MUCH REVEALED IN TIE FACE
How ones Occupation Can Be Told
by Those Who Have Made Study
Of the Subject.

II seems to be pretty well agreed
among those in position to speak au-
thoritatively that associated with the
various occupations in life there Is un-
doubtedly a type Of face which more
or less betrays the calling of Its own
er. Medical men, especially in hos
nital practice, find acquaintance with
these types valuable. They may not
he able. with the shrewdness of Sher-
lock Holmes or of other acute persons,
TO read a mans past, present and fu-
ture by a glance at him In the street,
but they are able to gauge with con-
siderable accuracy how far the history
of the case, as given by the patient, is
a truthful one, and how far 1t fits with
his probable occupation in life. Call
ing must certainly have some influence
over the physiognomy of the cabman'
the butler, or the groom; each IRE
ouently possesses type of face whicn
wears so characteristic an expression
as to make 1t not difficult to identity
the vocation accompanying 1t. We
speak also Of the legal face, the mu
sical face, the dramatic face, and thu
military face. This is merely broat
classification, and the best authorities
disbelieve in the claims Of the keel
y observer that he can differentiate u
finer degree.

How Secrets May Be Preserved.

Synthetic inks, by means Of which
writings remain invisible until the pa
per on which they are used Is subject
ed to certain external Influences. have
long been known, but disappearing
paper, the decay of which at the emo
of a fixed time destroys writing and
all. is somewhat of novelty.
Such a paper, 1t appears from a
French report, was invented some time
ago. It is prepared by sleeping In
acid, the strength Of which Is varied
according to the lease Of life intended
to be bestowed upon the paper. Afte'
a longer or shorter time the paper dis

uo,v Carbon Black Is Made.

How Is carbon black made? BY
burning oil or natural gas. But the
carbon obtained from gas Is much
blacker and better than the carbon
from oil.
Gas burners are erected underneath
steel channels that move back ana
forth. The carbon Is deposited on
these channels, but II is constantly
scraped Oft by their movement against
each other. Only 1.5 per cent OF the
total carbon in the gas is recovered In
the form of black; thus the waste OF
gas Is enormous. Scientists are now
irving to produce carbon from gas py
mixing It with other gases withou'
necessitating combustion. = Popular

HOW

INV
EXPERT HUNTERS WAGE
WAR ON SAVAGE BEASTS.
Compared with some individ-
ual members of the mountain
lion, wolf, and coyote families,
Gulliver's hungry giants ana
giantesses were light and dainty
eaters. All these animals are
classed as predatory, but a few
specimens develop exceptional
skill and cunning in killing cat
tie. sheep, and colts. They usual
ly acquire equal skill In avoid
ing traps, poison bats, and rifle
fire, and often do thousands OF
dollars worth Of damage before
they are killed.
The bureau Of geological sur
vey, United States Department
of Agriculture, keeps a stan OF
expert hunters In the field for
the express purpose OF ridding
government range lanus OF these
four-footed outlaws, and thus
assist In relieving the rancher.
A government hunter killed
mountain lion near Roosevelt,
Ariz., that had destroyed 90
calves and three colts on a single
ranch. One wolf slain by anoth-
er hunter In New Mexico had
killed % calves. Another, In
Wyoming, slaughtered 30 head
of cattle before one of Uncle
Sans hunters shot the criminal.
A pair Of Wyoming wolves that
had learned exceptional cunning
and cruelty ran a yearly board
bill amounting to about $500.
Their meal tickets were Cancelled
by a couple of well-aimed rifle
I shots by a government hunter.
! Two other wolves, which showed
! gustatory preference for mutton
I and young horse flesh, in a single
month killed $50 sheep and seven
colts, but at the end OF the
month a hunter collected their
{ pelts.

JUDGE STUDYING
Lee INJUNCTION
Takes Application Under Advise
ment After Arguments Sat-

Judge Z. A. Littlejohn of the Su-

under advisement the application of
Lee county for an injunction against
the town of Smithville from inter-
fering with its re-routing of the Dixie
Highway through the town, and on
the counter petition Of the town of
Smithville for an injunction against
the Lee county officials from at
tempting to invade the towns alleged
exclusive right over its own streets
by doing any of the work forbidden
by the towns officials.
A number of fine points of law
presented by the attorneys on both
sides call for some serious study,
Judge Littlejohn stated, and he will
announce his decision after he has
given tie controversy and the law de-
tailed attention.
In the meantime the temporary re-
straining order against both sides re-
mains in force.

