state Expenses to Increase.
(Bellows Falls Times.) z

4 disquieting note comes out of Mont
pelier. The budget committee has been
studying state government and the ex-
penses there for the next biennial period
and will announce this week, so it is re-
ported that the budget il recommends
calls for increased state expenses. And
this so soon after a campaign and cleo
ton where the whole "holer" was for re
dEction in state expenses and 10000
votes were given Abe Foote. who finished
his campaign astride single plank-'no
state tax" A budget committee that
cant do any pairing or find a way to re-
duce the state tax at least a half is out
Of joint with the times. 1t hasn't heard
the mandate of the people, and did its
tenure of office depend ON popular vote
it wouldn't last long.
The incoming legislature had better do
a little budgeting on its own hook.

LABOR sPECL.IAIZaTION.

Says Secretary of Labor Davis: the
lesson of the past year seems to be not
SO much a problem of an actual dearth of
employment but rather one of inability
of American wOrkmen TO adjust them
selves TO changing circumstances We
recognize that the exalted place OF our
craftsmen has been attained through
specialization, but in specializing we
seem 10 have lost sight of the fact that
there are other lines of employment than
those habitually followed / would be
the last one to suggest that skilled work
men should undertake TO become So
called Jacks of al trades, but | would
urge upon every idle workman that when
there is inactivity in his trade he use
every effort TO adapt himself to some
ether line Of work AIanifcstIy the
skilled workman can. If be will do work
Of somc other kind but my experience
has been that too often when idleness is
forced upon him he rejects the thought
Of other employment"
That is sound advice, from a man WHO
knows industry and knows labor. 1t is
logically absurd for a workman to as
sumo that when employment stops in
his particular line there is no more in
the world. Often there are good jobs
right around him. And if the work of
painters or coal miners ror any other
group is necessarily seasonal. the obvious
remedy for regular periods Of idleness is

THE HAND OF A SINGER

MANY good authorities on palmistry
AVA hold that a singer should have
Il stiff hand and pointed fingers. The
mounts Of Venus, Luna, Saturn and
Apollo should be strong to show, re
spectiyely, melody, harmony, melody
and harmony.
BY some it is held that the sue
cessfGi singers hand shows always a
good line of Apollo, which runs up
the center Of the hand into the finger
of Apollo, the third or ring finger.
The vocalist should always have the
finger of Apollo terminating in a
point.
Success in seeking and holding pub
lie favor is indicated by line of for
tune rising from the bracelet, and run
ming to the mount of Saturn, at the
base of the middle finger.
Self-contidence is also required by
the man or woman who must appear
before the public, and this is indicated
by separation of the line of life and
that of the head. A line rising from
the line of life to the finger of Jupiter,
the foretinger, means ambition.

DO ONIONS MAKE PEO-
PIE WEEP

THE gas" given off by a freshly
peeled onion makes itself apparent
in two ways. Firstly, by a very
strong aroma which is at once appar-
ent to the sense of smell, and also by
a smarting of eyeballs which, being
extremely sensitive, are hurt by this
substance to which they are not ac-
customed. The nerves of the eye i'm
mediately signal the brain to turn on
the tears or liquid which is secreted
by the body as natural and con-
tinual eye-wash. This flowing over
the eyeball forms a sort of curtain
which prevents the onion gas from
coming in direct contact with the
nerves and thus injuring them.
Tears are present in the eye at all
times. Whenever we wink a tiny
drop of the tear-liquid is smeared
across the ball of the eye and washes
off particles of dust which may have
accumulated. But when this liquid
is produced so rapidly that it cannot
be carried off by the trough at the
lower part of the eye-when, through
sadness or onions, we "weep"-the
tears overflow and run down the face.
