BLONDES ARE DYING
OUT IN UNITED STATES
BIG WARS GRADUALLY ELIMI-
NATE NORTHERN TYPES, SAYS
AN EMINENT ETHNOLOGIST.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The blondes
are doomed as a result of the world
war!
They will be swallowed up-racial-
! ly-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
eyes instead of blue. This foreshad-
ows the triumph of the still darker
brunette type in America, where the
old strains of northern European
blood are being swallowed by the la
ter immigration to this country. Soon
a blonde beauty will be an exception,
and american beauty will mean
the Spanish, French or Italian type.
Such is the prediction, expressed
in scientific language, Of course, or
Madison Grant, trustee of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History and
councillor of the American Geograph-
ical Society, who has made study
of the effect of war, superimposed on
centuries of slow progression on the
part of the brunette, in his book,
1.-THE Passing of the Great Race,
published by Scribner's.
The world war, he says, has made
matters worse for the blonde because
it is the blonde Nordic element in all
peoples that invariably makes the
greatest sacrifices in war, while the
less energetic brunette element
energies from the world struggle
stronger in number than before.
I'm to the middle of the nineteenth
century the native American, Mr..
Grant points out, was almost purely
Nordic. The civil war destroyed a
large part of the breeding stock OF
the blonde races, and the immlgra-
tion since then has been largely from
the Mediterranean basin and the
Balkans.
Mr. Grant believes that the de
struction of life of the blondes IN
the present war has been so I'M
menselv greater than that of the bru-
nette that a great step has been ia
ken in wiping out the blonde type.
'sThe world war will leave Europe
much poorer in Nordic blood" ne
says.
He points. out how the blonde race
has been absorbed by the brunette
ali tower the world. and cites the Ar
van conquerors of northern INDIA,
who imposed their language and Gus
toms on the natives, but were swal-
lowed 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 relatively pure
tvpe of blonde community is IN north
west Canada, which because OF ITS
climate is suitable for the blonde
types and unsuitable for the bru-
nettes.

THE GRANDPA" TURTLE
CAUGHT IN CALHOUN COUNTY
Monster Weighing SIS Pounds Found
In Pachitla Creek.

Mr.. ]. w. Rogers, who lives few
miles east of town and near the big
Pachitla creek, was in town Monday
morning telling the champion turtle
story of the season. He said that he
had missed several pigs recently from
his pasture, which runs into the creek
swamp, and Sunday morning he took
search for the source of his loss,
thinking that an alligator might have
gotten inside the enclosure and was
eating his pigs. Soon after the
search began tracks and signs were
found that almost made certain that
the gator" theory was right, but on
following the trail he found the
grandpa" of the whole turtle fami-
ly in a marsh in the lower side of
the pasture. With the assistance of
several helpers he succeeded in
dragging the monster turtle to the
house, where it was weighed, tipping
the beam at So pounds. The turtle
was killed and Mr.. Rogers says its
head alone weighed pounds.-Edi

HAVANA, Sep. 9.-Cyclonic winds
are sweeping in from the gulf to-

over the sea wall which are flooding
sections of the city at some places to
a distance of six blocks.
Many families are fleeing from
their homes with the assistance of
fremen and police. No fatalities
have been reported.
The material damage thus far is
small. The weather bureau predicts
gales of increased intensity.
Several of the street car lines are

