Men’s Heads Bigger? Bosh! Say Scientists

Philadelphia.—“Pish ! Tush !” said psychologists and anatomist's of the University of Pennsylvania, commenting on the statement of hat manufacturers to the effect that men's heads were growing larger. “It’s all rot!" said Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, in charge of the physical work of the university. “The theory could not possibly be sus--tained by facts unless,” he add 7 ed, with a twinkle in his eye, “unless it is a reflection from Germany. They seem to be suffering from swelled heads just now." “The fact Is interesting if true.” said Dr. Lightner. Witmer, head of the department ofpsycholngy—of—the—university. “I can’t think of a reason in the world for the fact, if fact it is. I’m very much inclined todoubt the truth of the statement.”
