Science Has Numbered
Fairs on Human Head
| The number of hairs on a
| head varies somewhat with race, oli
mate, age, health, and hair color, Dr.
Arthur Selwyn Brown, writing in Pop-
ular Mechanics Magazine, says there
are about 1.200 hairs per square inch
on the head of a middle-aged man, and
160 per square inch on the face,
“A woman with black hair”

black-haired person usually has
thickest hair and the blond the finest,
“The
head of any
woman is about
ordinary
110000, while =a
blond has 150.000, and a red-haired
woman only 30006. A woman's hair
is heavier and coarser than a man's
and it grows longer. The average
length of hair of women of the Anglo.
Saxon race is from eighteen to thirty
inches, and that of men be’ ween six

Disposal of Property
Calls for Cool Mind
When raking a will, one 1s advised
to consult a good lawyer, for the rea:
son that a slight legal flaw, such as a
nonprofessional Is likely to make,
will invalidate an otherwise perfect
instrument. It is good advice to say
that no one should make a will un-
less and until he has definitely de
cided in his own mind what he wants
his will to accomplish, A will ought
to be a deliberately planned act. “He
ing sound in mind and body” 1s a
phrase used in thousands of wills to
indicate that the testator knows what
he is doing. But even more valuable
it would be for the testator to say:
“Being sound in mind and body, hav.
ing carefully deliberated, bearing no
il will toward any one, and not be
ing in haste, 1 do now make this my
Ingt will and testament.” Don’t make
a will when you are in a hurry, when
you are angry, or when you are sick.
