READ YOUR CHARACTER
By Disby Phillips.
Copyrighted 1921
Plain Capitals

In the practice of reading character
opposing indications are not always
representative of opposite characteris-
tics, but here is case in which they
are.
In a previous article it was shown
that the person who makes his( or herr
capital letters of undue size and makes
them rather fancy is pretty sure to be
egotistical and self satisfied in some
one particular thing, If not in all
things.
The small capital letter. plainly
made, indicates the reverse. 1t is one
of those unconscious evidences which
are the result of the persons funda-
mental character working out.
Such capitals you will find, nearly
always indicate a large degree of in
nate refinement, modesty and simple
ity, and while they should by no means
be considered a mark of genius, yet II
/ is true that many men of genius dc
write this way. 1t is simply because the
man who is really big is usually above
petty vanities.
BY plain capitals we mean princi-
pally those capital letters which are
made just alike, or almost like the
small letters, differing from the prin-
cipally in size, or those which are sim
pie limitations of printed letters. The
larger these are made, however, tn,
less strong the Indication.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
EXCHANGES

The honor of Ireland is deeply in
volved in the steps which she takes now
to observe and carry out the terms of
the treaty. On the British side troops
have been withdrawn, the machinery of
government handed over, prisoners in
Ireland released and, now we learn that
pre-truce prisoners in this country also
are being set at liberty. At every point
the British government has based its
policy upon the trustworthiness of the
Irish representatives. and their power
and will to deliver the goods. If their
power should prove less than their will.

have arisen.

GOOD RADIANCE.

The report to the effect that a group
of the wooden vessels which were con
structed on the Pacific coast for war
service have been sold by the emergen-
cy fleet corporation fer about $500
apiece doesn't mean that they are act
ually being given away but nearly so.
Yet it is no more than was expected and
possibly the amount received is moro
than was really expected by the gov
eminent agent. The vessels are with
out engines and equipment and it seems
probable that they will be altered into
barges which would confirm the opln-
lon so often expressed that they Were
not fit TO rthe service for which they
were built and intended.
Even though the sum to be received
will be but a mere pittance comparet
with what they cost 1t is well that they
are to be put to some use. The gov
ernment has been under an expense il

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Health Office and Modern Methods.
Mr. Editor: AS there is no difficulty
between me and Elizabeth NJ. Culver,
there seems to be no reason why We
should cumber your space with a dis
cussion about theories of sanitation, SO
l only want to remind her that We are
confronted with condition, not the
CRY.
Neither is this time to be searching
the shelves of libraries for arguments
to bolster this or that theory. The
true student of nature today, as in the
past finds books in the running
brooks, sermons in stones" and in Nor
wich, typhoid and malaria in blind
drains. We do not, we ought not, to
wait until these have struck the human
victim before diagnosing and discover
! ing them. and also arresting them on
their mad and fatal career. Instead OF
| the little book, read Mrs. Norton's let
| ter Of Feb. 26, about insanitary con-
| ditions and the false sense of security
| that the health office gives US, and the
| inspection which does not inspect.
This is up to date information and per
sonal experience, and needs no book
