THE TE[[-TA[E HAND

| oped, keep their hands continually
closed, folding their hands over tho
thumb; but in proportion as. with the
body, the mind becomes developed, the
thumb in turn folds itself over tho
fingers
Watch the Thumb
AS an extension of this theory that
the thumb Is directly connected with
intelligence, it has often been said that
persons who habitually hold the thumb
, ,, folded inside the fingers are not in
tellectually fit. This has sometimes
been refuted on the grounds that while
mental detectives often do this, per-
sons of recognized mental ability nave
been known to have the habit of
nervously holding the thumb between
fingers and palm.
Character analysts say that largo
well-developed thumb indicates strong
will, and an understood. thin thumb
shows a character lacking in decision.
Feeble minded people sometimes havs
this undeveloped thumb, and in occas-
sional cases, no thumbs at all.
There is much medical lore back of
this thumb theory. 1t is well known to
doctors, for instance, that after death,
or sometimes as death approaches, the
thumb. symbol of the will and mental
| control, turns in toward the palm, IN
token of surrender.
Doctors take note of the hand in
ical condition of the patient. The yell
low tinge indicating Il bad drainage
system, and the pallor of anemia are
shown plainly in the hand, as well as
the clear pink of the healthy person.
Character, health, and experience,
Mrs. Robertson says, are all written in
the hand. and sometimes even more
than in the face because the hand is
not under control as the face is. Thls

face was smooth and fresh, but her
hands had lines showing worry and
cares. You have had good deal oil

trouble. all my life she'answered. But
I've tried to hide it.. "
The lines of trouble in the hand, Mrs.
Robertson holds, have no connection
with the life line. line of fate, and
other data of palmistry. 1t 10 not clear
why they come. There is possibly
muscular contraction as in the forma-
ton of wrinkles in the face. But the
individual is unconscious of the pro-
cess.
There is much more that can be read
on the hand. Tho prominence of tho
joints. the shape and size of the nails
the ends of the fingers, whether point
cd. square or spatulate, all show the
inclinations and abilities of the owner.
1t should be noted it is not wise to
say outright. You have spatulatc
fingers: therefore you have the truly

may modify or strengthen that par

Poverty or Pretence

In the weeks that have elapsed since the measure
of Gcrrnanys reparation payments was fixed the opm
ion has been gaining ground that this amount, however
great is not beyond Germany's ability to pay, and it is
far less than what Germany ought to pay as matter
of justice to the victims of her aggression.
The people of the United States, generally speak
pie Americans look upon the Germans not much as
the accomaiccs of the Hohenzollcrns and the Junker
as the victims of the imperalists and the less
their victims if the national education in imperialism
continued thru many years, has produced its intended
results
Nothing would please Americans better than TO SEQ
the Germans started upon the highway of liberty and
democracy with fair prospect of industrial success as
well as full measure of independence and free gov
crnmcn But there is avoiding the conclusion that
certain costs of the must be paid by some one
They must be paid either by the Germans who wrought
that destruction by the victims who suffered loss IN
violation of solemn and of international law
Further. it appears clear that Germany, which suf
fercd less destruction result of war than Franco
or Belgium which remained free from invasion, which
proted hugely by the loot of Belgium and of northern
France which pursued the policy of industrial de-
struction with purpose of affecting industrial COM

A comparison of the statistics of national wealth.
pc-war production and commerce. present national
debts and interest charges that must be paid out
standing national obligations. does warrant the
cusion ha the of eparatons assessed against
Germany is beyond the measure of Germonys ability
TO pay
Finally, there is impression among Americans
thnt the Germans sincerely striving, according TO
the best of their ability, to give reparation for the
contrary there a strong and general impression that
the Germans greatest present regret is that they did
no. win the war; and their main at the present
time is to get away with light penalties possible,
without regard either to the by which the de
cision is obtained or the effects of the decision upon
an, else
In Great Britain, as well in the United States,
Germany seems have been losing her case in these
weeks British sentiment To-Day inchnes much more

corning reparations was announced and the statement
made by Lloyd George on Friday is plainly that of
world statesman who has given careful consideration

his decision upon grounds of and justice. THIS
