RussIA AT GENOA.

The Genoa conference hasn't opened sni it isn't known how many countries will send representatives to it. In fact the decision. of this country has not as yet Leen definitely disclosed, and yet We are learning that the soviet govern ment Of Russia is looking forward to the accnrnrlishment of great things in it's half at that gathering.
 Soviet Russia hasn't been getting so much attention as it seems to think it will get at that session for a long time in view Of the fact that European finan- ciai matters are to be under discussion Russia realizes flat it will be asked to show It's hand in relation to it's inteh- tons about the loans which the different nations have made to Russia at various times and whether they can expect to have them paid. The answer may well be anticipated in view of the inability of the country to look after it's starving, but it is well not to give the impression that such matters have been forgotten.
 As if in anticipation of just such point bank queries it is now reported that the bolsheviki are planning to present to the various European governments and the United States claims aggregating something like 50 billion dollars for damages which have resulted from anti bolshevlk, activities. Possibly there are many other things of a similar nature that soviet Russia would like to ask of the delegates to the Genoa conference If so they should group them all togeth- CT in order that time might be conserved and the effect of the inevitable answei
 might be the more impressive as it i! | quickly and sharply presented.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
Rising Writing
By Digby Phillips. Copyrighted 1521


 Are you hunting for an optimist, for a person who refuses to be discourag- ed, for the kind of person who if he does not at first succeed tries, tries again?"
 The sign of this mental character istic lies in handwriting. If the written lines slant upward to the right you have found the man or woman you are hunting for.
 The people whose writing rises in this manner are of naturally cheerful and hopeful disposition. They look up- on the bright side of life. They eoncen- trate upon pleasant memories and for get the unpleasant They keep their thoughts fixed upon the chances of success,not upon the fear of failure
 This does not necessarily mean that they are such innocent, hopeful op- timists that they discount the chances of failure too much, that they lack common sense or judgment. Their op- timism is the result of ambition and l determination. There is a constant, ir- resistible urge in these people to keeI on trying to do better. They are never quite satisfied with any piece of worl they have done. They always feel tha given the opportunity to do it ovel again they would do it better and the! | welcome the opportunity to prove thi i to themselves as well as to others. It is only when the upward slant 0 the writing is very marked and unusu al that you want to watch out fo such an excess of optimism and am bition as makes person impractica visionary and extravagant in his am 1 bitions.

HELPING TIE FARMERS

From the statement which has been made by President Harding to the az riculfural conference there is no ques- ton where he stands upon the matter of giving attention. to the interests of the farmers He lets t be known that be Is not ln sympathy with the farm group In congress. which seems to be disposed to devote its entire attention to class activities. This -s not the first time thar congress has been asked or been obliged Co deal with questions concern Ing tte farmers of the country. There is now no more disposition to dodge them than there ever was. In the past tle needs of the farmers. quite the same as the needs of others have been given hearing and attention without the presence Of a group of congressman who take the position that they must have wha; they want or they will prevent any other business being done.
 Pres. cent Harding doesn't approve the method that has been adopted by the farm group. He IS heartily in favor ot relief for the farmers but it ought tC c1me in the regular manner without hal Ing a group of the members com
 r-ed to one thing endeavoring tc
 ain that political control over va -as relaires. which deserve to bt beam and acted upon on their meriu quite thc same as does the relief for thi farmers. Co whom the country of cours' look for producing our/ crops.
 Eut when the president voices his dis a-nroval of the methods Of the farm .rroun it does not mean that he is asains The measures which they advocate fo The relief of the farmers. Opposition t' m-thois and opposition to measures arr entirely different Efforts to get tho sc1a-e deal for the farm5r neSer had . stronger champion than the president hnt he believes that it is for the bes Interests of the country and the farmer Themselves that it should be done in th regular manner rather than for eer ain group to endesvor to exercise rtraarie hold upon congress. The coun r-y would be helped during this perio st adjustment by the aiding of the far ners and there is no question but wha lusrihed action will be taken.

"A Rome of the tropics, peopled by the Israelites of Africa, center of farming region which supports pop ulation as dense as that of England and exports surplus of foodstuffs-such. is Katsena, in northern Nigeria which recently has been frequently mention ed because it's emir visited London and also because of surveys Of Lake Chad, northeastern limit of the Haul sa states" says a bulleting from the Washington D.

