BEWARE OF THE RED HEAD.
Ancient Traditions Ascribcd Misfor-
tune to Possessors Of Sun Kissed
Locks

Salute no red-haired man nearer
than 80 feet off" runs an old French
proverb, 'and even SO. hold three
stones in the fist wherewith to defend
thyself."
From Biblical times TO the present
day can be traced the prejudice
against red hair. Never lodge at
haired peoples houses" runs
precept in the fifteenth century "Boke
of Curtasye," for these be folke that
are to drede" According to one ira
dition this distrust of red haired pee-
pie dates from the time of Judas,
who himself red-haired, caused
treachery to be ever afterwards con-
nected with hair of that color.
Shakespeare alludes to this belief.
Says Rosalind, complaining OF her
lover, His very hair is of the dis
sembling color" Whereupon Celia
answers her: Something browneI
than Judas Marston, too, in "The
| Insatiate Countess" makes one of his
characters remark: Il ever thought
by his red beard he would prove a
Judas. s4a
In Sweden prejudice against red
hair was very strong; here its con-
nection with treachery was twofold
for the traitor, sAshjorn, who pa-
trayed Canute, possessed red hair. III
Germany, also, red hair met with
scant regard The short In stature,
says a German proverb. "are natural

any means extinct at the present
time.

poor housing and often insufficient
food-which some of them endure, has
had many an anxious moment over
their welfare. One such woman was
so concerned that she founded stu

E..ziia1f OF RADIUM.

One Ton of II Would Equal In Power
100000 Tons Of Coal.
II one could utilize the energy of a
ton of radium through space Of thir-
ty years it would be sufficient to drive
ship Of $1,000 tons, with engines of
1900 horsepower. at rate of fifteen
knots throughout the whole thirty
years. To do this 100000 tons of coal
are actually required. says the Chicago
Tribune
These are not fanciful figures. for the
energy is there, though. as a matter of
fact. 1t is unlikely that man will ever
produce much more than half an
ounce Of radium a year.
Still, the fact Is important for this
reason-that science is convinced that
the radium in radium bromide is not
the only element which possesses this
marvellous store of energy, but that the
calcium in gypsum and the sodium In
common salt contain also this energy
content.
The evidence Of the wonderful atomic
energies in the common elements of
everyday material is rapidly accumu-
lating, and scientists are Of the opinion
that perhaps these same discoveries
may in time alter the whole future of
the human race.

knowledge does not come by travel.
Because it helps them to get better

Because the doctor tells them they
ought to.
Because it gives them the illusion
of superiority and furnishes them with
