Justice to Franklin.

Philadelphians love TO set forth the
fact that there were written two of
the most notable literary achievements
of the world, the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Constitution OF the
United States, both of them remark
able for fine literary quality, for pre-
cision of statement. for lucid presenta-
ton of facts. for logical arrangement.
But 1t is possible, so II has been
unkindly suggested. that they do not
always remember that neither of these
important productions was written by
Philadelphia. But to anyone who
may make Il suggestion 1t may with
justice be said that the Auto
biography" of Franklin. one OF the
few great autObiographies of the
world. was written by Philadelphian,
and also his Poor Richard" and other
world-famous works.

a blonde, if she once sets her mind to it,
I'll prove it, and don't want any salary
for Eve plenty of money of my own"
So young and lovely Mrs Mooers, "the
most striking blonde in all California, with
eyes the shade of Colorado lake and
hair the color of Klondike nugget" has
set out to prove the general belief that
brunettes were made for love and vam-
pires. and blondes for ornaments and
chums" completely erroneous.
1t is interesting to observe that Mrs.
Mooers, in furthering her ambition, has
science in her favor and science against
her. Professor w. B. Mooney, chief Of the
extension department of the Colorado
Teachers College, not long ago completed
series of Investigations into the charac-
feristics of the blonde and brunette woman
~hich have been generally adopted as con
elusive in many leading universities
throughout the world Professor Mooney
found that blondes are inherently sharper,
shrewder more combative, and more likely
to fight for their rights and hold on to
their property-masculine or material
than the brunette. He founded this con-
cluslon upon a research into the very
origin OF blondeness the prehistoric
peoples of the North These peoples had
to struggle for their existence against a
harsh climate; they had to fight for their
food against an improvident nature; their
women were not pampered and petted, but

made to carry their share Of the tribal
burdens, to master all the arts of trickery.
subtlety, and quick-wittedness by which
their tribes overcame the rigors of cold
and famine.
THE blonde woman will hold her man
against all Odds" says Professor Mooney
in his book, Mental Measurements"
"even il she has to fight for him to the
death. In the first days of her existence
she had virtually to trap her man, because
the men of her tribe always were hungry,
and hungry man seldom has thoughts OF
love. She learned to bait him with such
wiles as were hers to fall back upon, and,
having baited him, she held him in a bond
age as firm as iron.''
So far science is on the side Of Mrs
Mooers. For the vampire first must bait"
her man, and then she must hold him until
she is ready to sunder his fetters and cast
him aside
But, on the other hand:
The brunette" says Professor Mooney
"descends from the women of the warm
countries Her tribes had food in abun-
dance-they merely had to pluck it from
the trees, or finger in the earth for it.
Their life was largely idleness-relieved
only by their intertribal clashes. The
woman Of these tribes soon discovered that
her sex enabled her, by various artful prac-
tices, to influence the men to bring her
food to her, sparing ner the necessity

OF the most valuable accomplishments a
woman can have" said Mrs. Mooers, "the
power to make her man love her. Why
is it that all dramas, appealing daily,
as they do to millions and millions of our
new generations. have to create the i'm
preston, gradually but certainly, that only
a dark-haired woman-a brunette-can
make the man she is interested in love
her? It's ridiculous. OF course, the vam-
pire uses her power with sinister intent
But it is the same power every woman
wants to WELD, the good woman reserving
it for the man she wants to marry, or the
man to whom she is married. But if this
'brunette-only-vampire idea continues to
be drilled into our impressions, men grad
ually will come to think that the only
woman who can arouse and feed the
emotions is the brunette. I'm going to
prove that idea all wrong"
And so Mrs NoOers, with many, many
more millions than she has had days OF
experience, went to New York and said to
the great motion picture producers there:

vampire? Such thing does not exist"

returned, that blonde is the greatest Of
all vampires when she turns her abilities
that way. No brunette who ever lived,

hunting for it. She traded kisses for a
meal, and lured her man by coquetry, in
which she had plenty of time to become a
master"
SO the brunette was given to coquetry
and kisses-as any vampire must be. Here
science is against Mrs. Mooers.
In summing up his observations, Pro-
fessor Mooney says: "a brunette weeps
quicker, screams easier, and caresses
oftener than does a blonde; a blonde is
more self-possessed in an emergency, more
Unconditional as concerns the tendencies Of
her heart, and when she does kiss she
makes that kiss count"
Mrs. Mooers agrees wholly with this last
observation of the learned scientist. That
is just the difference between a blonde
vampire and a brunette one" she says.
The vampires We are accustomed to, the
black-haired ones, kiss much and often:
To kiss is their second nature. They
would rather kiss than say thank you
Their caress is endowed with more Of art
than sincerity
But with the blonde it is different

but seldom. but when she does kiss, her
soul goes with ii. When she turns her
head toward n vampires goal, she has
more in her one kiss with which TO lure
her intended victim than has a brunette
in score Of her caresses."
Mr.. Mooers is quite willing that his
charming wife expound her theories upon
the screen, but there are some of his rela-
tives, millionaires like himself, who are
not. So there was a bargain made-Nrs.

your congregation entitled "The Land

the text, "And thou shalt be Cypress

to the News for publication.
The address deals with the Jews,
past, present and future, and is the
most insidious piece Of anti-Semitism
under the guise Of friendship that |
have ever read. Based on misinterpre-
tation-your own Interpretation and
that Of medieval bigotry-you are at
tempting to keep alive in your COM

who follow you the prejudices Of past
centuries, attributing to God Almigh-
ty the narrow-minded passions Of
those who can not tolerate any form
Of faith other than their own. You
have twisted the sacred text to tit
your conclusions, to the end that all
persecution and oppression of the Jew
ish people is justified There is no
other deduction TO be drawn from

Dr. Jabow tells many interesting
stories Of submarine attacks. On one

they had two attacks. On another trip
