a plan de-
scribed collecting several conces-
sions favora BILE to the miners late yes
terday at the conclusion of the oper-
ators' two day advance sessions. To-
days meeting will be the second joint
conference between the soft coal oper-
ators and the miners. The first nd
journed without reaching an agree
ment.
AS reported the plan provides for
district agreements arranged in such
a way as to permit a possible return
to the old contract competitive field
base; an impartial tribunal to settle
disputes and a sliding wage scale tc
replace the fixed and uniform scale
now in effect.
On the question of arbitra ton the
miners have repeatedly declared their
opposition.
Unless some method of negotia ting
scale is agreed upon operators said
they see little hope of averting a coal
strike next April.

Arrangements Made With To-
peka Banks to Garry Paper.
Topeka Bankers Confer With
Assistant Bank Commissioner.
To Be STEEL AND CONCRETE
Plans Made to Pay on Loan in
Ten Years. Time.
All Space in Stand Will Provide
a Source of Revenue.

Construction of the new 100000
steel and concrete grandstand for the
Kansas Free Fair at Topeka was prac-
tfcalIy assured today at a conference
which Topeka state bankers held with
J. II. Sandell. assistant state bank
commissioner. Arrangements were
made which will permit the banks to
carry long time paper of the fair as
sociation with endorsements OF fair
supporters and individual subscribers
to the grandstand fund
Full details of the plan to under
write expense of the big fire proof
stand were presented to Sanden. As
a result Of the conference there is now
little for the fair association to ar
range except the final plan of distrib-
uting expense and apportioning the
loan among the various banks
To Provide For Ten. Year Payment
1t is probable that the completed
plans will provide a ten year period
in which the loan is to be Paid off
Interest payments will be made from
earnings of the association and the
notes endorsed by individual subscrib-
ers viii be paid from revenues OF the
big fair. Individual endorsements of
notes will be in amounts pledged by
various firms and individuals.
Plans for the fair association to con-
vert every foot of the stand space into
payment of at least ten per cent year
on the principal of the loan in addl-
zion to keeping up interest payments
The stand, which will seat 1000 peo-
pie, will provide extensive concession,
display and office space under the big
amphitheater. Practically every foot
of it will bring a return to the fair
association.
The present wooden stands have
been a big burden to the association
Maintenance expense. insurance and
ina bility to handle the big crowds
have caused the fair to absorb a loss
when fair attractions in front Of the
stands might readily be turned into
earnings. In spite of the enormous
increase in attendance at the fair in
recent years, the association has been
unable to increase revenues, altho the
larger attendance called for added
expenses
To Be Used Next Year.
Compile. on OF arrangements for fl
nancing the grandstand proposition
today insures construction of the new
stands in time for the 1923 fair. With
n new steel and concrete grandstand,
added exhibit space and completion of
the new 100000 Hotel Kansan, To-
peka will give the fair visitors a real
welcome when they come to town next

DEFENDS TRANSPORTATION ACT
Repeal VIII Increase Car Sbortngl
Says Samuel o. Dunn.

st. Joseph, Mo, Dec. 5.-Present
transportation conditions. including
car shortage said to be the largest
ever experienced by the railroads, can
not be remedied except by change OF
public sentiment toward carriers, SAM
uel o Dunn. editor of the Railway
Age. declared today in an address be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce here.
Referring to legislation to repeal the
transportation act Mr.. Dunn asserted
this proposed legislation should be
titled an act to perpetrate and in
crease our car shortage. to prevent the
revival of prosperity and to bring dis
aster on the people, because this -
the great effect the legislation Will
tend to have. If enacted"
Farmers urging repeal of the trans
portation act in the belief that freight
rates would be reduced, are laborfng
under misapprehension, he said.
Freight rates, he explained. cannot
be reduced until operating costs are
lowered
