FEET DECLARED TRUE
INDEX OF CHARACTER
New Science Of "Solestry" Said to
Show Criminal Instncts-Toes,
Heel, and Lines Indicative.

known as ''Solestry," the new science
which enables an expert to tell what
sort of a man or woman a baby will be
by studying the feet, may prove to be
of the greatest value when applied to
criminology; for, while 1t can reveal
nothing about a PERSONS length of life
or health, Il has so much TO do with the
moral nature that, according to Countess
Melunsine, a well-known French woman
who has discovered this new science, il
iJ possible with its aid to detect GRIM
inal instincts.
The countess, who has been permitted
by the Partisan police to study the feet
OF criminals in jails, says she has never
examined the foot of a murderer whose
big toe was not pronounced by its short
ness and stumpiness, even in comparison
with the other toes, which are generally
short in criminals.
Solestry takes into consideration not
only the shape OF the toes and heels, but
lays great emphasis on the lines appear
ing on the soles.
A high instep denotes self-confldencs
and nature leaning toward pride ana
haughtiness- II the instep Is low II Is
a sign of indecision.
Bent, turned-in toes always are found
in cold, selfish persons who are stingy
and thoughtless Of the rights OF others.
People who are very cleanly in their
habits and prefer outdoor exercise to
reading and studying have very long toes.
Toes Of medium length, which are at the
same time delicate and shapely. are an
indication of highly artistic tempera-

ward Grant to William Delehanty.
They tried them, and as a result both
are in St Luke's Hospital today. Grant
was found in a retiring room at the ferry
house. Delehanty was unconscious in a
hay mow A bottle of the tablets WAS
found by the side of Grant who says
they only took four apiece, and neither
had any idea such a small number would
have serious results.
The tablets have rs grains If bichloride
of mercury in them, and were given
Grant by a friend. Physicians say the
men cannot live seventy-two hours. Both
are paralyzed. They begged the physi-
clans to pull them through.

DANIELS WANTS CITIES
To fight FOR PLANT
Believes Establishment Of Armor Plate
Factory Would Be Assured
In This Way.
WOULD SAVE NATION MONEY

Secretary Daniels wants many large
cities to get busy fighting for the gov
eminent armor plate factory which he
will ask Congress to give him next ses-
sion.
Il wish every city with natural ad-
vantages would start in trying to get
this factory" said the Secretary yester-
day. Il am glad to see that Baltimore
has started out after it, Philadelphia
ought to be in the fight behind the bill
introduced by Representative Ware,
which calls for the location Of the fac
tory in the Quaker City. Philadelphia is
a natural iron center. Cleveland would
be a good location.
81 don't care where it is located, just
so We get the factory don't care
whether the location is left to the depart
ment or whether the naval affairs or
appropriations committee selects the
site"
How much of an appror. .iation do you
expect to ask for?'
We'll, there have been various esti-
mates, ranging between S.OOo,o00 and
Ss,OOO,OOO. My idea is to ask Congress to
authorize the entire amount this next
year, but to appropriate only enough to
purchase the cite and commence prelimi-
nary work. / do not believe the first
years appropriation would need to ex-
ceed 1.Ooo,oOO or s1,5Oo,OOG The remainder
would be spread over two or three years.
Il feel sure that the government fac
tory would work a great economy. Armor
plate could not be the only material man
ufactured. We could turn out gun bor-
tngs, and much material both for the
army and the navy which now is being
purchased from private, and in some in
stances, non-competitive firms"

BRAIN MOST ACTIVE
In EARLY MORNING
Many Business and Literary Men Do
Most Of Their Work Between
2 and S O'clock.

I read the other day that Pierre-Loti
does his best literary work in the hours
between and in the morning, and that
his reason Is that his brain is more ac-
tive then" said a successful Wall Street
business man. His reputation is that of
a man who never works, and yet man
ages to do more than a half dozen men
who hustle every minute from in the
morning until 4 in the afternoon.
He enjoys this reputation, and helps
keep II alive But his idleness is a pose
Il am up at 9 o'clock every morning.
except Saturdays and Sundays, take a
cold plunge, and dig into work with a
clear head and active brain until 5
o'clock or so, when 1 turn in for a nap
until T. It's perfectly quiet up where I
live, in the early morning, except for an
occasional toot of an auto or motorcycle
horn. That's the time I digest annual
reports, tables of statistics my clerks
have prepared during the day, study
weather maps and prognostications, and
make plans OF both the day ahead Of
me and the near future.
Lots of men work that way, though
the world does not know it The late ].
Pierpont Morgan was a great night
worker Some of the biggest plans he
ever worked out were Matched in the
early morning hours after he had had a
good sleep. and had walked up refreshed
and with all his wonderful intellect
alert.
II have a friend who is a professor at
Columbia, man OF international repu-
tation, and he does his great work and
his best writing when the rest Of the
world slumbers, between and in the
morning. Among my friends is one who
is called free lance or a hack
writer and he does all his work be-
tween and in the morning"

OFFICIAL BIOLOGISTS
NOW ON FIELD WORK
Washington Office Practically De-
serted, lis Force Distributed
Throughout Country.

