THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TIL
EMPLOYER

By long odds the commonest argu.
ment advanced in opposition to In.
creaEng the salaries Of the depart
ment employees In Washington is
that there are too many of them
who, even now. don't earn what
they are paid. 60
There are too many of them, Il
must be admitted, who don't deserve
an increase, judged by what they
accomplish.
There are people in the depart
ments who do just as little as
possible consistent with getting
by" with the division chief or the
chief clerk.
But are they altogether to blame I?
Isn't the boss in large part re-
sponsible!
Are not the conditions Of this SER
vice basically wrongl Is it possible
for anybody to be a Government
clerk and retain the zest, pep"
enthusiasm, that are possible In
other employment? +.
The very fact that there is an
obvious lack Of these qualities
among the rank and file of Govern
ment workers, when they are COM
pared TO workers in other employ
ments, Is the proof that there Is a
responsibility on the shoulders Of
the employer-of the Government
itself.
When a particular business or
ganization, which requires a great
army Of people, gathers in the best
brains and character that rigid
civil service tests can provide, and
yet gives these selected people so
little inspiration, incentive, motive
to effort, that such a general criti-
cism can fairly be leveled at them,
It is plain that the mode and cir
cumstances Of their employment are
at fault.
When a whole army falls out Of
discipline and into disorganization,
its leadership is promptly recog-
nized as responsible. When such
conditions prevail everywhere
throughout the organization, II Ia
recognized that There is something
wrong at the top.
Let it be assumed, for a moment,
that the civil service in the great
Government departments is just as
listless, ineIt, ambitionless and
lackadaisical a. it ID often charged

HEALTH COMMISSIONER TELLS
WHY MEN ARE BALD.

In the February American Maya
zine DR.. Arthur r. Reynolds, former
Health Commissioner of Chicago
gives the following reason for bald
ness:
"The hats that men wear are the
cause of their badness above the hat
line. Women also wear hats, but their
hats are fastened to their hair and dc
not grip the head as mems hats do
All other causes of badness such as
infections, seborrhea, etc, affect both
sexes alike and are, in fact more diff,
icult to treat locally in women than
in men because of their long hair.
How does the hat affect the growth
of hair in man? By COMPRISING the
arteries. the veins, the lymphatics and
to some extent the nerves that sup
ply and nourish the hair. 1t is not
because the hat is hard or soft, OF
that it keeps the head too hot. 1t is
vessels and starves the roots of the
hair. Caps may do the same thing
but caps as a rule do not grip the
head so tightly as hats do.
Badness usually begins at the
summit of the crown toward the bach
part, at the distant and weaker part
of the vessels furnishing the circula
ton. In such cases the pressure has
been on the vessels on the side of the
head. Sometimes the badness begins
above the forehead and is the high
forehead type of badness. In these
cases the pressure has been upon tel
vessels of the forehead. Sometime!
the head is bald low down in the bach
where the pressure has been upon tho
vessels in this region. When the head
is completely bald on top the pres
sure has been on the entire vascular
supply of the scalp"
