A wu statement extolling the virtues of bald-headed men has been flung to the world Mr. Harry H. Curran, Deputy Mayor of York, says Nat Gubbins in the "Sunday Express,"
In reply to a woman who demanded his help in a campaign against baldness "for the good of humanity," he said, "What's wrong with being bald? Bald-headed men are happier, more intelligent, kindlier, and more tolerant than other men.
Taking him up point by point we will ask ourselves, "Are bald-headed men happier than other men?"
This may best be answered by another question, "How could baldness contribute to anybody's happiness The fact that bald-headed men often laugh a lot (on the other hand, some never laugh at I) is no indication of happiness, It may be at €or a moment they have forgotten their urement, or that they are gallantly laughing in the face of a mocking world.
Again we must answer with another question, no scientific support for the theory over-active brain drives hair off the head, though the wide expense of uncovered scalp gives false impression of unusual intelligence to the unthinking.
Any way, the presence of a large proportion of eggheads among the directors of Big Business throws down the intelligence theory with a bump.
