READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips,
 Copyrighted 1891
The Sian of Locality


 You've often met people who never can remember names, others who cant remember places. in each case you Il find that a certain part of the skull is somewhat less than normally de- Veloped.
 In the case of persons whose mem ory for places is poor you'll find that about midway up on their foreheads just about over the eye ds you look at the full face, thera is little flat spot, a little section about an inch or So in diameter that is not quite SO well developed as the bony sruc- ture around it.
 Such people are not by any means necessarily lacking in mentality, nor are they to be considered as of abnor- nal mentality. or as a matter of fact, the absolutely normal (that is to say, aVerage) mind is rarely, if eY. CT, met with. Each mind has it's in- dividual combination of peculiarities. On the other hand. when you find this section Of the forehead well de- veloped, you have one of those per sons who can virtually find his way about in the dark, one who already has or readily acquires that peculiar ability of the Woodsman to know ex- actly where he is. The most instinc- tive question to such people as this is Where? Dr. Gall has observed that this bump is usually kell deyeloped 1 in good chess players;t and the most important thing in the game of chess is to maneuver you pieces into cer- tain places. and that the process IS l usually long enough to tax the facul- ty Of position memory pretty well.

TFr PRESIDENTS INTERPRETA.

"t- Is nor rlrprising that there was rt of a furry in administration circles rlea 'r was disclosed from the personal opinion given by President Harding con- .e-ntae :ne four power agreement that le was not in accord with the American lsi=-i on T. didn't take long to @raiahtar the matter out. however, and ' srwed .wo things.
 Iu Jna first place it must be realized rhst President Harding did not under BEe 90 give an expression for the dele s-stuH Hr did not attempt to say what laa construction was that had been szrseI upon in the conference. At the Hsre he did not know that. What he Ei5 J1- was to tell what in his own opin- f,r. without having talked with the del- trat.uH. inc agreement meant in regard sg tre homeland of Japan. Read the article which speaks of the "insular pos Sessions and insular dominions in the r-gous of the Pacific ocean" and it Is ths natural interpretation that it should not fr considered to include the home land of Japan any more than the United States. bu. island possessions and do- -'no-z thereof. However, the construc- tor Of that clause had been the subject of discussion and under the agreement Japan's homeland is to be included in 1raer that the. agreement may apply to tIaoai territory of the United States, having a status different than possession OF dem.-ion. Thus it becomes evident ,hat tho view expressed by the president vas only that of the conference until Tie construction referred to was agreed t6.
 In the second place it Is plainly evi- lert that the president has full con- ndeucs in the delegation, that he has not drawn line which they must toe and that he has not insisted in sitting in at every discussion. and moreover when it is disclosed that the point has been carefully covered he does not insist up- on the forced adoption of his interpre- ,ation an interpretation which would or llusrily prevail but which for sufficient reasons was departed from in agree. menT

SUBMARINES.

Tn view of the progress that has been made thus far interest cannot fail to center in the efforts that are being made 10 reach an agreement concerning the submarines in the armament conference
 France has yielded to the opposition against big increase in capital ships for that country. and inasmuch as France will not indulge in the proposed plan which would give it a navy as large f not larger than Japan, Italy will not press for the privilege of building up big navy.
 But France IS unquestionably more interested in the submarines than it was in the ten capital ships. It believes that 1t should have them for it's defense and 1t Is likely to insist upon a large ton mage when it is intimated that it hasn't any too much faith in the Anglo-French alliance. But on the matter of subma- rines this country takes much the same view as does France in regard to their value for defense purposes, and Japan by the United States in the Hughes plan.
 Great Britain is anxious for a reduc- tion in the submarine tonnage. It would
 even be happier if the underwater boats were entirely eliminated, and in that view it gets much sympathy from those who believe such an instrument of war ought to be abolished in view of the acts committed in the recent war. Pos , sibly with the strengthening of the l bonds between France and England the 1 former would be inclined to be less in sistent in behalf of submarines and for that reason not slight bearing may ! be had upon the matter of submarines at the conference by the meeting of the | pra,17farc now 1,rdarpov af London

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES

Accepting the agreements as in fact accomplished it will be evident that the Washington conference is succeeding. as President Harding said yesterday. be yond our fondest hopes" We shall ex- p-ole the matter ln more detaIl. when It is published with the official hall marks. For the moment it seems s1ff- clsnt 70 say that a\ week which has witnessed first the signing of the Irish settlement and then the adoption of these comprehensive guarantees against war and air.ianlents in the Pacific will deserve to go down as one of the most fortunate and the most memorable in the history of civilized mankind.
 Curing War Nerves-''War nerves" the terrible scourge which follows upon modern battle conditions, are in slow
 but sure process of elimination Should the great wave of war neurasthenia be

 remembered that 72.000 officers and men have been pensioned for neurasthenia
 and nervous diseases generally. This
 figure is only exceeded by the number of those suffering from heart disease, hhest complaints and rheumatism.
 Battlefield Fsrming-Not even the soldiers themselves realized the extent to which market gardening was carried on under British military auspices to supply the army, just behind the old front line in France. According to the Journal of the Ministry of-Agriculture in March. 1918, there were 7,496 acres of vegetable gardens in the British army zone. Another 1000 acres had been marked out for cultivation, but the great German offensive rather hindered the enterprise. The gardeners were fre- quently shelled, and the harvest home"
 was often far from homely.

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME

Literature must be made a part of children's lives by being associated with their real interests Then will it "enter their souls with the music of the game" and the love of books that We. as par ents, helped to instill will abide Con- crete plans for the early study of litera- ture should be worked out in the home. They should be such as will appeal to a child's constructive and play activities, and at the same time quicken his imagin- ation and cultivate his love of literature.
 Building a Children's Library is im- portant. A ekild must own, see and handle books. Let him have a shelf or a low book case that is all his own. Let the library grow slowly. Prepare care fully for the addition of each new boog ceded by a period of intelligent and joy ful anticipation. Relatives and friends usually provide enough surprises. Deal chiefly with the large, simple perm2n- ent masterpieces of literature. because neither you, nor the children have time for much else Children are the busiest people in the world and next to them come the mothers. As the years go on, ay child's book case may well contain Mother Goose, Aesop, Bible Stories, Fairy and Folk Tales and Nature Mytha. Lat CT will come stories of adventure such as the Had Odyssey. and King Arthur. By this time the child will be able to help choose his own heroes of chivalry. and romance, of science and discovery. Poetry should have a very honored place from the beginning. A child of five can ap- preciate Robert Louis Stevenson and Eugene Field.
 Kate Greenaway and a host of sue cessors have devoted artistic genius to
 illustrating children's books, making
 them a joy to young and old. IL is
 probable that in the case of most chill dren of today. their first interest and joy
 in books is associated with beautiful col

Some men took him rabhI. hunting once and when he aimed at a rabbit he hit a cow, which turned out to be gold-plated bovine. He says he fully expects, when he is on his dying bed and they ask him tenderly whether there is anything he wants. that he will mutter pathetically that what he wants is to shoot bear. It must be terrible to eoyet anything so badly--

I'm collecting peoples secret and heartfeld wishes," said the pretty girl who had a. long, hard evening ahead of her entertaining a devoted but not bril- liant caller. Whats yours?

Biting a water glass did not appeal to me as an adventure, but was anxious to have him try it.
