Ul1C QuCoGlOll, Arc UlOllOSo QulIlU:
The Rev. F. v. Loos, who says
he has married $500 couples, draws
indignant fire from the fair-haired
ones by saying that of the feminine
portion Of the newlyweds, blondes
make the dumbest brides"
Other Chicago ministers rushed
to controvert this impolite opinion
and local ministers also fall in with
the statement of the Rev. John
Delacy, pastor of Chicagos largest
church, who said: cts not the
color Of the hair, but the coloring
of the gray matter that counts"
The Rev. A. Bash AFFORD, 1916
Olney St., pastor of the Brookside
Park United Brethren Church, not
only spoke kindly of the fair haired
fraternitys brains, but of their dis
position.
I'm my twenty years experience
at officiating at weddings, I have
repeatedly noticed the calmer,
sweeter, better natured mental at
titude of the onde-haired brides,
he said. Ozark comp1exioned brides
often give way to moods. They're
more interpretive and less good
natured."
"Tut, Tut" Say Some
1.-THE question is absurd" declared
the Rev. J. B. Rosemurgy, 81 s.
Johnson Ave, pastor of the Irving
ton Methodist Episcopal Church.
"How can one make any decision
in the few minutes observation
while marrying a couple? Maybe
a psychologist, having devoted par
ticular thought to judging by con-
tour, may be able to judge also by
coloring, but I'll confess that if
blonde brides are dumber than bru-
nettes, I don't know it"
The Rev. w. H. Zimmerman, 626
Somerset Ave. pastor of the Taber-
nacle Baptist Church, also confessed
himself somewhat at sea.
GAS one of the younger ministers,
my opinion has perhaps not had
time to properly CONCEAL" he
laughed. 81 really don't see that
coloring could possibly enter into
the question. With the Rev. Delacy
of Chicago, T should say dumbness
is not affected by the hairs of the
head. It's ridiculous"
Beauty Experts Speak
But Mrs. Viva H. Fulton, proprie-
tor of the Rainbow Academy of
Beauty Culture, who deals with
blondes and brunette heads from
another standpoint disagreed.
Certainly the coloring indicates
temperament" she said, emphati-
cally. BLONDES are phlegmatic. They
may therefore be better natured,
but for snappy, intelligent action,
always look to the brunettes."
Four of the girls in the academy,
two blondes and two brunettes, were
consulted. The "blondiest" blonde,
Miss Margaret Lynch, 81 w. Six
tenth ST., was sure that brunettes
were away behind in brain action.
eff you don't believe it, look how
much quicker blondes can get mar
ried," she challenged.
Her sister blonde, Miss Eva WITT,
1904 N. Pennsylvania ST., nodded
assent, but the brunettes, Miss Ma
RE Eggleton, 1915 Roosevelt Ave,
and Miss Ruth Blessing, 1641 Cen
trail Ave-, laughed derisively, But
look how many more brunettes &C
tually dol" they said.

DROWSY PUBLIC
HELPED STEVE,
TRACY ASSERTS
Alert Voters Only Guarantee
of Efficient, Clean
Government.

1.-THE rest of the country is ex-
peeting Indiana to clean house
politically" M. E. Tracy, Scripps-
Howard columist, said today.
Indiana has always been looked
on as foremost State in educa-
ton and literature and it is some
what of a shock to see the HoosieI
State make such a record as it has
in the last six years." Tracy de-
clared.
Steve More Ambitious
1.-THE issue is somewhat similar
in other States where the Khan
was in power. The situation in
Texas five years ago resulted in the
election of MA" Ferguson as Gov
ernor to clean out the Khan. Then
it was necessary to clean up her to
finish the thing.
Indiana conditions are a little
worse because David e. Stephenson
as head of the Klan was a little
more ambitious and clever and
more INSCRIPTIONS. Public indiffer-
ence to politics can be blamed. An
organized minority could not do
what it does if the citizenship was
awake.
Advises Alert Public
Tracy said the city manager form
of municipal government, which be-
comes effective in January, 1880, is
e.logical type of government for
cities.
"a city is more a business than a
political proposition. However, the
city manager. form brings with it a
grave danger-that of developing a
new type of bossism in the city
manager.
IAN alert public is the only
guarantee of efficient and clean
government" he said.
Tracy spoke to the indianapolis
Advertising Club at luncheon today
at the Spink-Arms. Kiwanis Club
members were guests.
He will address the Optimist Club
Friday at the Claypool.
Studies Conditions Here
He left New York July 8 on tour
Of Eastern and Middle Western
States to study conditions. He has
been in Terre Haute and Evansville
this week and will remain here I'M
til Saturday.
Tracy first obtained fame while
writing for the Houston Chronicle
and later became an editorial
writer for the Houston Press.
In his daily column on current
events he has had considerable ia
say about Indiana politics. He will
study conditions first hand while in
Indianapolis.
