Dunning and the state hospital for insane at
Elgn, failed to uphold the theory of Dr. Wood
ruff.
"Of course cannot state positively off,
hand whether there are more blondes than
brunettes confined in this institution" said
Supt. White of Dunning II 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"
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, Ill. 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"
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. OF 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, 1,449 with dark brown hair, 1,A06 with
black.
He concludes that unless the blonde Amer.

he has at present Se will be wiped cut, as

ARE BLONDES INFERIOR?

Blonde women in Chicago, judges Of the
courts and superintendents of two insane asy-
lums disputed the statement of Maj. Charles
E. 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 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 rer-
vous temperament, are unable to struggle for
existence in a climate to which they are un-
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 we'll as phys
1cally, and makes them peculiarly liable to the
ravages of consumption and other deadly all
ments.
"Such may be the case in New York, but it
is not so in Chicago" one angry society wom-
an, who is a pronounced blonde, declared. II
am sure we are just as good and some of us
better than the brunettes. Our divorce courts
will show that"
II will have to deny DR.. Woodruffs the
ory," declared Judge Theodore Brentano. I'm
blonde. Judging from the standard in my
home do not think much Of DR.. Woodruff's
ideas. In my experience on the bench, al
though l have not paid any particular atten-
tion to the complexion of the prisoners before
me, believe there have been as many dark
persons sent to jail as blondes, if not more.
"As to divorces, am sure cannot say
whether most of those who figured in them
were blondes or brunettes. I think they have
been about equally divided
Mrs. Theodore Brentano, wife of the jurist,
expressed the sentiments of her husband.
II do not see why difference in complex
ion should have anything to do with moral
ity," she declared.

cally be made an open-air room, or so shielded
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
: 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-ninth street
side will he dozen windows opening into the
sunroom, sitting room and bedrooms
In the center of the sunroom will be sky
light 12x12 feet. This will be constructed OF
glass heavy enough to Withstand the most So
we're storms and so arranged that It may bo
opened or closed. The idea is to keep it open
in pleasant weather that air may be admitted.
AS the walls from the cornice to the main
fiat roof project inward at an angle of IS de-
grees, the distance from tho floor to the cei1'
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 Sixty-ninth
street side of the sunroom and will be 14xS
feet. 1t will be such porch as one might
NEd at the entrance to a summer house and
will permit view of Sixty.ninth street and

the sun apartments are IS feet above the pave
ment the view will be magnificent. Moreover.

It is the idea to make a sort of conserve
tory out of the porch. Plants may be grown
here and it is likely many rare blooms will b
cultivated. Enough sun will be admitted to
develop orchids and ripen grapes. AS q. heat
ing apparatus will be installed the chill blasts
of winter cannot injure the plants. Nor can

$780, with the same number of medals. In
the du Pont tyro match, shot under the aus.

amounted to $400, divided into ~ prizes. The
Ohio matches carried from four to IL or more
prizes. AS the matches of the National Rifle
asscc1auon were conducted on percentage
basis 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 Gun match
the total prize money approximated 5000 and
more. All the entrance fees less the actual
expense of operating the range were retul ned
