13ALD-HEAD PHILOSOPHY. If you h.v.e a Laid spot, visible and growing, don't consult scaJp specialists or pur over medical tomes. i.ook up jour family tree. .Study the scalp history of .jour forebears. And if they were bald, acquiesce with whatever resignation 3 on can muster, Such Is the advice of Miss Dorothy Osborn of the Ohio .State university, who has been pursuing scientific researches along this line and who publishes her bald conclusions in the Journal of Heredity. There is no trustworthy evidence, nays Miss Osborn, that baldness is earned either by tight hats or, except in extremely rare cases, by typhoid fever or other diseases. Baldness is an Inherited affliction. It affects both men and women the latter much more commonly than men suspect, because women can conceal their laid i-atcs more easily than men. And the laws of Inheritance are peculiar. If a father is laid, his sons are pretty sure to be. A woman is bald onlj- when both her parents have been bald. If a mother i bald, all her sons will be bald. If one of a woman's parents is bald, the baldness may skip her, and then lit;ht on half her sons, letting her daughters escape. Thus both fashion and nature conspire against man. His chances of inheriting baldness are greater than woman's, and he can't hide it when he gets it.

more by a loner nhot than we wer willin to accord t Mis.s Frances A. Kellor. on her "Stralchi America." In fact, it 1! fo confounded non-partisan a to be antipartisan, and so lon on non-conformity as to actually show some siens of originality. Indeed, but for Hill Nye's history of the Tnited State, we would know of nothing the like of this 'Centennial History of Indiana." whatever. For instance, he says: "When Indiana became a state. Jonathan Jennings became the first gocrnor. He serve J for six years. He had no whiskers. Jennings county is named after him, but he couldn't help it and it is understood that he did not belong to either the Vernon or the North Vernon faction in the court house light." Speaking of Corydon. the first state capital. Aleck refers to it as "nestling down among the stony hills of Harrison county." About a half mile Out, on the Louisville pike, he speaks of the old stone tavern: "A private family lives in it now. Just back of the building where the rain barrel stood, in which the statesmen were wont to lave their honest toil-marked faces, the clothes line is fastened and there, back and forth, the summer breezes whip tho newly wahed calicoes and Ringhams of the farmer and his family. Cockroaches creep in and out of crevices that once resounded to heated debates and quieter intrigues of the general assembly of the great state, as only debates and intrigues can resound." In hitting at Indiana's antequated constitution Aleck takes a little crack, too, at the "contitutional elm," at Corydon, and calls attention to the fact that when the constitution of 156 was adopted to supercede the Corydon article. "Addison Harris and Charley Fefrit were not as yet engaced in saving the mob from itself and its follies." "It isn't much of a tree." says Aleck. "There 1? much better saw timber in many less noted parts of the state." In fact, the little booklet literally bubbles with hits, whacks, whiffs, and humor a real contribution to the literature of this centennial year, in spite of George Ade's and Meredith Nicholson's and Ilooth Tarkington's supposed monopoly; now that James Whitcomb Riley has been eliminated by being trathered to his fathers. And who do you suppose this Aleck Davis is? Why. if is John W. Kitch, and Hobbstown. Ind., is Plymouth.

MR. HUGHES' PREDICAMENT. If Charles K. Hughes, the republican candidate for president, makes an issue of thy federal reserve system, established by the democratic administration, is he goIns to read out of his party the 3.) republicans who voted for the measure in the house? Will he repudiate the 16 progressives, the one independent, and the republicans who oted with the 24 8 democrats in establishing the sound banking and currency law which has been approved by the public and the banking worlu? Will he alscj repudiate the seven republicans who voted for the measure in the senate? Mr. Hughes will have a dit'icult time evolving any issue that will not entail a repudiation of many of the congressional leaders of his own party. If he thinks it expedient to adopt a strong attitude on the submarine controversy, which lrest Wilson settled by obtaining a full recognition of American rights under international law and bringing about the cessation of submarine warfare, he will have to repudiate

the 101 republk an representatives who voted against tabling the McDemore lesulution and thus registered themselves in favor of a surrender of American rights. Incidentally, he will have to rerd out of the republican party the 12 republican Ui.ited States seantors who voted against tabling the (lore resolution, which involved a similar surrender when Fres't Wilson was Jorcing the recognition of American rights. There were 12 republicans in the senate who voted for the administration's trade commission bill, and while there was no record vide In the house, several ecore republicans voted for the trade commission bill there. The republican party in its platform has endorsed the tariff commission method of handling the tariff, liefere that pl.-ink was adopted by the republican party, the democratic administration had introduced the Rainey tariff commission bill in congress and it will become a law In a few weeks. And the chamber of commerce of the I'nited States, representing the business men of the nation, republican and democraitc and progressive, has endorsed the Rainey bill. One hundred and twelve republicans and four pro-fc'rer-sives voted with the democratic majority for the pood roads bill in the house. ne hundred and four republicans and three progressives voted for the administration's rural credits bill. Ke'Ublican leaders of the house and semte repeatedly have endorsed the president's action in keeping out of war vith Mexico. if a vote were taken in the house and m r. it today on remaining, at peace with Mexico, the republicans would vote for peace so Ion? as I'rts't Wilson Is aide, a he has been, to preserve the honor ot the nation. It will be interesting to s-e how far Mr. Huches goes in repdlatin his own party in his speech of acceptance The only way he can avoid the repudiation cf a very 1 irge rumVr of the republican leaders in corress is by skidding around all the problems of the day.

