Nate Crary carried off The succeas of the ball to the eofficient management of Master THE Republican Reunion. Call it “reunfon” or “‘coming back,” or what- ever term may please, the process of unificagion of the forces constituting the republican party is actively operating in all sections of the coun- try and the selection of the same time and place for the convention of the “‘progressives’ party" is the simple recognition of an existing condition. In Nebraska, perhaps more than in other states, | the unification has reached an advanced stage and, by the time the primary is at hand, it is doubtful whether enough voters will still be ad- hering to the third party to make any kind of a showing, With the more than 72,000 votes reg- istered for Roosevelt in Nebraska in 1912 ghrunk to about 9,000 polled by the bullmoose candi- dates in 1914, it is unreasonable to look for, at most, more than 3,000 bullmoose votes in the coming primary, so that sixteen national conven- tion delegates so chosen would represent not to exceed 200 constituents apiece. The bullmoos- ers doubtless find this situation staring them in the face also in other direct vote states whose primaries, as they come to be held, beginning with Minnesota sixty days hence, should there- fore disclose the extent to which the unification has already gone with the rank and file regard- less of the sparring for position by the so-called leaders. ‘What has brought this all about is pointedly explained by the Chicago Tribune when it say There can be no rational doubt of the necessity for a reunion of what is, in fact, despite the split of 1912, the strength of fundamental republicanism in the nation. Unquestionably, as we view the situation, there is vital need for a restoration of the aggressive nationalism which has been the essence of republican policy from the birth of the party out of the travail of rebellion and disintegration. At such a crisis of its history as the country now confronts there is a call for constructive action, for the vigorous organization of the national energies, for the leadership that builds and moves courageously forward. We have had enough and too much of negative polices, forelgn and domestic, of evasion of vital issues, and of lofty gen- eralization gilding infirmity or confusion of purpose. Having experienced another three years of democratic incompetency and inefficiency, the country must look for its salvation to the united ferces of republicanism. Huerta, Wilson and the Future. Victoriano Huerta's death finishes the chapter of Mexican history so far as he was one of the chiet actors, though it does not by any means conclude the incident in which he and the presi- dent of the United States came so closely to- gether, It matters not for the moment how Huerta came to power in Mexico, for his offenses and his good deeds alike have gone before a higher court. What is of interest is that our president, who has talked so loudly about not “butting In" on the Mexicans did interfere to the end that Huerts was not permitted to establish himself in power. Direct intervention could searcely have been more effective than the course pursued by Mr. Wilson in his refusal to deal with Huerta as head of the Mexican government, At that time all the wandering armed bands in Mexico save those of the Mexican government, found favor at the White House and this policy was steadily pursued, until a process of elimi- nation forced a choice between Carranza and Villa. Little enough existed to distinguish be- tween this palr; but by some divination not as yot disclosed, our president made his choice. Ona was recdgnized and the other outlawed, despite the oft-repeated assertion of President Wilson that he would not meddle in the affairs of the Mexicans. This record of intrigue will require a lot of explaining some day, and we may in time find out what John Lind reported back after visiting Mexico City. Em— 5 Submersion of Montenegro. The war wave has rolled over little Monte- negro, and ends its existence as an independent state. The achievement is startling further evidence of the inefficlency of the campaign of the Allies in the Balkans. The French, English and Italian forces have so far achieved nothing to materially affect the Teutonic advance in the peninsula, The signing of an armistice, the first of the war, is proof that Montenegro realized that no help could be had from the armies that were of no avail to Serbia. Taking over the little country Increases Austria’s control of the Adriatic, and puts a considerable damper on Italy’s dream of territorial expansion. Further- more, it gives the German forces absolute domi- nat'on of the Balkan peninsula, with whatever of advantage that may come from that condition. Montenegro has always been a considerable factor in Balkan turbulence, and its status {s not even now d‘ofinlul, fixed. The point of interest Just at present is that hostilities can be sus- pended by an armistice. Getting Into the Danger Zone. The Ford doves, having been organized at The Hague on a permanent basis, with salaries and an expense fund to support them, become & different flock of birds from that which set out on a fool's errand a few weeks ago. They are now rapidly approaching the danger zone. As an impulsive venture planned to show the philanthropic purposes and desires of certain well-meaning persous, it was quite harmless, and beld little that might be objected to. As a per- manent institution, supported by ample private funds, it takes on another aspect., Just how it can accomplish anything without in some way tting into the currents of the war isn't ex- actly plain, If it does get busy, it approaches trouble, for it is quite certain the belligerents will resent any systematic meddling in their af- fairs, even by this devoted band. We may need to be prepared yet, in order to rescue the peace pmpqmdl s, —— It is gratifylng to American sense of justice to find the New York probate court vindieating the memory of Mrs. Frank Leslle from the asper- slons of would-be heirs.

