MONEY IN THE HAND

NEXT to love and marriage, nothing
~ interests the human race, taken
as a whole, so much as the subject OF
the acquisition OF wealth. One OF the
most common questions asked of a
palmist is this: Does my hand show
whether I shall become rich or notY
OF course, 1t must be understood
that palmistry does not claim to be
an exect science, foretellirg the future
and reading the past and present with
absolute accuracy. We may examine
the hands of many men and women
who have inherited or have acquired
wealth, and find therein, in all or
nearly all of them, certain signs. But
that does not mean infallibly that the
same signs in other hands show the
acquisition or possession of wealth.
A deep line across the second
phalanx Of the thumb means money
acquired by marriage. A star on the
same part Of the thumb. In womans
hand, means the same thing.

FLORA

FLORA is as sprtngtime name as
= any maid could wish. 1t means
flowers, OF course, and commentaries
the goddess of flowers, who was 30
called from the Latin name for spring
blooms, "fos.''
Flora came into use through her
masculine counterpart curious to re-
late. From the goddess was evolved
Elorus, chiefly memorable as the name
OF the procurator whose merciless rule
drove the Jews to their last rebellion,
and Flora was subsequently derived
as the feminine Of the former name.
The first Flora was found In Spain.
She was the daughter OF Count Julian
who was much disliked and Is re-
corded In Spanish ballads as Ia Cava, I"
the wicked.
The martyrdom Of a Spanish maiden
called Flora by the Moors In SOL re-
deemed the reputation Of Flora as q
feminine name and It's use became
widespread In SPAIN whence 1t pene-
trated France as Florie Scotland
which has an extraordinary fondness
for flower names, adopted 1t, and soon
1t was brought to England where 1t
still enjoys the greatest and most
widespread vogue.
The emerald. symbol OF springtime,
is Flora's talisnanic gem. 1t promises
its wearer keen intelligence, gentle
charm and prophetic vision. With
an emerald IN her hand, she Is said to
have such perfect psychic power as
to be able to foreshadow future
events Wednesday is her lucky day

thorne, Englands loyeliest spring
symbol, is her flower.

Chinese Idea Of Assassination.

The Chinese have peculiar notions
concerning assassination. The man
who killed the German minister Won
Kettler, during the Boxer outbreak, Is
looked on by the Chinese as a national
martyr The commemorative arch
which the Germans forced on the Chi
nese as monument Of their disgrace
for numbering the representative Of
foreign power, was understood by the
people at large to be lasting me-
mortal to the man who had committed
the deed
When the arch was removed by
the Chinese after they declared war
on Germany, the people were of the
opinion that either he or one OF his
family had committed some crime OF
such nature that the honor that had
been conferred on him had been with
drawn by the government.

STABLE, BOY TO STATESMAN
Englishman Born In Humble Circum-
stances Made Place for Himself
Among the Great

Perhaps no man of modern times
has passed more varied and roman
tic life than Thomas Ward, who com
menced life as a stable boy and who
later became famous as a statesman,
the intimate OF kings and the player
OF prominent role at the court of
Parma
Ward, who was born at Yorkshire,
Eng, Ill 1910, entered the service OF
Prince Lichtenstein OF Hungary at an
early age, and soon made a name for
himself as jockey In Vienna. In
1S46 he was made master of the horse
at the court Of the duke of Lucca
proving his efficiency by reducing ex-
penses more than so per cent-be-
cause of which proof Of his ability he
was sent to Florence on a confidential
mission Of the highest Importance In
l84S. But shortly afterward the
dukes rule was terminated by a revo-
luton, and Ward became an active
agent Of Austria, recovering the hered-
itary estates of Parma and Placentta.
As reward. he was made prime min
lister and sent as an envoy, first to
Vienna and later to st. Petersburg
After the assassination of the youth
ful Charles III, whom the baron had
placed upon the throne of Parma
Ward retired from public life anc
took to agricultural pursuits In Aus
tria.
When he died, carrying with him
many secrets connected with the lead
ing families of Europe, this man who
started as stable boy bore no less
than nineteen distinguished titles
among them several conferred by the
reigning houses Of Austria, Germany
and Russia.

FIGURES ARE UNFAIR

the national industrial conference
board which is compiling figures for
coal owners in their fight against the

OUR navy was not prepared for war
- in 1917. is no better prepared to-
day than it was then, and never will
be prepared under the present organi-
cation plan, declares Admiral William
5. Sims, recently retired from the
navy.
The Navy department at Washing
ton bungled and mismanaged the feet
during the war, and since the war
there has been no clear indication of
disposition to put the navy in fighting
trim, Admiral Sims asserted.
''The navy has not been properly
handled" Admiral Sims said, because
of mistakes made at Washington. You
know nothing of these except that
those in control at Washington wanted
you to know. A congressional investi-
CATION was made after the war and all
the Republicans were certain the ma
Jority report was correct and all
Democrats unhesitatingly accepted the
minority report.

ASKS RELIEF
FOR FARMERS
President Urges Federal Aid
For Merchant
Marine.

shington-President Harding, ad
dressing a joint session of congress
urged the enactment of legislation
which would give more aid to the
American farmer.
His plea in behalf of agricultural re-
lief was made in his message calling
upon congress for passage of the ad
ministration merchant marine bill
which will provide government aid for
American ships.
In asking for aid for the farmers
President Harding said:
AT the present moment the Ameri-
can farmer is the chief sufferer from
wars mutations, and betting govern
ment aid to our farmers is highly es
sential to our national welfare. No
people may safely boast good for
tune which the farmer does not share.
ALREADY this congress and the adj
ministrative branch of the govern
ment have given willing ear to the
agricultural plea for postwar relief,
and much has been done which has
proven helpful. Admittedly it is not
enough. Our credit systems, under
government provision and control,
must be promptly and safely broaden
ed to relieve our agricultural distress.
The president declared it was neces-
sary to pass the ship bill in order to
relieve the government of present
staggering losses" in operation of the
war built merchant feet, and to estab-
lish program of assured shipping to
serve the nation in war and give a
guaranty of commercial independence

The commission would have the
duty of determining whether 2.75 per

percentage of alcohol does produce in

ton of the commission would be used
as basis for liberalizing the enforce