 "A civilization may be incongruous in contrast to another, and yet not so primitive as the strangeness of it's customs would indicate" the bulletin continues. "The ,Ennir of Katsena is re- ported to have gazed in amazelnent at an airpiane, to have wondered at the parsimony of a rich nation which did not provide servants to wave large fans over their rulers head so he migh not be annoyed by flies, and to have so heartily approved one northern luxury that he purchased a brass bed to be

l was Late in the summer of 1903 that the New York police discovered the body of man, evidently an Italian, concealed gin a barrel on the East Side Evtry mark that could possibly supply clue to his identification had been removed-evea the labels had been clpoed from his clothes and the manner in which his face had been mutilated rendered him totally un- recognizable.
 But, just as the case was about to be en- tered upon the book of New York's un- solved mysteries, it was cleared up through a coincidence so startling that no writer of detective fiction would have dared make use of 1t.
 On the night of the murder, William J. Flynn, then chief of the Eastern divi- sion of the United Secret serv1oe, with head dquarters n New York was working on one of the numerous counterfeiting cases which occur so frequently in the Italian section of the metropolis.
 Flynn himself elected to trail a pair of Italians whom he had reason to believe were working for or with the counter feiters The trail led to an Italian groc- cry where, from the shadow of doorway across the street the government detec- tive could see into a lighted room in the suspected house. A few moments later a covered wagon drew up in front of the house, man got out, entered the grocery and made hds way into the very room that Flynn was watching. The light from the lamp fell directly upon his face, and the secret service operative reladzed that this must be new addition to the gang, for he was certainly no one that he had seen be | fore Then the curtains to the window were drawn, and Flynn abandoned his chase for the time being.
 The next morning the murdered man was discovered, nearly half mile iron the place where Flynn had hidden himself the night before, It was several days latel that the operative read the official accoune of the crime and noted that he body hat been found in a sugar barrel parly ti1et with blood-stained sawdust The dat of the murder coupled with the use Of { sugar barrel, recalled to the operative mnid the fact that he had been watching an Italian grocery at or about the tim that the foreigner had been killed. Merel, to satisfy himself that there was no con nection between the counterfeiters and tn murdered man, Flynn went to the moreu
 and esamined the body. The peculia shape of the forehead, the manner in whicl
 the hair splayed out above the prominen
 ears and the blood-stained green ha
 which had been found in the barrel, to

LIQUOR AND AUTO DRIVERS.

While Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoecbel of Connecteeut has been call ing attention to the fact that while there has been a decrease in the number of automobile fatalities involving children but an increase of 221 per cent. In ths instances where driving under the in- fuence of liquor. was concerned, there is statement from the registrar of mo tor vehicles In Massachusetts showing 1412 revocation of licenses last year to $50 IF 1920 for operating automobiles while intoxicated. Thus while the per ceutage of increase is different, Massa- chusetts showing a gain of but 62 per cent. 1t indicates either that the neigh boring state has auto drivers who have not been indulging so freely in the stuff that muddles or else they have been more successful in getting away with it.
 That there is an increase in the use O. intoxicants by auto drivers Is the re- port that comes from many states, and 1t is the interesting statement by Reg .strar Goodwin of Massachusetts that it is rot because of the fact that more li- quor IS being drunk by drivers but be- cause Of the quality of the stuff. Once it was possible to drink and drink and drink and get by without attracting at | tertion or becoming involved in an ac- cident. but today one drink is often enough to upset the whole order Of things and make what might otherwise be clear road assume the appearance | Of tcing filled with all kinds of obsta- cles which the driver feels obliged tc try 10 avoid.
 WLether it is the quality or the quan | titv of liquor, it is plainly evident how | ever that the only safe thing for thos' who dr.ve automobiles is to leave i strictly alone. That is necessary fol
 his own protection as well as that o
 others with him or who may be in hi path. Likewise if the one drink of hom
 c5ncccfion is having such an effect ther ! Is more reason why the authoritie should exercise increased vigilance anf take no chances with drivers who hav
 been drinking getting to their destina
 tion. The poorer the quality of tn drinks the greater the danger to tn public and the greater the need for in creased public protection. Of course i
 couldn't do to expect them to sto

II is impossible in this day and gen eratou 60 overlook the hopors that are 5usrly due to the man who made the automobile Of the present time possible. Attention Is directed 10 thIs by the death of Geu-gs ?. sei5e1 at Rochester. \. T.. who Is referred to with justification as the father Of the automobile. l. was back in 1875 that 1Ir Selden produced an engine that cozid be operated wi-t gas other than the steam from water. The internal combustion engine todav differs from what he produced but his patents were recognized and from the Ideas that he cemors-rated there has been developed the engine Of today.
 Like many another the name of sal- den in this connection promises to be- come more prominently Identified with -he automobile industry in the years D come than possibly E. has .n the past several decades. That his name should occupy a niche among the great inven- tors seems to be fully established, and while highway travel has been rsvoll- tonized hy his gift Co the world there IS no telling how far reaching it will be as time goes on.
 It Is 70 be realized that the gasoline engine Is not the only one by which au- fomohres are propelled. There are the steamers and the electrics. but the mum Der of both of these types is small. The gasoline engine has developed an indus Try which Is Of constantly increasing Importance There are machines of al sizes and types.

