Read Your Character
n. nf-S.. ma fs1.-


Hooked Terminals
BY the terminal" referred to we
mean the ending of the stroke a. the
pen or pencil Is lifted from the paper
in writing, and tho hook is caused by
the tendency Of the hand to draw tho
pen back from the end Of the horizontal
stroke just as It is lifted from the paper.
Particularly when the terminal stroke
slants bit downward, this character.
istic in handwriting denotes nature
which is more than usually obstinate
and opinionated.
People who write this way, you'll
find, are rather hard to deal with. They
are very much inclined to prejudge you
and others. They form their conclusions
too rapidly, from insufficient evidence,
and are inclined to confirm these judg.
ments BY their own desires.
And once they have formed their
opinions they are hard to move. They
don't like to admit they are wrong,
and this in many instances makes them
downright perverse and insistent upon
their own views.
These people always have their own
ideas about doing things, whether the
subject under consideration Is one in
which they have had much experience or
not. And in positions Of authority over
others they often have a disorganizing
influence, depending largely, of course,
upon the type Of their subordinates.
The fainter the hooks, Of course, and
the less marked the downward slant Of
the final stroke, the less marked you
find this mental characteristic to be.

cSsier to pay than the rent OF bugs,
beetles and worms that had been de.
manded unjustly by rascal Blue Jay.
Jack and Janet found great delight
in watching the birds and hearing them
II am glad Blue Jay didn't drive the
bird; away" said Jack.
Just then a fash Of blue shot across
the clearing. A bird alighted on the
branch Of a tree-a bird with a jaunty
crest:
"Jay! jay! Jay!' screamed the
Jack and Janet were surprised.
There Is rascal Blue Jay back
again." cried Janet. "Now he will
stop the birds from building their
nests"
Jack looked closer at the Jay.
"That isn't the rascal Blue Jay who
is in JAIL" he said. ut is a prettier
Blue Jay and looks less tricky"
Indeed. the strange Blue Jay ap-
peared sad instead Of tricky.
"Sir: :roo.tle! Sit: :roo-tle" cried the
jay. kind birds have you seen my

Poor Mrs. Blue Jay was stunned by
the news. "oh! Oh! Oh! What will
Oh! Oh! We have just been married
Oh Oh Oh! I need him at home !"
"Chee! Chee! You'll not get him

That promise made Jack and Janet
change their minds about wanting to
keep Blue Jay IN jail. Perhaps he
already had learned his lesson--that it
didn't pay to be bad. Maybe it would
be better to free him SO he could re-
turn to his sorrowing bride, and build
a home, and rear family. Freedom
might make an Honest bird of him.

to be completed by 31st December.
The inspection to take place sometime
early in January. Last year the inspec-

1t must be admitted that much has
been conceded the R~oad-holders. and
much grace given: but it is also evident
that the work of repairs is in many
cases, absolutely neglected. Some have
done their duty, others seem to shirk it.
For the benefit of those who may
never have read the Road Ordinance, and
for those who have read and FORGOTTEN,
the following paragraphs are quoted:
s "a.
Any holder of a road allotment, who is
found, at the annual inspection in the
month of January, to have omitted to
complete the road-work incumbent on
him, or to have performed it in an unsat-

exceeding $50.
Any holder of a road allotment who
fails to comply with an order from the

person who is dying for "lack of a
little soap" I shall consider myself
well repaid for having devoted this
space to the cause.
The suggestion of Dr. Wise that the
name "Jewish Assembly" be substi-
tuted for american Jewish Con-
gress" if adopted will at least re-
move what I have always believed to
be serious objection. We of course
have many varied Congresses" in
this country, but not in the sense in
which the term american Jewish
Congress" has been used.
No better cause could be furthered
by financial aid than the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary of New York. A
campaign is now under way to raise
one hundred thousand dollars annual
ly for the proper maintenance of this
very much needed institution. I be-
lieve that the so called Conservative
congregation will be for a prolonged
period the proper congregation in
American Israel. The breaking away
from Orthodoxy by the thousands into
Reform ranks has been too violent a
movement and look within the next
year or two for a swing back part of
the way at least to Conservative con-
gregational grouping. For this rea-
son the Seminary will be one of the
most important educational agencies
in American Jewry and will need the
utmost support and encouragement.

The occasion when Rabbi Stephen
Wise attacked Judge Gary and Gary
ism seven members resigned from the
Free Synagogue and the Rabbi said
he would resign if the Congregation
didn't like his sentiments; he could
change congregations but he couldn't
change his opinions or rather his con-
victions. Now the militant Rabbi
threatens once more to put his con-
gregation to the test for I observe
with interest that he has accepted the
challenge of the Coal Operators to
Virginia and speaking for those in
terested in the miners side of the
controversy he said, Long before it
(the investigation) is completed, the
operators will be sorry they extended
the invitation to u.s." DR.. Wise has
courage and furthermore he isn't one
of those cautious gentlemen who is
given overmuch to weasel words"
Now that the fifty-sixth annual con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Long Island has passed
a resolution that a committee be ap-
pointed to inform the Board of Edu-
cation of New York that Henry VIII
did not start the Church of England
and to request that the teachers of
said schools be so instructed to teach
their classes. l presume that now it
will be strictly in order for the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations to
notify the school authorities of the
United States that Shylock does not
in any way represent the Jew and
that the teachers should be requested
to so instruct their classes.
Ludwig Lewisohn's life-story in this
country entitled Cup Stream" has
commanded the earnest consideration
of critics everywhere in the country
But it is peculiar that most of them
were away from the very point that
Lewisohn tries to emphasize in his
book that in University circles
throughout the land he was handi-
capped because he is Jew. read one
critic who seemed to believe that
Lewisohn was Disseminated against
because he was a German, and that
his German disposition possibly
worked to handicap him. It is inter-
esting to know that Lewisohn who
was never more of Jew than the

couldn't make much progress any
where else. / can't say that l admire
this trait Even as a reviewer in the
Jewish Tribune" says that Prof.
Einstein was kept to Jewry because
of anti-Semitism; and I can't say that
Einstein rises any higher in my esti-
nation Jewishly speaking because of
that circumstance. Read Lewisohn's
book: it is well worth while Box,
the Dane seems to have made better
progress up stream than Lewisohn,
the German Jew.