THE BALANCE OF POWER. One of the elements of the present presidential campaign that has not been piven the attention it merits is the feminine vote. Woman suffrage has now become much more than an airy abstraction. Thtre will be 4,000,000 women eligible to vote next November. More than half of them are "first voters." And inasmuch as it is extremely problematical how they are going to vote, the politicians are viewing them with ever-growing interest, mingled with fear. There is already in the tield a "woman's party." What that party stands for has been made known plainly by its Chicago convention, held simultaneously with the republican and progressive conventions. It ha3 but a single plank. It stands, at present, for a single purpose the enfranchisement of all the women in the country, by the same means that enfranchised the negro an amendment to the federal constitution. Whether that self-styled party can control as large a proportion of feminine votes as it professes, or whether there is Poing to be any real, coherent "feminine vote" at all, remains to be seen. The only political parties indorsing its demands is the progressive and prohibition parties. Organizations that are generally supposed to represent a majority of the women voters are opposed to federal action, and disinclined to partisan action of any sort. But just what is going to happen, nobody knows. The surest thing about women, in politics or elsewhere is that you never can tell. And so to the other engrossing features of this spectacular campaign is added the problem of which way the suffrage cat (meaning no disrespect) will jump. The women seem to have the balance of power. If they hang together in any considerable numbers, they may decide the election.

STARVING POLAND. Pres't Wilson's appeal to the rulers of Europe, ask

ing them to help to save the Poles from starving, will meet with two obstacles. One is the recent statement of the Prussian minister of agriculture, to the effect that crops were in tine shape in Poland and there was no prospect of famine there. The other is the knowledge on the part of the allies and the nations friendly to them that any contribution of food to Poland Is really a contribution to Germany. The president doubtless has sources of information more trustworthy than the word of the Prussian official referred to. This view is corroborated by a recent dispatch from Amsterdam, which declares that the crops, which were naturally more limited than usual, have been nearly ruined by bad weather. U may be accepted as virtually certain that hundreds of thousands of Polish civilians, particularly women and children, are threatened with starvation unless the American people and those of Europe who have the means shall come to their aid. That Polish relief is Germany's job is technically1 true. It is a conqueror's business to feed the conquered population, when conquest has deprived it of the means of subsistence. The Germans have been '.censed ox having removed great stores of food from Poland to feea their own armies. Whether they have done so or not. the feeding- of the Polish civilians by outsiders will serve to augment or economize t!iC supplies available for the Germans themselves. Put in a case of such serious need the outcide world cannot afford to quibble over such points. Germany herself now has little food to spare. Poland is hungry. The first duty to a hungry child or a hungry nation is to feed it. The American pefple. blessed with great prosperity, should do their duty, without cavilling and without waiting for Europe to set the example.

the formation of an extensive plan of aerial defense. Alan It. Hawley, president of the organization, has written the following letter to President Wilson: New York. July 19. 1916. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, White House. Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. President: The Executive Committee of the Aero Club of America begs to express its appreciation of the personal consideration given to the matter of developing the aeronautical branch of our land defenses by yourself. Sen. George K. Chamberlain and the ether members cf the Senate Committee of military affairs: Congressman James Hay, and the other members of the House Committee on miltary affairs; and Newton D. Paker, your Secretary of War. Your action in authorizing the formation of the Aerial Reserve Corps, which permits in a very thorough and efficient way, the enlisting of civilian aviators business men, sportsmen, and others who pilot aeroplanes to become part of the national defense, under the supervision of the Army, with the opportunity of keeping up their training and gaining efficiency under the direction of the Army, establishes a policy which enables us to have a body of trained aviators, who are available to meet a national emergenc . The air service of first and second class powers has developed tremendously in the past two years, and to-day there are not less than half a dozen countries having each between 2,000 and 9,000 aviators. If national safety demands that we, too develop our air service until we have thousands of aviators available to meet an emergency, this policy enables the majority of them to be employed in peaceful pursuits, using aeroplanes as vehicles of transportation, for sport, carrying mail, coast guards service, and other utilitarian purposes. The Executive Committee has studied very carefully the provisions of the National Deiense Act of 1915 for the developing of the aerial de

fenses In connection with the land

forces and finds that adequate provision was made in the Act for the practical mobilization of the military end volunteer resources available

