ROTARIANS OF

GREAT FROLIC

tons and gatherings in the last TWEEN
ty years, but none that | have en-
joyed as much or from which | de-
rived the same uplitt or good as that
in Atlanta Friday, was the way Ro-
tartan Joseph Perkins sized up the
state Rotary meeting in Atlanta
which was attended by thirteen mem
bers of the local club, accompanied
by four Americas women. Others
who made the trip were as enthus-
iastic as Mr.. Perkins. All declared
it to have been a delightful trip,
and to have given them a new IN
sight into the heart of Rotary and
the hearts of the men who compose
Rotary. There was fun and frolic,
but the serious side of the gathering
impressed all of them most.
The Americas party was headed
by President "BilP' Dykes, and con-
sisted of the following other mem
bers: Vice-President J. E. Hightow-
er, Frank Lanler, Carr Glover, Love

Deyo would sing, which she did, ac-
companied by Mrs. johnson. Her rich
and full baritone, so unusual in
women, made great hit. Miss Deyo
was followed by Mrs. Taylor who re-
ceived prolonged applause with her
suffering song. The Atlanta pa

DOlNGS OF THE BOY SCOUTS
OF THE AMERICUS TROOP

The regular meeting of the Boy
Scouts was held Friday night in the
Chamber of Commerce, and it being
the first regular meeting since our
return from camp, many important
items of business came up for con-
sideration.
The devotional part of the meet
ing was in charge of Scout Master
Johnson. The attention of the
Scouts was called to the rule of the
Scout law forbidding profanity and
Scout Master Johnson gave the fol-
loving re; sons why boz should net

BLONDES DYING
OUT IN AMERICA
Big Wars Gradually Eliminate
Northern Types, Says
EthnoIogiSt.

New York-The blondes are doomed
as a result of the world war!
They will he swallowed up-racially
by the brunettes.
Real blonde Americans are becom-
ing fewer. American women are tend
ing to a neutral type, with brown rath-
er than golden hair and brown eyes
instead of blue. This fOreShadows
the triumph of the still darker bru-
nette type In America, where the old
strains of northern European blood are
being swallowed by the later immigra-
ton to this country. Soon a blande
beauty will be an exception, and
american beauty" will mean the Span.
ish, French or Italian type.
Such is the prediction, expressed in
scientific language, Of course, of Madi-
son Grant, trustee Of the American
Museum Of Natural History and coun-
cilor of the american Geographical SO
ciety, who has made a study of the
effect of the war, superimposed on cen
turtles of slow progression on the part
OF the brunette, in his book, 1.-THE Pass
ing of the Great Race" published by
scribner's, .ls 81
Makes Matters Worse.
The world war, he says, has made
matters worse for the blonde because
1t is the blonde Nordic element in all
peoples that invariably makes the
greatest sacrifices in war, while the
less energetic brunette element
energies from each world struggle
stronger in number than before.
Up to the middle of the nineteenth
century the native American, Mr., Grant
points out was the almost purely Nor
die. The Civil war destroyed a large
part of the breeding stock of the
blonde races and the immigration
since then has been largely from the
Mediterranean basin and the Balkans.
Mr. Grant believes that the destruc-
ton of life of the blondes in the pres
ent war has been so immensely great
err than that of the brunette that a
great step has been taken in wiping
out the blonde type.
THE world war will leave Europe
much poorer in Nordic blood he says.
He points out how the blonde race
has been absorbed by the brunette all
over the world, and cites the Aryan
conquerors Of northern India, who i'm
posed their language and customs on
the natives, but were swallowed up
in the darker stream of blood
He thinks that the same thing will
happen in the United States, and that
the only hope of a relatively pure type
of blonde community is in northwest
Canada, which because of its climate
is suitable for the blonde types and
unsuitable for the brunettes.

Deacon First Shocked by Sep

Rock Island, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-The good
people of Rock Island are not especial
ly ..sot' against dancing, but they have
not yet arrived at that plane of aes-
thetic culture which tolerates the gam
boiling of woodland nymphs, clad only in
scintillating moonbeams, amid the
towns glades and deIs.
Recently a number Of young women
here became inoculated with the craze
for classic terpschore, distinguished
from other forms of dancing chiefly by
an absence of clothing and other con-
ventionalalities.
Hence it was that dignified deacon
of one of the towns leading churches
had his sensibilities shocked severely
last night when, on CHANGING to look
from his window, he observed three

bush to bush in what was afterward des-
cribed as Dancing to the Pipes of

ations in the interest Of getting legal
evidence, but no matter The upshot
was that he rudely stepped into the

Washington, Aug. 18.-It was
the unanimous opinion Of Amer

treaty provision giving Japan
control in the Chinese province
Of Shantung, the senate foreign
relations committee was told to-
day by Thomas F. Millard, an
American writer, who was at

delegation.
Because the United States
government intimated it would
be inexpadient, China refrained
from raising certain questions"
at the peace conference, MI.
Millard testified.
He said he got his information from
the delegates whom he ADVISED un-
officially" He did not go into details
about the questions China might have
raised He said however, that some
Chinese official wanted to employ two

Washington. Aug. 1S.-Sccretary Bak
err defended, today, before the senate
sub committee on military affairs, his
recommendation for an army of 5I6OO0
men, by saying that in view of the dis
turbed conditions in the world" he did
not wish the responsibility of asking
for a small force.
Secretary Baker Indicated several
times that the bill as presented. including
it's provision for compulsory universal
military training for 10 ear-old younths.
was that of military experts rather than
his own, altho it had his approval. He
said that his own guess" was that an
army of $4,000 was perhaps somewhat
larger than necessary, but that he did
not wish to take the responsibility of
opposing the opinion of the country's .
military men.
Regarding the provision for mainten-
ance of three divisions in the insular
possessions, the secretary admitted that
the force appeared to him somewhat
large and agreed to the suggestion of

native troops might be used to advant-
age.
The secretary also considered as worth
while a suggestion that part of the
youth of the country might be given the
opportunity for naval training, possibly
as substitute for the training he other
wise would receive in the army.
The Interrogation of the secretary of
fered the opportunity for securing his
opinion on the proposed establishment of
an air ministry.
Difficulty would be experienced, Mr..
Baker said. in maintaining the proper
coordination under separate heads and
if more adequate air service is de-
sired. he suggested it would be more
practicable to utilize the existing military
organizations.
The testimony developed that the Unit
ed States now has 1OT1s aeroplanes of
which. however, only 3.32S are service
planes. The major part Of the present
equipment now is obsolete but. it was
asserted by the secretary the types are
