: a;BALTIMORE. August 2.-Out of
$50 divorce cases in the circuit court
in the past few months, 80 per cent
Of the female litigants were bru-
nettes. while many of the remaining
20 per cent were not perfect
blondes" according to unofficial fig
ures tabulated by Winfield b. Nor
gan, divorce clerk.
3 Morgan compiled the statistics fol-
lowing the statement made by Judge
Graham of San Francisco that men
should never marry blonds if they
wished to be happy. He agrees with
Prof. Rudolph Binder, head of the
sociology department of the New
York University, who recently an
bounced that blondes make excel
lent wives and are just as divorce
proof as brunettes, II not more so.
: Prof. Binder says: What about all
the golden-haired princesses in the
fairy tales? Legends and fairy tales
invariably described the good and
beautiful heroine as having long,
ffowing hair, the color or the bright
est gold in the kingdom"

DR.. c. S. Myers is perhaps the most

vestigating the motions of tin plate
workers. he found that some workers
made automatically circular motions,
whereas others made rectangular or
cubist motions. What simpler than
that the circular workers should be

like cans or pals, while the straight
line workers should be used in the
manufacture of angular objects.

Public Bureau Help.
There are no charges to employers

has been invaluable to employers and
employees, as it is great saving of
time and expense to use the Public
Employment Bureau as a clearing
house for labor. The aim Of the Pub
lie Employment Bureau is to scienti-
fica1ly interview all applicants and
determine their capability and quail
fications before sending them to en-
ployers.
A manufacturer, distributor or en-
pIoyer or some other line receives an
order for his product and fills same
by specifications. The production of
the Public Employment Bureau is Ia
Dor. Likewise, orders for labor are
filled according to specihcations-in
other words, the employer gives the
details of the job and the employ
ment bureau fills same accordingly.
The purpose of the employment
bureau is to eliminate errors in the
selection, to carefully analyze the
qualifications of the applicant and
select the one best suited for the posi-
ton to be filled. All classes of male
and female help will be furnished;
viz, accountants. stenographers. en-
gineers, building, mechanical and
technical trades, farm and dairy. fac
tory. hotel, mercantile, office, profess
sional, restaurant, domestic and
transportation help, laborers-light
or heavy work. The keynote of the
Public Employment Bureau is service
and the management assures immedi-
ate attention to any and all requests
for help placed with this bureau.

WORK TO RESTORE
CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Orthopedic Clinics in Virginia
Explained by RehabiIita-

RICHMOND. Va. August 2-work
OF orthopedic clinics in different Sec
tions of Virginia was described to-
night by D. NJ. Blankenship, super
visor of the State bureau of civilian
rehabilitation.
We found that the greatest num-
Der OF those applying to the bureau
were crippled by disease, a large
number being victims of infantile
paralysis" he said in a statement is
sued through Carter w. WormeIey,
director of the State bureau of pub
licity.
Our experience soon convinced us
cases, to undertake their training
without first having them examined
by an orthopedic surgeon. A survey
conducted in several widely separated
counties indicated clearly that the
years of age would average approx
mately 100 per county. OF course, all OF
these are not susceptible Of rehabili
tation, but many Of them are.
Efforts to Meet Situation.
With this information in hand, We
began to cast about for ways and
means to meet the situation. The
agencies sponsoring the work among
crippled children (under 14) were al
ready crowded with long waiting
lists In this dilemma, Sheltering
Arms Hospital, Richmond, came to
our help with an offer of two wards,
ten beds. free.
I'VE then called conference OF
orthopedic surgeons from the diff
ferent cities. They agreed to give
different parts of the State, in many
cases paying their own travelling ex-
penses in attending the initial clinics.
Tentative plans were drawn dividing
the State into clinical districts. An
orthopedic surgeon is located in each
district and looks after the cases in
his district in so far as hosPitaIfacili-
ties permit"

HEALTH OF MILLIONS
ENDANGERED BY OIL
Maryland Authorities Agree to Re-

Ships and Factories.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, August 2.-Authorf-
ties Of the State fully agree in the
conclusions of a report made to the
United States Public Health Service
that indiscriminate discharge of oil
from ships and manufacturing plants
along the Atlantic Coast is endanger-
ing the health and well-being of mil
lions OF people.
DR.. ]. S. Fulton, executive secre-
tary of the State Board of Health,
said: There is no question that bath
ing and water sports are discouraged
by oil in Maryland; and its effect on
oysters and other seafoods is one Of
the most serious subjects engaging
the attention Of the Conservation
Commission. Severe laws exist
against the discharge of oil IN in
land waters, but shipmasters find
ways to eyade them.
The same problem exists in Euro
pean ports. In Holland it is ham
died by requiring ships to discharge
into big receptacle in the har-
bors. From the waste material
enough valuable substances are re-
claimed to pay the cost Of the some-
what expensive plants. There have
been tunes in Baltimore, I am told,
when the amount Of oil afioat was
sufficient to create a dangerous fire
hazard"