THE DOUBLE CRIME
A True Detective story-copyrIghted.

It was the stranger whom Flynn had seen entering the store which he had been watching
 Feeling certain that here was a sign which pointed toward the operations o1 the gang which he was after, Flynn had
 the body photographed fro ma number of
 angles while experts in physiogonlmy re- constructed the features to something ap-
 proaching life like appearance Then,
 armed with these post-mortem pictures
 Flynn to trip to OsSining to ste if any of the members of the Italian co1ony>sin Sing Sing could identify the dead man. The idea proaved to be good one, for a convict whom Flynn knew-an Italian serving time for another counterfeiting . case-identified the photographs as be ing those of his brother -in-law Maurena Benedetta whom he described as being a peaceful hard-worfSing citizen who had never been implicated in any the crimes of the Italian settlement
 Working backward from this clue, Flynn 1 and the other secret service operatives trailed the Italians whom the chief had seen in the grocery stor on the night of the murder, and 1t was not long before they had made complete roundup of the gang. As was to be expected in crime I of this nature, alfbis were plentiful, but as was usual, these were none too well 1 supported by fact and 1t was a compar- ativefy simple matter for the police to get at the bottom of the case, once the iden- | tity of the victim had been established. 1 A judicious application of the third l degree brought to light the fact that 1 Bendetto had been killed because he had gotten wind of the counterfeiting Hot i and because he was the brother-in-law o1 l the man who late ridentified the bo4y-a
 man who had incurred the undying ergnity of his conlpatriots by turning states ey1-
 dence. The infexible laws of the society to which they both belonged-one of the i societies which rules Little Italy with 2 rule of iron and a hand of blood-demand 1 ed the sacrifice of the next of kin in the
 event of information being given to tn, police.
 1 But if Flynn had not happened to bt
 watching the grocery store the night O 1 the murder, the chances are that tn crime would still be unsolved. The lead
 CT of the murder gang was found be b
 Ignazio' Lupo, one of the very men Flynn was after, but the government allowe the ocunterfeiting charge to hang fire un til the expiration of Dupo's term for man slaughter, Another Lupo brother of Ig nazio, escaped at the time, and was no icaptured until ten years later, althoue.

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
TOYS AND PLAY-MATER1ALs.
By Ellen Creeima-

The child instinclvely attempts to de- velop his mind through contact with his environment. He wishes to gain knowl- edge of it, to come into sympathetic re- lation with it, and to fulfill part of it.
 Toys and play-materials offer him one means of expression. The childs inn agination is very keen, consequently his toys should be wisely selectai. They should be simple and very durable There should be dolls, doll furniture, balls, carts, boats wagons and other toys which may be useful to him.
 "The too finished toy chills the i'm agination,' and the child frequently is seen to find more enjoyment with a crude toy of his own construction. The little girl will turn from an elaborately | dressed doll to lavish caresses on a rag doll. One child turned from a large number of valuable Christmas presents to play with his fathers bootjack. A lit tie girl given a beautiful doll by her uncle laid it down and spent the re- mainder of the day using the box ir which it came for boat. Later she thanked her uncle for the beautiful boa, he had sent to her.
 | When the child can use play-materi- als, he should be given blocks, boards DeduSt Nidp, pdpSEs SClSSOIS dHu cTdyOIs
 also miscellaneous articles from whicl
 he may choose.
 When the child may safely be lei
 alone in the nursery or out of doors
 he should be free from the continuous
 uresence of an adult. He realizes great
 CT satisfaction if thrown upon his owl resources. The child's power of concen
 tration is weak and many parents, in stead of sitting quietly by, direct tn child by continuous remarks about wha
 he is doing. Parents and others may ex press sympathetic interest when the clil appeals to them, may play with him : but no for him. Self-effort is the lay of progress. The child's ideas are vag1'' l his facility of expression crude, but

 Possibly this decision of the court will have the effect of ending s lot of the delay and the red tape which too of ten surrounds cases of such character. There Is no question but what such a character branded as undesirable and anxious to remain here for such trouble as he might cause, would do all that is possible to handicap the government in its action. It Is not to be supposed that the court is desirous of aiding such peo- pie in establishing obstacles for the gov ernment to overcome, but when 1t holds that there should be speedy action taken one way or the other within definite time 1t Is a move that should serve to clear up a lot of the delay and possible injustice.
 If individuals are undesirables and have committed acts which establish that fact they are subject to punish ment, which punishment might, as has i been done in a number of instances, be imposed until such obstacles as prevent immediate deportation can be removed.
