Protocol Takes Beating From Travelling Windsors;;
 Are Il. .S. No. 1 Commuters
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor have cleared the way to become the United States No. commuters.
 To say that Washington has been shocked and bit bumfuzzled by their trip to this country is putting it a little mildly. When royalty or foreign state officials visit this country Cor any other. for that matter), there is a thing called protocol Protocol is the Emily Post of international rela- tionships. It's the State Depart ment's list of dos and dont's for entertainment and reception of representatives of a foreign gov- ernment.
 When the Duke and Duchess landed in this country on their first announced visit since their marriage. the informality of it all caused considerable gasping among the old Tories in diplomatic cir cles.
 They came to Washington with put any great fanfare. There was formal dinner at the British Em- bassy. most informal teas at the National Press Club and Women's Press Club; a White House lunch- con which was called off at the last minute; a reunion with the Duchess Aunt Bessy," Mrs. Bu- chanan Merryman; and the depar- ture for the Dukes ranch near Calgary, Saskatchewan, Canada.
 On the return, stopover in New York caused no greater furry than would the visitation of any other international celebri- ties. In Maryland, the royal couple visited friends and when the Duke went out for a round of golf, the gallery numbered only a few more than hundred persons. Mrs. Roo- sevelt shook hands with the two in her unpretentious Civilian De- fense office on the ninth floor of the DuPont Circle Apartments. When, an hour or so later, they dined with the President and a small, informal group at the White House. Mrs. Roosevelt was busy preparing her weekly broadcast and making ready for her flight to Chicago, where the broadcast was to be made.

Great Britain has put laws or the books giving government a5- solute control over the lives of all subjects. Theoretically that in- ,ludes a mans wages as well as his life, but actually, the British government has NOT applied blan- izet wage controls. It has achieved the same end by indirect meth ods, including rationing of food, price controls, etc,
 In extreme cases, the British have taken over whole industries, and the government has acquired measure of control over wages in those industries. The railroads Ire an example. Extremely high taxes bonds, and a system of forced savings (flat deductions from pay checks) are other in- direct means of controlling the wage level and preventing disas- trous imitation.
 The United States is NOT
 technically at war. We have
 not applied heavy hand
 against either prices or wages.
 But the cost of living has risen
 about 10 percent since the start
 of the war.

The government has taken some steps to prevent the upward spiral

Canada took drastic action because imitation threatened, and imitation would damage the war effort. It would also cost the taxpayers much more money to wage war, because the government would buy war materials and pay soldiers with inflated money. Prices have risen in Canada more than 13 percent since the start of the war.

WASHINGTON, Nov f2.-Cana- da has embarked on the most dar- ing experiment. in controlled war time economy of all the democratic nations, even Great Britain.
 The Canadian government has imposed rigid controls of bot h prices and wages beginning Mo- vember IT.
 Price controls are quite in keep ing with emergency practices in all democracies. But direct wage controls have never been applied by a major democratic govern ment, even in wartime. Neither Great Britain nor the United States now practices direct wage control.
 Freezing of wages has been avoided on the ground that labor is NOT a commodity in a free nation, even in wartime, and has the right to bargain for its ser vices. The principle does not ap- ply to military conscription. Any citizen may be forced to defend his country, including the labor ing manD

headed, but certainly not the least het-headed.
While an exceptionally large number of
redheads have been presidents, not many have
been criminals At Sing Sing prison, for
instance among the $500 hardened criminals
there only about IA or 10 definite redheads
can be found at any one time. In other
words, while 10 per cent of our presidents
have been red-headed, less than 1 per cent of
Sing Sing criminals are redheads.
And while the wiles Of Cleopatra, or Of
red-headed Sappho. or wny-haired Saome,
who danced for the head of John the Bap-
tist may seem to discredit the morals of the
red-headed woman, we must not overlook the
other side of the picture.
There was Frances f. Willard for instance,
founder of the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union. She a redhead. She was
also an aggressive worker for womens rights.
Napoleon was bologicary redhead. Al
though his hair was mostly of a chestnut hue,
it was, nevertheless, flecked with red And
Napoleon was a hot-tempered fellow.
Although popular fancy attributes great
fighting qualities TO people with red hair,
only a small percentage Of famous generals
have been rcdheads. Peter the Great and
General Hartford were rcdhcads
General Hartford did not live up 20 the
picture Of a redhead with sizzling temper.
his temper One Of his teachers. Prof. l. y.
Graham wrote about him:
Il never saw him when he showed anger.
Knowing his intense vitality as l did ! have
always believed that his seemingly equable
temper was the result of sclf-contro and not
that he was incapable of passion"
Many people who have black hair are actu-
ally redheads. The red color is masked by
the darker black. This gives their hair
glossy. shiny black. There are men who try
to grow mustaches but shave them off when
they come out red in streaks. These are the
men who though their hair is apparently
black, are still masked redheads. The red
streaks in the mustache are due to the lack
of enough black pigment in n few places TO
mask the underlying red
Many Italians and Negroes are masked
redheads Occasionally they are out-and-out
redheads when the black fermentation is not
marked enough TO conceal the basic red un-

