Roman Nose Denotes Leader.

There are several classes Of noses.
II We are to take the word Of physi-
ognomists. The Roman nose indicates
executive ability. Its owner is the
aggressive person. the conqueror.
Portraits show that the ancient war
riors had this type Of nose. The
Romans were trained especially for
deeds Of valor. The modern owner Of
such a nose will achieve success, be
a leader, perhaps not in q battle for
blood, but in battle for supremacy
and success in business or profess
sional life. The woman with this nose
may obtain social leadership if she
chooses that rather than some other
line of achievement

KIna Edward and the Blind Man.

Apropos OF the anecdote Of one Of
the British cabinet ministers leading
a blind man across crowded street, it
may be recalled that the late king
when Prince Of Wales, once performed
the like charitable action for a blind
fiddler in Pail Mall Perceiving that
the man was DESTROYS Of getting to
the other side, the prince, who was
about to cross from the Marlborough
club to his own residence, quietly took
him by the arm and conveyed him
safely to the pavement opposite, be-
slowing a coin before parting with
him

wagoners should sell at 1925 and above.
those without quality around $3.50 to

Good big horses weighing 1900
pounds and upward should sell readily
when showing quality and substance.

to sell again. There should be rea

Yes, James," replied the teacher.

Best Of Political Parties.

The political parties that l would
call great, are those which cling more
to principles than to consequences;
to general, and not to special cases;
to ideas. and not to men.-such par
ties are usually distinguished by a
nob1er character, more generous pas
sions, more genuine convictions. and
q more bold and open conduct than
others-De Tocqueville

Oats-Rains were reported over a

STAR INDEPENDENT MAN
To- take deep SEA- Dive
Leland F. Schaner, Reporter, in Cap
tain Sorcho's Suit, Will Telephone
His Sensations From the Bottom of
the Ten-Foot Tank at the orpheum

This afternoon following the regular
program at the Orpheum theatre, Lee
land F. Schaner, 3 South Sixteenth
street, reporter for the Star-Indepen-
dent, is scheduled to dive into Captain
Sorcho's ten-foot tank of water, wear
ing the captain s deep-sea diving suit,
on the stage of the vaudeville house.
Mr.. Schaner has volunteered to do
this to test a submarine telephone in
vented by Captain Sorcho. While un-
der ten feet of water he will telephone
a description of his sensations at the
bottom of the tank to an editor who
will be at his desk in the Star-Inde-
pendent building.
All new wires have been installed
in making the connection from the sub
marine telephone apparatus to the sur
face line. This work was under the
supervision of s. B. Watts, local man
ager of the Bell Telephone Company
and F. F. Lutz, plant manager of the
Bell Telephone Company.
The using of all new wire was sug-
gested by Captain Sorcho so as to
prove conclusively that his invention
is not a fake but is practical ap.
paratus which may be a great benefit
to deep-sea divers in the future.
The story telephoned to the Star-In-
dependent by Mr.. Schaner will be
printed in tomorrow s edition of this
paper.

Women are losing their regulations

picking contest being conducted by
the Star Independent. This week, as
was the case last week, the winners
are all men.
The men have just been carrying off
the prizes because they seem to be able
to tell why bargain is bargain in
a more logical and convincing manner
than women competitors. 1t seems un-
likely that the women will let them
continue to win the prizes indefinitely
since that would reflect too much ON
their ability to pick good bargains.
The winners of the prizes this week
are Charles L. Gerdes, $50 Forrest

MAYORS SENTENCE Leads
UP TO MANS Conversion
William Simmons, of Lemoyne, obeys
Mandate of City's Executive to
Attend Tabernacle Meetings and
He Hits Sawdust Trail

Mayor Royal, who has met every
type of man, the petty violator as well
as the hardened criminal in the course
of his duty as magistrate in police
court, was never so much cheered dur
ing the occupancy of his office as this
morning when he learned that one of
the sentences he imposed in police
court has turned out better than he
dared hope when he imposed it.
A man sentenced to attend the tab
ernacle meetings carried out that man
date, needed the admonitions of the
evangelist and has been converted. Po-
lice court was his road to salvation.
On the man s own admission Will
liam Simmons, of Lemoyne, had gone to
the tabernacle meeting to hear DIR. Hen
ry w. Slough, the evangelist, on the
night of November II with a flask
of whiskey in his pocket and later, on
attempting to walk to his home across
the bridge, suddenly lost consciousness.
Policemen Schelhas and Wiesman found
him on the island and sent him in un-
der disorderly practice charge. Aft
er his name in the docket was writ
ten 'drunk.'
Mayor Royal thereupon sentenced
Simmons to attend the tabernacle meet
ings and he promised faithfully to do
so. Indirectly Mayor Royal learned
this morning that Simmons has not
only been faithfully carrying out his
sentence to attend the meetings but
has since chit the trail' and is living
clean, upright life.

No Definite Decision in Poland

London, Dec. 2, 4.20 A. M.-The
Chimes - Petrograd correspondent,
reviewing the war situation, says there
is still 10 definite decision in Poland,
but that the Germans while making
desperate efforts to reinforce their
army, which he believes can only be
done from the Franco-Belgian theatre,
are holding their position facing LODI
and Lowicz, despite the awful climatic
conditions.
In Petrograd, the correspondent adds,
there is no disposition to underate the
magnitude of the task still before the
Russians. According to the view held
in military circles, he says, the situa-
ton is one of extraordinary and un-
precedented Importance. Nothing like
it in respect to interest and even dan
ger, the correspondent concludes, has
presented itself hitherto and all the in
dications point to the maintenance and
even an increase of the present tension.
