 Not only badness itself, but the very pattern of the badness is hereditary. In some families, the hair begins to disappear at the tenn ples and the badness develops to- ward the center and top. In other families, badness begins with a round spot at the top of the head and spreads toward the edges.
 There are some races, such as the Eskimos, in which badness prac- tically never appears. A family in the Transvaal was described in which all the men in three genera tions became bald at 21 years of age or younger, whereas all of the women had abundant hair. Baldness was known in Biblical days and among the ancient Greeks.
 Incidentally hairlessness in an- finals is not uncomrnon-the hair less dog of northern Mexico being conspicuous example. Apparently this trait is inherited to such an ex- tent that mixtures of hairless dogs with normal dogs gives only half of each kind in the progeny.
 The theories as to the causes of badness beyond the hereditary ef- fects are innumerable. Out of the idea that badness is caused by in- terference with the circulation of the blood in the scalp have come innumerable notions with associated treatments.
 Thus, there is the theory that the wearing of hard hats like the derby and the topper stops the circulation to the scalp and brings about badness. Actually, young men do not begin to wear this type of hat until they get older and just about reach the age when hereditary badness begins to appear.
 There Is no evidence that the boys st Eton college who wear stifH hats while very young get bald any earlier than boys and evil dence that those who wear soft hats or caps only have any less badness

OF foreign wheat by Italy.
At times the Chicago wheat market

CORN IS EXPECTED
TO HOLD ADVANCE
Grain Needed in States That
Normally Grow Large
Surplus.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, January 16.-High prices
for corn all during this season are
at present being forecast by Chicago
grain leaders.
One Of the largest grain companies
here makes the statement that such
prices are vital, as only with the great
est economies will there be sufficient
feedstuffs available to supply the needs
of live stock. Another big company
says demand for shipment of corn
into Iowa and Nebraska, normally
champion producers of surplus corn,
has become SO urgent the situation
is like carrying Goals to Newcastle.
Illustrating the desperate plight of
wide areas where the corn crop was
largely failure, official figures are
cited showing farm stocks of corn
in four States-Kansas. Oklahoma,
Nebraska and South Dakota-total
now hardly 100000 bushels, an
amount 07,00o,000 bushels less than
last year.
Compared to one week back, corn
prices this morning were l cent-2R
cents a bushel up, with wheat varying
from y decline to y advance, oats
unchanged to IL higher. rye IL -54
down and provisions showing S to 81
cents drop.
Buoyancy Of corn values at other
Western markets than Chicago is re-
ported as greater than here. This
moreover, is the case despite the fact
that the rural trucking movement of
corn to various sections, South, South
west and West, has been absorbing
large quantities that ordinarily would
come to Chicago. There is compara-
lively little corn moving eastward. a
circumstance due to competition with
lower priced Argentine grain.
Drastic declines of rye quotations
at Winnipeg are given as mainly the
reason for Chicago downturns of rye
values.
