By JM firinMey THE BEE: OMAIIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911. j The ee e Blonde have a SO per cent better chance than brunettes to marry." Lady Briareroft "Fair girls are Impressionable, tweet and trusting, and make a stronger appeal to men.' Dr. W. J. Gomersall. "I found of English women per cent of brunette were married: only fiS per cent Of blondes. The race Is being made dark by selection. Men marry the dark g iris." Dr. Beddoe. "So fond were the Romans of golden kalr that flatterers called dark women. In compliment, 'honey colored. "Lucre tius. "The Greek and the Roman women bleached their hair; the American, the European, and the Bouth Pea Island women do now." Auerbacker. "There is scarcely an old master or en Old poet who haa painted or sung a dark woman. Helen of Troy. Dante's Beatrice. Milton's Eve. all the madonnas, all the angels. were blonde." Wlnckelmann. "Fhakfspeare had but - two ' bMnde women In all bis plays. The brunette baa it Inst come Into popular favor. The brunette today Is more popular than the blonde Her beauty la superior, more re fined, more lasting. "Henry T. Finck. "The blonde type Is doomed In America She Is parsing away Ilka the snowa in the) sun's heat, tf she cannot develop a dark akin to protect herself she must succumb." Surgeon Major Charles Wood ruff, U. 8. A. Gladstone, Adolph de Candoll. Dr. Bnddoe, Walts, and others show the blonde type Is passing away In Germany, Franca and England. In Oermany, one the home of the type, only 31.8 per cent are now pure blondes; In Austria, only 19 T per cent. A student of this subject, writing In the Chicago Tribune, asserts that In ancient times the blonde girl had the pick of all - the princes and knights, while her dark sister was doing tha best ahe could with bank clerks and motor car conductors. In the famous paintings of the old mas ters there are not ten of women with black hair. Titian left only one portrait of a brunette, or at leaat af an open and admitted brunette. The Romans showed their preference for tha blonda type by tha quantity of yellow German hair they Imported. Tha angels of the old paint ers axe all blondes. Only tha devil was painted black. Dr. Beddoe examined tha first 728 woman of pure type he could find In Eng land. Of this number, SS9 were brunette and 867 blonde. Ha holds the theory that tha English race Is . being darkened in eolor by selection. Men marry the dark women. Gladstone, years ago. made the statement that tha pur blonda type was dying out. M. Adolphe da Candolle, a French auth ority, declares tha blonda type is disap pearing in that country. In Jarrold, It la aald of England that aa lata as Henry VIH'a Una that the predominating type waa red headed. This Is certainly not the ease new: In Germany, according to Waits,, tha pur blonda type which waa almost universal hi tha middle ages, it fast dying Out. In Germany, Switseriand, Belgium and Austria an examination was recently made of almost U. 000, 000 school children. The result was that In Bwitser t land the percentage of pure blonde chll ' dren was only 1X1, In Austria it was 19.79, and In Germany MS. In some places the peroentaga of pur brunettes had reached aa high aa 25. This, be It remembered. In the very home and cradle of tha blonda races. If the yellow-haired, blue-eyed girl is becoming more scarce and harder to find every year It would appear to be unques tionable that In time she will become a rarity, and as such valued above all other things.

Take a tip from Hamlet when he says he must be cruel only to be kind. And, when you get tired of playing missionary to your own sex, light into us. 'Til bet more than I did at the aviation meet that you can soak us a few that will leave us dripping. I can't help but think it takes a good deal of selt-reatralnt on your part aometlmas to keep from putting over a knockout blow for one of the man. Tou have a cinch on the fact that a man is a mean to an end in the develpment of a womn. Tou've got your , feet set on a piece of the elemental foundation. Bully for you, I say! May they never slide off. even if the girls squirt cold water all over you and make your footing slippery!" Mr. Man, you are quite right.

Thanks for your good advioe. Theae ladles I shall soak till they are dissolve! I shall roaat they till they bound and bounce on the grill! I shall pan them till they what Is "panning?" I cannot think what a terribly "panning" person would do. Rut whatever it is they should do, I will try to make them accomplish.

