"All mankind," said Major II u rat, n
well known English student of eu
genics, "may be divided into those
who nro red haired nnd those who
are not red haired. It Is a fundamental
difference.'' In almost every case of
a red haired child the major has suc
ceeded In discovering n red linlred an
cestor, nnd ho thinks that practically
tho whole of tho red haired population
springs from a single red haired man
far back in the past. Hero are some
of his conclusions:
In order for red to appear It must bo
in the ancestry on both sides.
A red father and a dark mother, or
vlco versa, hardly over have n red
child.
Two reds always hnvo red offspring.
But it Is exceedingly rnro to And two
reds pinrry, as they seem to hnvo n
rnutnal' antipathy.
It is'rt popular fallncy that red haired
pcrspnn hnvo any dlNtlnetlvo tempera
monk They are no mora hot tem
pered than other people.
