MEN of the Indiana gas belt are be-
coming bald. Physicians who have
been investigating find that new form
of "hair scurvy" is sweeping the entire
section. At first it was thought it was
a disease of the scalp which had become
locally epidemic, but investigation
made later and covering the entire ter
ritory led to the belief that it is due to
the action of natural gas vapor. The
investigation has reached over the
principal cities and it is claimed that
fully 90 per cent. of the young men of
the section are becoming bald. Hair
dressers claim it is also beginning to
be noticed upon the women.

In the examination of records of ap-
plication for commissions in the new
volunteer regiments some damaging
discoveries were made. These were
that certain candidates on leaving their
former service in the state regiments
had fled claims for pensions and had
alleged disabilities of various kinds in
support of these claims. They had
failed to consider the possibility of an
other chance to serve their country
and had sworn evidence which disqual-
ified them from appointment. But
doubtless thinking that the war de-
partment would not be so inquiring
they had asked for commissions