W thought you were shifting the bed." Answers Autauiu. This is the first day of Autumn. The fact is referred to mere ly as indicating that the cal endar says summer has gone. It doesn t make any dufei ence how you feel about it, or what your thermometer says, summer is ended. And it's nearly time. Talk about winter linKenng in (he lap of fcpring'. Nothing like tho way tiuiimiet- hung on was ever witnessed in the urinals of the VVeatbtr bureau and that a (nine annals. Hummer didn t commence officially until the Hist of June, but as a matter of tact It commenced about the middle of April and it stuck on clear up to the I'mit, and worked a little overtime at it. (so we're glad that Autumn is arrived, burning leaves and tiagy say. golden sunshine, glorious atteigiow In the even ing, mornings that tell of the the mystery of existence, fool ball, pumpkin pie, Ak-Bar-ben and tne general election are some of the attributes of Autumn. And this is the first day of Autumn. Economy. The members of the city council are surely economical, no matter what othea may say. Each meeting night the janitor puts a nice new box no matter what others may man s desk not a stingy peny box, but one of the real kind. And when the meeting is over, each councilman takes hia box along home with him, ao that it won't be wasted dur ing the week. If this isn t real economy, we'd like to know what Is. . OMAHA STIERED UP Weather Man Wins a Guess and Canses Great Excitement. Much excitement prevailed in our midst on Wednesday. Excited groups of men were seen on the streets and else where, and the talk was con tinuous, as each accosted the other and recounted what he had noted. In the busy marts of trade tile rush slackened while man spoke to man, and woman to woman, and each whlapered or shouted the news. Something of importance bad occurred. Only an event of the utmost general lntsrest could have so disturbed the community. The astonishment of everybody waa evinced, and yet ail seemed to accept the condition as inevitable, not undertaking to ascribe a rea son, nor to suggest any method for averting the eventuality. The truth waa too apparent to escape, and so the people submitted with a sense of fa tality that left no room for doubt. RAI.V FELL. The weather forecaster had at last had a guess come true. Enough water actually fell from the sky to da4iien the ground on the surface, and a base ball name was postponed on account of It. This fact had some bearing on the prospects of the Omaha team for win ning the Western league pen nant, and consequently added to the general excitement of the day, but only as an in cident. Rain really fell in Omaha on Wednesday. Lather. The city council having backed away from it. and the police court having decided that the tonic covers the whole case, lather may now be mixed in Omaha on Sun day with Impunity, and water, and the barbers who do not care to do It can enjoy watch ing the other barbera who are not so particular. Jauket. One nice way for the city council to have settled the junket row would have been to send the whole outilt on the trip. The city woulj le quite aa well off without is with them. Well r You'll notice that Mayor Jim's name is conspicuously absent from the news col umns that deal with the pro ceedings of the city coun cil In these pre-commlssloa days. Peeves. - One might almost reach the conclusion that Lee Bridges isn't at all pleaeed at the thought of Fred Cosgrove going to Atlanta. CITY HALL MYSTERY Bumble Bee Reporter Es tablishes Identity of a etraaare Visitor. A mysterious stranger put in appearance at the city hall Thursday. "Do you not know me?" he asked of City Clerk Butter. "Yea, I do not know you." responded the rotund Daniel, and he went straight ahead looking out of the window. "Alas." sighed the stranger, "how soon we are forgotten," and he strolled down the cor ridor. "Hello, Fred." he aald, bursting in a door, "how are you, and how are ail the folks?" "The folks are well, thank you," answered Comptroller Cosgrove, "but I do not place you." "Sad. sad is my fate," ru minated the visitor, and he made hla way to the elevator. George Ablin paid no attention to him other than to secure his request to be taken to the mayor's office. "Howdy, Jim," was the greeting with which he sa luted the mayor, but a digni fied, frozen smile was his re turn. Jim recognized him not. So he turned and went down stalra, avoiding the ele vator, and waa making his w'ay out of the bulldteig when the lynx-eyed reporter for The Bumble Bee saw him. "Hello," he said, "ain't you the man who was going; to put In some public comfort sta tions in Omaha?" "I am." said the stranger, "but no one around here tenows me now." and he faded among the crowd on Farnam atreet. Poller.

In an hour or so the went out and found that the man had uncovered about two quarts of the tubers. "Well," said the parson, "you don't believe in overworking yourself, do you?" 'Oh," replied the laborer, "I work ac cording to scripture.'' "Where in the Bible csn you find any thing that Justifies your taking an hour to dig two quarts of potatoes r "Why this: 'Let your moderation be known to all men.' ' The minister thought this rather witty and he took the man to dinner. The moderate worker did not prove to be a moderate eater; in fact, he cleared the table. I "You don't seem to eat according to your text." remarked his host, watching the viands disappear. "No." replied the tired man, plying hia knife and fork faster thao ever. "I have another text for this: "Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might!" "Humph!" said the clergyman. "My good man, you've got your two texts misplaced." f Great Salt Mine 3 A mine was discovered In the district of Le. Pas. Bolivia. In MM), from which the silver was cut with chisels. The great salt lake at Obdorsk. Siberia, is nine miles wide and ssvonteen miles long, yet except In a few places it i sol idly roofed over wtih a leposlt of salt, which is becoming thicker and thkl.er each year, says the Scientific Anie Usn. About the middle of the last tntm v salt crystals first began to gather upon tha surface of the water. Year by year, tnlrg to the evaporation of the water, the crya tals became more and more numeous, and then caked together until this great roof was formed. In 1I7S the v.iter be neath this salt crystal roof found an un derground outlet into the Obi river. 1 his lowered the lake's surface about three feet, leaving that distance oetweea tha water and the roof, and each year this distance haa been diminishing by the con stant addition of salt crystals to the toof. Many springs surround this lake. Their wster flows oves the roof and tvaporates there, and h.. continually adds to Its thickness. AVr many yea.s the springs will probably become ci oked wlt'n their own deposits, and then the whole will te come covered with earth, so that a great salt mine will be formed a treasure tor the Siberians hundreds of years to come. Gauls in remote times dressed In skins, tattooed their flesh, drank out of the skulls of their foes and treated all stran gers as their natural enemies. Clvlllxa Uon among them began In HOu.
