LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30.-Ber-
tee Beaumonte, a frisky footed
whirl of fluffery, who earns her
rather than the quickness of her
brain; for Bertee is the latest
thing in dancing, Gaby not except
ed, has a bunch that the eyes are
windows of The soul.
Il can form a correct estimate
of a persons character few min
utes after being introduced-ofte
without an introduction. 1t is very
useful. You know a girl has to
make catch-as-catch-can udgments
of cabbage heads and kings. So
any little key to character is gold
en-, especially If it works quick
and sure" That's the valuable
end of eye reading, according to
Bertee.
For me, give me the eye, !"
Bertee continued. Let me catch
a square look at the eye and I'll
tell what is behind it. The eye is
the truest test of character. It's
a sure tell-tale.
"How do l know? By observa-
ton, remembrance-and expert
ence.
"If eyes are close together, you
may be sure the person is jealous
and hypocritical. In a husband
they almost prophesy divorce. In
a woman they often mean deceit.
'If eyes are far apart they as
sure a good memory and usually
intelligence.
DEEPEST eyes see too much and
see it darkly. The soul behind
them is moody and generally mel
ancholic.
"Protruding eyes, or inelegantly
expressed pop-eyes, denote self-in-
diligence. Their owners eat and
drink too much. Moreover, though
they stick out, they are turned in.
They see value in things only as
those things contribute to the self
comfort and enjoyment"
Bertee then lectured on the
shape of eyes.
Eyes vary in shape from mere
Sits to circles" she stated, land
only expert scrutiny can tell the
exact significance of each shape.
Speaking generally, wide-open,
round eyes are typical of mind
that is not developed; that is cred
ulous and serious about small talk
and gossip. They often accom-
pany natures that have little self
control.

IF eyes are oval or almond
shaped, beware of crafty and sly
person, especially If there is an
outward droop to point.
Gray eyes denote intellect and
well-balanced character. They are
typical of unselfishness, but they
seek justice. When they are set
beneath broad, high forehead,
they indicate great talent.
Brown eyes, particularly If
they have a touch of hazel, denote
courage, intelligence and affec-
ton. But if an arched eyebrow is
above the hazel eye look out for a
tickle person.

Convince Irost any one with a

Watch for the small cavities,
1t is much cheaper and better
to have a cavity filled When
they are small than when they
get to aching and too large to
hold filling properly. By
neglecting the small cavities
they soon have to Re capped

illustrate how the colloquial politeness
of one locality may become the dread

on a train which stopped at a small
southern railroad station took advan-
tage of an opportunity to exchange
pleasantries with an old negro woman
who sells sandwiches made of deli
cious fried chicken.

you raise your own chickens?"

as shall lead 10 the accomplishments OF
this end
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that our home secretaries
should use all legitimate means to
arouse public sentiment among the
white people In the communities where
there is large colored population In
favor of proper housing and sanitation
among the negroes, and that efforts
should be made to enlist employers OF
negroes in towns, cities and country In
reasonable plans for the social better
ment of the negroes in their employ.
The committee hereby expresses its
sympathy with sane and well matured
negroes who are making efforts to bring
about through their leagues the educa-
tional, Industrial and moral improve
ment of their people,
After discussing the question of train
ing colored workers the following res
olution was adopted:
I'VE believe that Paine college should
be the educational center through
which the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, should at present undertake to
prepare colored men and women for
religious service. We respectfully rec
ommend that the board of education
and the board of missions and the trus-
tees of Paine college consider the adj
visibility at their next meeting of es-
tablishing training school as de-
partment of Paine college for the
training and equipment of young wom-
en- deaconesses, settlement workers,
Sunday school teachers and for other
religious work"

CANADA'S CENSUS
A THlRTY-TWo PER CENT IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown in the results. of the census
recently made public. The population
of the Dominion is now placed at
7,081, 1863, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring it up to
IN millions as compared with 5,371,-
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present total as
large as was expected but they do
show greater increase of percentage
in population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was $40; the per-
centage Of increase In Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus it will be seen
that the provinces west of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping Of grain and the Valleys of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply it's neigh
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic Of
the expectations Of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but a spare scattering
Of people; but today, no matter in
which way you go, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 1920 in 1901; Manitoba's 1884,
691 compares well with it's 255,211 in
1901; and so does that of British Co
Iumbia-362,7 68 as against 17S,657 in
1901; but in q territory as large as
this population Of 1913 900 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; it's cities, Winnipeg
with $4,000; Vancouver with upwards
of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge; Medicine Hat, Mooseiaw
splendid cities-none better any
where; well maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development OF the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but
beginning. The next decade will
show far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi-
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
OF the best exhibits of farm products
that has ever been made and it will
be we'll worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.
