THE HUMAN NOSE

eagle or fighting-or scholar-nose,
 the round or pugnacious. and the turn-up. Those versed in the science tell us that neither of the basic types Is so desirable as a nose the pure design of which is somewhat altered or amended. The preferred general purpose nose would appear to be one in which the classic characteristic is
 moderated. as by some irregularity 1 or by combination with another type.
 The unqualified round nose, for ex-
 ample. Is likely to stamp it's possess sor as quarrelsome. Cautious sea cap tains selecting their crews are apt to reject men with this nose. The eagle is frst-rate one for generals and admirals, but if too finely cut it denotes Misunderstanding then more suitable, perhaps, for college pro- | fessors. The Grecian. though ideal l for statuary, is not especially fla vored for success in knock-about | world. As for the turn-up, on the countenance of the female of the
 species it may be one of the most en-
 ticing of all facial features; but not
 ing it's infrequency in the portraits of historical personages, we are con- strained to the opinion that such
 nose is not of much use to man.

KINGS. HIGH COST OF LIVING

From the New York World.
 Kings. it seems, are no more inn mune from the high cost of living than commoners. King Geogre has been so hard hit by it that the sun, provided from the public funds for the royal household fell $225,ooo short of expenses in 1920, with the prospect that the deficit for the cur rent year will be still greater. And to make matters worse. the British monarch's personal desire to reduce the ceremonial splendor of the throne is discouraged by the government on the ground that Parliament and the mass of the people would prefer to maintain the customary dignity oi the crown"
 rommoners at least do not have te consider dignity when it comes to re- trenchment. May not a word of sym pathy be spared for a ruler who hal to keep up appearances in the face ol a mounting deficit? Unlike plair
 citizen. he cannot go out and sell oi
 stocks or solicit life insurance. H. is debarred from turning to litera
 ture. He cannot even publish his owl
 account of the great war or otherwise capitalize his royal state. King il exile has manifest privileges II financing his misfortunes which ar' denied a refgning monarch.
 After all, the divinity of Kings il hedged about by restrictions iron which their meanest subjects ar' free. They cannot even put the roya jewels in pawn to tide over finan cial stringency. No doubt the Moscow point fsview of King Georges pligh
 will be one of commiseration for
 ruler so circumscribed by constttu tional limitations.

 Expert counterfeiters rarely com init an error that would make it so easy for the ordinary handler of piece of currency to detect their work as giving Mir. Cleveland a pointed nose. It may be, in this in- stance. that the draughtsman has a sharply pointed one himself-zit is . curious fact that many artists find 1t difficultsto detach themselves com pletely from their own features in drawing faces. The nose, of course. is apt to be the most conspicuous
 part of the facial equipment. Mir. Cleveland had one of the type which
 the textbooks of noseology classify
 as the 'pugnacious- us-deliberate."
 It is hard for ordinary observers to
 agree with those physiognomistsw who
 hold that the nose, prominent as it
 usually is. is of little help in char
 acter reading. That it Is of invalu-
 able assistance in identifying persons there can be not the least doubt-the police will testify to that. It seems reasonable to believe that MT. Cleve- land would have possessed very dlf- ferent. characteristics than those he displayed had his nose run to spear point instead of having been nicely rounded"
 Like the man himself, intellectually and in his general physical makeup the Cleveland nose was plain. sub stantial. though not notably massive
 progressive rather than revolution ary, sufficiently acute without peina | fdgety-a nose, in short. In which one might repose full faith and con ndence. The nose on the counterfeit ltin would be chased as "deliberate' inquisitorial.''

