THE FINGER NAILS

WYE FIND sometimes In the hand
w Of a woman short nails COM
bined with the following charac-
teristics:
The line Of the heart (the upper Of
the two lines crossing the palm hori-
zontally) is short, and the head line
underneath 1t is straight and inclined
to turn up toward the finger Of Mer-
curry, the little finger. The mount of
Mercury is fat and covered with lines,
and the mounts Of the moon and Of
Mars lat the outside of the edge Of
the palm) are high. The joints Of the
hand are very plainly visible.
These are the marks Of a woman
Of harsh disposition and quarrelsome
nature, and they are made more strong
by the shortness Of the nails. For a
confirmation Of this sign of quarrel
someness. consult the triangle formed
by the line Of life. the line of the head
and the line Of health. II there Is a
decided cross to be perceived In this
triangle. we may say with fairly good
assurance that the disposition Of the
possessor Is pugnacious and quarrel
some.

Something TO Think About

Blu F. A. UALkER

ask yourself why that the truth
comes with overwhelming force.
Self-dependence will not endure
logical scrutiny.
1t cannot stand the simple test of
common sense.
From birth till death, men and
women of every degree are dependent
on one another, forced by a natural
law to rely on one another for support
and favor.
Everything worth having comes
from others.
Love, cOmpaniOnship, power and
fame are the priceless gifts bestowed
upon you by the kindly hearts and
generous hands of those who are travel
ing beside you through life's sunshine
and shadows.
And you. whether aware of 1t or
not, are giving something of which
YOU are possessed to weld link in
this endless chain of dependence, be-
ing constantly beaten into new form
and character on the anvil of Time.
Those who should understand each
other with a fulness impossible other
wise, should make daily notes of their
| inability to help or provide them
selves without outside assistance.
These notes may pain sharply as
they are set down in long rows, but II
they are studied in the right spirit,
they will soon sweeten the bitterness
in the soul and allay the rancor.
Indeed. if this should be done regu-
larly, with goodwill towards all man.
kind, the world will soon become a
better place to live in, the needless
animosities between man and nations
would cease, and all hearts would
beat happily in spiritual harmony.

Uncommon Sense
By JOHN BLAKE
BASED ON EXPERIENCE

TT is decision or the lack Of 1t that
makes the difference between first
class and second class men.
No man is fit to command an army
or even company of infantry unless
he has decision.
Hesitation In time of war is fatal.
Ii is dangerous and destructive in
times Of peace.
No man can always make up his
mind quickly and be sure he is right
every time.
But the man who does this oftenest,
is the man who gets furthest In the
world.
/ All important leaders Of action or
1hought are men of decision.
This is particularly true of execu-
dives, who have many men under them.
To such men hesitation means lost
aime-hundreds of hours Of it. and
Is not to be tolerated.
But be very careful, in cultivating
decision, to base 1t on experience.
II will be anything but an advantage
to be able to make up your mind
quickly IL you make 1t up wrong every
time.
Neither you nor would be able to
decide instantly between two reports
of engineers as to the best course
to run railroad.
A railroad president or general
manager who was worth his salt could
decide very shortly.
He could do so because years Of ex-
perience would have taught him how to
weigh the question, and to decide for
the combination that meant the easiest
grades and the most traffic.
But we can, or at least ought to, be
able to decide our own problems with
out much waste of time.
We ought not to hesitate more than
half an hour over the choice of q suit
Of clothes, or more than ten seconds
over the choice of a necktie.
Yet even to make trivial choices
such as these, requires a knowledge OF
ourselves. which is not lightly &C.

DEPENDENT ON OTHERS

ey7O PEOPLE who harbor the
foolish idea that they are not

FRENCH PEASANTS WANT HOMES

Madison, Wis. - Homes to live in,
not money PREPARATIONS, is what the pea
SAINTS of the devastated areas of France
want, according to Jean Longuet, Soci-
alist, editor of the Paris LIE Populaire.
Mr.. Longuet addressed students of
economics here at the University of
Wisconsin on the history of the Socia-
list and trade union movements in
France, and spoke to the public on the
French press.
Union labor, the Socialist parties.
and the co-operatives Of France, Bel
GUM, England and Germany have
agreed that t hey want reparations
made by the application of German
materials and German skilled labor to
the rebuilding of northern and eastern
France.
The profiteers assert that the villag-
ers of'the war-stricken areas would not
tolerate German laborers in their midst,
but eight out of nine villagers voted in
a referendum that they did not care
who built their homes, so they were
built, and that they were perfectly will
ing to have German Iaborers among
them.
Socialists, trade unionists, commun-
lists, and co-operators are unanimously
demanding disarmament, and in de-
nouncing the application of money re-
parations to the maintenance of ar
mics. The soldiers who really saw fight
ing are very bitter against war and
militarism, said Longuet.

EQUAL RIGHTS in WISCONSIN
(By The Federated Press)

Madison, Wis. - Wisconsin's equal
rights law removing legal discrimina-
tons against women was upheld by the
state supreme court, Dec. 5, in de-
cision holding that married women are
liable at law for documents signed
jointly with their husbands.
The decision removes, as far as Wis
consin is concerned, the old common
law principle that woman's legal
identity is merged with that of her hus-
band during her marriage. While the
case merely questioned the conflict Of
the woman's equal rights statute with
the common law, Justice Marvin B.
Rosenberg, who wrote the decision,
said that the statute is clearly with
in the legislative field, and not in con-
flict with the constitution"
National significance is given to the
decision by virtue of the fact that the
National Woman party is proposing
a federal amendment similar to the
Wisconsin statute.

following Instructions from the. Hard

trouble, in the opinion of Sen. 7. H.
Caraway, Arkansas.
"Our whole policy toward Mexico is
admirably calculated to promote revo-
lutions in that country" Caraway said.
by refusing to recognize the Obregon
administration, we hold out an invita-
ton to revolt to any person or group
in that country who thinks he or it
can seize power by the use of force.
1T used to be practice of Repub-
Ilicans to taunt the Wilson administra-
ton for its 'watchful waiting attitude
toward Mexico. Yet the policy of this
administration, seems to be one not only
of useless waiting but of mischievous
interference in the affairs of Mexico.
The activities of Bushnell cannot be
excused.
"For several years, the Mexican peo-

appears entirely satisfactory to them
selves, and which does not conflict
with the legitimate interests of the I'm

(By The Federated Presso

New York. United States sup
RENE court is to pass upon a question
which involves the constitutlonaIlty Of
the criminal anarchy and criminal syn
dicaIism laws of 80 states. The issue
will come before the supreme tribunal
in the form of an appeal on writ OF
error from the conviction in New York
Of BENJAMIN Gitlow, former Socialist
assemblyman, who served three years
of a l0-year sentence for the publica-
ton in 1919 of the left wing manifesto,
advocating dictatorship Of the pro-
letariat.
The writ, granted on application Of
Walter Nelles. New York attorney,
brings up for review by the supreme
court the action of the New York
courts sustaining Gitlow's conviction.
Ii cites the 18th amendment to the con-
stitution, which says:
''No state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities Of citizens of the United
States
If Nelles' contention is upheld, it un-
doubtedly will mean the wiping out
Of the entire criminal anarchy statute
Of New York as unconstitutional; and
as this statute is the one on which the
criminal syndicalism laws of 30 states
are based, if it is held unconstitutional
it is expected that a movement will be-
gin at once to strike out these laws.
