Men get bald more frequently than
women. according to Dr. Guelpa Of
Paris. because they wear hard, heavy
hats. they cut their hair too short and
they eat more than women. DR.. Guel-
pa says the scalp Is like soil and the
hair like the Vegetation that grows upon
it, When the scalp Is neglected the
hair does not grow and its roots die.

poor A heavy. hard hat constricts
the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp Clipping the hair short leaves
its tender roots at the mercy of cold
heat and dust. The oil that exudes
from around the roots of the hairs and
keeps them nourished is coaguIated by
the cold and chokes up the matrix in
which the hair is formed. New York
