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
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 it
is not so in Chicago" one angry society wom-
an, who is a pronounced blonde, declared. Il
am sure we are just as good and some Of us
better than the brunettes Our divorce courts
will show that"
Il will have to deny DR.. Woodruff's the
ory," declared Judge Theodore Brentano. I'm
the first place, you see, Mrs. Brentano is
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 I 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.
Gas to divorces, I am sure I cannot say
whether most of those who figured in them
were blondes or brunettes. think they have
been about equally divided
Mrs. Theodore Brentano, wife of the jurist,
expressed the sentiments of her husband.
Il do not see why difference in complex
ion should have anything to do with moral
ity," she declared.
I'm my experience in the criminal court
and as police magistrate have tried hun
dreds of men and women" said Judge George
Kersten. "The charges ranged from disor-

Ankony well enough to be sure he
would have it out with Barbara in

with all the ambitions that her family
should have had and hadn't; so that
her way is rather a difficult one to
make, since the Ankonys are just TAX
ing their first society steps.
AS I glanced toward Mrs. Ankony's
box, heard the bishops sister begin
to speak to the bishop fof widow of
charitable inclinations and large
means whom rumor says she is anx-
ious he shall marry. I could see that
she believed firmly in plentiful re-
minders.

and Barbara to me. There was,
thought, glimmer of something like
relief in her eyes. I know her eyes
very we'll indeed, and sn not usually

moved my chair close, as if I meant
to stay. The fluffy sleeve of her gown
touched my coat. 1t was a white
gown, and Barbara is adorable in
white-or, to speak more accurately,
if that delightful state has it's de-
grees of comparison, she is superla-
lively adorable in it.
do you care for the prima donna,
Mr.. Twining?" she asked.
"The prima donna?" l repeated
vaguely.
"There is one, you know" she said
with one of her laughs that am par

to appear so distraught."

ear.
The ear and the cheek next to me
grew very rosy. Barbara sat up with
great dignity and looked out over the
| parquette, as if it had been neglected,
like the prima donna.
Ankony, I telt, could cheerfully
have run me through, but I looked at
Miss Winstan)ey and took courage.

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
greenhouse. as the entire side will be inclosed
with windows. Along the Sixtyninth street
side will he dozen windows opening into the
sunroom, sitting room and bedrooms.
In the center of the sunroom will be sky.

glass heavy enough to Withstand the most So

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 As de-
grees, the distance from tho floor to the cei%

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 14xd
feet. It will be such porch as one might
aEd at the entrance to summer house and
will permit view of Sixty.ninth street and

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 bs
cultivated. Enough sun will be admitted to
develop orchids and ripen grapes. AS a. heat
ing apparatus will be installed the chill blasts
of winter cannot injure the plants Nor can
the hot suns of summer burn them, for the
shades and blinds may be drawn and the cool

messing OF competitors during the national
matches.
Each competitor was entitled to cot and
mattress and necessary camp furniture such
as stool' wash-basin. water-bucket, tin cup,
oroom' etc, and ample tentage was furnished,
all through the courtesy of the state of Ohio.
Competitors supplied their own blankets and
bedding other than mattresses

at Camp Perry for the matches included 100
regular army officers, 1000 enlisted men.

and civilian rifle club members, 300 to 500:

The prize list at the matches at Camn
Perry was very attractive to rilemen, 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.
$500 and $3.50; Glass B. $3.50, $3.50, 1925 and
$500; Class c, $500, 5000, SITS and $3.50. In
addition there was a trophy for each class
and every member Of the twelve teams re-
celved medal. In the national individual
match there were 80 prizes, amounting to
$500, with the same number of medals In
the du Pont tyro match, shot under the aus
plces OF the o. S. r. A., the prize money
amounted to $400, divided into ~ prizes. The
Ohio matches carried from four to u or more
prizes. AS the matches of the National Rife
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 approxmated 5000 and
more. All the entrance fees less the actual
expense of operating the range were retul ned
to the contestants in the N. R. A. matches.
