LIFE ON PALMYRA
 ISLANDS ENJOYED
Rr Associated Presn

Honolulu. T. H., August 2--Life on Palmyra Islands, several hundred miles southwest of Hawaii is lone- ly but busy for trio of Robinson Crusoes from Honolulu who have elected to live there and prepare cop ra from the coconut groves. accord ing to advices received from them.
 Colonel and Mrs. William Ming and Edwin Benner. who went there last October have seen but one vessel, an American naval craft. since they stepped ashore on Palmyra's quiet beach When that ship recently came to Honolulu it brought an ac- emulation of mail from the three telling of life on the coconut isles.ss
 The daily routine consists mostly of building trays on which to lay the coconuts they related. These trays are about 100 feet long and three feet wide and day after day the nuts are gathered, gouged and left open in the sun to dry.
 Watch Weather
 The little colony keeps close watch on the weather, for an hours shower may spoil a lot of .copra. As rain and thunder storm appears to be fairly regular visitors at Palmy- ra, weather forecasting has become an important factor in the work.
 The islands of the groups are so close together that the Mings and Benner frequently wade from one to another always, :. however with a wary eye out for sharks.
 Fish are plentiful and furnish much of their food while occasional sly a bird dinner varies the monotony.
 Shoes soon became problem. They thought they had c plentiful supply but wet weather and heavy tramp ing quickly wore down their stock and the three Palmyrans have been "building' their own footwear for some time from the rough material provided by nature.
 Palmyra Islands, which have been leased for their copra by Honolulu syndicate, are the property of Henry F. Cooper. who is said to have bought them from their English owners for s75o and brought them under the American flag.

--------o~---------------- THE SHAPE OF THE HEAD

From Psychology Goldbricks," by
 Henry Foster Adams, in the Scrib-
 ner
 Even one of the most plausible of their statements, namely that a high forehead is a sign of intelligence, has been definitely disproved by the painstaking studies of Karl Pearson. He demonstrated experimentally that the color of the hair, or it's straight ness or curliness, shows ones intell- gence better than does a high fore head, although these are not offered either as good indices. In other words, there has been found no defi- mite relationship between any single peculiarity of the shape of the head and any trait of character.
 For many years an Italian crimin- ologist. Lombroso, made 8 study of criminal structural peculiarities and their relationship to crime. He found well-marked tendencies for criminals to possess certain stigmata or signs, but unfortunately the -signs of the criminal were found to be widely prevalent among those whose names had never been upon police blotters. It was his pet scheme to have all in- dividuals who were marked by pe- culiar sign watched by his detectives, thus preventing crime instead of merely punishing it after it had been Committed. It was entirely. sS.iprac- ticable, for the characteristic sign of murderer was found in altogether too many tender-h hearted individuals to make the scheme at all feasible.
 All systems of similar nature. in which relationship has been sought between traits of character and pecu liarity of the structure. have met about the same fate.
 In physiognomy the goal is to find certain landmarks as universal signs of certain definite traits of charac- ter. Before venturing on a theoreti- cal discussion 1t may be Illuminating to mention the statement made by a colleague in a recent public lecture.

SHIP
 TAKEN IN TOW OFF
 NEW JERSEY COAST
Federal Officials Claim Xvi. dence of Rum Running Conspiracy Involving
 Prominent Persons
By Associated Press

New York, August 2.-Federal of- ficials claimed today to have evidence of rum-running conspiracy involving prominent persons in various cities along the Atlantic seahoard which would go far toward clearing up the mystery Of phantom ships for several months reported bobblng up outside the three mile limit.
 This claim was made after the liquor-laden schooner Henry l.. Mar shall had been seized off Atlantic City and brought into this port with four of her crew by the coast guard cutter Seneca. Her captain and mate escaped in a swift motor boat.
 Federal agents declined to reveal the nature of the evidence at their command, but intimated that more than one vessel was engaged in land ing liquor along the coast from Maine to Florida. Firm belief was expressed that these were the lightless craft which mariners had declared on reaching port had been sighted at sea, but had refused to answer
 
