Read Your Character
BY Digby Phillips
Selecting the Charitable

In these days of high living costs and
intense struggle for the Survival Of the
fittest." it Is not always easy to find
out whether a person is charitably in.
clined or not
A person may not be in position to
do all the charitable things he or she
would like to do. Again. ideas as to
what constitutes the greatest charity
are bound to differ.
But the tendency toward charity is
natural thing, no matter what form
of expression it may take, nor how 1t
may be repressed. And there are signs
by which you can detect its presence
in the makeup of any person. You
can tell it by the shape of the head,
and by certain indications of hand.
writing.
II the forehead and the forepart
of the head are unusually high you can
make up your mind that the possessor
Of that head Is not only chnritably in
clined, but is a good judge of human
nature, and is sympathetic in under
standing.
If the same person writes an extreme
Spencerian hand, that is. slants the
letters forward, and ends his words
with little terminal upstrokes. these are
both indications that he. or she, Is
very prone to act upon those sympa-
thetic impulses. and to act quickly and
readily. In fact. the action may often
be foolish. but it will be sincere and
without ulterior motive.

Through a
Woman,s Eyes
When Sno,v and Ice Come Into
Summer Lives
BY JEAN NEWTON

Students Of history know that the
glacial age. which was one Of the
hardest and cruelest of all the periods
which the world in its development
has undergone. and which threatened
to destroy the human race, turned ou:
to be it's greatest benefactor. The great.
est hardship that man was ever called
upon to bear has been revealed as his
greatest teacher. For it compelled him
to use. and So developed. his brain.
II the glacial age had not come to
uproot our early ancestors from their
warm. easy, untrying animal existence,
the human race might now be either
extinct or living in the state In which
the glacial age found us:
we would perhaps still be wild crea.
lures, uttering unintelligible sounds,
disputing the earth with the animals.
fighting them for their rude shelter and
battling with them for bit OF food
and trying to circumvent animals with
hans have lost the earth to them.
But with the glacial period came the
need, II man would survive. of human
ingenuity. When the snow and Ice
came pouring down from the North.
the plants died and the animals ned
in search Of southern sun. Man hoisted
his young upon his back and tried to
follow. but he could not travel az fast
as the wilder creatures and 40 was
forced into resourcefulness as the one
alternative to destruction.
Being unable to run away from the
cold. man was forced to use his brain
to fight it-with clothes and fire, sub.
stantial shelter and food supply. And
through necessity his brain developed.
So what appeared to be a great
catastrophe to the human race was
really the best thing that could have
happened to it.
And it Is so with great many of
the hardships and disappointments of
life. What seems to be setback may
prove to be kindly act Of Providence.
In fact. it is known that many a great
man attributes his success to an Rp-
parent calamity. the loss of his job be-
ing the event which catapulted more
than one of them into the field where
they became famous.
A girl know has known her great.
est happiness since her father lost his
money and she was forced out to earn
her living. What appeared to be great
misfortune proved to be the medium for
making life more interesting, since It
brought her n career and. incidentally
her husband.
So disappointment and failure may
be blessing in disguise. and hardship
and struggle, like the advent of snow
and ice into the summer lives of the
first men. bring compensation in hard.

Can You Tell?
By r. J. and A. ". Bodmer
How Ocean Cab:es are Made

On the bottom of the ocean the cable
rests quietly and is not moved by
storms which generate waves on the
surface Of the water. As the cable
approaches shore the movement of the
water goes deeper. the waves reach
more nearly to the bottom and the
cable is made thicker TO prevent It
from becoming worn. When the cable
passes over rocky bottom it is made
still larger and is heavily armored, The
cable is made in accordance with the
kind Of bottom on which 1t is intended
to rest. Anything which causes the
cable to move will cause it to wear and
the cable lying on the rocky bottom is,
therefore. thiCkest.
A cable laid across the ocean will
have four or five thicknesses At the
shore end 1t has next to the greatest
thickness and is called heavy shore
end" because it must lie for n dis
tance in shallow water. As the water
becomes deeper the cable can be made
thinner. The second section from the
shore would be called heavy inter.
mediate In deep sea. the thnnest
cable is used and this is called deep
sea cable
A submarine telegraph cable usually
consists of core. In tn" center Of
which are strands of copper wire which
vary in weight from seventy to four
hundred pounds to the mile, Strands
wire are used, because the former Is
more flexible. This Is covered with
several coatings Of rubber, of weight
equal to the wires. Over this Is n coat :
ing of jute. n layer Of galvanized iron
wires and finally layer of yarn and
compound to form the outer covering
Where the cable Is to lie among rocks
1t is armored by wrapping it with
chains.

TWO girls of seventeen and eighteen
i write for advice on their "situa:. !.
tion."
And the situation Is this: They are
chums, such chums that they always
60 every where together. do not belong
to any crowd and have no other per.
sonal friends.
Whenever either Of them is asked BY
boy whether he may come to call of
take her out somewhere she always re.
fuses because she knows the other gifi
will have to be excluded.
They explain: I'VE just feel that 1t
Is out of the question to accept an oner
where the other is not concerned.
Somehow or other We have the idea that
II would hurt each Others feelings. be-
sides being unkind."
Yet they know that they must stop
this some time or else they will become
known as bachelor girls
TH1s is carrying friendship and
L loyalty too far.
1t Is unusual and very sweet to see
two girls who consider each other be.
fore themselves, especially In such
matters as parties and beaux.
But it isn't a good thing for them
to 20 to such extremes a. this.
II isn't healthful for their minds to
be always together and never with any
one else.
They cannot broaden out, they get
no point Of view except that Of each
other, and that will begin to grow
similar before long.
And then this matter Of refusing
separate invitations for fear Of hurting
the other girl. although It shows un-
selfish consideration, does not prove any
great confidence.
A really faithful friend will not be
hurt or--horrid word-,-jealous, II the
other girl Is invited out.
IF THEY lived together 1t would be
i different: then this cling. together
plan would be more admirable. for girls
often do break up a comfortable home

GENERAL FRIES PREDICTS
WIDER USE OF WAR GAS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April T.
Gas warfare is more humane than
fighting with explosive weapons and
fewer permanent casualties result
from chemical wounds than from
shot and shell. according to the
opinion expressed today by Brig.
Gen. Amos A. Fries, head OF the
chemical warfare service OF the
United States army, who is here
attending sessions of the American
Chemical Society.
General Fries predicted that the
use of gas would become more
general and that tear gas would
eventually be placed in all bank
vaults and every police depart
ment would have gas brigade for
use in the capture of criminals.
The use of submarine and gas
warfare Is not seriously interfered
with by the Washington arms con.
ference treaties, he declared.
