Motoring Causes Baldness.

It is apparent from what Dr. C. J White, dermatologist at the Massachusetts general hospital, says that women must either cut down the number of auto trips or run the awful chances of becoming bald, the Boston correspondent of the New York World says. The noted authority says motoring is bad for the hair. Usually women neglect to. properly cover their heads, with the result that they are compelled to take too many shampoos,” Dr, White said to-day, W ashing the hair and scalp once a month is often enough for a skin which is normal. A shampoo every other day or so, or even once a week, will produce baldness, and after a person reaches 25 or 30 years of age it is impossible to cure abnormal falling out of hair.” The problem is that if women want to go motoring they must completely cover the hair, but that keeps out the air and produces baldness, if they permit the dust to get on the scalp and then submit to the wicked shampoo they will also lope their hair. The only safe way is to reduce the number of auto trips. „
