One Merit in Red .Hair

It Is a curious fact that red-haired people
are far less apt to go bald than those with
other colored hair. The average crop on
the head Of a red-haired person Is only
1920 hairs. Ordinary dark hair is far
finer and over three dark hairs take UP
the space Of one red one; 1850 are about
the average. But fair-haired people are
still better of; 100000 to 100000 are quite q
common number of hairs on the scalp Of a
fair-haired man or woman. A curious
calculation has been made, to the effect
that the hairs on the head Of fair-haired
person, II they could be plated together
would sustain a weight of something like
eighty tons. equaling that Of 500 people,

CHARGED WITH BATTERY
Ravens Kept the Children and Is Now
in Trouble

Susie Hill, who resides at Fifth and San
Julian streets, applied to the district at
torney's office yesterday for a complaint
against George Haven, whom she accus IS
of having stolen her two children.
Her story is a long one and is full of pa
thetic incidents. Eighteen years ago she
commenced living with Haven. and UP to
about six months acted the part of
wife to him. During that time she bore
him two children. About six months ago
Haven took up with handsomer woman
and short time after married her. He not
only deserted his former mistress for the
new woman but also took the children to
live with him. Shortly after being deserted
by Haven, Susie fell Ill and was out Of her
mind for several weeks When she recov-
cred she hunted up her ex-guardian and
found he was not treating the children In
a proper manner. She decided to take them
home with her and had little or no trouble
In getting them to CO.
Haven was not TO be deprived Of his off,
spring in any such manner. and COM
menced proceedings to recover possession
Of them. Susie Hill responded, and when
the case came to trial Haven did not ap-
pear and the children were awarded by
Judge Allen to the mother.
A few days ago Haven again stole the
children and now has them in his possess
sion. When Susie and a friend named Boy
den went down to Haven's place yesterday
to inquire about the children, the latter
knocked Boyden on the head and threat
ened to kill both II they ever came around
again. A complaint was issued. charging
Haven with battery and as soon as the
charge is settled action will be commenced
to compel him to abide by the order Of
court giving the mother the children.
Haven is a milkman and is said to reside
near Alhambra avenue on Washington
street.
He was arrested last night on complaint
of Boynton on a charge of battery, but was
released later upon $25 cash bail, which was
supplied by his employer.

TWO BLACK SHEEP
DORM AND HIS BLONDE BELONG
TO RESPECTABLE FAMILIES
HEARD FROM IN ALBUQUERQUE
Claims He Left Home to Seek Employ
ment in New Mexico-Mrs. Dorm
Very Bitter

Mrs. Edward r. Dorm, the wife of the
rascally and shameless fireman who fed
from this city to parts unknown on Sunday
last. was yesterday seeking a new place of
residence. She is forced to leave the home
at 1855 Georgia Bell street because of
Dorns arrearages in rent and consequent
notice to vacate.
Mrs. Dorm states that her husband has
long been cruel TO her, administering an
occasional beating when just in the mood
for it and always being of cross and irrt-
able disposition during the little time he
spent at home. The wife had for months
suspected him of intidelity, but her accusa-
lions were always denied by him and sub

Red Cross

Mrs. D. G. Stevens and Mrs. e. s. Pattee,
who have been In San Francisco some weeks
in the interests of Red Cross work, are ex-
pected home today. On the report these
ladies bring from the state association and
the local society Of San Francisco will
doubtless depend the future fate Of the Los
Angeles branch. There is no work being
done. but few names added daily. to the
membership list, and, unless some new
phase Of the emergency arises. Red Cross
headquarters will probably close before
many days.

explained away. Dorm told his wife of his
intention to depart on Sunday morning last
and she went to the train with him, to-
gether with her daughter and little son.
Mrs. Dorm noticed the blonde beauty"
who Is supposed to have accompanied Dorm
and saw her get on the train, but did not
associate the circumstance with her hus-
bands departure until afterward.
Dorm told his wife that he was going to
New Mexico to accept a position there and
substantiated this statement with letters
of introduction from a prominent Los An
geles railroad man to New Mexico people.
He promised to write and send the wife
money from time to time, and on Monday
Mrs. Dorm did receive a telegram from
him informing her that he would arrive in
Albuquerque that night. No letters or
funds have since been forthcoming. Mrs.
Dorm is exceedingly bitter toward the de-
ceiver and all circumstances tend to show
that she has merely been dupe. There is
little doubt that Dorm was attracted to the
marriage with the wife he now deserts
more by her money than by her personal
attractions, she being about twenty years
his senior. Her capital being exhausted,
he sought fresher and more novel toy,
ana unQlnS what sdtlSueQ MIN was 100 In
fatuated to give 1t up.
Dorm and his blonde" are well matched,
according to report. They are both the
black sheep of respectable and well-to-do
families. The girls father is said to be a
wealthy manufacturer in or near Phoenix,
Ar!z., and Dorn's widowed mother is a res
ident Of Los Angeles and was at one time
very prominently associated with the city's
educational institutions. She herself has
often spoken Of her son Edward as "thc
black sheep"
Mrs. Dorn's daughter. Miss Eva Shocks,
is employed in the Peoples store and now
becomes her mothers sole support. The
wife states that under no circumstances
will she have anything more to do with
Dorm.
