Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 March 1918 — China Now Supplying Hair Nets. [ARTICLE]

China Now Supplying Hair Nets.

The war has added a to woman’s crowning glory. Mnauy’s "invisible” hair nets are now made in China. Already' the hand of the Hun has been removed from the heads of our women. All these nets used to be “made in Germany.” The “made in Germany” is in quotation because, as a matter of fact, the nets were made in China and only finished up in German and Austrian villages. The war has knocked out this traffic and the nets now come direct from the province of Shantung, China, where labor is cheap and human hair plentiful. The traffic last year amounted to $334,000. The division of woman’s war work of the committee on public information, responsible for this information, does not say from what kind of a Chinese person, male, female, live or dead, the hair comes.
