CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-"Wear short

girls today when told that Andrew
Carnegie had declared Scottish girls
long tresses to be unhygienic.
Some of the young women went so
far as to say that Carnegie was "an
old thing" for suggesting that germs
might be lurking in a woman's tresses.
Mr., Carnegie's proposal was called
SILLY" absurd" and Outrageous by
several Chicago physicians today They
refused to entertain for a moment the
idea that long curls make fine resting
places for germs.
at seems to me-" said Cornelia j.
Dolby, member of the board of educa-

Such things as this proposal by Mr..
Carnegie only help make people un-
happy and encourage fear where there
is no danger.

the growth of microbes Cleaniless

DR.. W. S. Harpele, one OF the school
inspectors for the board of education
also branded Carnegie's program as
one of no use and impossible to ac-
complish. In his opinion an order from
school authorities enforcing short hair
would bring on rebellion that would
involve the entire city.

INDIANS PEOPLED ASIA
Interesting Theory Advanced BY One
Who Has Given Subject Much
STUDY
Special to The Herald.


OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 11.-Few men
know the American Indian better than
l.. o. Armstrong, chief of the Cana
dian Pacific railway colonization de-
partment, whose work takes him into
the out-of-the-way places of the do
minion. Mr.. Armstrong strongly holds
the theory that the Asiatic peoples
originally migrated; that they WERE
in fact, descendants of the tribes now
known as American Indians He has
illustrated this claim by dressing Jap
anese in Indian costumes and Indians
IN Japanese costumes, and then chal-
longing people to distinguish between
the two. He points to the announce
ment that M. K. Jesup, president of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, is about to publish the results
of elaborate investigations into the
question as to whether America peo-
pied the world. The Investigations
conducted for seven years by prominent
ethnologists of America and Russia
are said to show conclusively that the
Aslatlc peoples came originally from
this continent and that the primitive
culture of America was transplanted
into Asia and then into Europe, to be-
come the civilization of great historic
peoples.
81 have great many curious evil
dences of this in notes that / have
collected from time to time" said MIR.
Armstrong. "I promulgated the idea
in the play of 'Hiawatha, which I
dramatized and staged. That play is
intended to depict Indian life before
the arrival of the white man. The
theory first occurred to me through
the striking physical resemblance be-
tween the Ojibway Indians and the
Japanese, and also by the fact that
the ojibways have the same totem
as the Japanese, which is a crane
standing on a turtle. There are many
other proofs. For instance, in neither
the Ojibway nor the Japanese lam
guage are there any swear words.
The social position of the woman in
both Is the same. She has little voice
In the management of domestic mat
ters, but is a worker"

persecution and could hope for Moth
