about 1890 o'clock. He ordered a
bottle of pop, and when Walker turn
ed to wait on him, he brought out a
gun
Give me that money" he said.
Walker hesitated. The man re-
peated his request.
Walker turned over his pocketbOOI
which held 81. The bandit backed to
the door, holding his gun on the pro-
prietor of the store. As he stepped
outside, Walker, who had been slowly
backing to the place where his gun
was. secreted. ran to the door and
opened fire. The negro returned the
fire.
The Walker store is located west of
the Pennsylvania shops, and is only
a quarter of a mile from the restaurant

the Printers in the gym Wednesday
morning and went down to defeat by
the score of IA TO 8. This game mark

This contest did not count officially
toward the standing in the league on
account of the members of each team
being outside of the regular team and
therefore ineligible.

ence in the certainty and permanence
Of our Chinese program than we our
selves have. Great Britain and Japan
will always continue to wish that an
alliance Of the three nations had been
set up to keep the door open.
They feel that it is not enough for
the present conference merely to lay
down the principles of the open door.
They think there ought to be, for the
future a continuously functioning al
lance to keep the door open and to
dispose of questions arising under it..
But that is made impossible by the
opposition of the American senate to
all alliances of this kind
The end of the conference will be
that a broad and fairly detailed dec
laration of principles will be laid down
and all the powers will agree to it..
The progress towards this outcome is
much faster than is commonly real

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Disby Phillips,
 Copyrighted 1921
Round and Oval Handwriting

In previous articles 1t has been shown that large handwriting indicates a ten dency to concentrate on and often ex- aggerate the importance of small things that angular writing is the sign of nerv- ous energy, and that small writing re- veals the intellectual and Nli:osophic na- ture.
 The indications of the well rounded, easily flowing handwriting indicate still another type of character.
 Do any of your correspondents write such a hand? If they do, you'll find that patience, calmness and amiability are their normal characteristics. You can rest assured that it will take a real storm of emotion to make them judge you hastily or harshly. Conversely, il you find them doing either of these things to ou, which might mean nothing from some other people, it's 8 pretty good sign you have made them more thaf: normally interested in you.
 The round or oval hand is not the hand of the ascetic, but of the person who is fond of pleasure and beauty alsc of comfort; and for the rest, of one who is sympathetic but somewhat passive not the sort of person likely to achieve great heights of fame CT ambition, but quite likely to win through patient an6 strong effort position of comparative comfort and luxury without an over sacrifice of effort.

ing congressional action against them. This has characterized number of the bureaus in which reforms have been carried out.
 In the veterans bureau the resigna- ton of Dr. Haven Emerson has been called for and obtained but in leaving the bureau he makes charges to the effect that medical men are being re- placed by plumbers and policemen and that the bureau Is being run as a poiiti cal organization.
 Charges of that kind are always bound to stand out much more proni- nently than the conditions under which they are made. Director Forbes de- clares that they are only what he ex- pected from the man and indicates that he is tndulging in recrimination, that instead of taking the repudiation of his attitude while in the bureau and swallowing 1t he desires to stir up trou- ble and dissatisfaction. If he Is simply carrying on obstructive tactics on leav- Ing the office such as might have been the cause for his resignation" they must be weighed only for what they are worth. If, however. he deals in facts and does not grossly exaggerate, and there must be those who gre in a position to pass Judgment thereon, what ever serves to handicap the ineficiency of the bureau should be eliminated.

,rw roRK.s PRIMARY Frsr1r.

Fusion has long since been regarded as the means whereby it Is possible to elect other than a Tammany candidate h the city Of New York. It has accom- r-ished it's object in previous years and there arc indications that those who look with so much disfavor upon t-e Hvlan method of running the big -..~ fully realize the necessity of it th.s year.
 Fusion doesn't mean the combination ot all the factions opposing Hylan and yupTo-tinc any candidate regardless of his qualifications. There must be pre- tented e candidate who knows New York. knows It's needs, knows it's trou- h'cs and who is known as one capable ,s directing the affairs of the metropo- Hz. who IS competent to lead in the cor rec-ton of the ills and who possesses the leadership that will not only win the support of the people at the polls but vtl also have their enthusiastic backing throughout the period for which he may be elected.
 The expression of the fusionists un- uusstionahly points to Borough Presi- dent Henry IT. Curran as such man and Inc fact that he has been selected as the coalition candidate not only gives added impetus to the campaign 10 oust Hylan but must make its ap- peal 10 the thoughtful citizens of that city if Tn fact there arc enough such who are able to influenced by the wei fare o fthe community and the quail fcatfons of the candidates.
 New York has had it's experiences No sooner does 1t resolve to correct conditions and set the necessary ma chinery in motion than 1t gives way to influences that are more concerned with political control. It Is plainly 7 case Of whether the people of New Yorl want Hylan for four more years or no and whether those who are opposed t his administration and the effects of i are willing to get out in sufficient fore to prevent q repetition. Certainly the! have the candidate upon whom they car pace reliance and if there Is sheer and sufficiently large desire to better conditions the time Is propitious.

TREATING THE INSANE.

The idea which is to be put into ef- feet and for which the legislature has made provision, whereby certain pa- tients in the state hospitals for the in- sane will be permitted to return to their families upon recommendation of the superintendents will be watched with particular interest throughout the state.
 It is to be realized that there are now patients who are permitted to go away from the hospitals for the day and others who ara allowed to return home for longer periods when 1t is es- tablished that there IS no longer in- volved in such action and where there are reasons to believe that there win be beneficial results.
 It isn't understood that there Is any intention of taking chances with g dangerous class of patients, either in connection with the interests of them selves Or the public but that some who have been mentally disturbed and are improved and likely to make better progress under home influences than in an institution are to be given the bene-
  tional protection of providing an ex- pert who will make frequent visits to such patients to watch their condition and the progress made.
 NThe Idea marks a departure from past practice in that no such visiting expert has been available. The insti- tutions have kept in touch with the pa tients through visits to the hospitals o- by reports made concerning them. The new plan while seeming to indicate 8 relief to the facilities for caring for patients at the hospitals doesn't run counter to the hitherto declared policy of providing institutional treatment for the mentally disturbed as quickly as possible in order to arrest the disease when 1t is most susceptible to treat ment but is a development of the idea to the extent of adding the benefits of care and treatment at home wher conditions are favorable. The ain seems to be to serve the best interests of the patients and it is to be sincerely hoped that such will prove to be tn, case
