subject.
Where you can make detailed meas.

Will arrive at very accurate results.
But In most instances 1t Is not prac-
tical to do so. and this puts a premium
on quick observation and instructive
judgment. Whatever inexactness there
Is lies not in the science, but in the
user of It.
All this does not mean, however, that
the lessons of characterology may not
be applied, by the salesman for in.

not with exactness. For practical pur.
poses It may be out of the question for
the salesman to make n complete and
detailed mental audit of the character

him to observe certain fundamental out.

For instance, 1t is not hard for him

SAILOR TELLS OF GIRLS DEATH.
Bennett Says His Companion Known
as "Red" Shot Clara Stone.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 7.-Admission
that he was the companion at the
time of the man who killed six year
old Clara Stone in Duncan woods,
near Orangeburg, Mo-, a year ago,
was made today by Norman George
Bennett of Baltimore, in a statement
taken by Capt. R. q. Johnson, COM
mander Of the Hampton Roads naval
training school. Bennett, who is 1t
years old, is a sailor. He enlisted in
the navy recently at Baltimore, CIV
ing his age at 1S.
Bennett is being held in custody
for Maryland authorities.
The Stone child disappeared Feb
ruary 21 after she had left home for
school. Bennett declared in his state
ment that his companion, whom ne
described as "Red," kidnapped the
girl, and when no ransom was paid,
killed her. His statement follows:
about one year ago I helped to
commit a crime near Baltimore, Nd,
in Duncan woods, near Orangeburg,
Nd, do not know the name Of the
man who was with me. 1 always
called him "Red." He was about 80
years old, and five feet tall. We saw
girl, Clara Stone, coming down the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad tracks, near
Duncan woods going to school. We
kidnapped her and held her for ran
som for two days. We did not get
any ransom so Red shot her with a
pistol. We then covered the body
with leaves and left for Baltimore.
"We separated after arriving in
Baltimore. 1 do not know Reds
whereabouts nor where he lives. The
best place l know to find him is
around the moving pictures on
Broadway, the Clifton, and the Area
dia. Clara Stone lived at Orange
burg, Nd. Red and 1 was in the
crowd at the funeral when she was
buried after her body was found in
Duncan woods

The Practical Side of Religion.

DR.. j. NJ. Buckley, the Methodist
divine, was asked one day to conduct
an experience meeting at a negro
church in the south.
A woman rose and bore witness to
the preciousness Of her religion as
light burner and comfort giver.
"That's good,"' commented Dr..
Buckley. "But how about the prac-
tical side? Does your religion make
you strive to prepare your husband
a good dinner? Does it make you
look after him in every way?'
Just then he felt yank at his coat
tails. 1t was the minister who whis-
pered ardently:

SUBJECT TO AIR CURRENTS.
Can Never Replace Craft With En-
gines.

Berlin, Sept. 7.-The sensational
results attained in the gliding con-
tests at Gersfield have caused much
comment throughout Germany but in
the opinion of federal experts the
wind is so largely determining fac
tor in the success of motorless avia-
ton that sail planes can never COM
pletely replace the engine driven ma
chimes.
1t is felt, however, that in the de-
velopment of the glider lies Ger,
many's chief avenue of overcoming
the imposition Of the. Versailles
treaty restricting the size of her
aerial motors and the question has
already arisen as to whether the en-
tente will deem it advisable to ex-
tend the restrictions so as to include
the potentialities arising through the
latest turn in German inventive
genius. Experts believe that Germany
can comply with the present treaty
requirements and yet produce en- ef-
fective air fleet by turning out ma
chimes in which the sail and motor
features are combined.
The principal objection to the mo-
torless airplane in it's present form
is that it is incapable of flying when
there is no wind. "Speed is safety
hitherto has been quoted as an axiom
in aviation; experts said that stabil-
ity was only to be gained through
powerful motors. Now the possibil-
ity is seen in producing a vehicle
capable of flying which would be
automatically stable, yet which would
be equipped with a motor so that,
lacking wind near the ground it
could raise itself to a height where
there is always an air current.
When the two student flyers, Mar
tens and Hentzen, stayed in the air
at Garsfeld for more than an hour
and two hours respectively, thus sue
cessfully establishing world records
they were operating this glider in
winds ranging from five to II meters
a second. Their feats marked the
most advanced step in this direction
since motorless flying was under
taken in Germany in 1895, when Otto
Lilienthal sacrificed his life to the
cause. DR.. Reiszner, engineering pro-
fessor in the technical school at
Charlottenburg, declares it is very
likely that, with a favorable wind and
terrain, greater records will be made
as to duration of fighsts, but ne
deprecates the possibility of long dis
tance flight, pointing out the depend
ence Of the sail plane on the wind
both in its power of flight and the
direction of flying.

