HUGE CO|FF FURESARE
AGAIN IN FASHION,
HA|RDRESSERS SAY
National Convention at Chi
cago Decides Upon More
Rats, Puffs,. Etc.

Milady's ,hirsute adornments will be
In greater contrast than ever to the
shining pates Of mere men in Washing
ton during the coming fall and winter
seasons as the result of a decision
reached at the Chicago NATIONAL Con-
vention of Hairdressers yesterday. The
convention reversed the theory that II
would follow in the steps Of a previous
national convention held In Chicago
and standpatters. but the progressiyes
won out on their platform for more
hair"
Hair, hair. and then some more
hair" will be the slogan with which
local bellies must start the cooler wealth
er If they would remain in the realms
of appropriate and sanctioned fashions.
Local hairdressers have already sig
nified their intentions Of abiding by the
ruling of the convention. In. fact a

on the conventions edict.
Means More Money.
We'll make more money" was the
first ejaculation of most of the local
hair adorners when asked their opinion
of the decision making for the freak
mountains and peninsulas Of hair for
milady's fall and winter Uranium. Prob
ably that explains the motive at the
bottom OF the decision.
Must mean that a prospective change
is on, but then the miliners who make
the girls hats will have something to
say about the style OF coimures.' said
Mis- Katie Dunn, the well-known F
street milliner. During the past win
ter and spring months the women have
been wearing very little hair In fact
the less hair worn the better. The
style of coiffure Is usually decided the
latter part Of August or Septembet for
the fall and winter at a meeting OF the
milliners and hairdressers. OF course
a great deal of hairdressing depends
on the style Of the hat worm"
Women Look Better.
Miss X. Dougherty, who keeps
another fashionable parlor where the
aristocratic hair-wearers go. frankly ad'
mitted that she was glad such a de,
cision had been reached by the Chicago
convention.
women look much better with false
hair and we hairdressers will make
more money" said Miss Dougherty
Women ruff their hair too much anG
spoil 1t when they are compelled by
fashion to eliminate the use of false
hair.
The false hair is neither Injurious tc
the wearer or less comfortable. Any
one with artistic temperament will agree
that the large coiffures look much
better"

WHOM WOULD YOU
CHOOSE ASFATHER?
Minneapolis Minister Declares He Would Prefer Robust
Burglar to Consumptive Bishop-Question Has
Influence in School Work

II you could choose a father, which
would you prefer. a robust burglar or
a consumptive bishop? The Rev. DR..
Samuel George Smith, of Minneapolis.
startled the Eugenics Congress in ses-
sion in London by saying that he would
prefer the former.
Eugenics authorities in Washington
have taken up the question raised by
DR.. Smith, but from a different angle.
Louis II. Zinkhan. superintendent of
the Washington Asylum Hospital and
on the question, would like to see the
schools Of the country adopt the sys-
tenn Of developing the weak spots In
children.
Perfect the Imperfect.
sMr. Zinkhan is Of the opinion that
grand results can be accomplished In
the schools and institutions by the
adoption OF such a method. He says
that all children should be given a
scientific examination. and the weak
spots ascertained. Then II should be
the efforts OF the schools. In addition
to drilling the mind, to make perfect
the imperfect parts or develop them
as much as possible.
The superintendent does not believe
that because a child's father was n
burglar, the child will necessarily In
herit the fathers traits. He says much
depends upon the mother and the en-
vironments. II the child is brought ur
properly 1t may not follow In the
footsteps Of the father.
According to Mr.. Znkhan. because a
child's father Is consumptive bishop
or a consumptive man in any other
walk OF life. 1t does not follow that the
offspring will be a consumptive. Mr..
Zinkhan says that much depends In this
case on the mother. the environments,
and the physical development in early
life.
First Offenders Cases.
To illustrate his point that wonderful
results can be obtained by finding alb
normal parts and developing them in
children, Mr.. Zinkhan pointed out an
institution in New York State where
first offenders are taken and thus ex-
perimented with. This institution has
proved a grand success.
Willet NJ. Hays, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Department of Agricul-
ture and an authority on plant, animal
and human life, says the world today
Is beginning to realize that the study
Of eugenics should be more general. He

CONGRESS AGAINST
THE COINAGE Of
HALF-CENT PIECE
Vigorous Opposition Suffi-
cient to Kill Plans for
New Coins.

