next convention of the National Confer

other hand is noted for its artistic and
musical ability, and its creative genius
generally, while in war and government
it is not so conspicuously successful.
1t is the theory of some scientists that
nearly all of the great European gov
ernments were organized by Nordics.
They claim that the original Romans
were Nordics from the north, and that
when this stock died out, due to an I'M
favorable climate, the Roman govern
ment collapsed. This pretty theory has
never teen proved.
In fact, the whole matter of race char
acteristics is little understood Typ-
ically, a tall blonde man should be a
good executive, a reliable, conscientious
fellow, not apt to get excited or act
suddenly on impulse. but rather lacking
in imagination and enthusiasm. 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 want to. But you can also
find by common observation some facts
to support it. For example. is 1t with
out significance that the engineers of
ocean going bOats-men upon whom
many lives depend-are almost always
blonde men-either Scotchmen or Scandi-
navians? And how many such tall
blonde Scots and Swides will you find IN
such occupations as designing, interior
decorating, teaching and performing
music, which require sense Of form and
color, delicate ear for sound.

BONUS BILL is
SNAGGED;DEBT
DELAYS ACTION
Veterans Compensation Meas
ure May Be Held Up Sew
eral Months.
BORAH SCORES PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, June i25.-Unexpected
obstacles to the veterans adjusted com
pensation bill has arisen which Senate
leaders declared today may delay pass
age of the measure for several months.
Republican leaders were reticent in
discussing the changes in the legislative
program. Several Senators simply said
it was deemed unwise to push the legis-
lation at this time.
1t is expected by Senator MeCumber
Of North Dakota. who is handling the bill
in the Senate, and other advocates, that
funds for paying the veterans cOmpen-
sation which would not begin until after
July 1922, would be derived from interest
on the foreign loan
The unexpected attack of Senator BOrah
Of Idaho on the bonus" bill also is said
to have some bearing on the change in
plans. If the bill were pressed at this
time leaders fear that continued attack
might do much to make the legislation
unpopular with the country.
While the President has taken no def
mite position on the legislation he is said
TO favor the plan for eompensating the
war veterans

SIMS REBUKED;
NOT SQUELCHED
Sorry to Embarrass Govern
ment, but Feels Same Way
Toward the Sim Feiners.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Rear Admiral
William 5. Sims regards as a closed in
cident his public reprimand by Secretary
Of the Navy Denby for his now famous
"Jackass" speech in London, it was in
dicated today.
Sims reaction was described by close
personal friends as follows.
l. He has no intention of resigning
from the Navy because OF anger at the
official rebuke.
2. He Is not bothered In the least at the
reprimand. nor does he feel "squelched
3. He is sorry that he embarrassed the
administration, but he still feels the
same about Great Britain and the Slim
Fein as he stated in his speech despite
the reprimand.
Admiral Sims has left foT Newport r.
l.. where he will resume his station as
president of the Naval War College.
President Harding's conference with
Rear Admiral Sims Immediately after
the latter had been publicly eensured
by Secretary DENLY for his London
"jackass" speech. is believed to have
taken some OF the sting out of the rep
rimand
There was no official authorization for
such an assertion. but an impression pre-
vailed-hased somewhat on the admirals
demeanor as he emerged wrom the White
House-that his meeting with the Presi-
dent had been cordial. despite the official
rebuke just administered to him by the
Navy Department
The Administration was believed to
have been put in a predicament by Sims
speech coming at a time when the Irish
question was being used by some inter
ests in an effort to stir up hostility be-
tween this country and Britain The
criticism Sims speech reused here neces
STATED the public reprimand. although
the Administration policy is believed to
be a maintenance Of the close and friendly
relations with Great Britain.

tending the meeting said there was a
wide and vigorous demand for rate
cuts as imperative to the agricultural
interests.
Senator Cummins, after his confer

for an immediate reduction of freight
