THE HAND OF A SAILOR

THE hand Of a successful sailor
4 should be strong, short, firm and
broad. A characteristic sign is a we'll
developed mount Of Luna, lying on the
outside Of the palm near the wrist. It
denotes great love of the sea. II there
Is a star on this mount, it means dam
ger by water to which. naturally, every
sailor is exposed.
A line Of Mars, paralleling the line
of life, on the inside, shows endurance
and protection from great dangers.
The sailors hand contains. also, we'll
marked travel lines; that is, lines ex-
tending from the first bracelet and 60
ing upward to the mount of the moon,
or coming In at the wrist from the side
Of the hand. If travel line strongly
marked is terminated by a cross ap-
pearing on 1t, this is q sign that Q
Journey will end In misfortune.
The line Of life Of the sailor should
be well separated from the line Of the
head, since such separation signifies
plenty Of self-confldence.

BIG SALARIES IN PALESTINE
Discomfort Over High Pay to British
Officials In Impoverished
Land. o.

Jerusalem, Palestine.-The Palestine
budget for the coming fiscal year calls
for an expenditure Of nearly $11 ,OOO,-
600. Comment has been caused by the
high salaries paid to British officials
and the relatively small amount al
lOtted to education.
Two and one-half million dollars
goes for the maintenance Of prisons
and public security. This, however, is
not surprising in view Of the large
number Of Indian troops kept here.
whose presence is deemed necessary
because of the hatreds engendered by
the Balfour declaration.
Less than half a million dollars is
appropriated for education, and half
Of this sum goes to administrative ex-
pense. The country would be in bad
way indeed, from the standpoint Of
education, were it not for the excellent
schools maintained by the Christian
missions and the good work done by
the Zionist organization in looking af-
ter the education Of Jewish children.
The head of the department Of edu-
cation draws salary larger than that
Of the secretary to the President Of
the United States, and the salaries
of all the British officials are CORE
spondingly large. The British high
commissioner is paid $4,000 year
and has in addition an expense allow
ance Of $500 annually.
These high salaries have created dis
content among the people. In Judging
the situation it should be remembered
that Palestine is poor country, with
an area about equal to the state Of
Vermont. Until recently all the heads
Of governmental departments had their
own automobiles, maintained at great
expense by the government. But an
Arabic newspaper in Jerusalm made
such an cutlery against this practice
that it was speedily abolished.

the box coat is covered with pin tucks
running in diagonal lines. but the

WHAT shall I eat? I should say
w the diet of the waiting mother
In no way differs materially from
that to which she has been accus-
toned: provided, Of course. that it
has agreed with her. The popu-
lar superstition that the expectant
mother needs an unusual amount Of
food is not true. and overeating in
this condition may be dangerous.
The diet should be nourishing, but
not stimulating. Meat should be re-
stricted. as the accumulation of
waste products from large amounts
of meat may lead to serious compli-
cations. On this account also it lie
important that liquids should form
. large part Of the diet. Much of
this should be taken in the form OF
water-from two to even three
quarts a day are not too much fluid.
From four to eight glasses a day
when taken at regular intervals are
beneficial.

K. K. K. PURSUES
MOONLIGHT
LOVERS
Drives Auto 'Petting" Parties
From Trysting Nooks in
Arlington County.

Several score of "petting"
parties came to a sudden halt
shortly before midnight last night
when half hundred white-robed
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan;
riding in their trusty rattle-tat
Fords, sped through Arlington
county, Va, once again breaking
up Flowing" parties in secluded
spots.
Warned To Depart.
Those who didn't step on the &C.
celerator when the night -gowned
men put in appearance were greet.
ed by a committee which warned
them to get on their way and mot
return to Virginia again."
Members Of one 'petting" party
became indignant when the Kl'lx.
ers approached them,- and it was
only through the intervention of a
high official in the Khan that a
fight was averted.
Now please get out of this sec
ton as quickly as possible" he ad.
vised the party. 1--WE are not anxi
Gus to cause any trouble, but
am afraid it will come unless you
soon get away. It is against the
law to park here, and we are merely
seeing that the law is enforced.
The party then drove away.
Initiation Is Held.
The raids on the "petting' parties
began after the Khan held initiation
ceremonies earlier in the evening.
Fifty men were initiated into the
Arlington county branch and q
parade was held along Virginia
roads bordering the Potomac.
The Klansmen met at 8 O clock
on the upper Alexandria road. They
occupied seventy-five machines, anC
Of the $50 each bore a red light
The cavalcade touched Del Ray anC
Lloyd's, and the initiation cere-
monies were near North Braddock
Resuming the procession, the
knights passed close to the south
ern terminus of the Highw e
bridge. They broke up on the
road to Clarendon.

