THE HAND OF A SAILOR

T HE hand Of successful sailor
should be strong, sshort, firm
and broad A characteristic sign
Is II well-developed mount of Luna, ~.
ing ON the outside of the palm near the
wrist II denotes great love of the
sea. If there Is star on this mount,
1t means danger by water, to which
naturally, every sailor is exposed.
A line of Mars, paraleling the line
Of life, on the Inside, shows endur-
ance and protection from great dan
gers. The sailors hand contains, also,
well-marked travel lines; that Is,
lines extending from the first bracelet
and going upward to the mount of the
moor. or coming in at the wrist from
the side of the hand. II travel line
strongly marked Is terminated by a
cross appearing on 1t, that Is a sign
that q journey will end In misfortune
The lire of life of the sailor should
be well separated from the line of the
head since such separation signifies
plenty OF sdlf.confidence.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER |. ROBINSON

IA MAN'LL work pretty
~ hard t loaf a little.
A strange psychology
shapes the destinies of many
lives. Endowed with great
minds, thoroughly educated in
their chosen professions or bust
ness, yet some fail 10 grasp the
good things which are within
their reach.
For some unacoountable rea-
son they ubhor work. But like
the lad who has To HOE big
field Of d0rn before he can visit
the old fshin' hole. they'll Nenr
out their minds and their bodies
for the privilege of few hours
of"
Yet when they do have moth
ing TO do hut watch time 20
fisetlng by. they 20 around like
lost sheep locking for something
To- happen.
Ioafirg does great harm.
Everyone shos1id not work con-
stantly when Dat asleep. Health
and happiness demand that each
person should have sufficient
spare time to read, rest and en-
Joy himself. But 'one would he
far better off II Ne worked asid
slert and did nothing else II he
spends his time loadng.
With so many pro6itable ways
to occupy days and evenings
of" II Is difficult to understand
why men--many Of them young
and actiWe-waste their spare
moments, nut always hang their
heads and growl when the whis-
lie blows fos' work.
Those who don't find reputable
means Of enjoying themselves
and of improving, their mental
and physical lives during spare
times seldom do the world much
good. TO find happiness and to
advance ones position there
must he constant constructive
thought and endeavor.
The happiness Of every indi-
vidual In large measure depends
on the part he plays In the
progress and joy Of the world.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

ITO MASTER despair, to look be-

highest types of human quality.
The doing Of such things as these
develop strength Of purpose and
beaUtify character. They enlarge the
heart and mind, open new vistas
where scenes are changing constant

storing the soul with knowledge found
only in pursuit of the Infinite.
Can you do 'any one of them and
acQuit yourself satisfactorily?

The man or woman who In his or

time in frivolous amusements That
gnaw regularly great holes in your

If you do, y0n will come In same

The estimate is not the final one
for the season, for frost or other
damage may come Mr.. Stewart said
that the Central of Georgia's final
figures will be compiled on April 20,
which should come close to the actual
production. Estimates of other years
have been close to the actual ship
ments.
The biggest decline in production
this year will come in Elbertas. These

scientific prevention measures are

crop, and they are proceeding ac-
cordingly this year. All of the in
structlons of the government and

spraying and the general care of the
crop are being carried out in detail"
The survey made by the Central of
Georgia railroad shows that the Mon
tlcello district is the only one that
suffered serious frost and cold wealth

Monticello, where the industry is be-
coming a big enterprise, has been
destroyed by cold weather.
