According 10 Professor Frederick
Starr, the celebrated anthropologist, IT
is only matter of few centuries or
so till man or the human race will be
hairless, toothless and also little toe
less. Prof. Starr made this statement
lecturing before his class at the Uni
versity Of Chicago. Ard so far as has
been heard he got away with it. No
body tried 10 argue with the p'fessor
about IT,
Man will have no teeth" declared
Prof Starr with a rising infection,
because he will need no teeth This
is due TO the many new foods that are
being invented which do not require
mastication. Nature soon does away
with any unnecessary or idle utensils.
When We cease to masticate our food
and there is no function for the teeth
or Mother Nature will take them away
from US. The same is true of the hair
and the little toes"
Professor Starr didn't mean that We
will cease 10 masticate with the hair
and the little toes. He meant that
they are becoming useless too, and
Will be also done away with We think
it's rather cowardly Of the Prof. TO

they are the smallest We find our
little toes as useful as any of the 9th
ers.
And being the smallest and rather
cute we'd hate to part with ours. Why
not make it the middle toe, professor.
And then about the hair. Professor
Starr says the hair is becoming use
less. We won't bicker or bubble with
the professor, he's an anthro-poI-o-gist
well, how do YOU pronounce it
then?-and so he must be a pretty
wise old gent. Doubtless the profess
sor is correct. Lots of men get along
very nicely without hair and the