Amman, a fisherman, spied the
monster when he was within 300
yards from shore. Cutting half the
bottom Of the boat away in retaiia-

nored the crew it had sent found
ering into the water and rushed
around seeking more boats to scut-

was having difficulty in keeping his

Attempt to Interview Pur-

Seven canny Scotchrhen, In
vest1gating prohibition In the
United States, left Washington to-
day for Chicago, st. Louis and
points west in search Of a boot
logger.
The delegation found New York
very dry, in fact so arid that they
were unable to purchase a drink
with sufficient kick" to warrant a
belief liquor can be purchased
freely in Gotham. They have found
plenty Of dry and wet statistics,
but right now are eager to get the
inside facts of the illicit liquor traf-
TIC from the testimony of a working
bootlegger. None of the Washing
ton gentry volunteered to help out
the visitors and the mission in this
particular respect is thus far a
failure
They came here after interview
ing dry leaders in New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and
found out as much as they could
about prohibition in the National
Capital in conversations with Of
ficials of the AntiSaloon League.
But in all their American travels
they have been unable to get the
point of view of an actual dealer
in rum.
The information that they
gather in this country wiz be
used in connection with the local
option election in Scotland this
fall.

LIFE IN
!. CHEVY CHASE
ATTRACTS
Exclusive Section in Maryland
Has All Conveniences Of
City, However.

Reaching out continually to
take over added sections of wood
ed parklands, the home building
movement in the Maryland sec
ton of Chevy Chase is rapidly de-
veloping one of those fascinating
suburbs where rural and city life
interblending, in hundred ways,
produce that environment where
the, freshness and freedom of
country life may be enjoyed with
out any of the disadvantages in
cident to rural residence.
@ Homes Reasonable.
Incidentally it is to be noted that
the average investment made by
the home owner is well within the
means of any family able finan-
cially to meet what in these days
is accepted as moderate rental,
while the character of the homes
being erected is such to warrant the
expectation that they will outlast
several generations of occupants.
Probably one of the determining
factors in the development Of the
Maryland division Of Chevy Chase
has been the policy Of plotting
building lots along spacious lines.
There, the twenty-foot front is un-
known. No home site can be found
that does not include both back and
side yards.
Fortunately the land is such that
lawns are rapidly grown. The sod
in many sections reveals the char
acteristics common to the famed
terraces of old England. A few
years more and Chevy. Chase
throughout the Maryland section
will be noted for its luxuriant
lawns and the profuseness OF its
flower beds. Certainly it must be
conceded the flowers grown there
exhibit a remarkable coloring, a de-
gree more deeply pronounced than is
seen elsewhere. If this is doubted
one should procure a specimen of
the Chevy Chase red rose and COM
pare it with others.
Chevy Chase is creeping away
from it's main thoroughfare. Con-
necticut avenue. It trails off along
a dozen or more beautiful lane
roadways terminating abruptly in
(AAO GNGO VA SAAO AOAC0Is <AAO46 SAClA
are scattered beautiful little homes
Most of them stand out distinctly
in their white paint against the
green background of the nearby
forest. Many OF them hardly can
be glimpsed from the main highway.
Exclusiveness has come to be
attributed as a chief characteristic
of the suburb. In a sense this is
literally true of the community.
But there is a distinction to be
drawn, it is pointed out. between
excluStveness and snobbishness.
There is nothing in the reception
one meets to suggest even a remote
semblance Of the latter. Residents
ofthe section resent the assumption
that they are exclusive" in the
sense that they are unwilling to
welcome newcomers.
Only Follow the Customs.
It is only necessary the latter be
willing to maintain certain fixed
standards governing developments
and improvements and conform in
other respects to accepted customs.
All Of these restrictions, 1t is in.
sisted, tend only to insuring the
home-like character of the COM
munity and it's future maintenance
as residential section protected
against intrusion by Objectionable
activities.
