Y F you are man with asmooth, oval fore
head, be careful how you wear your
hat. Otherwise you are likely to suffer
from premature badness.
Such is the warning conveyed by recent
student of the problem of badness, G. S.
Macleod.
Mr.. Macleod is himself a man who became
bald out of due season. With the praisewor-
thy hope Of helping others to escape this fate
he set to work to study the causes of badness.
From a scrutiny of more than two thou
sand heads he came to the conclusion that
use most likely to retain their hair are men
with flat foreheads and prominent bulges
over their eyes, or with other cranial irregu-
larities.
Whereas men with smooth, oval foreheads,
Mr.. MacLeod's observations went to show,
are peculiarly lable'to early loss of hair.
Those he accounts for on the theory that
smooth, oval foreheads receive equal pres
sure of the hatband at all points, squeezing
the temporal arteries and veins and the large
frontal vein and thus impairing the nutrition
OF the scalp by interfering with the circula-
ton of the blood.
irregular or squarish heads, on the ocn-
trary, receive the pressure of the hatbands
at certain points only, and particularly at
points that save the frontal and TEMPORAL
blood vessels from undue pressure Hence
there is less likelihood of the hair of such
heads receiving insufficient nutrition. and the
poned
Ihls theory certainly has the merit of taxi
ing the sting out of the often observed inheri-
lance Of badness 1t explains such Inheritance
logically, while robbing it of it's dread ele-
ment of inevitabilty.
For, obviously, men with smooth, oval fore
heads are likely to have sons with foreheads
OF similar shape. On Mr. MacLeod's theory
both father and son would tend to pre-
mature badness not because of any inner
tied hair disease, but because of the inherit
ed ova1-shaped forehead.
And further than this, the theory suggests
way to escape the premature loss of hair
unacceptable if it were really a consequence of
inherited hair disease.
The man of smooth, oval forehead would
merely have to make it a rule to wear q
hat as seldom possible, and when oblig-
ed to wear one, to have his hatband so pad
oed as to relieve pressure from the frontal
and temporal arteries and veins.
This be done by the simple device of
inserting small pieces of felt in the hatband
just above each eye, and, to make assurance
doubly sure, above each also.
Now the hat will no longer fit closely at
all points, and the supply of blood to the
scalp will not be cut off.
Of course there are numerous special
causes of badness, such as the toxic action
of infectious disease. When these other causes
are present manipulation of the hatband wiz,
have no preventive effect.
But as a general precautionary measure if
is well worth taking-at all events unless and
until subsequent researches definitely dis
prove Mr.. MacLeod's findings as to the rela-
ton between premature badness and the
shape of the head.

The Good omen of It All.

LoWndes county has joined the thickening
ranks OF those Georgia communities who
have decided that only the best roads are
good enough for them. BY a majority that
lacked little Of being unanimous, the voters
or LoWndes have authorized bond issue of
five hundred thousand dollars for highway
construction of the highest quality that first
class material and engineering skill can
produce. 1t was upon this policy that the
educational campaign in behalf of the bonds
was conducted, and upon this understand
ing that the people responded with so brim-
ming measure of enthusiasm
There could be few happier omens of Geor-
gia's agricultural and business progress than
this overwhelming demand for excellence in
highways. 1t bespeaks a sOundness of judg-
ment, keenness of ambition, a length and
breadth of view that augur we'll for the
States every interest. AS long as people
are content with poor mediocre roads,
they can hardly be counted upon for very
ardent support of schools or other institu-
tons and enterprises that make for the gen
aral advancement But when popular senti-
ment becomes thoroughly aroused and alert
to the need of the best roads obtainabe it is
pretty certain to see the need of the best
schools as well--if not Immediately, in no
distant future. 1t would be most crafty
ing if the rank and file of counties followed
the example of Bibb who wisely provided
bonds both.for highways and for. educational
interests.

Eliminate Grade Crossings.

The Albany Herald strikes an ever-sea-
sonable note when it urges the need of CO.
operation between local, State and National
government on the one hand and the rail
ways on the other in the task of eliminating
perilous grade crossings. The interest is
common to all concerned, the Herald truly
says, and adds: 1.-THE time is probably COM
ing when railroads and governments work.

ger"
Nothing short of the complete abolish
ment of the crossings will stop the grim toll
Of human life which they are continually
taking. Railroad companies have done ap-
parently all that earnestness combined with
preventive skill can do, but the record of
casualties at these danger points keeps
mounting. If motorists and other drivers,
and pedestrians as we'll, would take the SIM
pie precaution to "Stop, Look and Listen"
before starting across railway tracks, nearly
all accidents of this nature would be avert
ed. Strangely enough, however, thousands
upon thousands of persons are Indifferent to
that safeguarding rule-so Indifferent as to
ignore the plainest signs and signals Of
warning.

