WEST VIRGINIA.
Continued from Page One.)

THE manufacturing industries of
West Virginia." said Mr.. Parker, "are
comparatively unlmportant when con.
sidered in connection with its large
and cheap supply Of high grade fuel,
so that probably more than 20 per
cent Of the coal mined in the state is
shipped away to support manufacture
ing industries In other states"
The coal production Of West Virginia
in 1909 was 5~1,S49,22O short tons, val
ued at $44,sGt, 7t6, against $41 Q 7,S43
tons in 1908 valued at $4,000, O54. The
average price in 1908 was 95 cents IL
ton. declining in 1909 TO Sc cents. IN
1906 West Virginia outranked Illinois
a coal producing state by 1,S10,24G
tons, owing to strikes in Illinois. In
1909 for the second time West Viz
ginia outranked Illinois, but only by
tons. In 1910 West Virginia
again outranked Illinois and Is now
firmly In second place MS n coal pro-
state, but with the value Of It's
much reduced because Of its
lack of home industrial consumption.

From the far east there comes a

Mr.. Bailey boldly charged that the
war on Mr.. Lorimer had been unrelent;

fort had been not so much to convict
%wrongdoers as to destroy Mr., Loriraer.
The Illlnolsan was held up as q man
possessed Of all the private virtues,
and the Texan declared that more than
the tetimony Of the confessed bribe.
takers would be necessary to convince
him OF corrupt practices on tie part Of
Mr.. Lorimer.
In connection with his presentation
Of the lawg features IN the case, nj.
Bailey gave what he declared to be the
practice Of the senate in yacating seats
holding on senator responsible for acts

~ SIT~
rNTREP1DLY facing an irate army
OF brunettes recruited from every
state in the union. Professor c.
q. Elwood, Of the University OF Mis-
souri, is calling for backets to fight
beneath the banner Of the blondes,
or war is on between the professor
ind the dark-hnired beauties. because
ie declares that men love blondes the

'wenty members OF Its senior class
Rho have recently announced their
engagements. for there Is only one
&londe In the lot.
But, as I said before, Professor
1lwood is from Missouri, and sticks
~:efactousiy to hts belief In the fair
iaired woman.
In the real stage drama the hero
ne Is almost always blonde, with
baby blue eyes" although OF the
itage blue eyes are not SO popular al
!ray eyes, SO l am told.
But. OH the other hand, the bleach
I'd blonde is the type men point out
Is the "villainess' Of the great city,
md the maiden with the soft brown
lair' has been beloved Of noyelists
or many years,
So the pros and cons line up, and
:oloring or character has become the
rooted question OF the hour. +
One man even advances the theory
hat coloring makes charpcter-that
he blonde is fair-mindcd. often ner-
fous. but dependable and that gray
yes are the one to trust.
Light biue eyes, he says, denote
weakness Of character, and brown
yes show less brain power than black
mes, but the latter are apt to betray
! %treacherous nature.
Such all argument brings up still
mother theory that perhaps we might
:hange' II character by changing the
color Of our hair.
But there. enough OF such foolish
Tess: | have yet to find a mar who
lad a definite ideal Of a woman,
Even the old belief that dark men
tked fair women and vice versa Is
iisprovcd by the love matches Of to-
lay. and the really charming woman
$ the one whose personality Is strong
enough to eliminate In the minds OF
Ter friends all recollection of her
lctual looks.
This is by no means an easy thing
o accomplish.
Looks In n woman are the things
which first attract. Lovely hair, dim
'les perhaps-a soft laugh, and a
:harming costume will catch the eye
ind for the moment seem important,
But II to this charm Is not added
The deeper attraction of a sweet ma
:ure and a clever brain, the looks
Will not hold either a or woman.
So you see, after all. character must
freak the coloring. and since the brun-
:ttesf have undoubtedly the strongest
personalities 1t would seem as II the
blondes may have more admirers and

Whether brown hair should be a type
