You seldom will find brainy man
with round head The head that
contains lots of brains either is very
long from front to back or else ir-
regular. You can learn something of
a mans mental ability by the hat he
wears. If his head is so bumpy that
1t seems as If he never could get hat
to fit him he probably is genius or
cracka-jack in some particular line.
If his head is long from front to back
he is a clear thinker and smart as a
whip. So if your hat costs more mon
ey than your friends hat does and
you are harder to fit be consoled by
considering that your brain is worth
more.-New York Press.
