sought meeting places in other To-
cations. They are threatened with
another and worse dispersion during
the first week in November.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
D. d. Cannon are glad to know that
they have reconsidered their inten-
ton of removing to North Carolina

IS RACE TO BE HAIRLESS7
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations
Will Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under forty are bald
seems to indicate that this may be
possible, the men of the coming gen.
crations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally a hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But it is through no fault Of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while INT are perhaps un-
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females Of the species, and
while they may be only working out
the will of Providence. they are doing
it deliberately by %'bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced. it Is
said, by Russian women. who disguised
themselves trying to get out OF their
MISREPRESENTATION country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken up
by the bohemian set in New York.
and now is rapidly spreading. Some
Of the older women, not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bobbed hair.

greater tribute could q teacher have
than to have a child cry because he
was leaving her?" she later asked the
class.
One of the other boys remained
after the others had left. Miss n"
he confided. you thought Jim was
crying because he was going to leave

ROAD BUILDERS STUDY SOILS
Highway Engineers Expected to Oh,
tain Important Information by
investigation.

An investigation which promises to
gineers important information regard
ing the relation of soils to highway
durability has beep undertaken by the
bureau Of public roads, United States
department Of agriculture. This work
includes taking samples of soil at
spots in the subgrade Of a highway
where the road has begun to fail,
studying surrounding geological con-
ditions to determine how moisture ar
rived in the s%ubgrade. thus destroy
tests to determine the physical char
acteristics Of soils. and obtaining a
scientific measure of the bearing value
Of soils, In this investigation it is pro-
posed to obtain as much cooperation
as possible from the various state
highway departments. The bureau of
soils is cooperating with the bureau
OF public roads in this work.
Preliminary investigation has been
started in Maryland on the Washing
iodu, anu VIII &c "a
tended beyond Baltimore and on other
roads in Maryland. Progress has been
made in the matter of laboratory tests,
q number of samples of subgrade
material and other samples already
having been examined.
The federal highway engineers point
out that soils differ widely in their
ability to support loads, particularly
when they are wet. Just why this is
true and just what r the character

One Of the principal reasons why

have them identified before they had