THE RICH DRINKING roo MUCH

Robert Morss Lovett. in the New
 Republic.
 In the balance of the losses and gains of prohibition it is undoubtedly fallacy to treat the country as a social unit. There is mofe prohibit tion in the country than in the city in Kansas than In New York. But the profitable line of division for our dis cussion proves to be that between the upper and the lower classes. On the whole it is fair generalization to say that if prohibition has cut the drinking of the poor, it has amazing ly increased that of the rich. Liquor has always been prominent sign of that conspicuous waste upon which Mir. Vebien finds that the position of the leisure class depends. but whereas formerly this prestige was a matter largely of connoisseurship and was expressed in qualitative consid- erations, in the present situation sucb fine-spun distinctions have been lost sight of and quantity alone counts Hence. wheras single cocktail used to be an appropriate aperitif. now the hostess is blackballed who does not serve three or four. Similarly a dance could be floated on supply oi liquor which would nowadays be accounted pisgardly. Whether or not the poor are drinking too little. it il certain that the rich are drinking toe much.

Harrison Asks That
 Justice Be Done

N N amendment to the naval A mileage and retirement bill, presented by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi seeks to have a cor rect record made of the officers and midshipmen of the United States navy who left that service to ~en- list in the cause of the Confederacy.
 No record is fair and honorable which fails to state a fact. The naval officers who were in the fed eral service at the outbreak of the Civil war and decided to cast their lots with their own people, did re- sign with honorable records and they were not dismissed" The record of 50 years standing is a misrepresentation of the truth.
 Senator Harrison's amendment
 
 should be adopted. In the light of a day when north and south have got ten over bitterness and partisan ship it is time to do justice to dead men, who did their duty as they saw it, fully as we'll as those who took the opposite position. History should be truthful. Certainly self respecting people will not suffer an inaccurate record to remain in its archives when its inaccuracy is fla grant and misleading, as we'll as un- charitable.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 THOR the 20 years preceding his lI death in 1892, Ernest Renan . was regarded as the foremost prose writer of France. Every book he published was an event in the lit- erary world, and the stir caused by "Caliban," "The Abyess of Jonarre" and particularly his Life of Jesus" still echoes. The time has come for a balanced estimation of his gifts, which Lewis Freeman Mott profess sor of English literature. College of the City of New York. has given us in his Ernest Renan," published re- gently by the D. Appleton company.
 This is the first complete life in English of this famous French phi losoper and orientalist, and should compel recrudence of interest in the man, his works and his times, which the author presents in vivid, pellu- cid and mellifluous style. He Is all ways unbiased and accurate to the core as befits a scholar who has un- dertaken and completed the garsan- tuan task of compiling the life's rec ord of this gifted author,
 Professor Mott has taken especial care with the portion of his book devoted to Renan's early years and has carefully covered his education at the College of Treguler. St. Sul- pice and Issy. where he went accord ing to the regular procedure for his two years course in philosophy. A precocious child, a devoted student and a dreamer unfit for violent physi- cal exercise, he loved his mother dearly and 1t was mainly on her ac- count that he often hesitated to tol- carte the mental struggles which played so important part in his early life and which ultinatey ter minated in his loss of the Catholic faith and prevented his continuing his preparation for the priesthood

A LIFE OF REMAIN

The bfographer then tells us how
 and philosophy and how after travel
 ing in Syria on a government com-
 mission, he returned to Paris and be- came professor of Hebrew in the Col suspended for a time on account of
 protests against his heretical teach |ings.
 Each step in his progress to celeb tail. his writings are discussed at length, especially his two great
 works. The Origins of Christianity
 and the History of the People of
 Israel" which eliminated tin the first part of Renans activity. The other
 part of this much discussed authors work, which comprises more miscel- laneous and autobios sraphicaI writ ings and introduces Renans pro- foundly scientific methods of reason ing are excellently treated by Pro- lessor Mott.
 The narration includes much inter-
 esting material on the Revolution of lS4S, the Second Empire and Franco Prussian war, and pictures of the fa-
 nous quarrel over the professorship of Hebrew and the agitation con-
 nected with the publication of the Life of Jesus." Renan's friendships with eminent men and hls travels in ] Italy and the orient are entertaingIy
 covered. The chief lines of his
 thought, theological, political. phil
 losophical, literary are presented in
 an English rendering of his own
 words (with excerpts aplenty) and.
 the subjects illuminated by his bril- liant mind shown in their application to present day conditions. The biography can be safely classed as "sui generis" work without dis turbing Boswelfs peaceful repose. and anent the author we express our l opinion in this pithy, compendious,