THE SOUL OF THE TREATY
RN DR. Frank Crane

by LII. IIdIk OlduC
The soul of the treaty Of peace is the
League of Nations.
Without the league the treaty will be but
dead body.
1t will be as a Hfeless statue, a thing in
capable of functioning; just, perhaps, but
powerless; formidable, but impotent simu-
1acrum, not living organism.
AS a league it is humanity at last united
! in an intelligent purpose. AS treaty alone
it will be but another of long list of treat
les, and the others lie broken all along the
roadside of history.
Without the League Of Nations it will be
a compound of oil and water, which cannot
mix. The league is the lye, and without it
your soap will not wash the world.
The league is the only rational object Of
the war. We did not sacrifice seven million
lives and two hundred billion dollars worth
of property just to get another triple alliance
or pact of Vienna or entente.
We waged the war to save the world
from war. And no human brain has yet con-
ceived anything else but some kind of a
League of Nations that gives any promise
whatever of stopping
Only by League Of Nations, a common
understanding among all governments, can
ornaments be limited, the people saved
from the intolerable burden of maintaining
monstrous organizations of destruction, to de-
YOUR the fruits of labor, and keep the poor
enslaVed.
out it there can be no propagation of future
world prosperity.
leagueless treaty will be an emasculated
treaty, sterile, by and by scorned by some
new conqueror.
Only by the league do we make sure there
shall never be another conqueror nation;
another outburst of national egotism and de-
struct1Ve race PRIDE repeating the devasta-
tions of Greece. of Rome, of Spain, of the
Turks.
With the league only can the small nations
be protected; Sweden, Belgium, Chile, Portu-
gal, and Liberia are made partners with and
their independence underwritten by Great
Britain, the United States France and
Japan.
Only by the league does the treaty secure
any Democracy of nations
Without the league the treaty will set the
world back into its ole weller of rival mill
tarisms, with all it's waste, jealousies, cruel
ties, barbarisms
10 cut the league out of the treaty is as
II you cut the heart out of man.
10 make the league a partisan issue will
be the most monstrous act of political prosti-
tuition winch the envy and personal preju-
dice of politicians ever perpetrated
Gentlemen, the people do not care a
hang about the treaty for all treaties are
stopgaps and makeshifts; what we want is
that league.
NO treaty ever stuck, permanently Every
one has been the seed of another war Maybe
the league will stick. At least it is worth
trying.
We the people are toiling dreaming, PLAN
ming, organizing, saving, to make this world
better place to live in, happier, freer. more
beautiful, litter for our chiIdrens children
and we do not want wars at regular inter
walls to smash all we have built Up with so
much pains.

THE BALLAD OF THE CYCLOPs
(By Thomas Hornsby Ferril)

(By Thomas Hornsby Ferril)
She slipt past hooded harbor lights,
Past muffled buoy and lightless quay,
Past silent bars, meath silent stars,
Out to the silent sea.
And no saw the good ship SAIL
She dropt her moorings unaware;
The only word her captain heard
Was the voice Of talking air.
Far into lurking seas she went,
The danger-laden months passed by,
She kept her way and every day
Her name flashed through the sky.
Till hushed one day her distant voice,
AS still as bays where shadows sleep,
And on mems lips she joined the ships
That sail the phantom deep:
Fair galIeys lost at Salamis 80
Armadas ships of Trafalgar,
Whose ghost-like crews are men who choose
To haunt sea at war.
Perhaps she plies through arctic wastes,
On some dim quest with Franklin's men,
Or sees new Pacifcs blue,
AS those on Darien.
Though men have raised blasted Maine, 7!
And triremes that in Nemi lay, Il
They only know that long ago,
The Cyclops sailed away.

The Stuff of Progress.

progress is made finds a happy illus
tration in the story of Jenkins county
mountaineering increase in pork production.
In 1918 the farmers of that county raised
one hundred and twenty-eight hogs for every
one hundred in the year preceding. But the
very speed and scope of their success brought
an imperative problem. How should tney
store and preserve this exceedingly large
amount of meat Gin the making?" Tucked
away among the countys half-forgotten
things was found small disused ice factory,
whose owners agreed, after some negotiation,
Ito convert into cold-storage plant II the
farmers would guarantee twenty-five thou
sand pounds of pork. ''In less than two
days." reports the Savannah Morning News,
fifty thousand pounds were pledged by hog
raisers At the end of the season more tnan
one hundred thousand pounds had been kept
There was a DOSAGE of less than thousand
mounds of meat, and that could nave been
prevented This year there is demand
for twice the storage space, the supply or
hogs is still increasing, and the need OF
more capacious cold storage room becomes
insistent.'
Here is most instructive and quickenIng
example of local enterprise turning trou-
blous need into rich asset. Without walt
ing for distant capital to discover their re-
sources and come to their aid, the farming
and business leaders of Jenkins county cast
about amongst themselves to provide the
means for continued progress, and SO we'll
did they succeed that hereafter capital doubt
less will come knocking at their gates for ad-

they found mere scrap of the old monarchy.

her population is reduced from upwards of
fifty millions to about five or six millions.
