BLONDE, BRUNETTE,
WHO is SMARTEST?
DOES COMPLEXION AFFECT
NEUTRALITY? SCIENTISTS
UNDECIDED ON MATTER.

Is a blonde dumbbell and bru-
nette a Minerva
That seems to be the opinion OF
Miss Mary Adelsperger and Miss Al
ma Moritz, Chicago artists, who have
attracted considerable attention with
their tiny character statuettes now be-
ing shown in the exposition OF the
American No-Jury Society of Artists
These girls portray the blonde as
the acme of stupidity and her dark
sister as her direct antithisis.
1t is an age old question, and there
have been many diverse opinions on
the subject.
Father Deglman, psychologist at
Marquette university, says that lnves-
tigation along these lines has shown
that there are as many exceptions to
the rule as there are examples OF its
truth.
q do not think the complexion has
anything to do with mentality" he
said.
I'VE find among races who are
blonde and others who are dark that
there is a difference in their activity,
but | consider that is due more to
climate than to complexion.
There have been women rulers i'll
Europe, both light and dark. There
have been prominent women here in
America who ranged in complexion
from pallid blonde to striking bru-
nettes.
Many people contend that the per-
son of medium complexion, blue eyes
and dark hair, is the most mentally
awake. If that is so, it is not because
of the coloring, but because of the
mixture of races that has caused the
coloring, and thus brought out the
best in each one"
