Prof. DR.. Lszendorf, of Vienna,
has apparently taken up in down.

of the superiority of blondes over

Black haired people, he says. are
money earners and brutal oppressors.
Prof. Lszendorf's statistics show
that 80 per cent. of the gamblers,
swindlers, usurers and murderers
are dark-complexioned. He notes
with grief that dark.haired people
are getting money and expressing

urging the fair.haired contingent Of

A New Ridgway Magazine.

Adventure is the name of a mes
magazine issued by the Ridgway
Company, publishers of Everybody's.
The first number has just appeared,
and while entirely different in char
acter and scope from Everybody's it
possesses the same appeal to live
readers and manifestly has the same
energy and sincerity behind it. l..
is chiefly devoted to fiction, with a
few articles to vary the contents.
The title has been interpreted
literally, and for the purpose of the
magazine it includes stories of the
adventure spirit in finance, love,
politics business, end dozen other
fields, as truly as in treasure-seeking
or detective PROV s.. With 1873
pages of good reading, including
the beginning of a big serial By
Gouverneur Morris, yellow Men
and Gold" the new magazine starts
with high promise Of success.

Politics and pants may seem to
lack any special literary kinship, but
you'll have a fresh point of view
when you read the November Every
body's, just out Emerson Hough
discusses the latter in an eXcruciat-
ingly funny article in which he calls
on Congress to take up this subject
of universal Importance instead Of
trifing with the petty questions that
cumher the deliberations Of House
and Senate. Frederic G, Howe, in
Choose Your Congressman" goes
after the same Congress, by way If
one of the most practical, useful
political articles published for long
time He shows voters how they
cen help to clean up Congress this
fall. why they should do it, and how
we shall all be profited thereby
when it is done
Furthermore, the article gives
you the record of every Republican
Congressman on certain important
test votes, and puts the facts square
ly up for observation

SURPRISE TO LUHRING
Prosecutor Says Evidence
Does Not Justify Death
Penalty.

The Crippen verdict was a great
surprise to Prosecutor Ray Luhring
who has watched very closely the
progress of The interesting case.
The local prosecutor did not expect
an acquittal but was almost certain
that the sentence would not be as
severe as that imposed by the Lon
don jury yesterday.
1t is my opinion that il would be
wrong to hang 4 man on the evil
dence as it was given in the trial, )"
said Mr.. Luhring. Lawyers have
discovered that it is hard to get a
man hung against whom there is
only circumstantial evidence. How
ever circumstantial evidence when
well connected is sometimes as
with jury as is indisputa-
BILE evidence. This case was one of
the most peculiar on record. In my
mind the circumstantial evidence
was far from being strong. The
motive may have been established
but there was no indisputable evi-
dence that the body found was that
of the supposed victim. There have
been stranger verdicts, but l believe
this is vne of the most unexpected
on record.
