Why Should Gentlemen Prefer ’Em?
“Do blondes make the dumbest wives?” These girls feel differently about that question, but they refuse to let it interfere with their friendship. Left to right, first row: Marie Eggelton, Margaret Lynch, Ruth Blessing. Above: Eva Witz.
Merry War of Beauties Rages While Pastors Smile'and Hair Dyers Get Rich. r ~ I OME say they are and some say they’re not! Chicago ministers have been adding to the gaseous repuI | tation of that city by engaging in a heated controversy upon the question, “Are blondes dumb?”
The Rev. F. V. Loos, who says he has married 4,500 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 Chicago’s largest church, who said: “It’s not the color of the hair, but the coloring of the gray matter that counts.” The Rev. A. Bash Arford, 1516 Olney St., pastor of the Brookside Park United Brethren Church, not only spoke kindly of the fair-haired fraternity's brains, but of their disposition. “In my twenty years’ experience at officiating at weddings, I have repeatedly noticed the calmer, sweeter, better natured mental attitude of the blonde-haired brides,” he said. “Dark complexioned brides often give way to moods. They’re more introspective and less good natured.” “Tut, Tut!” Say Some “The question is absurd,” declared the Rev. J. B. Rosemurgy, 37 S. Johnson Ave., pastor of the Irvington Methodist Episcopal Church. “How can one make any decision in the few minutes’ observation while marrying a couple? Maybe a psychologist, having devoted particular thought to judging by contour, may be able to judge also by coloring, but I’ll confess that if blonde brides are dumber than brunettes, I don’t know it.” * The Rev. W. H. Zimmerman, 626 Somerset Ave., pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, also confessed himself somewhat at sea. “As one of the younger ministers, my opinion has perhaps not had time to properly congeal,” he laughed. “I really don’t see that coloring could possibly enter into the question. With the Rev. Delacy of Chicago, I should say dumbness is not affected by the hairs of the head. It’s ridiculous.” Beauty Experts Speak But Mrs. Viva H. Fulton, proprietor 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, emphatically. “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, 21 W. Sixteenth St., was sure that brunettes were away behind in brain action. “If you don’t believe it, look how much quicker blondes can get married,” she challenged. Her sister blonde, Miss Eva Witz, 1304 N. Pennsylvania St., nodded assent, but the brunettes, Miss Marie Eggleton, 1815 Roosevelt Ave., and Miss Ruth Blessing, 1641 Central Ave., laughed derisively, ‘But look how many more brunettes actually do,!” they said.

DIES FROM_DOG BITE Racine (Wis.) Man Victim of Indiana Epidemic. Indiana’s rabies epidemic has caused a death as far away as Racine, Wis., according to a letter sent Dr. William F. King, State health board secretary, by Dr. W. W. Bauer, Racine health officer. It tells of a Racine citizen dying from the bite of a collie puppy, purchased from a litter at Rochester, Ind. The slow process of rabies infection is well illustrated by the letter, Dr. King points out. The dog was shipped from Indiana May 2. It bit its owner, Wilfred Haumesen, Racine, on June 13. He became violently ill on June 27 and died two days later. It sometimes takes from thirty to forty days for the disease to become violently active, Dr. King said. AGED STEREOTYPER DIES William J.

TELEVISION TO SPANSEA NEXT Scotch Inventor Coming to Make Ocean Tests. Bn United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The next great link of scientific communication binding America to E;irope, transmission of human faces and other moving images by radio across the Atlantic, may be welded during August following arrival here of John L. Baird, young Scotch inventor and developer of television. Announcement of Baird’s plans for the first transoceanic tests, made by Popular Science Monthly, is accompanied by his expression of confidence that television service between the old and new worlds “will be established on a commercial in the near future.” Baird, who recently transmitted distinguished moving faces by wire from London to Glascow, a distance of 438 miles, surpassing the American record of 200 miles made between Washington and New York, is ore of the most romantic figures in the history of invention. Less than five years ago he was impoverished, working in a London attic room to create his first crude electrical vision apparatus out of old bicycle parts other discarded materials. Today he is backed by a $625,000 company, has already established the world’s television station, licensed by the British postoffice, and it is reported, plans the establishment of a series of stations in America and Europe.

DROWSY PUBLIC HELPED STEVE, TBACYASSERTS Alert Voters Only Guarantee of Efficient, Clean Government. “The rest of the country is expecting Indiana to clean house politically,” M. E. Tracy, ScrippsHoward columist said today. “Indiana has always been looked on as a foremost State in education and literature and it is somewhat of a shock to see the Hoosier State make such a record as it has in ihe last six years,” Tracy declared. Steve More Ambitious “The issue is somewhat similar in other States where the Klan was in power. The situation in Texas five years ago resulted in the election of “Ma” Ferguson as Governor to clean out the Klan. Then it was necessary to clean up her to finish the thing. “Indiana conditions are a little worse because David C. Stephenson as head of the Klan was a little more ambitious and clever and more unscrupulous. Public indifference 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 becomes effective in January, 1930, is the* logical type of government for cities. “A city is more a business than a political proposition. How’ever, the city manager, form brings with it a grave danger—that of developing a I new type of bossism in the city manager. “An 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 a tour of Eastern and Middle-Western States to study conditions. He has been in Terre Haute and Evansville this week and will remain here uni til Saturday. j Tracy first obtained fame while I 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 to say about Indiana politics. He will | study conditions first hand while in Indianapolis. Opinion Svndcated Tracy’s opinion is syndicated daily to the twenty-six newspapers of the Scripps-Howard chain. Tracy, a native of Maine, became blind when an infant. An operation partially restored his sight at the age of 8 months. He received his education at the famous Perkins institute for the blind. He was able to read an ordinary book at 18. He was scheduled to speak before Kiwanis Club members Wednesday at the Claypool, but was unable to reach Indianapolis in time. Boyd Gurley, The Indianapolis Times editor, spoke in place of Tracy. Gurley compared the newspaper of old with the modern product. War Veteran, 93, Dies By Times Special LEBANON, Ind., Aug. 4.—Martin Summers, 93, Civil War veteran, and father of Mrs. Sarah E.
