———Eee Member of the Ualted Press, F Ushed datty by The Star ‘BARE PATES AND HAIRY ONES n a few centuric ays some French scientist who is Weclared to be an authority on pates and the coverings thereof “mankind will be bald “It me of the laws of nature to discard that for which there is no use, We were given hair because we needed it Excepting those who live in caves, men had no roofs, We had no hats, and hair was necessary to protect the head, But now that we have roofs and warm houses and hats and caps, hait is unnecessary ked. Mankind Just as the horse dropped “The increase in baldness cannot be becoming bald in a natural process. all its toes except one because it needed only one, so 1s man losing all his hair because he does not need it. The time is near near from science’s viewpoint of time, when a man with hair will be as rare as a woman with whiskers; and in a few centuries after that, the women will be as bald as the men.” That sounds discouraging, doesn't it? i te But cheer up. Hear what this German scientist, declared to be as eminent as the Frenchman, has to say “There never has been a time that there were no bald men, Dut the day is near when baldness will be rare. Scientists have not paid a great deal of attention to investigation of baldness, principally because they had not reac hed the point where they could investigate intelligently, but they have now reached that point and are turning to the subject. In less than 100 years from today people will look at a bald head as though it were a freak of nature.” . tel Wouldn't it be too bad if everything that either one of these men says should come trie? Fancy, if heads turn out as the Frenchman predicts, what a prosaic thing man will be. Try to imagine a matinee hero, a romantic lover, holding the heroine up against his open-face shirt while she murmurs, “I love you, Jack,” and then proceeds to rub his bare crock. Ugh! Think of the man of coming centuries, sitting on a couch, caressing sweet Alice's warm but bare noodle, a noodle with less fuzz on it than a celluloid ball, Why, a man might as well hold a china teapot against his cheek as a head that has no Billie Burkes on it, And what a time women will have in those days! Try to imagine this scene: “Come, Mary, you know the curtain rises at 8:15 and we'll miss the whole first act if you don’t hurry,” “All right, George dear, I'll hurry, But I've mislaid the mucilage and I can't make my hat stay on with this common library: paste.” For you know a hat pin will be of as little use to a woman without hair as it now is to a man. But the women can be trusted-to find something to make up for the lack of hair. Those with husbands of moderate means will have the noodle tattooed, while those whose hus- bands have large purses can have theirs frescoed once a week, and the extremely rich can have theirs hand-painted. 7 . . And how we would miss the bald-headed man if we were ® live in the centuries when every man looks like the big chief of a medicine show! Whom would the ushers escort to the front row at the musical comedies? Think of a man with a five-inch pad of oakum on his pate in a seat “down front.” Who would be the Buffalo Bill? Why, with hair so com- man there couldn't be any Buffalo Bill! Perish the thought that there will be a day when every- body will be bald, or when nobody will be!