POLICEWOMEN

From the American City.
 There are now about 300 cities with women police. In pearly all police departments women were appointed primarily for preventive ard pI otcc- tive work and because of pressure by womens organizations. In Washing ton the commissioners and the chief of police voluntarily established the woman's bureau because of need that grew out of the war emergency and because of their understanding of the different problems of the sexes, but the bureau had continuous struggle for existence against the forces of evil in the District of Columbia.
 The local administration held that no man should be permitted to in terview women offenders. especially sex offenders. They also made a sur- vey of this country and Europe to determine the best method of func- tioning in a police depa ntment and decided that a single unit in the po- lice department made up of women, with a woman as directing head, which may be known by one of sev- eral names-woman's bureau, wom- ans department, protective bureau, etc.-is the right thing, and they se- lected The name of Woman's bureau. Any prejudice relating to the serv | ice of policewomen has resulted from | the selection, through political pref erenoe of women of ordinary type, with no training or ambition to measure up to the social needs of the police department, their chief aim being to initiate the worst traditions of police men as closely as possible. The sec ond great handicap results from as signing women in police departments to precinct under the control of a Icauptain or detectives who decides the l use to which the womans service shall be directed. Usually he places her in some clerical position and nine
 times out of ten concludes before he sees the woman that she is unable to
 render any service in the police de-
 partment
 Women have heretofore been more or less victims of ignorant police of. ficers In the various cities. In othel

Rapid Increase in
 Number of Buffaloes

T DWARD J. FINNEY, first as- G sistant secretary of the in- terior, must have felt thrilled the other day when the keepers of the buffaloes in Yellowstone park rounded up herd of 800 and drove the laundering mass from mountain passes into the basin for him to see.
 The buffalo came very near be- coming extinct, but the few that were rescued in time and placed in Yellowstone park have so multiplied because of the protection afforded there that what to with the increase is puzzle.
 Many parks of the country have their smaller herds which were started with animals sent from Yel- lowstone park and the demand is not equal to the supply. There is the problem for the department of the interior to solve.
 The Colorado antelope was almost extinct. Rigid state laws protected the animal for five years. At the end of that period they had multi piled by the thousands and during a cold winter when heavy snows cov- cred their feeding grounds in the hills, they came down into the ranches around Denver and ate out of the hay stacks provided for cat tie.
 We can preserve all the treas ures of nature by eliminating waste and vandalism. We should apply the lesson of the buffalo and the antelope to the fast-disappearing forests of the country.

More Swimming Pools

"BirminghaR ought to have more swimming poA1s right down town. It would make for the health of the general community" this was the opinion of M. w. Ganster, head of the life saving department of the Red Cross, expressed yesterday. Some hundreds of people felt the lack of convenient place to swim when the B. R., l.. & F. swim ming pool was closed lately. It was the most popular place in town sometimes as many as 15o people be- ing in at one time.
 There Is nothing better for the development of the muscles than swimming, and it tones up the gen eral system, besides giving one a sort of safeguard against loss of his own life in the water and the ability sometime to save the life of the other fellow.
 "A few more pools would be re- ceived with acclaim by the down town heat sufferers"

IMMORTALITY

By William Wordsworth. Our birth Is but sleep and a for
 getting; The soul that rises with us, our life's
 star,
 Hath had elsewhere It's setting, And eometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do ws
 come
 From God who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancyi Shades of the prison-house begin to
 close
 Upon the growing boy. But he beholds the light. and whence
 it flows,
 He sees 1t In his joy; The youth, who daily farther from
 the east Must travel, still Is natures rfiest.s And By the vision splendid h on his way attended; At length the man .perceives 1t dle away, And fade into the light of eonmca
