HATS AND Badness.
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1912

II you are a man with a smooth,
wear your hat. Otherwise you are
likely to suffer from premature bald
ness.
Such is the warning conveyed by a
recent student of the problem Of bald
ness. C. S. Macleod.
Mr.. Macleod is himself a man who
became bald out of due season. With
the praiseworthy hope Of helping 9TH
ers to escape this fate he set to work
to study the causes of badness.
From a scrutiny Of more than two
thousand heads he came to the con-
clusion that those most likely to re-
tain their hair are men with fat fore
heads and prominent bulges over the
eyes, or with other cranfal irregulari-
ties.
Whereas men of smooth. oval fore
heads. Mr.. MacLeod's observations
went to show. are peculiarly liable to
early loss of hair.
This he accounts for on the theory
that smooth. oval foreheads receive
equal pressure of the hatband at all
POINTS. squeezing the temporal ar
teries and veins and the large frontal
vein and thus impairing the nutrition
Of the scalp by interfering with the
circulation of the blood.
Irregular or sQuarish heads, on the
contrary. receive the pressure of the
hatband 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 coming of badness is CORE
spondingly postponed.
M =.
of taking the sting out Of the often
observed inheritance of badness. Ii
explains such Inheritance logically
while robbinH il of its dread element
| OF inevitability.
For. obviously, men with smooth
oval foreheads are likely to have sons
with foreheads of similar shape. Or
Mr.. MacLeods theory both father and
son would tend to premature badness
not because of any inherited hair dis
] ease, but because of the inherited
\ oval-shaped forehead.
| And. further than this the theory
suggests a way to escape the prema
ture loss of hair. unacceptable il i,
were really a consequence of in.
herited hair disease.
| The man of smooth. oval forehead
would merely have to make it a rule
to wear a hat as seldom as possible
| and when Obliged TO wear one tC
have his hatband 80 padded as to re.
Iieve pressure from the frontal ant
temporal arteries and veins.
| This can be done by the simple de.
vice Of inserting small pieces of fell
in the hatband just above each eye
and. to make assurance doubly sure
| above each ear also.
Now the hat will no longer fit close
Iy at all points. and the supply Of
blood TO the scalp will not be cut on.
OF course there are numerous specia
causes of badness. such as the toxi,
action of influenza or other infection,
| disease. When these other causes a r,
present manipulation of the hatbant
will have no preventive effect.
But as general precautionar,
measure it is we'll worth takinu-a
all events unless and until subsequen
researches definitely disprove Mr.
MacLeod's findings as to the relatio,
between premature badness and th,
I6hape Of the head.

SEES LOSS TO FRANCE

PARIS. June 27.-The F,reRrh min
istry of marine has issued state
ment about the German fleet which
concludes:
Although the ships lie only tw anty
to forty meters deep, it can scarcely
be said worth while to invest the
considerable sums necessary for re- =
floating these forty-six ships. What
is certain is that their sinking con-
stitutes a real damage for France.
Our allies seemed ready to accord
us a large part of this fleet to COM
our navy to proper rank. Even the
British admit that France is the ma
ton which suffers most from the
act of the German sailors. The ships
we would have received would have
been a considerable adjunct to our
fleet. The enemy cruisers and battle
cruisers were good fighting units.

destroyers were all Of the latest type.
averaging 1,200 tons, and we'll fitted
to our needs. Possessing these units
would enable us to recuperate our
losses without prejudicing the in
terests of the allies, who seemed to
take disinterested attitude. We
would thus have regained the posi-
ton we held in 1914 and would have
been assured of our ability to pro-
tect our commerce and safeguard our
economic expansion. Since the Ger
mans have prevented US from obtain
ing our share Of these ships there Is
reason to demand an immediate in
demnity, which can easily be fixed be-
cause the value of the ships sunk may
be estimated at 1,50O.000,00O francs
$500. 900 .O00). and France, to which
the German act caused the most harm,
may properly demand the greater
part of the indemnity to permit it to
construct the ships it has been un-
able to build during the war;"

MEMORIAL TREES.

They are threatening to put up me-
statue or some other such ornament
doubtless can be made very pretty
although most of such things that |
have seen in cities are about as USE
full and as comforting as the parlor
clocks they have in the hotels all
over Europe-clocks that never run
and are not very valuable toward
elevating the soul
Patriotism Is beautiful and the SEN
timent is beautiful which wishes to
commemorate in some abiding way
the heroism of the men who went to
die in France. But why must all
sentiment run in ruts of convention?
They have been building monu-
ments. tombs. mauSoleums.. from the
days of the pyramids. Man is a tomb
builder. How much better it would
be if we could get away from this
for the dead that should keep their
memory green in the much surer
way. by ministering unto the living.
l have already written upon the
project of erecting community build
ings to be dedicated TO our heroes.
and this plan, l am glad to note, is
being adopted in many towns.
Another idea has been advanced
which is equally sensible and beauti-
full. 1t is to plant memorial trees.
The American Forestry Association
has taken up this idea. In one city
they are planning an Avenue of the
Allies" to be lined with trees in
honor of the allied nations. The Lin
coin Highway Association is consid-
ering the proposal to plant memorial
trees along portions of it's transcon-
tinental route. In Louisiana memo
rial trees are to be planted, one
every forty feet, along the Jefferson
highway. This is the road that leads
to Winnipeg. and the slogan is From
pine to palm"
And speaking of trees, one of the
most charming expressions l have
seen is that of Joyce Kilmer, who
gave his life in France. 1t follows:
think that shall never see
A poem lovely as tree;
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the worlds sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
nest Of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who Intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make tree.

as to what percentage was a fair re-

from per cent. after an allowance

mortgages on improved property
were not willing to increase their
