poLYpoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question: have become very much
interested in your articles on pain1istry
n send the Impressions of both my
right and left hands, and would be
pleased to have you give me a reading
from them. B.
Answer-The hands are very strong
and denote primarily great determine
ton, ambition. diplomacy and a pas
sionate nature.
! There is denoted a constant struggle
between head and heart for supremacy.
with the chances greatly In favor Of
the head.
The presence of a Girdle OF Venus
adds greatly to the fire. which is mani
fest enough from the large, grilled
Mount Of Venus.
But for all this general indication Of
intensity in matters of affection there
appear to be only two really great, all
absorbing affairs of the heart clearly
marked in your hand. OF these the
first bears signs of having been marred
by some outside interference in the
early part of life, while the second
one-deeper and longer than the first
promises to be unclouded.
Question-Please tell me If I will
have good or bad luck, and what will
be my occupation In my 23d year. The
fingers of my right hand are fatter
than those of the left land and the
veins of my right hand make the ini-
tial tx" E. B. T.
Answer-You ascribe too great intel
ligence to me-. My gifts are far too
limited to enable me to tell from a
lean or fat finger or from the appear
ance of the veins whether a person 10
going to be lucky or otherwise or jusA
what he will engage in either for bust
ness or pastime.
l can tell, however, from the fatter
flngers-provided the Fat" Is in the
third phalanges-that you will become
more and more attracted by the good
things of life and will become especial
ly fonder of eating. That is, II you
are right-handed. II, however. you
are left-handed, the reading will be
just the reverse. That is, you will, In
that event, begin as a big eater ane
gradually taper off.

About Men
You Know

Leonard Gray, elevator man at the
Court House, is an inveterate proverb
hunter and spends all his spare time
porting over books of proverbs in hopes
of striking the right answer. OF
course, he is much interested in the
Evening STARS contest, but he does
not eonfine himself to that one lone.
Whenever Gray hears of a contest in
another city he Immediately becomes a
subscriber for tho paper running the
series, and patiently seeks the correct,
answers, even if he is barred by the
regulations from winning a prize.
You never sec Gray without a prov
erb picture in his hand and his daily
salutation to his friends is not Good
morning" but "Can you guess what
this proverb is?"
Ever win %anything?' a friend asked
Gray the other day.
NO" was the prompt reply, but 1
will some day"
Frank McDermit tells with great
relish the following story of n of his
colleagues: His friend was a student
at Princeton and occupied one of the
old dormitories. Once just before COM
menoement at a reunion of one of the
old classes his sister was visiting him
and was up in his room making her
self comfortable when the porter an
nounced a visitor, an old man who
wanted to get a peep at the room he
occupied SO long ago. Fearing that
the stranger might be embarrassed by
the sight of his sister. the young stu
dent asked her to hide in the closet
while the old man was there.
The old boy came in beaming with
good nature, peering round at every
thing, greeting his old friends. Tap
ping the table, he sighed happily, say
ing, Same old table," and in turn
everything in the room.
Same old Windows; same old bed"
n then suddenly opening the closet
door he saw the girl. Same old game,
same old game"
THAT is my sister, SIR" said TIL,
student.
Same old lie; same old lie SAID
the old codger and went away.
Few citizens Of the city and probably
many patrolmen do not know that the
police department boasts of a man
who is an accomplished musician and
composer of popular songs He is Ar
thur Linderman, motorcycle patrolman
of the First Precinct. During the past
few years he has written many songs,
which have been sung everywhere, and
from which he draws q handsome rev.
enue, He has been besieged by many
musical houses to give up his local
work and devote his entire time to
writing music. but this he has declined
to do, as he loves to be in the open
and ride his motorcycle. At the pres
ent time he has several songs which
will he introduced in a short time. He
has also written several songs per-
tanning to the life of a policeman.