to form an extensive plan of aerial j

defenses. j Section 37 and 55 very admirably provide for the direction of the im-j pulses and efforts of patriotic citizens who wish to become, part of the Aerial Reserve Corps, making it possible to form a reserve comprising 296 aviators and 2,000 enlisted men; the Federalizing of the Militia makes it possible to develop the twelve aero corps for the twelve Militia Divisions, on the direction of the War Department, maintaining the standard of the Regular Army; Section 13 provides for the increaseby authorization from you, of the personnel of the aviation section of the Army, the hve increments, providing sufficient personnel to enable the aviation section of the Army to thoroughly supervise the organizing of the Aerial Reserve Corps and tho twelve aero squadrons for the twelve Militia Divisions. The Executive Committee of the Aero club has learned from Sen. George E. Chamberlain, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, and Congressman James Hay, Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, that the

Committees of both Houses approve the proposea appropriation of $ 1 , 2 S 1 , G 6 G for the developing of aviation in the Army and Militia establishing the Aerial Reserve Corps ond providing for developments of a technical nature to increase the efficiency and utility of aircraft. The new Defense Act, therefore, provides most admirably for the im mediate mobilization of the military and volunteer resources to form an extensive plan of aerial defenses. Again expressing our appreciation of the personal Interest you have taken in developing our aerial defenses and assuring you that the Aero Club of America will continue io cooperate in every way possible in the accomplishment of this purpose, I beg to remain. Very sincerely yours. Alan R. Hawley, President, Aero Club of America.

RA'.'K TO . ATI RE. The army which would sever its connection with its base Micht very soon be cornered in a tight and ticklish place. The general who's competent and circumspect and wise Maintains some strong relations with the source of his supplies; For soldiers cannot save their flag from peril and defeat Without the firm support of patriotic bread and meat. Rut man, the bumptious troglodyte, forsakes his native woods And populates the cities in his race for gold and f oods; Forgets the soothing symphony created by the breeze Which plays its masterpieces in the branches of the trees; Adopts a line of living which inevitably serves T . swell the medical demand for specialists in nerves. Come back, come back to nature! It's the best that wo can get; The proudest works of men have not improved upon it yet. Come where the woodland owlet calls the watcher of the night, And let the blithesome chigger stimulate you with his bite; ; Come where the peace of heaven falls like benedictive dew, And where you'll feel rejuvenated, vitalized and new.

A Chicago doctor made a stair climbing record going up to the 16th floor on crutches in minutes and 35 seconds. The Chicago Tribune adds the dynama wa3 out of order. Last right we dreamed Veidun had lalkn and when we awoke suddenly f-und we were sleeping under a quilt. This heat reminds us of one wc heard in oi r youth. One of our gang, visited a town on the other side of the Ohio. The fare was five cents each way and to his youthful imagination he had made some trip. He d dn't want to come right out and say he had been over in Kentucky so he said: "Gre, but she's hot oer the river." After a restless night, during which he tossed and rolled about getting but little sleep, the optomist opened his eyes, gazed about and said: "Thank the Lord, I don't have to go down and fix the furnace." no Ri:i,ir:i Whether it's hot or whether it's cold.

read music with considerable facility, but it is not easy to prove that they have acquired a taste for the accomplishment that leads them to follow it up and to increase their appreciation of the art. Investigation, however, ought to bring some facts to light in this line. Music has been systematically taught in the public schools for a

fcood many years, onie definite re

sults ought now to be discernible. Have many public singers had their first training in the schools? Have any large proportion of other musicians pianists, violinists, orchestral players of any class had their first inspiration there? Have they learned to love music? Has the general liking for music increased? Individual cases give no answer to these questions. It is the same w ith music as w ith other studies. A ttacher may be technically expert in the art and yet be wholly incapable of imparting its spirit to her pupils. It may happen, and often does, that a child may pass through eery grade from the kindergarten to th. nd of high school and on the way ii chance at any time to be under the influence of a teacher able to instill a love of literature while giving instruction in English. Such children acquire certain facta alout writers and their work,without gaining any desire to lecome further acquainted with the writings, yet it will not do to generalize and say that the teaching of Kng-lii-h is a failure. The same may be true of music. It may be possible

j music, but surely the instruction i:iven is not without value.

Tiiu'inxc; music ix tiii; M'IIOOIaS. (Indianapolis Star.) A speaker at The National Education association convention severely criticised the methods of teaching music in the public schools. There is too much attention to technique and performance, he declared. "Too much worthless music is given to children to sing, we involve music in too ruich pedagogical paraphernalia and take the soul out," he continued. Several speakers disputed this tharge. yet in the end virtually admitted that it had foundation when they agreed that school music often bus to be taught entirely !.y grade teachers who are overworked and have insurf.cient musical knowledge. They said the remedy is to require such teachers to be better educated Jp music. Such discussions are not cf much mportance unless proofs can le brought that children actually do or do not profit by the instruction in uusic given them in schools. It is
