The reason lies in thé fact that his loss of hair was deter mined by heredity. . \ WOMEN SELDOM LOSE IT Women seldom: lose hair as do the men and complete baldness is practically never seen in women. Most of the experts in the field of - heredity are likely to say that hair growth {s determined by our con- stitution and that the factor in the constitution which is responsible is in the glands. They say that ordin- "ary baidness can be inherited just through a single gene in men and through two genes in women, The genes are those little elem. ents in the cells which determine our characteristics." The explana- tion seems to be that a man with two baldness genes will have sons _ all of whom' will be bald, and if his wife happens to have two baldness genes, some of their daughters also "will be bald. if the man has only one baldness gene, one or two of his sons will be bald. lf, however, the genes for baldness are absent, none of the children will be bald.

"Denture Club" Montreal Workers Needing' False Teeth Join in Co-opers ative Effort to Get Them -- A "tooth. club" is the newest 'twist to the popular co-operative movement in Montreal, and if you ask any of its 30 members they'll tell you it's a success=~though 10 of them have aching jaws and & set of false teeth or the way. A year ago'a group of Iverley community centre workers decided they. sorely needed false teeth. They lacked, sufficient money so decided on a co-operative effort. Their dite sion -of ways and means to obtain the teeth on mea- gre incomes led to organization of the Denture Club. Members agreéd to deposit 50 cents weekly "at a centre office. When Dr, James Dance heard of the scheme he volunteered to pro- vide sets of dentures for the mem- bers at basic cost. He went fuc- ther and gave centre clubs a ser- fes of lectures on dental health and' care of the teeth. ; £ :~ An Extraction Party -- It looked just like a Christmas party when the 10--nine women and a man--gathered at nine o's clock one morning. But there was a line of hospital cots for the patients while they came out of the anaesthetic. The "operating room" was behind 'a screen at one end of the room. The first patient, a woman, came out of the ether and asked: "through 'puckered lips: "Are my 1 teeth really out?"

NTARIO 7 UTDOORS By VIC BAKER ~ WAR AND WILD LIFE During. a recent discussion on™{- Ontario's annual fall classic, the" «pheasant shoot at Pelee Island, we learned with. great Interest that the pheasant is playing a_ part in Eng- land's Air Raid Precaution system by means of which the heart of the Empire fs protected during these war times, - A letter appears in a British out: door publication as follows: "In these days of substitutes, why not a few: pheasants instead of the much-maligned A.

As ono of the latter and a keeper of the former, 1 am relying on my birds, both by day and night, to warn me when it is time to stop patrolling the village and to take . to cover, By way of war work the pheasant farms, Instead of closing . down, could be turned on to pro! ducing vast numbers of these nat- ural sirens. A cock, with a hen or two for company, penned at say half-mile intervals in the gardens of our towns, would cost the rate- payer less money than wardens, -and possibly have lass bricks thrown at them."

Baker, chief ereamery in- structor for Ontario, told the re- cent 'Western Ontario Dairymen's convention that a provincial gov. ernment program to improve the quality-of cream and butter will be continued with greater effort «this year. "We plan to do more work with the producers in 1940," he said, noting that in 19039 the instruc- tion branch concentrated more on, dperations in creameries. PROPER GRADING OF CREAM Among suggestions he offered dairymen in a co-operative scheme to better quality of cream and butter were proper grading of all eredm with payment to be made actordingly and the holding of short courses for cream haulers to educate them as to proper meth. ods of carving for (ream on the farm; In connection with licensing of ecreameries, Mr. Baker said the dairy branch "did not feel incline. ed to hurry creameries into mak- ing improvements, but neccessary changes must be completed before 1940 licenses are granted." During inspections for 1940 cer- tificates, approximately 57 per cent of ercameries were approved without having to make improve- ments, he said.
