Like all other wars, the Balkan con-
fiict has been the cause of many ro-
mantle tragedies, and not the least pa
thetic Is that of Servian named Mi
lossavlevitch. Before the war he lived
at st. Louis, where he was betrothed to
the girl OF his choice.
When war was declared Milossavle-
witch felt his heart stirred by feelings
of patriotism and hastened across the
Atlantic to enroll himself under the
Servian banner. He passed through
all the battles until he fell, dangerous
Iy wounded, on the field of Monastir.
Meanwhile his devoted sweetheart
in America, grieving at his departure
became a prey to dependency. Some
weeks ago she died. having made a
will, in which she left all her money
to her fiance. The news of her death
reached Milossavlevitch as he lay In
hospital at Monastir. The blow was
too much for him; he had no desire to
outlive his intended bride. and not
long ago he breathed his last. He was
holding a photograph Of his sweet
heart In his hand.

is Sleep Only a Habit?


That more than six hours sleep In
twenty-four is only habit, and bad
nabit at that. is the contention of a
Brooklyn physician who comments on
the alleged experience Of an unnamed
Harvard professor in successfully sub
stituting sort of trance state for the
genuine article.
During his professional life Of more
than half century the Brooklyn doc
tor declares that he has never slept
more than six hours day, has never
made UP for lost sleep. has gone en-.
tirely without sleep for two weeks at
a time, continuing his labors just the
same, with only such snatches OF
sleep as he could take while walking
or driving on the road or in the
streets while visiting his patients. He
holds that sleep is function Of the
ego or the personality rather than OF
the brain or body; that as rule zone
who sleeps the most works the least, y
and that for continuous work the
brain needs nutrition rather than
sleep"
All of which may be quite true in
the doctors case. but his experience
is exceptional. IL not phenomenal

New Treatment for LockIaw.

ey DIR. Adolph H. Urbar. of Brooklyn,
who used new method never tried

of the recognized antitetanus serum

The case reported by DR.. Urban IS
that of five-year-old boy, Oliver Pink

playing in the earth of his yard. In
a short time he developed commissions,
and finally the rigidity that is usually
a precursor of death. DIR. Urban de-
cided to resort to heroic measures.
The child apparently did not re-
spond for several hours; rigidity and
intense depression continued. Sud

effects OF the treatment. and the I'M

iEREDITY SEEN IN THE HAIR
some Views on the inheritance Of the
Color of the Covering of
the Dome.

i when examined under the micro
,jcope human hair discloses two
Kinds of pigment, and only two, red
iish yellow and sepia brown. These
Two coiors are independent factors in
aeredity and may occur separately or
In combination. Whites Gertrude C.
Davenport in the Independent The
yellow seems to be a diffuse pigment,
pat the brown occurs in granules or
specks. The size and number of the
granules, as well as the intensity of
the pigment, vary In differently col
bred hair. The intensity of the yell
how pigment also varies so as to form
different shades OF red. while CON-
bination of red with brown gives some
of the more sober shades OF red hair.
When. the brown pigment is intense
1t forms black, and II red be present
In such cases it is completely covered.
RED hair is best seen when brown
is absent. and when two bright. red
haired people marry all their children
will have red hair. for there will DO
no brown pigment to cover It over.
On the other hand when a black on
very dark brown haired person OF I'M
mixed origin marries another with
red hair, none of the children viii
have red hair, but II the dark haired
parent in such union has red hair
In his ancestry, then half of the chill
|dren will have red hair. When there
lis red hair In the immediate ancestry
of both parents. although both may
have dark hair, then few OF the
children -three-sixteenths. in the long
run-will have red hair"
TN the blond-to-black series We
find that the intensity of the hair
color in the offspring does not exceed
that Of the darker parent. Thus two
blond-haired parents have only blond
haired children The parents cannot
transmit what they themselves lack
When one parent has faxen hair and
the other light brown. then so per
cent of the children will have hair OF
light brown shade. When one par
emit has dark brown or black hair and
the other light brown, then about half
OF the children will have dark and
half light brown fair-that IL to say,
half in population OF some size. In a
family of only two children it would
be possible to have one dark and one
light haired child. but this would be a
very rare chance indeed. The collec.
ton and Interpretation OF statistics OF
hair color are complicated by the fact
that the hair Of the young Is frequent
ly much lighter than In adult life.
while the hair of the adult, when
mixed with gray. Is not infreauently
