Human Hair Mixture
Makes Strong Linen

Amiens, France, Jan. 26.-(AP)-
The manufacturer of strong linen for
the filtering of extra heavy oils and
other fats Is the latest use found for
Milady's beautiful hair.
The supply of women's hair being
totally inadequate to meet the de-
mand Of the manufacturers, it is now
being mixed with hair obtained in
China from the fast disappearing
queues" of modern Celestials.
The carding, spinning and weav-
ing of human hair for the manu-
facture of cloth is an industry just
established here, but which has
made great strides. The cloth or
linen obtained from very close weav-
ing of hair is virtually untearable
and Is in demand by refining plants
and distillers Of heavy oils, which
require that the cloth used as filters
be subjected to a very high tension.
Several washing operations are re-
quired before the. hair can be sent
to the carding room. Thereafter it
is handled just like wool and woven
on special looms.
