Uh-uh! Many a good natured chap becomes mighty touchy about he's ribbed about cheating the barber. But being irritable about something no one can do anything about, only makes matters worse. Life is just a series of readjustments. People don't think anything of wearing store teeth when the necessity arises. Why, should a man's better nature get the best of him where his hair—or lack of it—is concerned?
