A start ling note of warning to ' blue-eyed, liglit-eoinplfxioncd New Yorkers is uttered by Dr. ('buries E. Woodruff, surgeon nnd major in the United States army, who has just com pleted u private tour of the city and asylums of the ;ity and state. The jails and institutions, be says, are full of blondes who, unable to stand tlio struggle for existence in a climate to which they uro unfitted, linvo fal len into poverty, disease and crime. In Clinton prison, says I)r. Wood ruff, where tlio worst fuses of eriru- nnls are confined, and where bo ex pected to find the place full of mod ern "blackboards," be was astonished it the lurge number of blonds, some of them of very light type. Of 2.M convicts whose hair color was available for comparison, there were 19 with very light hair, 01 with light brown, 151 with dark brown, and 112 with black. Of m arly fjOOO men whose average age wus miller 21, admitted to the Klmira reformatory, Dr. Woodruff found the types clarified themselves s follows to their hair: blonde 31b , ed, !I0;. sandy, 103; light brown, 1203 dark brown, 141!); black, 1400. ' Of 0'l2 aged paupers on Black- well's Inland, says Dr. Woodruff, only one-fourth are . nutivc horn. Drink had broken most of them down, and from this Dr. Woodfuff argues that the underlying nervous cause of nlcliousm is tar more prevalent m i blondes than in brunettes in Sew i York city. The thirst for ulchobol, Dr. Wood ruff says, is merely the expression of a nervous weakness acquired under America's sunny skies, and result ing from excessive stimulation of light ns one of a thousand causes.
