Badness Is UnknoWn
In Full Blood Indians
Absence of Scalp Trouble Due to Fact They Do
Not Wear Hats or Use Tonics, Say
Those Who Know

I seen about 80, oO9 Indians Of vaFious tribes
and nations" he asserted, but There was
not q baldheaded one in the bunch. In
dians don't get baldheaded for Two rea-
son. They don't wear hats and they
don't use hair tonics."
Representative Charles ID. Carter. OF
Oklahoma who Is seven-sixteenths Chick
asaw and Cherokee Indian, and who was
born at Boggy Depot. Choctaw Nation
asserts that he had seen slightly bald
headed Indians. But then Representative
Carter has seen many unusual. not to say
remarkable, things prominent among
which was a red-halred Indian answering
10 the name of Gibson Thomas" This
brave, he asserts, was a Comanche. He
was full-biood. not having a drop OF
white blood in his veins, despite his IT,
tian characteristics
Tt is very unusual" said Representa-
tive Carter. ''for an Indian to be bald
headed. know of several who are
slightly affected upon the top OF their
heads, but even they had fringe Of per-
fectly good hair. One is Ia-to-tubby.
who is a Chickasaw and who lives near
Tishomingo. Chickasa Sim. a Choctaw
Is also slightly bald. He lives close to
Goodland
Peoples with very coarse hair are not
prone to badness as a rule. Neither
are persons who do not wear hats. 1t
is to this reason that attribute the
scarcity Of scalp trouble among Indians.
Rev. Father Ketcham. asserted that
he has seen many Indians. but never
oaldheaded one. In twenty years
work among the various tribes said
Father Ketcham. Il have never seen a
baldheaded Indian I am OF the opinion
that Indians are descended from Malays
and badness is infrequent among Malay
and Mongollan nations. For instance.
never saw q baldheaded japanese Then,
Indians do not wear hats, and nature

STEALS $50 FROM BEDSIDE.
Bold Intruder Robs William
Keitley as He sleeps.

Gaining entrance with a duplicate key,
a thief in the home of William 4. Keit-
ley, 735 Thirteenth street southeast, be-
fore daybreak yesterday morning crept
to the side Of Keitley's bed and stole q
purse containing SD from under the
pillow on which the sleeping mans head
reclined.
without disturbing Keitley or awsk-
ening other occupants Of the house. the
intruder quietly left the premises, ap-
parently content with the money, as he
stole nothing else. He left no clew by
which the police can trace him. Detec-
tives from the Central Office and police
OF the Fifth precinct are investigating.
There Is a theory that the thief is the
man who has been committing apart
ment house robberies in various parts Of
the city for several weeks without leav-
ing a clew to his Identity, but little Gre
dence is given this belief by oficials.
when Keitley reported the robbery he
admitted II was one of the most re-
markable. that he had ever known.

Pauw Men at Delta Kappa
Epsilon Banquet.

Renewing old ties, viscount Chinda
Ambassador from Japan to the United
States, spoke at the annual banquet
OF the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity
at the New Raleigh last night. He
was a member OF the fraternity at De
Pauw University. GreencastIe, Ind
from which he graduated in 1881. After
his return to his native country he be-
came entirely out of touch with the
fraternity. and it was not until last
night that he had an opportunity of
again meeting old friends.
Like many other japanese boys at
that time" said Viscount Chinda, II
came to America TO take a collegiate
course. 1 chose De Pauw University
because my tutor in English at home
had been a graduate OF that college.
When first came to this country did
not know of the existence OF Greek
letter fraternities. but when. in my
first year of college life, learned that
the leaders IN all branches of college
life were fraternity men. ] was proud
and happy when / was invited to be-
come a member OF the Delta Kappa Ep-
silon.
I lost touch with fraternity matters
when I returned to Japan. and tonight
is the first time since my return TO
America that have had an opportunity
to meet my old friends and 10 renew
my old college affiliations"

was held just prior to the banquet. Lee

Something as scarce as hens teeth
has been discovered in baldheaded In
dians. baldheaded. full-blood In
dian is something that, so far as can
be determined. does not exist. The
only Indian that hasn't a full crop Of
hair is a scalped Indian, and he doesn't
count, because he is a dead one.
Such was the assertion yesterday OF
two United States Senators and one
Representative. all OF whom have In
dian blood In their veins. Their state
ments were backed up by, Rev. William
II. Eetcham. director OF the Catholic
Indian missions, who, in twenty years
of close association with the red men.
has failed to discover q baldheaded
specimen.
Senator Robert L. owen, Of Okla
homa. who Is a member OF the Chero-
kee Nation. and who has lived among
Indians all his life. his mother hay-
ing been a Cherokee. declared yester-
day that he never saw a baldheAded
Indian. "Of course" said Senator Owen.
Il know of cases where Indians have
been snatched baldheaded by other
unfriendly Indians, a hatchet being the
instrument with which the operation
was performed. ! never saw a live
Indian with a bald head. however. I do
know of some with very thin hair, but
none who are bald.
II attribute this to the fact that the
Indian does not wear a hat. Persons who
20 without hats are not apt to lose their
hair, and neither are people with strong
vitality.
Mature protects human beings and all
animal and plant life. and hair is the
natural protection for the head against
both heat and cold, especially against the
rays of the sun"
Two Reasons Why.

is one-fourth Indian, also declares that
