CURB TRADING IS
GENERALLY QUIET
Several Lower Priced Oils and
), Mining Stocks Exhibit
Much Activity.

Except for heavy activity in several
lower priced oil and mining stocks, trad
ing in curb securities yesterday was ir-
regular and rather quiet. The market
opened with a strong tone and small
advances were made in the first few min
utes' dealing, but in the afternoon there
was selling of oils and few industrials.
One of the most prominent features Of
the oils was initial trading of Gum Cove
Oil. which advanced several points from
The opening sale. There are but 1000
fhares outstanding.
Mixed price changes were noted in the
rest of the oils at the close. Union Tank
Line and Anglo American OIL were firm,
but the other Standard OIL securities
generally were lower Sinclair Gulf was
subjected to heavy selling In the late at
ternoon, resulting in n loss of more than
four points. but 1t rallied shortly before
the close. There was considerable activ-
ity in Midwest Texas and Usage Nation
on reports that the companies will start
drilling shortly.
Endicott johnson was one OF the
strongest industrial spots and rose four
points to n new high. Remington Type
writer was lower and Savold Tire was
subjected to profit taking in the late
trading after n display of strength in
the morning. Havana Tobacco shares
and British American coupons were in
good demand. Peerless Motors was firm
and better tone was displayed In Gen.
eral Asphalt
Renewed interest was shown In the
silver and copper stocks in the early
part of the session. with comparatively
large gains being made in most of the
, more active issues. but the list turned
irregular before the close. Magma Cop
per moved a point higher, although the
annual report showed a large decrease in
earnings. and Seneca Copper moved
to new high ground. with an advance OF
four points. Cerbat Silver which had
been inactive for several days, was in
vigorous demand and sold point higher

"Well, one Of her Stories" said
the little old man, drawing his chair
up to the fire and sitting down be-
tween Puss Junior and Tom Thumb,
ais about the giant and the bean
stalk. She's the little hen that laid
the golden eggs for the giant. you

And when he heard this Puss
Junior jumped to his feet and ran
over the little len, who was busy
clearing the supper table. Don't
you remember me?" he said.
And the little hen replied: "Of
course, do. ! have never forgotten
what you did for me at the giants
house"
"And shan't forgot how you met
me at the top of the beanstaIk and
showed me the way to his CASTLE"
replied Puss.
Come, come" cried the little old
man, "leave the supper dishes, you
two. Come over to the fire and let
US hear Puss Junior tell the story

So they all sat down and waited
for Puss to commence And next

A Quaint Island.

Elmley. one of England's oldest
little islands, though only forty
eight miles from London, is a
parish where roads, shops, lamps.
telephones, motor cars, public
houses. and postoffices are I'M
known. The island, which lies of
the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. has an
area of about two thousand acres,
and is the property OF Oxford Uni
versity. The inhabitants are mostly
shepherds OF large flocks of Sleeps.
The oldest man of the village is in
his SEVENTEEN year. He has yet to
see a motor car. The school and
church are the two chief landmarks
on the island. The reason they
were built in such a sparsely popu-
lated spot is that in winter il is al
most impossible to leave the island,
as the ferry which runs to and
from the island is dangerous.
4 novel method OF obtaining the
services of the ferrymen, who live
opposite to the island, is the open
ing OF the white door OF a hut fac
ing the shore. at night a lighted
candle held aloft serves the pur-
pose Of the open door.

By Eleanor Gilbert.