LEGION SEEKING
LAST AMERICAN
KILLED IN WAR

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 10.
Who was the last American soldier
killed in action?
The American Legion, endeavor-
ing to learn the identity of the
last to fall, is receiving many
claims at its national headquarters.
The French government will erect
monument to the last man killed.
The case cf sergeant OF the
10Th division who tried to capture
the last German machine gun of
the war has been offered to the
Legion by Major Albert T. Rich,
Of the regular army.
1t was north Of Yerdun on the
morning Of November II, 1918,
that The incident cited by Major
Rich occurred. a first sergeant Of
an infantry company, aspiring to
take the last Boche gun, left his
lines at 1885 o'clock, just five
minutes before the war ended.
The sergeant was killed perhaps
a minute before the armistice, i'm
mediately in front of the gun he
was trying to capture. At 11:00
o'clock sharp the German officer
in charge Of the gun directed four
Of his men to pick up the dough
boy and carry him to the Ameri-
can lines.
Colonel William Ii. Curry was in
commnad of the regiment to which
the sergeant belonged, Major Rich
reported, and General w. J. Mich
olson commanded the division.

ton for the Orphan Home at Hape-
vile, was loaded on a freight car here
Thursday and Friday and the car was
packed to its capacity.
All the towns and cities along the

the trucks from Lumpkin and other
nearby towns unloaded their grocer
les and supplies and the local ship
ments from ali other towns arrived,
the loading committee here was put
10 work in arranging and stacking
the supplies in the car in such man
ner as to be able to get everything
into one car.
Trucks were operated throughout
RIchland Thursday morning picking
up contributions from the homes in
the city and at moon the car was
heavily packed.
The trustees Of the orphanage ask
mat no syrup or sweet potatoes be
sent, as they had a sufficient supply
OF syrup and unless the sweet pota-
toes were sent in cold weather they
would spoil.
There were all kinds of canned
goods and groceries, meal, flour, cof-
Tee, sugar, corn, hams and other
meats, peanuts, big sacks of dried
peas, butter beans, etc. There was
also food for the stock, hay, grain,
etc., such as wheat, oats and the like

INCOME TAX REBATES
TO BE PAID QUARTERLY

ATLANTA, Dec. l9.-The follow
ing statement is issued by the Col
lector of Internal Revenue, j. +.
Rose, District of Georgia.
important changes in income tax
procedure, directed by Commissioner
David Fl. Blair, are embodied in a
treasury decision effective December
16, which provides for the prompt
adjustment of claims for refund and
abatement of federal taxes. Here
tofore when an over-assessment or
over-payment was disclosed by the
audit of an income tax return, the
taxpayer was invited to file a claim
for the abatement of the over-assess-
ment or the refund of the overpay-
ment, When received the claim was
registered and filed away until reach
ed In due course for consideration.
Because of the large number of such
claims filed, delay in adjustment
necessarily resulted.
after December Is, taxpayers
will not be advised of their privilege
of filing "a claim for the refund of
taxes which have been paid in excess
of amounts legally due, but instead
will receive a certificate of over
assessment and check in correction
of the error, or if an assessment is
outstanding against the taxpayer for
income or evcess profits tax, the
ovef-payment will be applied as a
credit against the assessment and the
balance immediately refunded. This
will be Of distinct financial advantage
to both the taxpayer and the gov
ernment. 1t will do away with the
necessity for the taxpayer filing a
claim for refund, and will greatly
reduce TIE amount Of work to be
done by the Bureau in the adjustment
of claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund, but
it is expected that the number of
such claims filed each month will be
greatly reduced. Efforts are being
made by the Bureau to adjust with
in SIX months, all claims now pending
and thereafter to keep the work cur
rent. The Revenue act of 1921 pro
yides that under certain conditions in
terest shall be paid upon claims from
the date of the payment of the tax
to the date of the allowance of the
claim. The new procedure should
greatly reduce the amount of in
terest, which the government must of
necessity pay upon claims for re-
fund"
