It goes further. Pracâ€" tical musicians exhibit not only much of a. proportion of baldness as we Would expect, but more variations, for, 85‘. than would be expected. There is a ‘ science, if nota method. in instru~ inenta-t liairlessness. Players of the.

The military landsmen are [illillt\‘ in a parlous state. One announcer of this .winentalile theory has diagnoth a regular disease. that he calls the “fanfare. baldness."
