fted-headed people, as is 'well known, are less subject to baldness than others. A London ddctor explains the matter thus:— The hair of the red-headed is relatively thick, one red hair being almost as thick as five fair or three brown hairs. With 30,000 red hairs the scalp is well thatched, whereas with the same number of fair hairs one is comparatively bald. It takes 160,000 fair and 105.000 brown hairs to covfef adequately ah ordinary head.
