RED HAIR SCARCE, §0 15 TRUE BLACK Science Finds Interesting Things Rbout Top Locks Washington, July 6. — The blond girl has become a subject of sclentific research. Included in the annual re- port of the Smithsonlan Institution, is a serious scientific paper by Drl Ales Hrdlicka of the United States National museum, dealing with the color of the eyes, hair and ekin of 2,000 men and women members of old American families, . The real blonde, Dr. Hrdlicka finds, is a rare ohject, but far rarer still are the true red heads, and most rare of all is the absolute brunette. Among men and women he found little dif- ference in the frequency of blonds and brunettes, hut there are five red- headed women to two red .headed men, One out of every 16 men has real blonde hair; one out of every 50 has red hair; one out of every 100 has hair that is truly black. One of every 14 women has blonde hair; one out of every 20 women has red hair: one out of every 100 has solld black hair. Those in between are in the ma- Jjority—the mousy browns, the dish- water grays and those with no hair at all. One in every 200 men has -pure white skin, whereas one in 50 women can claim that’ distinction.

YORK Bricklayers Shun $12 When They Gan Get $16 a Day New York, July 6. — With brick- layers in this city apparently almost as scarce as gold nuggets in the Coney Island sand, Mayor Hylan's commit- tee on school construction met yes- terday a dozen school contractors in an effort to pry enoughavorkers loose from other jobs to end the hold-up of 14 sorely needed public schools. Many sad tales were told. W. J. Hanna, in an effort to rush along th told his men they might work Sun- day. The wage was $24 a day. They did work. The next day, when the wage was only $12, several of them did not show up. “Couldn’t we,” asked Mr. Hanna, ‘give them the freedom of the city or on the schools?” Unions Fails to Pmfldb Men It was decided that a process which {s in effect drafting bricklayers by the unions would be the resort. The unions met the committee three weeks ago and agreed to provide the men at $12 a day, which the builders consented to pay, although most of them had made contracts at a con- templated rate of $10. At that time 188 bricklayers were at work. The builders reported vesterday they had only 175 men. The trouble is that plenty of other jobs are paying from $15 to $16 a day to all the good men obtainable. “We have got to get down to the draft,” said John J. Donnelly, one of the union representatives. “You can't expect men with families to work on the schools for $12 when they can get $15 elsewhere. There is only one job in town that is paying $1.50 an hour and you (to the school builders) wouldn't employ a single one of the men on that job. There are young men whose only care is themselves, We ought to be able to draft enough to fizish the school houses.” The builders agreed they would fur- nish to each bricklayer who accepts a school job now an {dentification card which would be, in effect, a con- tract that if a slack season comes the man holding the card will receive preference in employment. This suggestion followed one that to equalize the wages of the men on school jobs and others. This didn't seem to appeal to the union represen- tatives, The builders furnished to the union men a list of schools where 204 men are needed at once and the agents promised to take necessary MEN WORTH MILLION 10 THEIR BUSINESS tung by Their Companies Chicago, July 6.—The death of 14 leaders in the industrlal and financial life of Chicago would cause losses to the firms with which they are con- nected of $15,250,000. Such, at least, was the interpretation being placed today upon an announcement made by D. R. Day, president of the Life Underwriters’ association, that the lives of 14 prominent Chicagoans had hror?ytnsured by their firms for this total. The theory underlying this form of insurance has basis in the insurance Jlaw itself, which states that any per- son or corporation having an “insur- able interest,” may take out a policy. In the case of the 14 men mentioned Mr. Day, the premiums on the policies are paid ,by the companies with which they are identifiled. It |has been pointed out that the 10ss of in the manwgement | a central figure of any big corporation is a serious blow. Good will—that Intangible but very important item on the credit side of the ledger—is very often in- jured by the death of some man whose name has meant power in the industrial and financial world. The largest policy described by \(r‘ Day 1is one for $2,500,000 taken out| by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender company, internationally known man-| ufacturers of pool and billiard tables, for its president, R. E. Bensinger. | Mr. Bensinger has directed the poli- He| one cies of the company since 1911. is the son of Moses Bensinger, of the founders of the concern. The life of Louis F. Swift, the| packer, has been insured for $1,800,- 000. The third largest policy $1,750,000, was taken out for Henry| M. Byllesby, president of H. M.| Byllesby & Co., public utility engin-| eers and directors. Seven Chicago men are insured by their concerns for $1,000,000 each.| They are Julius Rosenwald, head of| Sears, Roebuck & Co.; Samuel In- sull, president of the Commonwealth FEdison company; Marshall Field 3d; William Wrigley, Jr. and Thomas E.| Wilson & Co., packer: Augustus Peabody, of the banking Houghteling & Co., is insured for $500,000. Mr. Peabody is treasurer and vice president of the company. Among the other Chicago men included in the total of $15,- 250,000 of insurance, are Alexander of Hillman's In Dispute Over Well Shreveport, La., July 6.—Mrs. Min- ard Terry was shot and killed in pistol battle with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Norman Terry, at Good Ex- change Settlement, Cass Courty, Tex- as, Tuesday, as a result of a dispute over a well, according to a report re- ceived here yesterday.
