Dislike Curly Haired Men.

It is not generally known that ia a well defined prejudice against curly haired men when It comes to choosing a jury. When asked to explain the objection to curly haired men a prominent lawyer said: ( “When I was just starting life my legal mentor inculcated that idea very forcibly Into me. He said that curly haired men almost invariably had been the pampered darlings of their parents and In their youth had been so accustomed to having their own way that they had grown up in the belief that everybody on earth was wrong except themselves. In this way >he seeds of opposition were sown, and as men they made it a point to disagree with everybody and everything. If every other man on a Jury vote£ one way they would vote the other. They usually are as stubborn as the day is long; hence a curly haired man never goes on a jury if I can prevent it.”— Exchange.