Congress, for this session at least, will
probably turn a deaf ear to the appeals
for a change in the coinage law which
will authorize the coinage Of scent
pieces and 1a-cent pieces.
The question is now up before the
Senate Finance Committee, but that
committee Is not showing much enthusi-
asm. The Treasury Department. is in
clined to be against the plan.
The real opposition, however, comes
from the manufacturers of automatic
machines Of various sorts. These in
clude cash registers, and vending ma
chimes or automatic machines Of all
sorts that operate through the use of
coin In the slot. Street railway in
terests are ,Iaiso fighting the proposed
coinage. thdhEh they are doing 1t under
cover. III
Oppose New Coins.
The Bureau of the Mint has been
flooded with letters of opposition to the
proposed new coinage. Director Roberts
has had opportunity to learn about more
sorts of automatic machines operated on
the penny-in-the-slot principle than he
ever dreamed of before. The proposal
to change the coinage has brought pro-
tests from all varieties of manufacturers
of slot machines.
The argument advanced by the manu-
facturers of such machines, or those
interested in them In one way or
another, Is that they have been made
to conform to the existing coinage, and
that to introduce new coin, such as
Scent piece, would cost them heavily.
They would have to revamp their ma
chimes so that the Scent piece or the
h-cent. or both, could be used.
No Change Desired.
Some Of these machines have been
perfected to an extreme degree. For
instance. not long ago the Mint Bureau
was considering a change in the design
on the nickel or scent piece. 1t was
not the intention to change the size or
the dimensions. A protest came forth
with to Mr.. Roberts from the manu-
facturer of an automatic machine repre-
senting that II had been so perfected
as to detect any substitute for the
nickel. such as a slug or bogue coin.
have the design on thee nickel changed.
Some of the newspaper publishers are
reported at the Treasury and the Capt.
tol to be opposing the h-cent piece on
the ground that 1t would lead to the
half-penny newspaper.
The arguments for the Scent piece
and the h-cent piece are In part based
on the idea that they would be in the
interest of economy and cheaper living
Impetus for the movement FOR the g.
cent piece proceeds from cities having
Scent car fare. Against this. the street
railway argument Is that 1t would COM
plicate the troubles of the conductors
for Scent pieces as we'll as dimes and
nickels.

Today Is Anniversary
Of Reciprocity Denial

Twenty-one years ago today the Ca
madam house of commons rejected a
motion in favor of unrestricted reel

twenty years, had been resurrected in
the United States.

Charity Workers Urged
To Attend Convention

Because there will be many features
OF interest to sociologists and charity
workers in the forthcoming congress on
hygiene and demography, Invitations to
attend II are being sent out today to
sociologists and charitable organizations
all over the country. The latter are
being asked to name delegates.
Attention Is drawn In the Invitations to
the close relations which exist between
social workers and public health Off
cials To charity organizations which
cannot send delegates II is suggested
that they enroll so as to receive copies
of the proceedings of the congress.

says the interest now being shown in it
Is really remarkable
Mr.. Hays would like to see eugenics
and atavism taught in all the schools
He believes that young folk should
know something of the lives of the an
cestors OF their loved ones and friends.
Prefers Robust Burglar.
DR.. Smith, who stirred London by his
remarks. is quoted as saying:
III l were to choose my own father
I'd rather have a robust burglar than
consumptive bishop. So long as wom-
en- love strength and men love beauty,
mating upon the terms Of preference OF
human instinct does not go far wrong.
Society suffers more from the vices
Of the rich than from the vice of the
poor. We may say they will not permit
poor to breed, but how can We deal with
those who defy society by wealth, social
position, and power? What the world
owes to inyalids would prove material
for one of the most remarkable treatises
ever written. I am not sure that for in
tellectual efficiency some little abnor-
mality Of the flesh is not almost pre-
requisite"
Washington school officials have a eu-
genie system, but Il goes no further than
an examination of a child to see what
its physical defects are, and then recon-
mend that 10 take the treatment.
BY persons interested in the study of
eugenics and atavism in Washington II
is hoped the public schools will soon
adopt system OF correcting physical
defects after they are found. and not
depend on others.
