The subject OF the experiment was DR..
Henry Head. physician to the London

ing the problems studied are excessively
rare, and as previous sxperimentalists
had been compelled 70 attack the prob
lem by indirect and less satisfactory
methods, DR.. Head offered his hand for
purposes Of experiment
At the time the tests began he was
forty-two and IN perfect health Since
bOyhood se had suffered from no illness
excepting as the consequence OF wounds

bad attacked his left hand and arm.
which were entirely free from scars Or
other deformities.

For two years before the experiment
began ne had given Up smoking entirely.
No alcohol was ever taken on the days
during which he was under examination.
and for some years he had abstsined

Mr.. Sherren. performed the necessary op-
eration. which was The dividing Of an
important nerve. the excisiOn OF q small

are reported TO have been a complete sue

progress through the maze OF scientific
perplexity and deep study. Dr.. Head is

1t Is Said to Give the Face a Square
 Jawed Effect.
 There is one question l always ask man who wants Il job remarked the business man who has to hire Sev- era hundred men for different posi- tions each year.
 The question l always ask them is, Do you smoke a pipe much: or course the answers are various. Some of them smoke q pipe great deal and others not at all.
 Why do ] ask about the pipe? Well. not that l have the least interest in Meir habits or that l have auy preju- lice one way or another in the mat Rr The reason is that l want to know whether the formation of their lower jaws is natural or acquired
 "A man with firm lower j;,w is al ways Il man of parts and of will. l say 'always'-anyway, most always. If he does not smoke a pipe his square jaw. back near where it hinges on to the upper one, is natural. II he Is d pipe smoker the looks are deceiNing. and l have to judge his ealiber some other way.
 Pipe smokers always have strong muscles back on the face about the place man stops when he makes the first stroke downward in shaving These are the muscles that hold the jaws together. They often give square jawed effect to man who hasn't any square jaw characteristics, My men think I ask funny questions, but there's reason."-New York Times
