RED HEADS, READ THIS.

II may be consoling to light-haired
and red headed people to read that
out of 165 patients at an English in
sane hospital only one has red hair,
and only four have light hair and
complexion.
It used 10 be supposed that a pale
complexion specially marked ten
dency to mental excitement and brain
disorder. The statistics, however
show this to be an error. What Is
true of men is also true Of women;
they are, with one exception in fifty
dark haired and dark-hued. 1t Is
sometimes the case that the hair
turns white with insanity. Probably
the reason arose from this fact The
reason why dark people are more
clined to mental disorder has not
been explained.

Every year in Cmatilla county and

general attitude here in regards to the
expected reply from General Carranza,
chief of the Constitutionalist cause in
Mexico, to the note the South Amer
lean mediators sent hrm last Tuesday

In some quarters there was more or

evident some believed Carranzas re-
Spouse would be negative but it was
hoped it would leave open the door
for continued correspondence. Semi
official statements in regard to the

of good offices practically renewed by
the mediators.
