features characterize a strong will, a
weak will. a pessimist and an optimist
Although he said blond hair was char
acteristic of fickleness, strong features
in the forehead, nose, mouth and chin
would overcome this characteristic.
To give a practical demonstration of
his theories, by which he contends IT is
possible to determine the vocation for
which each person is best qualified, DR..
Shefferman took a tall. robust woman
from the audience.
After scrutinizing carefully her fea-
tures and physical appearance. he told
her that she was fond OF handling food
stuffs and that her genial temperament
would make her an excellent saleslady.
Continuing his analysis, he told her that

When DIR. Shenerman had finished his

S3OI,I07 IS PAID FOR
collier Is YEARS old
Discarded Government Vessel Valued
at $4,000 Brings Four Times
That Amount.

More than 100000 in cash was paid
yesterday by N. II. Busey. jr.. OF New
York, for the naval collier Justin
rs years old, whose value. as appraised
by a naval board of survey and ap-
praisal. is $4,000.
Mr.. Busey. whose business is not
known to the Navy Department. was
the highest of three bidders, whose Of
fers were opened at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday. He bid s30l,l07. John
Rothschild & Co, OF San Francisco, bid
S26l.600 and the Otis Manufacturing &
Company, OF New Orleans, s261.050.
Considerable mystery exists as to the
reason for the high prices offered. Mr.
Daniels said that he understood that
the ship was to be used in trade be-
tween San Francisco and Japan, for
which. he understands. ships are prac-
ticslly unobtainable. This Is the second
time the Justin was offered for sale,
the bids having been thrown out the
first time.
The Justin was built In England in
1891. and was purchased by the Navy
Department in 1898 at the outbreak OF
the Spanish American war.

Company, OF New York, allowing the
company three years to complete the
''Schley," the first big fleet submarine.

Gardner declared that up to date
nothing has been done on the Schley
or on the two feet submarines au-
thorized last March, adding that the
department apparently seemed un-
aware a war was going on in Europe.
Representative William Eliza Will

Plan Increase of Army.
In executive session the House Mil

on plan to increase the regular
army, probably to about 100000. Ar
rangements were made to have the
plans for LIBERALIZATION" of the mi

Senate.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
replying for two hours to a rapid fire
of cross questioning. told the House
Merchant Marine Committee that the
administration ship purchase bill is
a preparedness messuse, because its
primary purpose is to provide naval
auxtiiaries. The secondary purpose,
he said. was to aid in building up an
American commercial marine.
Senator Tlllman has completed the
series OF bills which. at Secretary
Daniels suggestion, he has introduced
for government ownership OF war

with these, Secretary Daniels hopes
not only to bring about government

soon as construction can be finished
but to prevent private companies from
charging extra prices meantime.
