NOME. ALASKA, JUNE 22, 191).
Another phase of the American way of
doing things crops up in the recent re
fusal of a recruiting officer in Chicago '
to accept the enlistment ot a man who !
wanted to take a hand In the hunt for j
Mr. Villa, on the ground that he was ,
bald.
Tlie officer in question, one Lieutenant !
ulatlons did not permit him to accept
bald headed men on the first call for
recruits. By way of further extenuation,
he added that the underlying reason for
refusal of tills particular recruit was
that it was warm along the Mexican
border and, as baldheadcd men might be
come affected by the heat, they were
eminently undesirable for such service.
There was nothing otherwise wrong
with the would oc recruit, as was at
tested by the fact, that after being re
fused on the score of his lack of hair,
he immediately secured a wig and re
turned to the recruiting office. After an
examination he was accepted His de
ception was discovered, however, before
he had been sworn in and he was again
rejected on the score of bald headedness.
Whether the army regulations really
bar bald headed men or not, we do not
know but, in any event, it appears that
things are being brought down to a
pretty fine point when a healthy, able
bodied specimen of humanity is put down
as undesirable for army service because
of the mere lack of a bunch of hair on
his upper story. This is capping the bald
headed man's woes with a vengeance.
Also, in the absence of professional opin
ion that a bald head is a valid reason
for refusing a prospective recruit, one
cannot help but feel that such small dis
tinctions borders on the ridiculous. It Is
admitted that the hairless individual
usually mukes a pour showing alongside
of his hairy brother when it conies to
appearances. Also lie is somewhat at a
disadvantage when it comes to making
an Impression on the fair sex. But. that
his lack of hairy adornment should bar
him from serving his country, when he
is just aching to fight somebody, is noth
ing less than adding cold blooded insult
tu the bald headed man's other troubles.
That the mere possession of a shining
dome should be a sufficient reason for
preventing the wearer from Joining the
army would hardly be thought possible
did not the example mentioned show that
it is indeed a fact.
However, if the Chicago officer is quoted
correctly, there is some hope for the baid
heads as he says that regulations would
not permit of their acceptance on the
first call for recruits. This would indi
cate that they might be accepted on the!
second or third call. In other words,
when they cannot get any one else, he
will be allowed to exercise his patriot
ism by Joining the army. It may not
be very gratifying to the hairless ones
to know that bald heads are only second
or third choice but it at least saves a
complete loss of self esteem to know
that one can get in sometime, provided
that the stock of long hairs is not greater
than the demand.
