It might have been expected that the demand for false hair in Paris would exceed the supply, but the crisis has come soon er than looked for. A French woman without a few false curls does not consider herself well dressed, and the situation is ag gravated by the fact that constant hairdressing, curling, and the ap plication of socalled tonics ruin the growth of the hair, so that most French women are obliged to de pend on a coiffure. For years the peasant girls of Brit tany and Normandy have sold their tresses at annual hair fairs, but late ly there has been a decided shortage in these quarters. Recent customs statistics show that France Imports 300 tons of hair yearly lrom clher, countries chiefly China ard Japan. "It is true," said a prominent hairdresser in the Place Vendomo, "we are having great difficulty in se curing enough hair to meet the de mand, especially since American wo men have accepted the French fash Ion of hairdressing and wear false curls. At one time only the nobility wore false hair, but now everybody has it. Of course, all the while the stage demands a certain number of wigs. ADVERTISING. Of course, no newspaper could live a week on its Income if it had no advertising patronage. All newspaper men know this, as does the public. Every newspaper maintains an ad vertising solicitor for this reason, and its chief return for its unceasing work every day for the town and every business in it is from its adver tising support. Yet, if this were not so, It would still be true that no business man anywhere does the full amount of business which would easily be his who does not advertise, and adver tise liberally. This is not a proposition which re quires any discussion to prove its cor rectness. And the men who skimps in his ad vertising by just that much curtails his business. The man who advertises in The Coos Bay Times gets his announce ments carried to every part of this county every day free of cost to him. And yet there are men who think they are actually saving by not advertising, or by cutting their space down conclude that they arc practicing "economy."