Mnl-"r men became more or less bald. Woman do not become bald. Woman's hair meets with vicissitudes; It gets dry and brittle and even becomes thin, but women do not become bald as men do, on top of the head What Is the reason? If the average man who is losing his hair be asked how he accounts for it he is likely to say that with him it is hereditary. 1If he be asked if he Inherited his baldness from his father or his mother, he will say: “Why, from my father, of course!” 1f he then be asked If any of his sisters inherited baldness from their father, he will say, “No,” and he begina to lose faith in his theory of baldness. There are endless theories of baldness that do mot stand any rational test or give any clue to the difference in this respect between men and women, Iven the medical authorities give mo ade- quate and convincing reason for baldness in men. They give their theories, and a very few of them hint at the right thing; but nowhere in standard medical works that can be found after diligent search is a satisfactory explanation of the baldness in men given. What 18 the difference In the habits of life, with reference to the hair, between mon and women? Men cut their hair short and women do not. Men wear hats that grip the head and women do not. These two ftema constitute the whole difference in habit betweeu the sexes with reference to the halr. There 18 no evidence that the cutting of hair in any way impairs the roots of the hair. On the con- trary, there is a popular impression that cutting the hair increases its growth. If it does, in the nature of things it must be a very limited ald to growth. On the other hand, if constant cutting of the halr has a tendency to make the hair on the top of the head fall out, why does it not have the same effect upon the hair on the lower part of the head, the neck ani the beard? The only inference is that cutting the hair has no effect in producing baldness The hats that men wsar, then, are the cause of their baldness above the hat line. Women also wear hats, but their hats are fastened to thelr hair and do not grip the head as men's hats do. All other causes of baldness, such as infections, seborrhea, ete., affect both sexes allke and are, in fact, more difficult to treat locally in women than in men because of thelr long hair, How does the hat affect the growth of hair in man? By compressing the arteries, the veins, the lymphatics, and to some extent the nerves that supply and nourish the hair. It is not because the hat is hard or soft or that it keeps the head too hot. It is because the hat band compresses the vessels and starves the roots of the hair. Caps may do the same thing, but caps a rule do not grip the head so tightly as hats 4 The main vessels carrying nourishment to the roots of the hair on top of the head and carrying waste matter away are in front of the ears on the under side of the skin and are casily compressed be- tween the skin and the bony structure of the skull. Two other groups of vessels are in the forehead on either side of the median line. They supply the hair above the forehead. Two other groups supply the back part of the head on either side of the median line. Baldness usually begina at the summit of the crown toward the back part, at the distant and weak- t parts of the vessels furnishing circulation. In such cases the pressure has been on the vessels on the side of the head, Sometimes the baldness begins above the forehead and is the high forehead type of baldness. In these cases the pressure has been upon the vessels in the forehead. Sometimes the head is bald low down In the back where the pressure has been upon the vessels in this region. When the head is completely bald on top, the pressure has been cn the entire vascular supply of the scalp. Why is it that same men are bald and others are not, while all wear hats or caps? The difference is due to the ghape of the head. No two heads are shaped exactly allke. Some heads bulge out in front of the fars and permit the hat pressure, Other heads do not bulge out in front of the ears and the hat makes no pressure, and there are varying degrees of fullness that permit of varying dugrees of pressure and produce varying degrees of baldness. Some fore- heads are full in the median line and rounded toward the sides, which permits pressure on the frontal ves- sels that starves out the hair on the front of the head. Some foreheads are nearly straight across from side to side with distinot corners on each side. Then the hat rests only on the corners of the forehead and the frontal veasels are shielded from pressure. In this type the halr is retalned above the forehead. Some head have a protuberance on the back of the head that prevents the hat from fitting tightly and prevents pressure on the two little groups of ves- sels on the back of the head, and prevents the bald. ness that Is low In the back of the head. Some heads are so free from corners and protuberances and are #o round that a hat fits tightly down all around quite like one length of stovepipe over its mate. Heads so shaped become bald earliest and most com- pletely. ‘The shape of the head may be inherited from father to son. This is the part heredity plays in baldness, and it is the only part. It is well known that hatless Indians are not bald, and there is no account of baldness among other sav- age races. The hat-wearing American negro man be- comes bald quite frequently, but the negro woman is exempt. The reasons that prompted the wearing of hats in the first place naturally excite curiosity: they are ‘worn to shield the eyea from the glare of the summer sun; they are womn for warmth in winter and a pro- tection from rain, but the chief reason for the hat in the present day is found in an effort to ornament the person. It adds to the stature and to the general im- portance of the individual, and the higher the hat the greater the importance. Such are the dictatcs of fashion. None of the reasons given are sufficlent to warrant the loss of the hair. ‘What is the remedy? The common sense answer is to do away with hats altogether, either as an ornament or an artl- cle of utility. When there is any real need for a cov- ering for the head something else can be discovered that will serve the purpose and do no harm to the hair, The ladies, too, should be cautious in the use of the Greclan bandeau, rubber bathing caps, auto- mobile caps, or other headdress that girdles the head. To be safe, mo headgear should be drawn tightly around the head. What about the treatment for hat baldness? When the vessels that nourish the roots of the hair are destroyed, they cannot be restored. If they are only partially destroyed or impaired, massage of the scalp, especlally along the course of the vessels, wi'l be useful. All lotions, singeing of the hair, etc., are useless, as the trouble is due to lack of nour‘mml from within, Should the mat maker and the hat dealer be held responsible? Not at all. The hatter Is in business and endeavoring to sell the public the kind of hats they want. But perhaps it will be wise for some en- terprising hatter to make a scientific study along the lines herein suggested and leamn to fit nondestructiv hats to the heads that need them, and so constructed | that the pressure will rest only upon the corners of the forehead and on the center of the back of the head.

