fine hair, fine eyebrows and lashes.
Fine hair also denotes love Of refine
ment, great love of beauty and inter
est in art.
Golden Hair Nervous.
Golden hair, varying in tint, shows
its possessor to be capricious in affec-
lions, nervous, sensitive and rather in
clined to be touchy in regard to mat
tiers of trivial nature. She is rather
inclined to sulk when her wishes are
opposed and sometimes makes herself
extremely miserable without any real
cause.
Pale hair and that shade usually
called mouse-color are signs of color
less natures. A pale-tressed woman s
temperament does not show variation
she will lact in a certain way under
given conditions and there is no un.
certainty as to her behavior.
The most common color of hair in
England and America is mid-brown. II
shows happy blending of traits with
a predominance of intellect over heart
Red-haired people are generally sup
posed to be hot tempered. They are
inclined to be hasty, but never vindic
tive. This quickness of temper is due
to impulsiveness and love of speak
ing out what they have in mind. They
are usually Of sunny disposition and
are honest and truthful, but rather
vain and eager for admiration.

Fight Marks Debate of
Italian Deputies; Ask
Fiume Be Italian City
(By Associated Press)


PARIS, Sept pa resolution de-
handing that Fiume be made an Ital-
ian city has been adopted by the Ital-
ian chamber of deputies. according to
information received by the Italian
delegation here.
ROME, Sept. 29.-Debate in the
chamber Of deputies was interrupted
Sunday with a free fight which lasted
ten minutes and in which about 100
deputies participated. The opinion is
expected in some quarters that the
cabinet as a result of the riotous Incl
cent may decide to resign rather than
plunge the country into a struggle
during the general election. 1t is as
serted that the fight in the chamber
indicates what would occur in the
country. The vote of confidence given
was 20S to 140.
In consequence of the fight in the
| chamber, several challenges to fight
duels were announced between depu-
ties and between deputies and ournal-
lists.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator
Watson has sent a letter to the Rev.
w. c. Donaldson of Muncie, making
reply to resolutions of the Delaware
County Ministerial Association which
contain an Endorsement of the league

wrote:
Il regret that l can not agree with

firm convictions on this question that
l can not possibly support the league
covenant as now formulated and l do
not intend to surrender my position.
Il have studied this question from
every point of view. Like everybody
else with a heart, I am in favor of
peace and against war and am willing
to go to great lengths to prevent an
other conflict as that which has just

them there, and all at our expense.

Here's How to Choose
Wife by Hair; Should
Be Fine and Straight
(Pittsburqh Dispatch.)

Everybody knows that woman's
browning glory is her hair, but there
are not many people who realize that
a woman's character can be told by
her hair as well as by her face and
hands.
Coarse, straight hair shows even
ness Of characters, and when light or
dark denotes physical strength. When
the hair is dark and straight its owner
has, in addition to physical strength,
an intense and passionate disposition.
When coarse, dark hair accompanies
development of jaw and full lips it
indicates sensuality and a lack of fine
feeling.
A woman with fine, straight hair es-
pecially if it is dark in color, is usual
ly of firm and high-spirited nature,
rather inclined toward obstinacy, but
! loyal and dependable. She makes an
excellent wife.

amount of something less than half
what was needed, had practically
ceased to come In.
The contributors in sums of from SO
to $4,000 to whom all honor is due,
seemed to be definitely through. The
claims of hosts of worthy causes and
the war taxes and other exactions in
sight operated to stop the flow of
funds to this particular project. Mr..
Reds gift made it possible to COM
plete the plan and carry out the
scheme.
A brief amount of this activity will
show how well worth while this sam
pie of his patriotic nberality proved
itself to be. The Columbia University
hospital unit was one of the most i'm
portant war agencies on this side of
the Atlantic.
It was due to the vision of DR.. ].
Bentley Squier, who also gave to the
project an unfailing energy in months
Of hard and unremitting work and the
assistance Of his prestige as mem.
Der of the Columbia faculty and as the
longtime president Of the New York

He secured the assent of the uni
versfty authorities for the use Of the
Columbia oval on the Gun Hill road
in the Bronx, than which no more suit,
able site could possibly be found. Then
it was question of raising the mon
ey, and it was done as told above.
| Covers Many Acres.
There is no need to tell here how
many acres of ground are covered by
these hospital buildings, how many
beds are there or how many patients
can be and have been treated in the
miles and miles Of wards.
But it must be said that it furnished
valuable training for hundreds of doc
tors and nurses who had never seen
shack hospital before and who car
ried lover There" an added usefulness
by reason of the work done with them
and for them on the Gun Hill road.
And it must be added that when the
stream Of wounded soldier boys began
to come back to us and we welcomed
them, hushed and plying, it was some
comfort and consolation to US to know
that this tremendous base hospital was
ready for their use.
| 1t should not be overlooked that this
beneficient agency was the earliest OF
the kind to be started by the army or
any one. When it was completed
lully SQulppou anu LuTu0u over 10 the
government the proud title of "Base
Hospital No. 1, U. S. Army" was con
ferred on it.
