NEW YORK, Oct. 3l--If you want to make a favorable impression upon a bonding company. be fat, profane, married. and have had penmanship. All of these characteristics, usually looked upon as handicaps by the gen eral public, are regarded as highly desirable by the big New York bond ing companies which underwrlte thousands of embezzlement risks every year.
 Ii is estimated that the large total of SIOO, 100000 is annually embedded in this country. The total number of known eInbezzlers whose defalca tions are discovered is around 15000. These startling figures explain why the bonding companies have found it necessary to make an elaborate study of character, environment and psychology in underwriting embez- such study and experience, they have been able definitely to label some human traits good risks and others bad.
 According to William B. Joyce, president of the National Surety company of this city, the man who cusses a lot is a good risk not be- cause he is profane, but because he Is essentially human. His mind" says MI alOyNN, nus d Sdl1Ay NhANN through which he pours his excess emotions. He is far safer than the quiet, suppressed individual who stiffles his natural impulses"
 Mir Joyce has been studying the characteristics of embeZZlers for more than 20 years, during which time he has formulated the following guides for underwriters:
 Tt is always the trusted employe' who gets away with the most money
 There is no age at which embez- element ceases.
 Young and uniformed characters are the chief offenders.
 Margin speculation leads to more embezzlement than cards or dice betting on the ponies ranks close second
 "Ex-convicts are the poorest risks of all.
 Since prohibition. many embez- zlemenss have been caused by the high cost of bootleg liquor"
 Fat people are considered better risks than lean ones, because the obese are on the whole more placid and content with their lot, and less inclined to morbid recklessness Married risks are preferred to single risks, as tame horses are preferred to wild ones. Cranks of every kind moreover, are readily accepted by the surety companies for the same req son that profane men are favored In other words, people who flauni

their idiosyncracies sufficiently to be termed "cranks'' at least get the poi son out of their system.
 Good Penman Often Bad
 Perfect penmanship is regarded with the deepest distrust by most bonding companies. H. T. Cole, in- spector of the American Surety com pany here, who in the last 20 years has accumulated handwriting speci- mems of hundreds of embezzlers, says he believes that superior penman- ship in an unfailing characteristic of embeZzlers. He does not deny that many an honest man writes a tidy hand. but 1t is extremely rare to find a defaulter who writes poorly.
 My opportunities for studying such handwriting follow the opening of each new emheZZlement case, says MT. Cole, for the first proceed ure is to study the application which the accused man filled out with his pen before being employed in posi- ton of responsibility. And I'm not speaking only of bookkeepers. bank tellers and other men in position re- quiring a good hand, for we are called upon to bond office boys, salesgirls, railroad conductors, restaurant cash iers, and others required to handle money without any tall feats of pen manship.
 Tn looking over our files of busi- ness criminals, comprising examples from every kind of trade everywhere, I come across few specimens of poor handwriting-not more than l 10 every 15 that are above the average of excellence. In other words, about 93 per cent of the defaulters in our files have been first-class penman. And I have examined thousands Of applications of men who afterward went wrong"
 Richard NJ. McKenna of the de- tective division of the New York po- lice department who has made a special study of handwriting in con- nection with criminal investigation, supports MT. Coles interesting ob- servation.
 From my study of the handwrit- ing of crooks" he says, q believe that vanity and the desire to deceive have a great deal to do with the cul- | tivation of a certain type of very fine penmanship. The normal man in forming his handwriting has the ideal of writing freely, legibiy and l speedily, but the man with the mak ings of a crook in him has the idea of showing off his cleverness. win l ming admira tiOn, and Cohceaing his own true character with a flase ap- pearance of highly ornamented per | lection.

Four Women TanaIe

FLAGSTAFF = Sunday morning Jeanette Martinez, young southside woman, started for church looking very sweet and pretty in her new dress. Maria Alfora and Carmen Carmora, as Jeanette was walking along the Santa Fe "" attacked her They threw her down and rolled her around in a lot of sticktights until the new dress looked like an Irish frieze. Then they started to put in a few artistic touches with some rocks.
 Jeanette got a little peeyed. She regained her feet and in real prize fight style, knocked each of the wo- men down twice in succession.
 Frank Short, who saw the scrim- mage, phoned Marshal R. L. Neiu who hurried to the scene of battle Just before he got there Mrs. Mar tinez, Jeanette's mother. appeared with a piece of healthy plank, with which she hit one woman over the head, knocking her out, and then rammed the other amidships.
 Mesdames Alfora and Carmora were each fined sIo by Magistrate Gilliland, and paid. Sun.

 c. What month of the year are maple trees tapped for sugar? j. K.
 A. The customary time in the spring for tapping maple trees is when the weather has reached that stage when it freezes at night and thaws in the day time. The first in- dication of the rising sap in the trees Is the signal for tapping. The season may begin anywhere from early Feb ruaFy until the first of April, depend ing upon the particular conditions each year. Sometimes the season Is very early and again it may be ex- ceedingly late.

You are the heart and spirit of our Youth
 our splendid Youth that helped to the world You fought for decency and faith and truth,
 Into that conflict all your strength was hurled; JJpon the reddened soil your comrades died,
 Fallen in battle that Cause might live; Freely you gave your all with laughing pride
 And now your country asks you still to give! Give of your hopes and dreams the better part
 That in this nation which you served so well Dreauers and doers shall again take heart:
 Give of your faith, that in each soul may dwell A faith responsive to the country's need:
 Give of your Vision, that gaze Revoud the mists of selfishness and greed
 Into the glory of the coming days Givei Givei Your. service but began with war,
 Our futures in the hollow of your hands, What you have done gold can pay you for
 You're called to service under commands; Duty well done brings great duties still,

 For you are Youth, bHthe Conqueror of Fatei