Questions of material development-oi
the value and best use of land or OF the
utilization of the country's latest re-
sources-occupy a prominent place in the
public thought these days. Among such
questions are those relating to the loca-
tion or development OF gold and silver
deposits, or oil wells, or artesian water
supplies; to the value Of coal lands; to
the possibilities of developing the water
power on rivers: to the use of land for
dry farming, and to the proper location
Of transmission lines or the interurban
railways. On all these questions and
others relating to the earth's surface, its
rocks and minerals and ores, 70 water
and its best use, the United States Geo.
logical Survey IS the court OF last re-
sort
In answering these inquiries the sur
vey distributes over 100000 printed re-
ports and maps each year and answers
thousands of letters concerning areas not
covered by printed reports
Some 5000 inquiries are received by
the survey every year from the General
Land Office as to the character Of lands
whether these lands are valuable for
coal, mineral deposits. or agricultural
use, or have any possibilities for the de-
velopment- of water power or reservoirs
for irrigation, as the classification Of the
public lands is by law made one OF the
primary functions OF the Geological Sur
vey. =
To prepare these maps and reports and
to answer these letters OF inquiry re-
quires an intimate, first-hand knowledge
Of the questions involved that can be
had only in the field; so that at this
season of the year the Washington office
of the survey Is almost deserted and the
men are scattered from Maine to Cali
fornia, from the lava slopes Of Hawaii
to Northern Alaska.

HUERTAGIVEN
ALAST CHANCE
coNrrNUED FROM PAeEesE.

Huerta now has about 10000 men. al
though these hgures< have been ques
toned statement Of this character by
him, coihcident with the reply to tbs
American representations, could have
but one meaning. that Huerta would fee
obliged to maintain his stand by forc<
II he was compelled to do so. The Ike
hhood is, though, that any such state
ment by him would be tempered with a
suggestion that this increase in military
forces would be for the purpose OF re-
storing order In Mexico.
The departure OF John Lind to Mexico
City is explained partly on the grounds
that the United States Is becoming i'm.
patient over the delay in receiving any
definite response from Huerta or any
certain Indication from him as TO what
were the results Of the recent elections.
1t rs now almost two weeks since the
contests at the polls were held. 1t was
noted yesterday with considerable inter-
est that President Wilson waited just a
week for a declaration from Huerta, and
then, having received none, instructed
Charge OShaughnessy to present the
American demands.
Another week will elapse on Sunday,
and II would not cause any surprise here
IL Mr.. Lind would move today TO renew
the representations of this government.
The impression here Is that something
very DEFINITE win come from the Mexican
situation by tomorrow night or Monday.
The Mexican situation yesterday was
laid before the Cabinet All members
of the Presidents official family except
Secretaries Garrison and Wilson and
Attorney General McReynolds were pres
ent. It is understood that at the in
stance Of the President one or two mem
bers who had planned to be out Of the
city Cancelled their engagements.
Under orders from Rear Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the squadron in
the Gulf of Mexico, the battleship New
Hampshire has left Tampico for Vera
Cruz. With her arrival there eight
American men-of-war will be assembled
on Vera Cruz. No reason was given at
the Navy Department for the moving
Of the New Hampshire.
Very positive denial was made at the
War Department yesterday that any in
structions have been issued to State
authorities or officials of the National
Guard for the preparation Of these Or
ganizations for service.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
FOR DEFICIENT PUPILS
Elementary Industrial School Of Cleve-
land Affords Opportunity to "Hand-
Minded" Bows aad Girls.

'T like this school because I never
could have learned anything, and / am
more use in the world" This is the way
girl pupil in the Elementary Indus
trial School Of Cleveland, Ohio, describes
her impressions of the new kind Of school
work, according to a bulletin just issued
by the United States Bureau Of Edu-
cation.
The Elementary Industrial School was
established to give ''hand-minded'' boys
and girls as good q chance as the
'language-minded" always have had.
Cleveland was one Of the first cities in
the United States to make a distinction
between the two types Of children-those
who take to books and those who do
not.
In Cleveland, as in most American
cities, about half the children have been
leaving school in the sixth grade. The
Cleveland school authorities saw that
much OF this waste was due to the at
tempt TO force abstract intellectual ef-
fort on boys and girls whose interest
was in doing things. The Elementary
Industrial School was meant to meet
this situation. To 1t boys and girls were
admitted IL they were over thirteen years
of age and two or more years behind
their grade in school
In this school one-half OF the time
is devoted to English, mathematics,
geography y-history-the two in close con-
nection-and to hygiene of thoroughly
practical character. The remaining
periods are given to manual and indus
trial work-including shopwork-to do
mestic economy and gymnasium prac-
tice.
The school has been successful, even
In the face Of adverse conditions. The
enrolment has doubled in the last four
years. Pupils who had long since lost
interest in school work of any kind,
some to the extent Of being known as
"dullards and incorrigibles," have be-
come eager and alert, not only in the
hand subjects, but in the academic
work as we'll

LAND WANTED FOR PARK.
President Is Asked to Withdraw
$4,000 Acres I'm Colorado.

Secretary Lane, of the Interior Depart
ment, has asked the President to with
draw certain lands for. the proposed Den
yer Mountain Park, Colorado. pending
consideration by Congress of bill for
the creation of the park The area COW
ers more then 1900 acres.
In a general way this land is of no
substantial value for agricultural, min
eral. or other purposes, although It is
an ideal location for park. It, Is in a
region of broken land. rocky in charac-
ter and having many canyons, but the
city OF Denver desires to inclose the
tract, If ceded to it for park purposes
police 1t, build drives to and through it,
and, generally speaking, make it one of
the attractions of the city.
Denver already has amended its char
ter SO that it is authorized by law to
make expenditures in and upon the park,
II created; and as the city itself has a
population of about 250.00o the creation
of this park will be of great interest to
Colorado as well as to the tourist as a
resort.