also a bossy person. inclined TO dominate
everyone. In short, she had lot Of dramatic
temperament which many brunette actresses
have also cultivated Whether her red hairs
caused the temperament is another question.
That redheads are great lovers, which
many. men especially, believe, is based upon
the assumption that the red coloring of the
hair is connected in some way with the &C
tivity Of the sex glands So far as biologists
have been able to discover, however the
glands which are related to red hair are not
at all those of sex
The glands that are most likely to be re-
lated to red hair are the adrenals, and there
is still scientific controversy about this rela-
tionship. The adrenals are the glands which
release emergency energy. and they have little
TO do with sex activity The theory that the
adrenals are somewhat more active in red
heads would explain their apparently greater
activity than average persons with average
adrenal secretion.
The redheads do seem to be endowed with
exceptional energy The English scientist
Haveock Ellis. some time ago made survey
of British geniuses and came up with the
finding that a larger percentage than normal
was red-haired
In our own country, many people arc
amazed when they first learn that, out OF
thrty-two presidents, five Of them have been
distinctly red-headed an unusually large pro-
portion Our first president was a rcdhead
although people usually can not disassociate
George Washington from his snow-white wig
Thomas jefferson, our third president and
the author of the Declaration Of American
Independence, was also redhead and he had
an ample crop Of freckles TO boot.
Tall, lanky Andrew Jackson, our seventh
president, was also in the Hall Of Famed Red
heads He had an impulsive temper which
led to several duels with pistols in the good
old Southern gentleman manner, good practice,
perhaps for resisting his own attempted assas-
sination while president
1t was not until 80 years after Jackson's
term expired that we had another red-headed
president. General Ulysses S. Grant, decisive
Civil War general
Nearly half century lapsed after Grants

most recent, red-headed president. This was

passed along in Mendelan hereditary fashion,
determines whether or not a person will have
naturally reddish hair
How red the hair will appear depends upon
other hair color genes that are mixed in with
it. When it is mixed with brown gene, for
instance, it produces dark brown hair of an
auburn red color When mixed with yellow
gene it produces the chestnut red such as Ma
poleon and Calvin Coolidge had.
When husband and wife are both red
heads. therefore, most of their children will
inevitably be redheads, with perhaps some in
clined toward light brown or blondness
When a redhead marries a blond, about
half of their children will be redheads and
half bonds
When a redhead marries a brunette the
children will likely all be brunettes with CLOS
sly black hair. provided all of the brunette's
relatives have also been distinctly brunette
If the brunettes family has some lighter hair
shades. the chances are that about half of
the children will be brunette and half dark
red or auburn red. Even the brunette chill
dren, however, probably will carry the red
gene rs masked redheads- and may in their
turn have red-hesdcd children.
The red gene, however has nothing to do
with body temperature as so many have
supposed The redheads do not have any
higher temperature than do blends or bru-
nettes
The chief handicap from red hair is that
It oftentimes makes its owner feel conspicuous
This feeling starts in childhood and is often
the result of thoughtless teasing by paymates
The nicknames bestowed on red-headed young
sters do not help matters at all
Many redheads get an unwarranted repu-
tation for being hot-headed, or a scrapper,
because they resent and fight back when
called such names as Red Carrots Straw
berry, Goldie, Pinkie, Rusty.
Psychologists are agreed that redheads
do not have worse tempers, and that they
are not harder scrappers except as teasing
and plaguing may have made them that way.
The redheads do have some important adj
vsntages after all. They are almost never
going to be bald-hcaded, and may end up as
President Of the United States.
Moreover, they much easier to spot
in case Of shipwreck.

RED-TOPPED relative Of mine once
"a fen madly in love with a girl whose
locks were even more brilliant red

pals we're Mortified at the thought Of two
redheads marrying each other
you know what violent tempers go with

And two people with tempers like that can

Now, neither Of the lovers had shown any
terrible outbursts of temper, but their dis
concerted relatives were certain that the red
hair would precipitate violent clashes.
Well, II hasn't. happier married couple
you would never find. and they have been
married for some twenty years
Could they be the exception that proved
the rule? Are red hairs usually a sign that
people are likely 10 be hot-headed? a sign

biological throwback? DO redheads usually
go 70 one extreme or the other? Are they
either saints or devils?
There is something about red hair that
fascinates people. Women, more than men,
are attracted by red hair. A large number
of women think they can capture this some
thing, and render themselves more attractive,
by having their own hair dyed TO resemble
a natural Titan. 1t is quite probable, in
fact. that there are more dyed redheads than
natural born ones, so far as the fair sex is
concerned.
With men. however, ii is different. Some
men do have their hair dyed black, TO con-
ceal it's grayness. but rare is the man with
synthetic red locks That ancient Latin Lu-
cius Vcuis, adopted son Of Antoninus. did give
his hair golden CLINT by rubbing gold dust
into his locks but he was sort Of a shameless
critter in other ways. preferring 10 spend

seem TO have magnetic power over many
men Away back before Columbus sailed to

Burgundy, fell head over heels in love with
a servant girl who had golden red hair 1t
is said that, since he realized she was too far
| below his station for the love TO be expressed,
he surreptitously crept into her room in quest
of some token which he could carry next to
his heart as a fetish of his love. From the
comb on her crude dresser he carefully re-
moved and carried away a few of the golden
strands of her hair.
But this souvenir alone did not satisfy his
deep longing. So, as a writer Of 1851 cx-
pressed IL quantity 'he conceived the idea Of

the Order of the Golden Fleece" Thus, from
rulers fascination by red-headed girl was
born one of the most coveted of all decora-
tons a decoration reserved in those times
for only the rulers and the highest nobility
Some other rulers had been enchanted by
rcd hair long before the birth of the Order
Of the Golden Fleece But in their case, 1t
was a red-headcd queen who cXerted her wiles.
Cleopatra was a queen in her own right, even
though she was n bit on the homely side. But
she did have rcd hair and used IT TO full adj
vantage TO get two Roman rulers to for
get their generals and their families back in
Rome while they made love TO Cleopatra. Her
raven locks were a more dangerous weapon
than her entire armies.
Another queen, Elizabeth of England, was
also red-headed. And an outstanding queen
and ruler she was Red-headed Cleopatra Sc

was needed she did not have half the temper
OF her dcbauched father, Henry VIII who was
no redhead.

dramatic actress, was another important red
head who did have the violent temper, and
