spiral-that is, one that curves clock

the right handed" spiral. or that
which curves counter clock-wise.
In his book, ''The Curves of Life"
Theodore Andrea Cook says that a
Sherlock Holmes could tell from the
curves of carpenters shavings
whether he was right or left handed,
as a right handed carpenter invariably
producing right handed screws, while
the left handed carpenter pushes his
plane little to the right and produces
left handed screws.
Screws and corkscrews are right
hand screws unless made for some
special purpose. Left hand screws
can be bought from any large hard
ware dealer. Coffin screws for some
unexplained reason are always left
hand screws. Man is naturally right
handed, and it has been suggested
that this may be owing to the position
of his heart on the left side. So all
tools and weapons have been adapted
to right handed men. This is true of
the adze. plane, scythe, gimlet. auger,
scissors, shutters, shears. etc.
The strongly left handed man will
continue to use such tools with his
left hand. even though with incon-
venience, but he In whom the left
handedness is not a strong bias be-

Of the right handed contrivances and

Mr.. Cook mentions many customs
that have arisen through the normal
right handedness Of man. Among
these Y the rule Of driving to the left,

So Florence received long night

And the doctor arrived at about
the same time. And called promptly
upon his patient.
''Fine!" he said. THE sea air was
just the thing. A DOCTOR always likes
to find his advice turning out WELL"

she slept, If she was thirsty, felt pains

questions vaguely. Not the slightest
suspicion entered her head that she
was being hoodwinked. Why should
she entertain any suspicion? This
doctor, who seemed kindly and benev-
olent, who had prescribed for Susan
and benefited her, why should she
doubt him?

the matter?' she pleaded.

Following Jones' orders, they made
friends with none. Those about the
hotel-especially the young men

politely snubbed. Every night Flor

DOING FOR HUSBANDS

We have always maintained, against
the strong objections Of a certain ele-
ment Of the trousered sex, that wom-
ems clubs are good thing. We
realize, Of course, that they may be
overdone; that enthusiasm in their
cause may sometimes lead to such a
singleness and continuity of purpose
as to warp the vision and TIE judg-
ment. But it is neither fair nor rea-
sonable to judge any movement by
the excuses of individual supporters,
and we have based our opinion, as we
Invariably do in such matters, upon
the action of the mass.
Our approval is strengthened, if
that We're possible, by an inquiry that
appeared in a number of reports to
the Legislative Committee of the
Wcmen's Clubs of the st. Louis dis
trict at its meeting on Wednesday.
The inquiry was this: What shall
we do for our husbands?" Note the
proposition. 1t is significant and il

Rich Men at a Disadvan-
tage Before American
Courts
By ARTHUR c. TRAIN. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney OF New York County

IT HERE is not one law for the
rich and another for the poor.
With us rich man has less
chance before jury than poor
man. There is a latent prejudice
lurking under the skin of the
American juror against policemen,
politicians and rich men accused of
crimes. The juror has read all
about them and knows the tricks
they are up to, so THAT AT THE
BAR THE RICH MAN GETS
THE WORST END OF IT. 1T
is ONLY AFTERWARD THAT
HE HAS THE ADVANTAGE.
The inherent advantage of the
rich malefactor is that he can Of
ten buy off the complaining wit
ness or make such generous restitu-
ton that there is no vindictive de-
mand for prosecution.
THIS is NOT A LIMITATION OF
THE CRIMINAL LAW, BUT OF HUI
MAN NATURE.