A CORRESPONDENT asks me
"A about courses in character
4 reading and asks If there is
such a thing as reliable book on
palmistry?
Character reading and palmistry
are not exactly in the same cate
CORY. Possibly several Of the expo
nents of character reading would
be much incensed IL one classified
their theories with palmistry or
phrenology.
Palmistry as a source OF innocent
amusement may be recommended
highly. and there are any number
Of reliable books on the subject at
any book store. But hope that my
correspondent does not intend using
the information thus acquired in
any serious plan.
There is a certain school Of busi-
ness men and women who have
made a study OF phrenology as a
basis of character reading and de-
termining the fitness Of an applicant
for a certain job A man is a nerv-
Gus brunette, therefore, he will
make a good salesman; or he has a
cast in his eye. therefore he is not
honest This form OF reasoning is
not exaggerated. There are many
people who have picked UP superb
ciaI theories along physiological
lines who actually try to apply
such rules in the placing OF en-
ployes.
My personal opinion Is that palm
istry Is no worse than this method.
Physical characteristics are an
index only TO physical requirements.
You can't judge the mental ability
OF person by the shape OF his chin.
nor his honesty by the color of his
eyes or the lines on his hands. You
can Judge physical qualification
sometimes.
For example. a famous efficiency
expert in studying the stature Of
men with regard for their adapta-
bility to certain physical work. said
short men are usually the best
shoveIers where the shovelful need
not be raised much in doing the
work, such as in mixing mortar and
concrete.
"On the other hand, when men are
shoveIinc in a trench. the taller
the man usually the moro output
per man. Much bending and stoop-
ing soon fatiGues a tall man.
Reaching for things beyond his
height is tiresome to the short
man" And so forth. This is COM
mon sense reasoning, within the
range OF anyone.
But when YOU try TO acquire the
x-ray eye-that is. the ability to
see a persons mental possibilities
or capabilities-when you try to
read his soul through his COM
plexion-there is no recognized sci
ence that will help you. You might
find a group OF people with the same
facial characteristics who showed
the same mental tendencies, but
that would not prove that the same
condition held true nf all people
with those characteristics.
Just as there are almost no two
people physically absolutely alike,
so no two people with the same
general physical characteristics

Of Pleasing Personality.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am young lady Of good character
and pleasing personality. I am very
nice to people I meet Although I
have gone out with many young men,
still have not as yet met any I COLD
love. The young men I go out with
see me once or twice. and then drop
on for no reason at all. therefore am
writing TO you to please advise me
what the trouble may be, as I am sure
treat them the best ! know how. but
do not succeed in my enterprise.
JUNE K.
wonder il you do not carry that
pleasing personality OF yours a lit
tie bit too far, my dear June X.
Sometimes too great a desire to
please is even more disconcerting
than too little, as it injects the
quality Of tension into the atmos-
phere, and keeps ones friends from
feeling comfortable and at ease.
This may not be the trouble. how
ever. Why not try and take a sym
pathetic interest in subjects that
concern your friends. Most men
like to talk If they are assured in
advance OF a good listener: any
woman can be a good listener

morning. My fa-Mr. Leighton told
you at what garage we keep the
cars:" --.---,....-..-- ...
Yes. miss
Very well. I shall expect you
at A quarter to twelve"
He stepped backward from the
room as she gave him a little nod
of dismissal, but not before her
eyes had rested on his hat, She
started as if to speak, then thought
better of it.
She knows this to be a queer kind
of a hat for chauffeur to wear"
David reflected as he went down
the front steps. Il must stop some
where and get something that looks
less like a gentleman's tile than
this does.
"Of course I will have to wear
livery later and equally, OF course,
my boss will. not want to order that
until he receives my recommended
tions. One does not lavish q good
livery as a chauffeur who is only on
probation. Now I must look up a
hat store and get some common
looking thing TO cover my head"
He had bought a cap, and was on
the way to the garage when he
muttered another comment.
Gee! But Miss Leighton's q
sumner all right ==-
II wonder if she really is that
girl that Aunt Jeanne picked out
for me. If so, the dear old lady
showed better taste than 1 gave

stream Of water directly into the
buffers face, knocking him nat on
the sidewalk; and his two COM
rades tripped up Neeland, passed .

him aside, blinded. half strangled,
staggering at random. tearing furi-
ously at the wide band Of wooden
cloth which seemed to sunocate
him

The butler, checked by the level

most blinded by the force Of the
water from the hose; but he had
plenty OF pluck. and he followed

The street was absolutely empty,