IMAGINARY DISTRICTS NEWC u BOARD

Ho1 OUNTY committees are not forbidden by Constitution or
court to lay out imaginary Assembly districts, and that plan
for sectional representation in the Assembly has been fol
lowed ever since the Supreme Court astonished the State with its
decision that the unit for representation must be the same for
senator and assemblyman. But the plan is complicated by the
fact that the assemblymen are voted for on a general ticket, so
that while a candidate might carry his imaginary district he could
at the same time be defeated by the vote in the rest of the county.
You can nominate, but not elect, by imaginary districts. The new
law for a Board of Freeholders of nine members elected on a gen
eral county ticket creates the demand for imaginary freeholder dis
tricts, which the Republican County Committee proposes to ar
range for. But in the case of the new county board the plan of
district representation might be dispensed with. The less sectional
sentiment and ~selfshness in that board the better for the interests
of county government.

Say. TAFT Boast. of virtue.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
There is a news item to the effect
that President Taft refused to pardon
Morse and Walsh. In an ~administra-
ton full of glazing errors this one
move stands out as a beacon that in
other presidents would seem an or
binary thing in the course of duty.
What amuses me is the great virtue
President Taft makes of this act. He
tells how he was tempted to pardon
them on account of h influence
brought to zeal from so many sources,
and then he sticks out his chest, meta
phorically speaking, and tells us that
he did not do it, taking the opportunity
to arraign these men who are now
helpless and cannot do anything for
him politically.
He tells us how bad the men are.
We know how bad and guilty they are,
1t is because they are bad and guilty

A WELL-POLICED CITY.

NAH ITH the addition of fifty patrolmen to the police force of
WV Newark adequate protection will be given to life and
property. That consideration is certainly worth one point
in the tax levy. No amount of economic ciphering can convince the
community that additional police protection is not needed. The
outlying wards have been poorly guarded at night, and there have
been hours when the city's centre was practically unprotected. a
city that is thoroughly police patrohed and where people can rea-
sonably feel safe in their homes is always a desirable place to live
in, as we'll as to do business in.

seems that at least one paper is wide
awake enough to realize that this
growing city has at last reached a
stage where real estate is now boom
ing, and if the city we're shown up in
its true style many of our %neighbors
could, be INDUCED to locate here.
The articles are interesting and in
structive and show how the values of
property have advanced, not only in
certain localities, but all over the city.
The progress, too. is seen and the dis
appearance of the old landmarks is a
sure sign of the growth of this city
in the building line. Keep up your
work of letting the readers Of your

Before Paving, Consider subway..

before Puv1nE, COnsIueT cuoNFn'b
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Undoubtedly the Market street Mer-
chants and Taxpayers Association
have their own business interests as
we'll as those of the city at heart, and
desire to make an improvement on the
street in the shape of a smooth, quiet,
substantial, permanent pavement. But
in all the discussions and arguments
which have been produced in the
papers and before the Board of Works,
there has been no reference to laying
the foundation of the pavement in
such a manner that it shall not be
continually disturbed and taken upafor
the laying of pipes. repairs of water.
and gas mains and other similar matt
ters. ss e.a
Before a suitable pavement can be
laid in Market street it houfd be set
tied for the next ten years at least.
whether there is going to be a subway
or not. Probably in the future the
old Morris and Essex Canal on Canal
street can be used, but the question
should be put at rest definitely one
way or the other. Also, in addition TO
this, the subway pipes and conduits
for electric light wires. gas and water
mains, and if possible, the underground
trolley system, similar to that adopted
in New York city, which gives re-
lief from poles and wires. should be NJ
stalled, and before the contemplated
expensive pavement, its foundations
should not be disturbed or destroyed.
Anyone travelling on New York
streets. like Madison avenue, Broadway
and the other thoroughfares of the
metropolis. can appreciate how much
more advantageous and attractive 1t
Is to have the wires underground,
| rather than overhead trolleys.
Until these questions are settled no
permanent, substantial, lasting pave
ment should be laid.
In the meantime also, the merchants
should press the opening and extension
OF Ward street, from Canal street
across Market to Lafayette street,
which would furnish an outlet for
teams and traffic inc relieve the con-
jestion on Market street.
Canal street should be opened and
repaved, with, the ultimate removal OF
the market from its unhealthy Local
ton on the canal to a more attractive
and sanitary position between Com
merces and Canal streets, with an open
market in some other locality.
