The form of the hair, however,
is held by the eugenists to be a
unit character, which is to say
that it is transmitted rather def
initely under a law of heredity.
Standard forms of hair are
straight. wavy, curly, kinky,
woody. Their congratulations are:
If both parents have had
straight hair from childhood,
without tendency to curl, all
their children will have straight
hair; exceptions less than Q per
cent.
If one parent has wavy and
the other straight hair, half their
children will have straight and
half curly hair.
If both parents have wavy

This Is consideration of the
transmission of hair in both color
and form, within the limits of the
white race, in which both color
and form are marked by great
variability.
It is to be remembered, how.
ever, that hair is one of the most
definite Of racial characteristics
and that, within racial limits,
such as those of Eskimos, Ameri.
can Indians, Chinese, Japanese,
and the negroes, it breeds true

PULLMAN
BERTHS
BY John 2. Medbury.

TV7E Pullman Company has
decided to make its berths
larger In the future. This
j should be good news to travellers.
as d mans head win then be able
to 60 to sleep at the same time
his feet do.
AS it Is now. half Of him stays
awake while the other half takes
1 nap.
The upper berths are so small
that man has to stick his head
out in the aisle to yawn.
And If he wants to stretch he
has to get off the train.
Pullman cars must have been
invented by somebody who was
suffering from insomnia.
One woman took her little boy
from Boston to San Francisco and
he suffered all the way from
growing pains.
He didn't have room enough to
grow.
She had to let, him smoke
cigarettes to stunt his height so
that he could be comfortable.
A New York man has all his
meals served in his berth and he
got so stout that he had to diet
before he could get out Of bed.
Al tall man has a harder Job
than anybody. He has to put his
head on top Of the pillow and
his feet underneath it.
He goes to sleep like Jack
knife.
A musician travelled in an upper
berth one night and skinned all
his knuckles trying to play an
accordian in bed.
Very few people can ever get
to sleep in a Pullman car. If
YOU realty want a good nights
rest you should give the porter
80 cents and have him knock you
unconscious.
OF course you could save a
half a dollar by knocking your
self senseless.
One fellow from the country
complained to the conductor that
the berth was so small he had to
take his hat off before he went
to bed.
The conductor told him he was
sorry but that he'd have to get
used to sleeping without his hat
on.
a guy like that has no business
on train. He should either
walk or buy himself cap.

Never since the armistice were the

Christmas eve with ceIebrants. In
spite of the prohibitive prices, every
table in the gayly lighted food and
drink places had been reserved days
ago, and hundreds of the tardy joy
hunters were unable to find even
standing room. For days past motor
1orries have crowded the streets in
front of the numerous restaurants,
unloading Christmas cheer in silver
and gold topped bottles.
Supper could be had all the way