SENATORS FRAMING
BILL OF COMPROMISE
RESERVATIONS ARE CERTAIN
AFTER CONFERENCES. SEVER
AL DEMOCRATS WILL so VOTE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Further
progress in their efforts at compro-
mise was seen today in the contin-
ued conferences of leaders in the
senate peace treaty controversy.
While President Wilson was telling
an Omaha audience why reservations
to the treaty of peace should not be
adopted conferences were being held
on the senate floor, in the cloak
rooms and in senators Offices, the net
result Of which appeared tonight to
make it, absolutely certain that reser-
vations would be adopted by a sub
stantial majority in the senate. In
fact, the situation no longer is one
of decision as to whether or not res
ervations will be adopted, but simply
one concerned with what reservations
are to be adopted.
Feeling was said to be growing
among unamended ratification advo-
Gates that some sort of concessions
would have to be granted to the OPP
position and efforts were made to
get the extremes on both sides to
agree to the views Of the reserva-
tionists. Compromise resolutions
were being circulated privately
among senators.
The senate situation was clarified
more today than at any time since
the treaty was submitted to that body
by the president on July 10, and any
| doubts remaining relative to the prob
ability of reservations were removed
by conversations between the various
elements in the senate fight.
/ There were two distinct lines of
compromise, and, despite the presi-
dents forceful attack on the reser-
vationists, it appeared probable that
to hold the support of his own fol
lowers and gain that of the middle
ground republicans he would have to
consent to a group of reservations.
Unless the president is willing to
make this concession or Senator
Hitchcock initiates the action conf
dent of executive approval the COM
promises will be dominated by Sena-
tor Lodge and the other radical OPP
ponents of the treaty
Democrats for Reservations.
Senator Simmons, democrat, of
North Carolina, announced to the
senate today that while he favored
ratification of the treaty without
amendment or reservation, he was
convinced that concessions must be
made to those favoring reservations
and that he had been discussing with
democrats a compromise" on econ
sentative resolutions of an interpre
tative character"
Senator Simmons, prominent IN
democratic leadership, read formal
statement of his position.
Among other democrats who are
understood to favor reservations are
included Senator Shields, of Tennes-
see, Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, Sen
ator Smith of Georgia, Senator Reed
of Missouri, Senator Smith of South
Carolina, and others.
Enters Final Stage.
The controversy entered into its
final stages Wednesday when Chair
man Lodge presented his report to
his committee and at which time Sen
ator Hitchcock, leader of the demo-
cratic minority, also reported ready.
Real debate is not expected before
the latter part of this week, however,
when consideration of the report will
be taken up on the floor of the SEN
ate.
Deliberations are expected to ex-
tend over a period of many weeks.

Penny Pinching
Not Always True
Economy

The housewife - schooled in really
scientific domestic economy-no longer
throws away a nickel TO save penny.
A good way to illustrate this would be
through acomparison of the wholesome
ness, efficiency and economy OF plain flour and
standard baking powder and so-called self
rising -four 1t doesn't pay to buy self-rising flour
Most of it is made of low grade materials
1t causes many bake-day failures and great
loss of expensive baking ingredients.
The housewife will throw out III
wasted materials many times the amount she
hopes to save. Beside, self rising flour has
tendency to get lumpy and that's another waste.
But what is most important, the housewife gets
less in return as far as food value is concerned
than if she purchased a plain -four and
standard baking powder.
True economy in baking powder de-
mands the highest quality at the lowest price,
A Baking Powder made only of the highest
class Ingredients obtainable, so Skllltully and
accurately proportoned that it not only pro-
duces the maximum of leavening power but
conserves that power, retains Its strength and is
unfailinq in results, is economical IN cost and
use. The housewife saves when she buys 1t.
She saves when she uses it = and she saves the
materials with which it is used. That is economy
in its highest form-the only kind of economy
the housewife should attempt to practice.

was opposed by the House manag-
ers as too liberal, but they finally
yielded after the Senate conferees
had accepted the higher rates on
war excess profits.
Elimination of the second class
postage amendment had been gem
orally expected. The proposal has
been bitterly opposed by Represent
ative Kitchin and other of the
House conferees. 1t provided for
repeal of she present zone rate on
second class mail based on the pro-
portion of news and advertising
and for substitution of n new zone
plan of one cent a pound on peri
odicals within the first and second
class parcel post zones and one and
one-half cents n pound beyond that
radius. The present rates have been
vigorously attacked by publishers as
unjust and in some cases confisca-
tory.
Other Provisions Certain
With the basis reached for set
Ting these three vital disputes,
agreement on other provisions OF
the bill still left open was regarded
as certain. Among these are, the
amendment to prevent importation
of Intoxicating liquor into the Dis
trict of Columbia for beverage pur-
poses; the amendment of Senator
Thomas, of Colorado, levying a tax
of 100 per cent. on political COM
paign contributions in excess of
$500. and that of Senator Trammell,
of Florida, to allow a bonus of one
months pay and uniforms to men
discharged from the military serv-
ice. Conferees said the bone dry"
amendment would be retained, but
the fate of the others was in doubt.
Other amendments remaining to
be acted upon are several of the So
called relief" provisions of the
Senate war excess profits section,
some dependent upon the basis of
agreement on rates reached by the
conferees. Many administrative pro-
visions also remain for final action.
