ARE 81 ONDES INFERIOR?

Blonde women in Chicago, Judges of the
courts and superintendent of two insane asy-
lums disputed the statement Of Maj. Charles
f. Woodruff. surgeon in the United States
army, that blondes are morally and physically
the interiors of brunettes. They also attacked
his assertion that blondes make up a greater
portion of the population of jails and similar
institutions.
DR.. Woodruff reached his conclusions after
he had completed an inspection of the prisons
and asylums in New York state and city. He
declared these institutions in New York are
full Of blonde persons who, owing to their per-
vous temperament, are unable to struggle for
existence in a climate to which they are uu.
fitted and have fallen into poverty, disease
and crime.
DR.. Woodruff contends that the excess of
sunshine in America breaks down the nervous
system OF blondes, morally as well as phys
ically, and makes them peculiarly liable to the
ravages of consumption and other deadly all
ments.
"Such may be the case in New York. but 1t
is not so in Chicago" one angry society wom-
an, who Is a pronounced blonde, declared. 81
am sure we are just as good and some of us
better than the brunettes. Our divorce courts
will show that"
81 will have to deny DR.. Woodruff's the.
ory," declared Judge Theodore Brentano. "In
the first place, you see, Mrs. Brentano Is a

ideas. In my experience on the bench, al
though ! have not paid any particular atten-
ton to the complexion of the prisoners before
me, / believe there have been as many dark
persons sent to jail as blondes, II not more.
"As to divorces, l am sure l cannot say
whether most of those who figured in them
were blondes or brunettes. I think they have
been about equally divided"

II do not see why difference in complex

Dunning and the state hospital for insane at
Elgin, failed to uphold the theory of DR.. Wood
ruff.
"Of course ! cannot state positively on
hand whether there are more blondes than
brunettes confined in this institution" said
Supt. White of Cunning. 81 do not think.
however, that there is any difference in the
numbers. / will say, though, that | have found
the light-complexioned inmates inclined to be
of more nervous temperament than the dark
patients"
at may be true Of the jails and insane in
stitutions in New York" commented DR.. Pod
stata, superintendent Of the state hospital for
the insane at Elgin, Ill. 81 have not found
such to be the case at this institution. There
are as many patients here of dark complexion
as there are blondes"
OF 253 convicts in Clinton prison, whom he
he observed, DR.. Woodruff states that 10 had
very light hair, 81 had light brown hair. 81
dark brown hair and 112 had darker shades.
The doctor maintained that this is far
above the true average of blondes. or nearly
5000 men admitted to the Elmira reformatory
DR.. Woodruff found 31S blondes, 80 with red
hair, 103 with sandy, 1908 with light brown
hair, LAC with dark brown hair. 1,406 with
black.
He concludes that unless the blonde Amer
lean finds some better means Of survival than
he has at present he will be wiped out, as q
type, in favor of the brunette.

Home in Sun for Hartman

A physicians prescription which costs $780,
900 to fill may seem a bit high, even in these
days of luxury, but IL you happen to possess
more millions than you have fingers and toes
and then a good many more you may not
mind the expense any more than e II. Harri-
man does.
Several months ago the fnancier's physi-
clan decided his patient was not getting
enough sunlight and so he prescribed a sola-
rum, or sun room, on the top OF the new Har-
riman home, at Fifth avenue and Sixty-ninth
street, New York. The 6nancier looked at the
prescription and turned it over to his archi-
tect, Grosyenor Atterbury, 20 West Forty-third
street. Mr.. Atterbury. In turn, called in julius
Peabody, one of the cleverest of his staff, and
together they drew the plans.
The solarium will occupy the entire top Of
the house and will comprise a sunroom. two
bedrooms. two bathrooms and a sitting room.
Each will be SO arranged that It can practi.

that rain will be excluded and air permitted
to enter In event Of bad weather. Then. by
an arrangement of shades and blinds the suns

will be kept even.
The sunroom proper will extend across the
Fifth avenue side of the building and will b

Central park, the effect will be that OF 9
greenhouse, as the entire side will be Enclosed
with windows. Along the Sixty-ninth street
side will be a dozen windows opening into the
sunroom, sitting room and bedrooms.
In the center of the sunroom will be a sky

rooms as In the center. At tne sides the walls

One of the novelties will be an interia,
porch. This will be built on the Sixty-ninth
street side of the sunroom and will be 14xs
feet. 1t will be such a porch as one might
frd at the entrance to a summer house and
will permit a view of Sixty-nlnth street and
Central park and a bit Of Fifth avenue. As
the sun apartments are SIS feet above the pave

A Tomato Entree.

A delicious entree served at an in
formal luncheon was a tomato pie.
The tomatoes are sliced and quar-
tered, then stewed with plenty of
butter, salt. pepper, paprika. Q few
drops of onion juice, and If the to-
matoes are very sour a little sugar.
When cooked pour the mixture into
a baking dish and cover with a rich
puff paste. Bake until a delicate

may be served in individual dishes

be taken that the dish is not too

cered and manned by the u. S. army and the
national guard Markers and scorers were fur
nished by the army, a regiment being detailed
for duty at the range. Teams entering the
national match either subsisted themselves or
were subsisted at the mess hall.
Congress appropriated $12, 1000 for the
messing" OF competitors during the national
matches.
Each competitor was entitled to a cot and
mattress and necessary camp furniture. such
as stool, wash-basin, water-bucket, tin cup,
broom, ETC., and ample teltage was furnished,
all through tn" courtesy of tho state of Ohio,
Compe .itors supplied their own blankets and
bedding other than mattresses.
A careful estimate of the number of men
at Camp Perry for the matches included 100
regular army officers, 1000 enlisted men,
u. s. A., team contestants and officers, 900;
national guardsmen not attached to teams
and civilian rifle club members 800 to 500:
brigade, o. N. G., 500.
The prize list at the matches at Camp
Perry was very attractive to rihemen. as the
money was largely In excess of any hereto
fore divided and the prize lists were much
larger. In the national team match the
prizes were as follows: Glass A. $3.50. $3.50,
5000 and $3.50; Glass B., $3.50, $3.50, 1925 and
5000; Glass G, $500, 5000, s175 and $3.50. In
addition there was a trophy for each class
and every member of the twelve teams re-
eeived a medal. In the national individual
match there were 80 prizes, amounting to
$3.50, with the same number of medals. In
the du Pont tyro match, shot under the aus
pieces OF the o. s, r. A, the prize money
amounted to $500, divided into AZ prizes. The
Ohio matches carried from four to ~ or more
prizes. AS the matches of the National Rifle
association were conducted on a percentage
basis a great amount Of money was divided
and the number Of the prizes in the big
matches was large. In some of the great in
dividual matches, like the Leech cup match,
the total prize money Appropriated 5000 and
more. All the entrance fees less the actual
expense Of operating the range were returned
10 the contestants in the N. II. A. matches
For the national matches Congress furnished
the prize money.
With a few exceptions the press champion
ship trophy for rifle shooting, which is con-
tested for each year at the national rifle
matches, is the only big trophy of its kind for
which newspaper men strive as representa-
uyes of their publications and not personally.
There are many working newspaper men who
are members or ex-mem of the national
guard and not a few have seen service in the
army or navy and in the Spanish war. Among
them are some excellent shots, and while the
restrictions surrounding the Press cup are
such as to prevent members of state teams
from competing and thus the lumber of con-
testants is curtailed, the contest is always
keen and It takes q good score to carry on
