Dunning and the state hospital for insane at
Elgin, failed to uphold the theory Of Dr. Wood
ruff.
"Of course cannot state positively OF
hand whether there are more blondes than
brunettes confined in this institution" said
Supt White Of Dunning. 81 do not think
however that there is any difference in the
numbers. will say, though. that have found
the lightcomplexiQned inmates inclined to be
OF more nervous temperament than the dark
patients"
1T 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, III. II have not found
such to be the case at this institution. There
are as many patients here OF dark complexion
as there are blondes"
or 253 convicts in Clinton prison. whom he
he observed. DIR. Woodruff states that 10 had
very light hair. 81 had light brown hair. 61
dark brown hair and 112 had darker shades
The doctor maintained that this is far
above the true average OF blondes. OF nearly
5000 men admitted to the Elmira reformatory
DR. Woodruff found 3lS blondes 30 with red
hair l03 with sandy, 1903 with light brown
hair 1,449 with dark brown hair l.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 a
type, in favor OF the brunette.

ARE BLONDES INFERIOR?

Blonde women in Chicago. judges OF the
courts and superntendents OF two insane asy-
lums disputed the statement OF Maj. Charles
Il. 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. lie
declared these institutions In New York are
full OF blonde persons who, owing to their ner.
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.
cally, and makes them peculiarly liable to the
ravages OF consumption and other deadly all
ments.
Such may be the case in New York, but II

that rain will be excluded and air permitted
TO enter in event OF bad weather. Then, by
an arrangement OF shades and blinds the sun S
rays may be governed SO that the temperature
will be kept even.
The sunroom proper will extend across the
Fifth avenue side OF the building and will be
4Sx35 feet inside measure. Looking up from
Central park. the effect will be that OF a
greenhouse, as the entire side will be inclosed
with windows. Along the Sixty-nnth street
side will be dozen windows opening into the
sunroom, sitting room and bedrooms.
In the center OF the sunroom will be sky.

ing will not be as great at the sides Of the
rooms as in the center. At the sides the walls
will measure 10 feet six inches.
One OF the novelties will be an interior
porch. This will be built on the Slxtynnth
street side OF the sunroom and will be 14xS
feet. IL will be such porch as one might
fiEd at the entrance to a summer house and
will permit a view OF Sixty-ninth street and
C-Vtral park and bit of Fifth avenue. AS
the sun apartments are 65 feet above the pave
ment the view will be magnificent Moreover,
the air at this distance from the pavement is
free from dust and exceptionally fresh.
It is the idea to make sort Of conserva-
tory out of the porch. Plants may be grown
here and 1t Is likely many rare blooms will be
cultivated. Enough sun will be admitted to
develop orchids and ripen grapes. AS a heat

the hot suns of summer burn them, for the
shades and blinds may be drawn and the cool

Hartman can practically live out Of doors
among the most beautiful of flowers II he
chooses. He can have all the sun there is
without leaving his home and he can take the
freshair sleeping cure II he sees fit. With
the skylight and windows open he will be out
of doors to all intents and purposes and far
enough from the street to sleep undisturbed
by city noises. Even the air from the park
will suggest the country.

the application was refused on grounds
OF illegality by New York State Super

company is. however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
