HOW CHARACTERS
SHOWN BY NOSE
Key to Ancestry and Tastes
Found in It's Shape
and Tilt

II is. an ancient belief that the nose
indicates ancestry. We speak about the
aristoeratic nose with its high bridge
and the plebeian nose of the toiler. Ger
tainly, in a great many cases, race can
be distinguished by the nose. The He
brew could hardly be confused with the
typical negro nose, says Dr. Edith 3.
Lowrey in Womans World. The highly
arehed nose is supposed to Indicate ten
dency to rule and the flattened nose
shows servility.
There are several classes of noses Il
We are to take the word of physiogno-
mists. The Roman nose indicates ex-
ecutive ability Its owner is the aggres
sive person. the conqueror Portraits
show that the ancient warriors had this
type of nose. The Romans were trained
especially for deeds of valor. The mod
ern owner of such nose will achieve
success, be a leader. perhaps not in a
battle for blood. but in a battle for su-
premacy and success in business or pro-
fessional life. The woman with this
nose may obtain social leadership il
she chooses that rather than some 9TH
er line of achievement.
ment. In that ancient country refine
ment, artistic tastes and great love of
the beautiful were valued rather than
valor in war. The owner of such a nose
is art loving and is successful in pur-
suit of things only when they arc
agreeable to her tastes
In opposition to this type of nose we
find the snub nose, which shows unde
velopment. crudeness. 1t is the nose OF
the child rather than of the developed
man. When ii is seen in adults we find
the childliNe mind accompanying it.
The owner does not achieve great sue
cess, but is content to keep on in his
humble way. From this class come the
manual workers who lay the founda- :
tion of the wealth of the world Their
work is necessary, but they cannot di-
rect others. They follow where they
are led or driven. Theirs not to reason
why, theirs but to do and die.

The guards which have remained IN

OR MORE TRUTHFUL?
Forty-Four Americans Admit Hav-

WASHINGTON, D. C.-According
to the best information available not
person in Great Britain this year
has paid a tax on an income of more
than 100000 a year, whereas in
the United States forty-four persons
have paid an income of that amount
or more.
In England sixty-siX persons paid
taxes on incomes of 100000 each.
In this country ninety-one persons
made returns on that amount.
Fifty-five persons made returns on
incomes of 100000 in Great Brit
ain, while in this country but forty
four made returns on a similar
amount.
There were fifty-six persons in
Great Britain with incomes of $780,
600 apiece, while in the United States
.145 made returns on that sum. Great
Britain had 43S persons making re-
turns on incomes of 100000, while
in this country 785 persons admitted
they got that much money yearly.
No figures on the amount of in
come tax paid by residents of France
are available now. The income tax
law in that country has been in eff
feet only a comparatively short time.
