(By CLIFFORD l.. MEREDITH,

Has the Finger of Fate pointed
out your road Of destiny?
Will you be what you want to be,
through the eXertion of will-pow-
er-or will you merely follow the
dictate of an unseen power over
your earthly existence. which.
though unseen. and by many, un-
realized, names in advance the
course Of your life to the very bed
of death?
I'll take will-power." you an
swer.
If you think that you may call
upon will-power to navigate life
that will-power is the ticket by
which you will be carried to your
ultimate destination-hrst be sure
you have will.
Unless the seed of will is within
you, unless the Finger Of Fate ha.
previously allotted to you your
share of that strange and powerful
force of determination, will-power
cultivation is futile.
Just as a man is born a warrior
or weakling, SO is the power of will
similarly present or lacking. And,
likewise, in every man there is i'm
bedded in the soul either the seed
of goodness or the appetite for
crime.
Cards Are Dealt.
Your cards are dealt. Fate plays
L cold-blooded game of show down
and Destiny will not be trumped.
This. briefly, is the theory upon
which Countess de OWES, criminal
psychologist of international repu-
tation, now a Washington visitor.
has worked over a long period of
investigation. Her thirty years of
study of the occultism of the East
has not taken her out of the realm
of the practical. but has brought to
her the gift of applying psychology
to things as they are.
And to all this you cry. Fate is
bunk!'
One, moment. please.
Detective Sergeant Frederick G..
Sandberg. Washington finger print
expert, who ranks with the worlds
foremost in the profession. says
Countess dc, OWES is IAN exceptional
criminal psychologist"
Former Assistant District Attor-
ney WilliamNE- Leahy says Countess

And SO impressed were they and
Chief of Detectives Clifford L. Grant
with the remarkable work OF the
countess that she was given the OPP
portunity to prove she is AN ex-
ceptional criminal psychologist" As
consequence three criminals in the
District jail--two convicted of MUIR
der and awaiting death. and the
third a self-eonfessed murderer
admitted themselves during the past
week that the countess Is well up
on the DOPE"
You'd be surprised.
SO were Wan, McHenry and
Campbell.
Wan. the Chinaman convicted OF
the murder Of Ben Sen WI at the
Chinese Educational Mission; WILL

murderer of Mrs. Gertrude Harrison
Mann, and John McHenry, the fear
less, child-like man-killer. who met
the sentence Of death by Justice
Gould last June with Make It short

man, all were surprised.
