Women Red Heads
 Form New Society

That is, 1t shows what race predOm- mates in the makeup of the individ- ual, and therefore what racial traits he may be expected to have.
 This, it appears, is less true of the brunettes. Redzheadedness occurs in both blonde and brunette races, as a sort of spOrt-color. It does seem to be associated generally with certain emotional and nervous characteristics, but these are peculiar to the reds of all races. That they are by no means necessarily disadvantageous Is shown by the great number of successful red headed men and the we'll known popu- larity of red-headed women.
 But black hair or blonde hair Is dis tinctly indicative of race, and it is only by such physical characteristics that race may be detected these days. Race now conforms to national boundaries very little. It would be easy to find an Irishman and a German who were of exactly the same racial type, and two Irishmen who were as different racialIy as an Italian and a Swede.
 Characteristics of Race.
 There are three principal races in Europe, according to the anthropolO- gists-the Nordic, the Alpine and the Mediterranean. The Morales are the tall blonde men with long heads na- tive to the north, as for example the typical Prussian or Norwegian. The Alpines are a short, stocky race with brown hair and flat heads inhabiting east central Europe, as for example typical Swiss peasant. The Mediter- raneans are a short, dark, long-headed race, inhabiting the south of Europe, as for example, a typical Italian. In addition to these there are many other races in smaller numbers, such as the Old Black Breed in Ireland and the an- cient Iberian race in Spain, but these have had relatively little influence on the mass of European and American population. The other three races are mixed badly all through central and western Europe and in the United States.
 Hair color is significant as showing whether Nordic or Mediterranean blood predominates in the individual. It does not reveal the presence of Alpine blood so readily for the Alpine stock usually show brown hair of an intermediate and indeterminate shade. The shape of the head should be most valuable iD detecting that particular strain.
 The Nordic and the Mediterranean stocks have different qualities, accord ing to the anthropologists. The Nord- ics are noted for their combativeness. their organizing ability and their sense of order. The Mediterranean race on the other hand is noted for its artistic and musical ability. and its creative genius generally, while in war and gov ernment it is not so conspicuously sue cessful. It is the theory of some scientists that nearly all the great European governments were organized by Morales. They say that the orig inal Romans were Morales from the north, and that when this stock died out, due to an unfavorable climate, the Roman government collapsed. This pretty theory has never been proved.
 Subject Little Understood.
 In fact, the whole matter of race characteristics Is little understood. Typically, a tall blonde man should be a good executive, a reliable, con- scientious fellow, not apt to get ex- cited or act suddenly on impulse, but rather lacking in imagination and en- thusiasm. These latter qualities should be found rather in a brunette.
 You can find much to contradict this notion, and you can dismiss it with a shrug if you wish to. But you can find also by common observation some facts to support it. For example, is it without significance that the engineers of ocean-going boats-men on whom many lives depend-are almost al- ways blond men-either Scotchmen or Scandinavians. And how many such tall blond Scots and Swedes will you find in such occupations as designing, interior decorating, teaching and per forming music, which requires a sense
