One Foot IL Eas+..

Almost everyone walks faster WITH
one foot than with the other. accordins
TO scientist who has studied The
subject. In majority of cases it is the
right foot that outdoes the left bnt
some lefthanded' persons also walk a
DIT faster with their left. This. arpues
the scientist, is not due solely to anv
failure to the sense of direction bnt
10 the fact that one of the wanderers
feet was imperceptibly moving faster
than the other. ~
Under ordinary circumstances a
pedestrian turns corners, cuts into a
different road. or is carried in one
general direction by the course of a
highway or street. And he does not at
tempt to walk in one exact line, but
moves about more or less freely. Thus
the speed Of his step is equalized and
the difference is not apparent.
As a proof that person does not
walk In straight line the scientist
proposes test which he says has
proved almost unfaillng. That is, to
place two sticks about eight feet apart
then start from a distance OF sixty feet
away while blindfolded and try to pass
between the sticks. He found that very
few could successfully accomplish it.

This intrigue takes various forms.

that the faith and confidence Of the

At first consideration the plan would

work otherwise. The rumors depend
for their effect on underground trans

their potentialities shrivel. The tele-

for the posting. When the rumor is

At the request OF the United States

taken the work of directing to suita-
Bile rooming and boarding places the
new arrivals who are not acq0hinted

plication for accommodations can be
made by new appointees thru cores
