Much American Relief
Work Is Done In Serbia
a Associated Press Correspondence.)

"a associated Press Correspondence.)
BELGRADE, June 19:-In north
ern Serbia many families, wealthy
before the war, have been found by
officers of the American Relief Ad-
ministration and the American Red
Cross living in stables and chicken
coops. Their homes had been de-
stroyed by the advancing or retreat
ing armies. TEeir beds were heaps
of straw covered with burlap. 1t was
all that remained as furniture in
their once pretentious estates. They
were penniless and had no clothing
except what they wore.
The condition Of the Serbian peas
ants is beyond description. A large
proportion are homeless. Most fam
lilies nave been deprived of their
w-age-earners by death. The mother
Is now obliged to support herself and
children on what she can produce on
a farm stripped of its machinery
and tools. Most of the small stores
of seed for next springs sowing were
removed by the enemy.
The Red Cross hospitals are
crowded with mothers carrying
emaciated children, old men with
the infirmities of their years, old
women bent and misshapen, and
young men broken by war The soup
kitchens tell the same story.

Mr.. Grant believes hat the de-
struction of life of the blondes in
the present war has been SO i'm
mensely greater than that of the
brunettes that a great step has been
taken in wiping out the blonde type.
'~rhe world war will leave Europe
much poorer in Nordic BLOOD he
says. if
He points out how the blonde race
has been absorbed by the brunette
all over the world, and cites the
Ayran ~conquerors Of northern India,
who imposed 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 bru-
netteS.

NEW YORK, July 22:-The
blondes are doomed as a result of
the world war!
They will be swallowed up-raci-
ally-by the ~brunettes.
Real blonde Americans are becom-
ing fewer. American women are
tending to a neutral type, with brown
rather than golden hair, and brown
eye instead of blue This fOresha-
dows the triumph of the still darked
brunette type in America, where the
old strains of northern European
Z hood are being swallowed by the
\ ater Immigration to this country.
Soon a blonde beauty win be an ex-
ception, and "American beauty" will
mean the Spanish, French or Italian
type.
Such is the prediction, expressed
In scientific language, of course, of

lean Museum of Natural History,

ar, mix all well, and boil slowly. Cook
the fruits until the mixture is thick
and smooth. skimming it often. Cool

Gooseberry and Red Currant jam
Wash, stem and stew red currants
enough to produce 2 cupfuls of juice.
To the currant juice allow 4 pounds
of stemmed gooseberries and 3 pounds
OF sugar. Make a syrup by dissolv-
ing the sugar in the currant Juice, add
the -gooseberries, and simmer slowly
for 40 minutes until the berries look
clear. Pack in sterile pint glass jars
