REFUNDING OF FOREIGN DEBT

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Definite progress in the negotiations look ing towards the refunding of the foreign debt contracted by the allied nations from the United States, dur ing the late war, may be expected as soon as the Genoa conference is terminated.

The presence of most of the financial experts at Genoa, engaged in the problems affecting the re- construction of Europe, has pre- vented any speedy action on the re- funding program. Administration of ficials today declared that as soon as the experts are released from their duties at Genoa, action would be taken on the debt.

OF Lorna Moon. the author. and Percy

riage relation are shown.
Miss Hawley and T. Roy Barnes
represent, ct the beginning, the bill
and-coo" state OF pre-marital bliss.
This is quickly succeeded by the
honeymoon state For contrast to
their sugary condition, Arthur Hoyt
and Lillian Langdon play long-mar-
ried couple. a union in which the hus-
band is entirely under the thumb of
his shrewish wife. with only enough
spirit left to squirm occasionally.
Then there is Willard Louis, cast
as a cagey bird who has been twice
shared in the marital net, only to es-
cape each time through the open door
of the divorce court Lastly, but far
from leastly, there is. 'Bear-ty' Johns,

MONEY IN THE HAND

NEXT to love and marriage, nothing
IN interests the human race, taken
as Il whole, so much rs the subject Of
the acquisition of wealth. One of the
most common questions asked OF a
palmist is this: Does my hand show
whether shall become rich or notg'
OF course, il must he understood
that palnistry does not claim to be
an exect science, foretc1ling the future
and reading the past and present with
absolute accuracy. We may examine
the hantls.-ef many men and women
who have Inherited or have acquired
wealth. and find therein, in all or
nearly all of them. certain signs. But
that does not mean infalIibly that the
same signs in other hands show the
acquisition or possession of wealth.
A deep line across the second
phalanx of the thumb means money
acquired by marriage. A star on the
same part of the thumb, in a womans
hand. means the same thing.
