A current magazine contains an
able article from an eminent scientist
who gives it out cold that the human
being Of the future is to be hairless
and toothless. From infancy to old
age no hair or teeth are to torment
our posterity. The claim is that the
evolution of clothing and cooking is
obyiating the necessity Of hair and
teeth more and more all the time,
which sounds reasonable. With the
canned soups, breakfast foods and all
that sort Of dope it can be seen that
chewing is fast becoming unneces-
sary, except with the fellow with the
fresh plug of Star or Horseshoe, and