Dentfes Arp Volces German View. OMAHA, Jan. 4.—To the Editor of The Bee: I note the communication from Henry Arp of Kennard, Neb, which you head “The German View- point,”” and which you publish with an explanatory note by the editor Exception js made for this lengthy communication in order to let our read- era learn how the German sympathizers regard the situation Now you should have known that when you penned that explantory note that the rank extremism expressed by Henry Arp is merely Mr, Arp's iden, but by no means the “German viewpoint,” and is shared in by few if any German- Americans. Mr. Arp is either one of those few who allow their German sympathies to run away with their common sense, or was “made use of” to write just such a letter for the very purpose of injuring the good standing of German-Americans before the public. That sheuld have been obvious, and by giving the unusual space to such a peculiar communitation you appear as in sympathy with the general effect, especially since similar lengthy communications are generally blue penciled and emasculated. This view is apparently confirmed by an editoral appearing on the same page when you tried to discredit a certain party by the statement that his education was “‘made in Germany because our American pub- lic schools were not good enough for him,” his parents having given him ad- vantage of one or two years' schooling abroad. This looks very much lfke a thrust from wmbush, in support of which you take a fling at those who through accident of birth, sympathize with Ger- meny in its hour of need. You know that 1 am a tolerable good republican myself and dislike to see any more of us driven into the democratic fold.

If any person cares to look over matters a little he may con- vince himself in a little time that the principal saving the democrats have given this country is the saving of a few busted democratic politiclans in about every community. Two principles seem to have developed out in this administra- tion. First, to eave busted democrats, and get the matrimonial habit iIf one gets near ‘the White House. I am told that the Ladies Ald societies are gener- ally talking about the matter, and they, of course, are not supposed to talk about anything but sacred matters, except un- der the most excraciating circumstances, Up here where we live, right in God's country, where we have nothing worse than chicken thicves (of course a lot of them), we had a case of democratic sal- vation, too. A man had gone busted the forty-fourth time, and was again going in the natural way the forty-fifth time. He was a democrat, of course, and there seemed to be an intense desire to save him. There was not much ink wasted on retitions for an appointment, and we all wondered how that one was saved. After inquiring we came to ourselves and found that Secretary of State Pancho Villa Weelum Geenings O'Brien, Prince Charles and Abdul Hamid von Hitchcock had no need of petitions, They just said the word and he was saved. Why under heaven should a little thing like the ap- pointment of a United States district at- torney keep 2 democrat from being saved? I had not been to church for about two years and T felt ltke a cat in a strange garret when [ did go. The preacher started oft on lhis sermon and within five minutes began to tell how great was the administration in times of war. I did not think much of it. Next time I ‘went to another church and felt a little better. The preacher talked about five minutes and broke off to telling how great the administration is in times of war. When I got out I sald to my part- ner: “For the love of Mike, have the preachers changed their religion?” ‘The next time I went to another church, and they were very polite in that one. ‘They asked me to sing In the choir. 1 went up, and when I thought I'was doing my best I saw the people smiling. No doubt they had heard an ungodly squeak from the choir. Soon the preacher began to talk, and withia five minutes he broke off and began telling how great is the administration in times of war. When the services were over the preacher shook hands and sad: ‘‘Prother why don't you give your heart to the Lord and be saved??™ T sald: “Not at the hands of free trade and the democratic party.” I never have been £o badly busted that the bankers have come to my rescue. We live in a golden age. WALTER JOHNSON, This Argument. OMAHA, Jan. 14.—To the Editor of The Bee: Allow me a few words regard.ng this “language argument” going on in your valuable paper. I as all other true Americans, am not In favor of teaching foreign languages in our public schools at the state’s expense, and, really, we should not allow it at any one's expense. It promotes clannishness, as any one can readily sce, besides it tends to confuse children’'s minds as to the fundamental principles of our own language. It stands to reason that ne one can learn mere than one thing at a time and learn it well, whereas foreigners speak nothing but a foreisnm language at home and (most of them allow nothing else spoken at home) the children have to try to learn It at home and English at school, with the result that they can only com- mand a very small vocabulary in each. We do not want the “babel” of Europe instituted here. If we give ome foreign language equal footing iIn our scheols with our own, we will have to do the same with all the rest. Tve only lived in this country thirty years, and while not an expert gram- marian, have done fairly well in view of the fact that I'm not one of the “chosen efficient torch bearers” of “kultur and civilizsation.” It becomess move evident as time rolls on that foreigners come here merely to enjoy the libertels of our government and transplant the seeds of @iscord and Intrigues of the governments they leave hehind them.