PELICANS MUST GO.
Birds Are Destroying Too Many Trout
In Yellowstone Lake.

Excitement is rife in the wild ami
NAL community of the park since the
scandal about Mr.. Pelican received
public attention, says Yellowstone
Park, Wyoming dispatch. The ducks
are quacking about, the 'squirrels
are chatting it broadcast in their
shrill voices.
Throughout all the whisper and
nudges of neighbors as he passes, Mr..
Pelican maintains his steady tread,
seemingly unconscious of the jibes Of
the multitude. His actions would indi-
cate he still holds his valued place in
the community.
His trouble started with the charge
by Prof. Henry B. Ward, head Of the
department of zoology of the Univer-
sity of Illinois, that he is trout
"hog" and violator of all the tenets
of good sportsmanship. Proof of
these charges probably will mean
that Mr.. Pelican will become an out
cast with everyone's door closed to
him and everyone's hand against him.
Professor Ward is conducting an
exhaustive investigation for the fed
eral bureau of fisheries of Lake Yel-
lowstone in Yellowstone National
Park as to the relationship between
the pelican and the trout supply. His
investigation, which has been pro-
crossing several weeks, will continue
through the present season.
The flock of pelicans that live and
breed on Lake Yellowstone numbers
about 400. They summer" aristo-
cratically at the lake, feasting on the
best the land affords from spring un-
til September, then go to their winter
resorts along the Gulf of Mexico.
The bird diets almost exclusively
on fish, and so far as the Yellow
stone and other Rocky Mountain
lakes and streams are concerned,
this means exclusively on trout. He
estimates that the 400 pelicans con-
sumo more trout than are taken dur
ing an entire season by sportsmen.
The bird is no respecter of size
limits or open seasons. He declared
he had seen platoon Of Sc pelicans
ranged across a stream in regular
formation, preying on the trout as
they swan up to spawn. Hitherto,
the stream has yielded trout eggs by
the millions but hatchery men this
year could gather only a. fraction of
the normal amount.
The fact is granted that Mr.. Peli-
cans home life is above reproach.
He is a good provider, a good hus-
band and father and is strictly mono
gamous. For the 400 birds in the
lake flock there are just 200 nests;
one for each couple and one mate
for each bird. There are no triangles
in the Yellowstone 400"
If further Investigations justify it,
Professor Ward will ask the federal
government to bar the pelicans as
summer visitors from the park.

FORTUNE IN STORE?
Story of Millions Awaiting S. c. Heirs
Heard.

A great fortune in Texas awaiting
heirs in South Carolina!
One hundred and fifty million dol
lars worth Of property left six years
ago when Thomas G. Browning, for
merly of Greenville county, died and
his heirs, SO of them, and mostly in
the upper section of South Carolina,
Just now found!
Such is the alluring story waited
to Greenville yesterday from Green's
boro, North Carolina, where one j. H.
Browning, of the White Oak Mill vii
lage, made a great many interesting
statements to a Greensboro newspa-
per man, who promptly communicat-
ed them to the newspapers in South
Carolina.
The only difficulty about the story
is that patent Investigation OF papers
in Greenville, Anderson and Colum-
bia last night failed to bring to light
any of the alleged heirs who knew
anything definite about the late
Thomas G.. Browning.
According to the Greensboro story
Mrs. Margaret Jordan, Of Anderson,
a sister Of J. H. Browning, "is one
of the biggest heirs" of this estate OF
a hundred and fifty million dollars.
A thorough search of Anderson las1
night by newspaper men Of that city
failed to locate this Mrs. Jordan, al
though report was received that a
woman bearing that name had form
erlv lived in the Anderson cotton mill
village, but moved away and was
supposed to be in the vicinity OF