 signals.
 No specific complaint thus far has been lodged against the schooner Marshall, which with her cargo of more than 1,500 cases of liquor is be- ing held by armed guards pending further investigation. Her cook and three seamen are being detained as material witnesses.
 Capt. Aaron L. Gamble of the Seneca has made an official report of the seizure 10 the collector of GUS toms, Aldridge. United States At torney Hayward also has been called into conference.
 Although the schooner was outside the three-mile limit and was flying the British flag when she was seized federal officials asserted they were Justified in taking charge of her by the evidence of conspiracy in their possession.
 Reported transfer of British regis try of the vessel, a former Gloucester fisherman is being investigated. One of her crew asserted this transfer had been made, but federal agents said no supporting evidence had been of- fered

GOVERNOR IS OFF
 ON TEN-DAY TRIP
The Trip Silences Rumors About Date of Extra Ses-
 sion of Legislature

Montgomery, August 2.-(SpeciaD session of the legislature has been silenced by the vacation trip of Gov. Thomas E. Kilby, who left the cap itol Saturday morning and will not return until the latter part of next week. No one has any information about the date of the session or even that the governor will call one, de- spite the fact that many reports have been circulated through the state in recent days.
 Many persons expected to read the newspapers last Sunday. A Mont gomery afternoon paper Monday said it had information that the session might be held beginning August 22. However, this same newspaper has carried stories that the session would begin August g and then the six teenth.
 Governor Kilby will leave, Annis- ton for Blowing Rock, N. C., making the trip through the country. He has told no one when he will return and no one knows whether or not he made any definite plans for the legislature before leaving.
 Many persons believe the session can not be held until September now, contending that the governor will give the lawmakers at least 30 days notice of the special session They do not know that there is nothing in the law or constitution setting apart any certain notice of the extra session. It is within the power of the governor to call the legislature into extra session by tel egraph if he desires so to do.
 Five vacancies now exist in the house of representatives, though no county will be without representation in the event of the extra session as the vacancies are in counties which have two or more representatives. w. E. Dickson of Jefferson county resigned to become jury commission CT. James H. Hardaway of Mont gomery retired to become a membef of the city commission of Montgom- cry. P. H. Wharton of Jackson, J. A. Holmes of Elmore and W. L. Sherrod of Lauderdale are dead
 No vacancies have been created in the state senate since the extra ses- sion last year.

Bessemer, August 2.-(SpeciaO A big municipal park for Bessemer and playgrounds for children are be- ing discussed as being needed im- provements in the city.
 At present the only park the clty owns is located within block of the city hall, and while it is a beautiful spot and beautifully kept, it is not large enough for the requirements cf the city. It is too far away from the residence section of the southside to be of advantage to the children as a playground, and it is much too small for the equipment necessary for modern playground.
 Mayor B. c. Jones advocates large acreage to be purchased for the park by the city, and this suggestion is meeting with hearty approval Of numbers of citizens, who realize thai Bessemer has outgown the present city park which is not adequate as big municipal center.
 Certain equipment for play was furnished the children of the Claren- don avenue school by the parent teachers association of the school, and certain equipment was furnished the Roberts-V Vance school by the parent teachers association of that school, but neither fulfilled the needs of the children for play.
 Dr. L. L. Vann, superintendent of the schools of the city, Is making urgent pleas both to the city council and to citizens of the community to provide these backgrounds at the earliest possible time.

STORY, "ISOBEL." AT
 THE TRIANON THIS WEEK

t A deep and primitive appeal is made in the Trianon photoplay. 'Iso- bel" It is one of Oliver Curwood's very best stories, the great author of the vast outdoors, who has made na- ture religion. The action takes place in the snow-covered expanses of northwest Canada and Alaska, that IS just across the line.
 The story is very primitive. It mainly concerns the soul hunger of men who pass years farther north than many women dare to go. msn who long just for the sight of woman. House Peters is played as mounted Canadian police, who shares with other men in that Icy region the great and gnawing hunger for love. His words. "A man has to
