EYES-A. Y. w. City. What Is the rule for
determining the character of people BY the color
OF their eyes?
writer on The Human, Eye says:
Large, clear, blue eyes usually de-
note sensibility of character, and
capacity for and willingness to work
Inc owner OF such eyes is also likely
10 be fond OF enjoyment, jealous and
olten very inquisitive. Those who have
deep set eyes. receive impressions ac-
curateiy and definitely. Great think
ers usually have cold gray eyes, for
gray is the color of shrewdness and
talent Eyes of this description gen
eraily denote better heads than hearts.
Greenish eyes occur more frequently in
women than In men. They denote cour-
age, energy and pride. Occasionally
they accompany jealous, vengeful dis
position and sometimes are indicative
OF treachery Round eyed persons are
not great thinkers; they are open
hearted, observant and often inclined
TO too much luxury. Persons with mar
feel with greater intensity. Brown
eyes denote a loving though a judicious
temperament Women with light brown
eyes are fond of gayety, are shrewd
and often of coquettish disposi-
ton. The writer adds: mo two pairs
OF eyes of the same color are exactly,
alike, therefore it would be impossible
to give any fixed rule for thus read
ing character"

CADILLAC MAKES
REMARKABLE Run
FROM BAKERSFIELD TO LOS AN
GELES, OVER DESERT AND
MOUNTAINS IN MUD.

On top Of a record OF $500 miles in
the rough and tumble service of a
California Oil Company, a Cadillac
Thirty recently made a trip of $50
miles that was remarkable for the
conditions encountered A heavy rain
fell during the entire run and time
after time the men took desperate
chances in driving the car down noun
tains soft with mud and over roads
that were veritable streams of water.
The trip was from Maricopa to Los
Angeles, the party first striking out
into the desert to the foot of Trejon
Pass The open country was the road
and Trojon was reached at dusk, IN
spite of the deep sand and abode that
were encountered In descending the
heavy mountain grades in mud and
water no chains or ropes were used;
and this Cadillac is SAID to be the
first car ever sent down Newhall
pass without such auXilaries. Several
times in the San Francisquito Caoynn
the car slid dangerously near the eGse
of the road, where the going over CT
one wheel would have meant a thou
sand foot plunge into the valley be-
low
During the year that the car has
been in use, it has been on the go
continuously, over roads and over the
open country where such a course
meant the cutting off Of miles.
This car has been given frightfuI
service during the last six weeks,
said Frank Terry, the driver, in Los
Angeles THE oil excitement has
kept the machine going night and
day. This has meant a continual ham
mering, ana certainly tnat kind Ct
work brings out what is good in d
car. The fact that We are ready tc
start back TO-DAY speaks well for the
