Hats and Bald Hea (Waterbury Democrat.) Why men grow bald? because they wear hats, sa Dr. Ar- thurs R the American Magazine. Ile says he has proved, by careful observation, that hats affect the growth of hair by compressing the arteries, veins, Iymphatic vessels and nerves that supply and nourlsh the hair. The nature of the hat or the amount of heat or moisture it cAuses hasn’t anything to do © with it. “All the trouble is caused by the hat band. And if you examine a man partly baid, noting the shape of his head and the places where his hat presses most tightly, you will find, says Dr. Reynolds, that the be- 8Inning of the bald area corresponds With the pressure spots. If the head is round, and the hat band Presses tghtly and uniformly around the whole circumference, the hair s likely to fall out uniformly over the head. Caps cause less baldness because they are not so Ught. The writer therefore urgc lh:\? hats be discarded. “The crea- tor,” he says, “put hair on the head a8 a covering and an adornment. It is all the covering that is required by adult men except during the few days of severe weather, even in a northern latitude.

But time and ort only reveal a hopelessly divided New England sen- timent. Nothing could be clearer than that New England will not go to Chi- cago solidly behind John W. Weeks. If this is Air statement, and true, then there remains but one thing for John W, Weeks, out of loyalty to New England, out of his concern for the republican party, to do. and that is to gracefully take himself out of the sit- uation, and give another the chance of becoming the choice of New En land as its favorite son in the presi- dential contest unanimous Sufficient Reason.

Various” sincere opponents of futile Philippines bill, which present form promises independence to the islanders within not less than two years and not more than four vears, that at the end of period all conditions ex- ternal and internal favorable, and extending the time thereafter, if the conditions are judged unfavor- able, for the life of the next congres: and so on, are nevertheless of the opinion that some sort of immediate legislation for the relief of the Fil- ipinos is essential. This opinion is not justified by the fac Brig. Gen. MclIntyre, chief of the war depart- ment’s bureau of insular affairs, has made a tour of inspection in the Phil- ippines and reports that all condi- tions there are much better than the statement of the political opponents of the administration had led us to believe. The people are reasonably contended and are making progres: in their educational and industrial de- velopment. In the view of General McIntyre, who is without political prejudices, Governor General Harrl- son's administration of Philippine af- fairs has been beneficial to the island- ers and there is no reason why it should not continue to he beneficial. It seems that the only object of thi objectionable bill is to impress the is landers, and the more ingenuous in. habitants of the United States, with the idea that the democratic party has rebuked the republican party by a suring the Filipinos and the other in- habitants of the archipelago that they will some day be independent. But this idea of preparing the islanders for future independence has been upper- most in our thoughts in all the years of our occupancy. We have regarded ourselves only as trustees. Our trust has not been fulfilled. It cannot he fulfilleq for many years to come. If the islanders need a new and more lib- eral organic law, this bill will not provide it. The bill that does that must be drawn in a statesmanlike way without a trace of the spirit of par- tisanship. There is no hurry. The islanders are doing well. They can continue on their present basis for some years more and become better prepared to exercise larger adminis- trative powers, (ongress has no spare time for the futile Philippines bill this session. the in its provided the specified seem Birthdays and Youth.

You can tick off your birthdays with more or less, thought gradually decreasing equanimity, up to a cer- tain point and preserve, after a fash- ion the delusion that you are still inside the fence which divides, not the sheep from the goats but the young from the old. But when you reach that particular point it is as fateful and as remorseless a tragedy as when the referce counts ten over the fallen fihting man. A moment ago you were on the hither side of the line—presto, begone, pass, change!— the mnext instant have been bundled over the barrier and chucked in among the antiquities, the sobersides and the heavy grandpar ent class.

It has even been suggested that it was the Portus Itius where Julius Caesar assembled his fleet. In modern times, Boulogne has been the Englishman’s favorite way into France, and, before the war, the passengers from Itolkstone to Doulogne totaled about 300,000 an- The trans-Atlantic liners of the Hamburg-American and the Hol- land-American companics, also, made | Boulogne a calling point.

It imported juteg wool, skins, thread, coal, timber, iron and steel for the of highly industrial northern France; and it exs ported woven goods, skins, motor-cars, forage, cement, and wines. It, also, assembled the fancy vegetables and fine table fruits for the Loondon hotels for export. The average annual valug of its exports was 0000,000, and that of its imports $30,000,000. It was the first fishing port of France, receiving and preparing great quantities of her< ring and mackerel.

The most important manufacture of this great war port during peace times, strange to say, is that of steel pens, which industry was introduced from England in 1846.
