RECRUITING OFFICERS SAY
MEN ARE LIGHTER IN SOUTH

WASHINGTON, D. c., Set. 29.-The
average weight Of men south of the
Mason and Dixon line is from four to
six pounds lighter than the average
weight of men north Of it, say United
States Marine Corps recruiting offic-
ers operating there, in report receiv-
ed at Marine Corps headquarters to-
day. These recruiting officers have
asked that the minimum weight for
recruits in the south be reduced from
1874 to 100 pounds, stripped.
"The large raw-boned Southerner'
is seldom seen, the recruiting officer
aver, and, while the men of the south
are as osund and fit as the men of any
other section, they are usually small
boned and light in weight. The offic
ers point out in their recommendation
that some of the best mixers" anC
fighters in the Marine Corps are tn,
lean, why men from the southland.

SPY AND ACCOMPLICES TO
BE SHOT BY THE ITALIANS

ROME, Sept. 29.-An Austrian spy
named Larace and two Italians have
been condemned to be shot in the back
by the Ancona courtmartial for COM
plicity in the attempts to burn the
port of Genoa. With this conspiracy,
it seems, were connected explosions in
munition factories in Milan and else
where, aggregating in damages totar
of several millions of dollars.
The Austrian, who was at the head
of the plot, sought out Italian Grimm
ais, gaining an escendancy over them
so that he could command their CO.
operation of ronly nominal sums. In
one case the price for an attempt to
blow up one of Italy's greatest steel
works at TERM was about 800 If this
attempt had been successful, it would
have retarded military operations for
several months.
Larace had in his possession when
arrested eight jointed walking sticks
of about the size of a mans little
finger, painted a gray-green, filed with
dynamite. They were hidden in UNI
brellas when he tried to escape. These
dynamite canes had no time fuses, but
were so arranged as to explode few
weeks after being placed in position.

Y.M.C.A.CUTS DOWN
FOR
ARM|Es Of ENGLISH

| LONDON, Sept. 29.-There isn't any
thing like as much drunkenness il
| the British army as there used to be
| Lord French attributes much of this
improvement to the great work done
by the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and kindred bodies. They have
established innumerable substitutes
for the canteen which Thomas Atkins
has found much more attractive and
much less expensive. They provide
wholesome refreshment and harmless
recreation for him. And religion. too
If he wants it. Often he helps him
self to all three.
1t was the opening of new Y. M. C.
A. hut by Lord French that afforded
him the opportunity to tell how much
the army had been benefited by such
work.
Il remember" he said, when first
joined the army-how long ago I don't
like to remember-the only refuge of
the soldier was the canteen. In those

practically to live on beer. 1t used
to be quite common thing in those
days for an old soldier to sell his food
to the young recruit and buy beer
and live upon it.
Il think it is something like thirty
or thirty-fiye years ago since the
founders of the Y. NJ C. A. commenced
their beneficient work and the change
that has come over the personnel of
the army during that time has been
something very little short of miracul-
Gus. Those who have served all those
years in the army can realize it better
than anybody else.
"A few years before the war COM
menced this improvement began to
manifest itself in most extraordinary
manner, and especially with regard to
the diminution of crime. Drunkenness
was formerly most prevalent crime
in the army. l remember that we used
to have stringe of defaulters outside
the orderly rooms, waiting to be pun
ished for drunkenness. You hardly
ever see a drunken soldier now, and
in many other directions the work OF
these institutions upon the spiritual
and moral development of the soldier
is very marked and has been clearly
proved.
when l was commander in chief in
France for some eighteen months, ]
realized what these institutions have
done for soldiers. 1t was on the fields
of battle that the men showed what
different men they were. This war
has demanded more in the way OF
nerve and courage from our men than
any war that has ever happened in the
history of the world. The most con,
slant courage has had to be exercised
every moment of the day and night. No
bit of ground is secure from the long
| range, high explosive shells. But
through it all our men have shown d
magnificent courage. One cannot but
remember that the old soldiers of the
past were splendid, but they certainly
never surpassed the splendid courage
that has been shown in this war One
cannot help thinking that, perhaps, il
is to be traced to the work of these in
stitutions."

OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. It stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short time
the stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia or Neural
gic Headache will find one or two APP
plications of Sloan's Liniment will
give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensa-

WANTS GIRL FOR GODMOTHER.
Belgian Soldier Writes Burgomaster
Mitchell, Asking For One.

Mitchell, Asking For One.
Mayor Mitchell of New York has re-
ceived the following communication
from a Belgian soldier interned in Hol-
land:
To the Burgomaster of the City of New
York:
Sir-I, the undersigned, c. Lorrimier,
quartermaster have the honor of writ
ing you this letter to beg you to be SO
kind as to give me the following informa-
ton:
Is there not among the pretty girls of
your city one who would be a godmother
to a Belgian soldier and correspond with
him? If so, l should be happy to be hat
soldier. Hoping that my request will
meet with a favorable answer, L beg you,
sir, to accept my respectful civilities.
c.. LORRIMIER,
Quartermaster Fourth Belgian Lancers,
Car 26, Camp 1, Zeist, Holland.
Burgomaster Mitchell thought that
the best way to obtain the information
desired by Quartermaster Lorrimier
was to make his letter public. Some
one in the mayors office familiar with
these matters appended to the letter
the following inducement:
"This request for a marianne is
quite in keeping with what has been
done during the winter all through
France. Letters received in New York
from young women in France show
that there is a fairly widespread GUS
tom of the adoption of soldiers left
without friends or family Gun poilu,'
as they call them, and in some cases
one girl is godmother to several 'poilus'
and corresponds with them"

There has been only one i'm
parchment of a president, that
of Andrew Johnson, who was i'm
peached. in 1868 for usurpation
of the law, corrupt use of the
veto power, interference at cleo
lions and high crimes and mis-
demeanors. His trial lasted
from March 80 to May 26 and
he was acquitted by a vote
of 35 to ia two-thirds vote
being necessary. A change of
one vote would have resulted in
his conviction.

Your Handwriting Shows
What You Are
BY WILLIAM LESLIE FRENCH
4.-Obedience and the Reverse

- ROBABLY nothing plays so
prominent a part in the lives
of human beings as the affec-
tions. And the various degrees
of love and the reverse appear like bea-
IONS to those who care to observe the
signs. What is generally known as
temperament is easily gagged from
script forms. The first point to be
considered is that the slope largely de
termines the degree of affection. the
amount of emotion.

No. S.-This is the type of writing
which should cause a person to refrain
from taking the writer as a close
friend. The irregular script, running
at different angles, shows INCONSISTENCY.
especially as the base line waivers.
Lying! The large, loose style and
down strokes shaded give such a per
son ~emotionality and a loose way OF
doing things. Heavy, muddy script
also shows the brutal tendencies, es-
pecially when the ST. and some down
strokes end in a club formation.
Now, in regard to this question of
the affections, there are signs which
modify, not many, but important,
though for general use those above de.
scribed will help the reader to make a
decision.

No. 3.-You will note that when the
writing is upright persons are apt to
be governed by their minds when II
comes to love. This specimen, vertical
and poised, endows the writer with
less spontaneous affection. But shaded
vertical writing, giving a sensuous
trend, would modify this GOODNESS to
some extend; again, widely spaced,
showing generosity of feeling, would
also give more freedom.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-06-03

No. 7.-As hate and revenge are
traits which are found in many differ
ent styles of writing, they can be deter
mined only by taking together certain
trait signs, then finding out their sig
nifcance. This specimen gives a long
pointed "t' dash, showing malice.
And the heavy shading, revealing a
strong animal nature with the marked
slant, shows that such an individual
would take revenge on any n who
crossed him in love. The same would
hold good if the writing were back
hand, cross strokes blunted and the
general style irregular.
