LONDON, Feb. 10.--Modern life.
especially city life, is sweeping the
big broad-shouldered blond type of
manhood to extinction. If blondes in
your neighbrhood are increasing,
blame it on the drug stores and not
the, law Of survival of the fittest.

Toned, or even die out altogether.
while the naturally dark people
thrive and multiply" according to
Prof. w. J. Perry, of the department
of cultural anthropology in the Uni
versity of London
Gradually the fair types are bred
out Of urban populations. while the
dark, and particularly the Mediterr-
anean types survive and gain pre-
Dominance
Professor Perry Believes his con-
illusions are explained by the natural
aptitude OF dark skinned races to
cope with urban conditions.

SPEAKER LESLIE
AND De HAVEN IN
TILT OVER BILL
Chiropractic Measure Made
Special Business for
Friday.

After an hour of hectic parliment-
airy skirrnish the State House of
Representatives today carried the
Wright.DeHaven bill to license Chi
ropraetors over as special order Of
business Friday afternoon.
Representative DeHaven and
Speaker Leslie had sharp words af-
ter the session over a remark by
Leslie that ''the chiropractors have
a lobbyist on the floor now
The original bill would create a
board of examination and licenses
separate from those controlling doc
tors of medicine.
The House committee on State
medicine and public health today
submitted a divided report. The ma
jority favored passage with an
amendment merely giving chiroprac-
tors one member of the State board
Of medical examiners; the minority
favored passage Of the bill as origi-
nally drawn.
A motion to adopt the minority re-
port failed when Leslie ruled it out
of order. Representative Gottschalk,
Berne, moved indefinite postpone
ment. His motion was tabled.
Result Of the battle was viewed as
a victory for the anti-chiropractic
faction.
