Cmr MADE FAMOUS BY FICKLE FASHION Chefoo, China, Once Seat of Hairnet Industry. LOCAL AND PERSONAL NEWS PROM RLLENTON Washington.—'‘Chefoo, Chjna, re cently seized by revolutionists. Is a city made famous by ‘Fickle Fash ion,’” says a bulletin from the Wash ington headquarters of the National Geographic society. ‘‘The Germans started the hairnet Industry on a large scale, but the World war In Europe, and cheap hair and cheap labor in Asia, caused the Industry to migrate to the Shantung province with Chefoo as headquarters. “Although American women’s money paid the wages of thousands of women and girls In and near Chefoo, when the hairnet Industry was flourishing, perhaps few of those American women could locate Chefoo on a map with out considerable searching. - The city lies on the north shore of the *Cape Cod’ of China, which extends Into the Yellow sea from the main portion of Shantung province, toward the middle section of Korea. If a line were drawn due west from Cincinnati, Ohio, through Denver, Colo., and continued across the Pacific, Chefoo would be one of the first Chinese cities the line would touch. \ “Chefoo now ranks third among Shantung cities, with about 100,000 In habitant*. A large foreign settlement, with modem hotels, consular office buildings and residences bordering wide, electrically lighted streets, occu pies a knob of land on the north. ‘The adjoining Chinese quarter Is congested. Narrow streets, winding through this portion of the town, are lined with squatty buildings, mostly of flimsy construction, but It Is here that Chefoo bristles with business ac tivity throughout the day. “Stoop shouldered coolies from neigh borhood farms and villages trudge to the market place under loads nesrly ss large ns those atop mules and donkeys.
