DE Jure, Writes Of .McwIzxburah'

Dear Cynthia--I have been a reader

to shut UP.

HARDING ASKS THAT
BONUS BILL WAIT

washington, July T. President
Harding paid an unexpected visit to
the senate today. and, it Is under-
stood. i~nterposed the weight of hin
personal influence to defer action on
the soldier bonus bill until a clearer
understanding OF the governments
financial outlook has been made pos
sible by enactment OF new tariff n
tax laws.
In an hours conference with senate
leaders the president is understood to
have endorsed the view of Secretary
Mellon that bonus legislation now
might be a serious embarrassment to
the treasury. and even to have sug-
gested that all other legislative BUSH
ness be suspended to permit compile
ton OF the tariff and tax revisions as
soon as possible. He was quoted as
fayoring q recess Of congress while
committee in large fastening Pc
lection of the two
It was indicated that Mr.. Harding's
views would be given at length in a
special message to congress which
may be sent to the capitol tomorrow.
The document Is expected to deal par
ticularly with the bonus bill and to
set forth hat while the administration
regards itself as committed to some
legislation for relief of war veterans,
1t sees no reason for acting precipi.

FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left-Hand-d,
So 1t Is With the Organs
Of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in a chair and fix your at
tentiOn on some subject on the other
side Of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger. open your eyes II at a time.
If, when you open our right eye, you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In
that case you will find your finger
very much to the right Of the object
when you open your left eye.
If You are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves Of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side Of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those Of the other side.
