The girl students of the University
of Minnesota answered a QUESTIONABLE
as to the kind Of husband they wanted.
Good looks, money, health, chiyalry
and other qualifications came in for
the usual number Of votes. One girl,
however, wrote this:
sHe need not be good-looking, but
he must have red hair, because all
red-haired men are very ambitious"
This girl is wrong, says the Seattle
Post. And because we like all the
girls In the University Of Minnesota
and all the girls outside of said univer-
sity-we address this erring thinker in
these imposing words:
Do not, grille, insist upon the red
haired. Give the black-haired and the
brown-haired and the sandy-haired
and the gray-haired, and even those
who have no hair at all, a chance.
They are all ambitious. True, most
of them never get anywhere, but that
is because their brains are Inferior
and not because their hair is not red.
Napoleon was not red-haired. Neither
was Shakespeare, Michelangelo nor
Casanova, the great lover. Henry
Ford is not red-haired and yet he is
chock-full Of ambition. The same
with LaFollette, Borah, McAdoo, I'm
derwood and AL Smith. They are all
simply bubbling over with ambition
and yet they have no red hair. And
fhere Ia William Jennings BRYAN. You
could have no possible doubt of his
ambition, and yet the two or three
hairs he has left upon the top of his
head are not red. Even Doctor Cook
is not red-haired and yet his ambition
led him to Jail.
Do not impose this limitation upon
the boys, dear lady. Marry the one
who first finds his way to your heart.
II his hair Is yellow or green or abb
sent, forgive him. He may still make
an ideal husband.

America apparently has captured
the balloon market Of the world
Despite lively competition the little air
craft made in America is finding favor
over the foreign article The American
toy balloon Is proving the more ssrv-
iceable; II rises higher than any other
and is considered more durable. So
conspicuous has been its success that
the American consuls In five different
countries recently have made 1t the
subject Of reports.
Europe formerly depended for it's
supply Of toy balloons on England
and Germany. To-day balloons are
exported from America in large quanti-
ties to all parts of Europe even to
Germany. This export trade is handi-
capped by the difference in exchange,
but the American balloon is bought
Notwithstanding. In some cases a
tariff is being discussed in order TO
protect the home Industries.

Red Cap of Liberty

The liberty cap Is a famous symbol
for freedom. 1t appears on the head of
liberty on several American coins and
on the seals Of several Central and
South American republics. In ancient
Rome freed slave was given the con-
Zeal Phrygian headdress, from which
the modern liberty cap is copied. Bru-
tus and Cassius used the symbol on
coins struck after the assassination OF
julius Caesar.
At the outbreak Of the French revo-
luton the bonnet rouge, or red cap,
was adopted as the badge Of the pa
triots," and Louis XVI was forced to
wear 1t June 20. 1892, when he was
paraded through the streets by the
mob which had burst into his palace
1t is not certain that the red cap of
the French revolutionists was q re-
vival of the Roman tradition, but Its
significance is the same.-Detroit

opinion, too, holds tenaciously to the
theory that matter is uniform through
out the universe.
The conditions necessary to life on
a planet, as Shapley enumerates them,
are that Its sun must be essentially
constant in brightness, that distance
from the sun must fall within certain
limits, that its orbit must not be too
elliptical lest fatal variations occur,
that mass must be neither too small
to attract and hold atmosphere nor
so large as to create excessively violent
meteorological conditions. that rota-
ton must differ from revolution, that
there shall be fairly high axis OF ro-

The long line of British sovereigns
and the present king himself, have
owed their place In life. and their
right of succession, to an Illicit love
for a peasant girl who pounded
clothes upon stone beside Nor
man stream. The father Of William OF
Normandy looked down from his cas-
tie window one day on a line Of
washers by the stream side. His fancy
was fascinated by the peculiar grace
and beauty Of one of them, a young
girl OF humble parentage, and she be-
came the mother Of William the Con-
queror.
To this day the washtubs for the
clothes of Normandy are just as they
were before the Conquest-the run
ming streams, or little slab-lined pools
at their edges. The women kneel on
rows of stones laid just In the current
OF the stream, or around the pools.
The washing is done by beating the
clothes vigorously upon rocks. Kan

Ford Service Course
In His Ford Review

The Ford Motor Company has re-
! Gently outlined a service course for
use throughout their organization.
This course has been coming to us
in The Fly Wheel, a semi-monthly
publication OF the Salt Lake Branch
of the Ford Motor Company. We
find the course very interesting and
instructive and we feel that all Ford
owners would be glad of a chance to
become better acquainted with their
car. So we are passing the course
on to you through this medium.
The following outline will give an
idea as to what the course will
cover.
l.. To teach the general construc-
ton Of the Ford Car.
2. Methods of assembling new
and old units in the chassis.
3. Methods to employ in disas-
sembly, and removing parts for re-
pair.
A. To point out the parts hat
are usually in for repair.
8. To give detailed instructions
as to how all repairs are to be made.
The Ford chassis will be described
IL this paper next week.
