 Hair-To Study Data

Washington.-What does the color. abundance and texture of your hair reveal regarding your character and ability?
 The question is raised sharply by the news of a banquet which was held this year by an unusual organization in the University of Nebraska. It is known as the Order of Golden Fleece and it's membership is composed only of young women whose hair belongs to one of the many shades 7ulgariy described as red. According to au- thoritative reports the members are classified on the club rolls under the following color headings: Squash, car rot, pumpkin, orange, brick, scarlet, hamingo, maroon, copper, auburn, henna, mahogany, magenta, sorrel, strawberry, roan, russet cerise, car nation, salmon, shrimp pink and pink. Lemon, ginger, insipid brown and chemicals of all kinds are barred. Prizes are awarded at the annual events for the brightest flame of color. the greatest quantity of hair and that of the most beautiful shade.

 This organization is interesting and perhaps alarming to the general public as an example of one more kind of class feeling. It is well known that class feeling and the tendency to or ganize on a class basis are on the in- crease. We now have associations not only of capital and labor, but also mothers leagues, parents leagues, con- sumers' leagues, writers leagues. There are leagues based on every pos sibIe role which one may play in life, whether in business, politics, society, marriage or sport; but heretofore, so far as we can learn by exhaustive re- search, there has been no effort to or ganize on a basis of physical charac- teristics, if a few Jolly Fat Mems clubs be excepted.
 The tendency to organize on a basis of hair color, therefore, Is a thing of great and alarming possibilities, espe- cially if red-headed women take the lead in the matter. Imagine if you can an insurrectiOn of the Interna- tional Order of Red-Headed Women.
 And this organization of red-headed women into clubs will undoubtedly in tensify what you might call the hair class-feeling. The Order of the Golden Fleece will no doubt make a pretty thorough study of all the data bearing on red-headedness, and each person will come away from its gath erings with a clearer notion of the spe- cial destiny which her flaming top has prescribed for her.
 That Old Saying, Y'Know.
 There seems long to have been a sort of general agreement that red headed persons have peculiar charac- teristics. It is generally believed, for example, that they have hot tempers and strong emotions generally. In the last century a simile in common use was ''easy as making love to a red headed girl" Since the rise of the Nietzsche- e-Shaw-Mencken school of philosophy, which holds that woman is a dangerous predatory animal, bent on hunting man down and making a slave of him, this generally has been revised to read dangerous as making love to a red-headed girl"
 Whatever basis this saying may have in the experience of man, 1t Is ample evidence of a general popular feeling that red-headedness is a quality of the mind and temperament as well as of the hair. For some reason, there is no similar popular idea regarding other hair cOlors, but scientific re- search shows that hair is a great re- Eealer of character in an indirect way.
