[By Associated Press.l


AUBURN. Cal. Nov. 1S,-From the
line Of questioning introduced at the
Alma Bell trial this morning it is evil
dent that self-defense will be one of
the defenses of the girl charged with
the murder of Joe Armes.
If the contention that the pistol used
by Alma Bell exploded accidentally
while she was trying to protect herself
will not conflict with the other defense
of temporary insanity that will be
used in an endeaVor to clear the de-
PENDANT of the charge.
There were no developments in the
case today of a sensational nature. The
self-defense plea is a new feature of
the case that was commented upon to-
day.
Alma Bell is now receiving money
from outside sources. She received a
stack of thirty letters yesterday and
fifteen more today, many of them con-
tanning money orders.

Hair Color Heredity.

Heredity of hair color is discussed
by Gertrude and Charles Davenport
In the American Naturalist As re-
CARDS the nature of the coloring, the
authors consider that there are prob
ably two main types of pigment in
human hair, one reddish-yellow,
which finds its highest development
in bright red, and the other a Sc
pia-brown, the intensity of which
ranges from light yellow to dark
brown and black. AS the result of a
combined study of both eye-color and
hair-color, the writer's. finally arrive
at the conclusion that two parents
with clear blue eyes and yellow or
haxen straight hair can have children
only of the same type, no matter what
the grandparental characteristics
were; that dark-eyed and haired, cur
ly-haired parents may have children
like themselves, but also of the less
developed condition. In the latter
case what the proportions of each
type will be is, for fairly large fam
lily, practicable by study of the i'm
mediate ancestry"

Why Not Sane Wedding Festivities

The friends of a newly-wedded pair
in Burlington, VT, thought it would
be a good joke to hire a truckman
to block the way to the station and
prevent the couple from boarding the
train to go on their wedding journey
The truckman carried out his part of
the program when the wedding party
approached the station, but the car
riage containing the newlyweds was
being driven so rapidly that col
lison seemed imminent. To avert this,
the driver refined the horses to one
side and thereby collided with a tele-
graph pole, wrecking the carriage and
injuring both the bridegroom and the
driver. The case affords a fair ex-
ample of the foolish and dangerous
pranks INDUCED In by thoughtless
merry makers at weddings. 1t is time
that an organized crusade was made
for safe and sane Spring
