 Numbers written on the gate
 oft foretell the readers fate.
 If you write numbers, you will find yourself involved in unpleasant and puzziing business transactions; if you watch others write them you will probably be compelled by circum- stances outside of your control to go to expenditures far beyond your means.
 Numbers written in ink or painted mean income; those written in chalk mean outlay; those written in pencil are mere calculations based upon false hopes. If you write numbers and then wipe them out again, you will in very short while make d foolish investment. To see numbers in the sky. especially If they are written in flaming hues, you are in extreme danger and are warned by your dream to take great care of yourself, because the slightest care lessness on your part is more than likely to result in serious and pain ful injury.
 The number three is considered ex- ceedingly lucky, whether alone or in 
 Three are the wishes of Fairyland That bring you riches at your com
 mand.
 and if you see it very plainly, dom mating all other parts of your dream, you may rely upon exceptional ma terial good fortune.
 Another good number to dream of is seven, for this is the dream symbol for true love and satisfied yearning. One is disappointment, two stands for distress, four for a feast, five for good messa ges, six for losses, eight for quarrels, nine for slanderous tongues and ten for sickness. In com bination, the numbers below 70 are good signs; those above mean vex- atior. Jumbled numbers, so that the dreamer grows confused, are indica- tive of many voices''-in other words, of contention and argument. To add figures signifies losses; to subtract them. small gains. To see many sheets covered with figures means a case in court in which you are called as witness.
 Married women who dream of num- bers in other ways than here indi- cated will have disagreements at heme, most likely over money mat ters.

Nathan Levine, Colby '21, of this
city, and Leo Levine of Boston. DR..
Levine is visiting the United States
for the first time and this is the first
time his brothers have seen him for
over ten years. He served as first
lieutenant in the French Army dur
ing the World War and for three
Years has been touring the Orient

Although, for his whole life. he
has lived in foreign lands, the doc

f1uently, as we'll as Ii other tongues
When asked by the Journal re-
porter what he thought of this
country, he replied that he was
that it is the greatest country for
amusement outside of Partisan
France.
Mr.. Levine stated that business
conditions in China are gaining once
more. In 1919 and 1920 he said
there was a large boom of business
conditions in that country but things
took a slump through 1921-1923 be-
cause of the unrest at Canton. Now
matters have been Strengthened so
that China will be placed on her feet
once more.
The reporter then asked DIR. Le-
vine if there were many changes
in hotel arrangements as he passed
from one nation to another.
Yes" said the doctor, there is.
In America everything is run under
the European plan, but in the East,
we hear nothing but American plans
at the hotels"
He also stated that in Paris. one
could put up at the best hotels for
81 10 per day, but in China it would
take $3.50 for the same accommoda-
ton.

Famous Alpine Climber
Dies in Switzerland

Zermatt, Aug. ia. P. by Mailo
The recent death of Peter Taug-
valdez has robbed Switzerland of its
most famous Alpine climber. and the
last survivor of the party which
climbed the Matterhorn for the first
time IS years ago, at the cost OF six
lives.
Only three out of a total party OF
ten returned to Zermatt after having
made the first ascent of the previous
" unscaled Matterhorn. These were
Peter Taugwalder and his son and
Edward Whymper. a famous British
Alpinist vino organized the party.
Whymper and the younger Taug-
| valdez have been dead for many
years, but Peter Taugwalder lived to
make over 120 ascents of the noun
| tain on which he miraculously es-
| capped death when his seven COM
panions plugged over a Cliff TO the
Matterhorn glacier 1000 feet below.
The body of Lord Douglas, who was
| among the Englishmen who were lost,
was never found, and probably caught
| on q crag high on the mountain side
where it could not be seen.
Edward Whymper wrote a book
about the tragedy which occurred
| after the plucky climbers had been
on the peak for an hour and had
started on their downward trip. He
and the two Taugwalders were saved
by the swapping of a rope which
bound them to the other members OF
| the party. One of the British mem
| hers of the party. who was next to
the guide leading the way, slipped
and knocked the leader over with
such force that they dragged tho
other members of the party down
| with them. The weight and strain on
the rope became so great that IN
swapping it left the three last men,
bers of the party safe on the noun
tain side. where they could see the
bodies of their companions on the
glacier far below them, For a time
the survivors thought 1t would be i'm
possible for them to continue the de-
scent. They were unnerved by the
accident, but finally aroused them
selves to action and tied their ropes
to rocks in such a manner that they
were able to pass the dangerous
stretches with a feeling of security.
The victims of the tragedy were ALI
| buried in the Zermatt churchyard.
and Peter Taugwalder now lies with
his companions.

SALVATION ARMY
RECEIVES APPEAL
JAPANESE RELIEF

Theo Fowler, adjutant of the local
Salvation Army Post, announces that
he has received an urgent appeal
from Commissioner Thomas Estell
the eastern territorial commander,
instructing the Army to make an
urgent appeal in all open air and
indoor meetings this week in behalf
of the Japanese relief. The Army
has received no word from the Sal
walton Army workers in Japan and
fear that they are lost. An old
American pioneer Salvation Army
officer who used to be the chief sec
rotary in this country, was in charge
of Salvation Army work in Japan.
This Is about the hardest blow that
the organization has ever received
as 1t had large staff and train
ing college for officers in Toxic.
Adjutant Fowler will be grateful
for any donation to this fund. Peo-
pie wishing to contribute please
make checks payable to the Saliva
ton Army. An official receipt will
be mailed for all amounts received.
The address is Salvation Army, Box

Triumph Was Short. Lived

At 1880 A. NJ. the tired scientist
laid down his pen, snapped or the
desk light in his study and started
upstairs. AS he felt his way along
the dark hall he was immensely
proud of himself for having remem-
bered to put out the light. He saw
himself at the breakfast table. re-
ceiving congratulations of the as
sembled family. He smiled in the
darkness as he thought how pleased
his wife would be.
Perhaps he should wake her now
and tell her, prove to her that this
observation-disclosures that amused and
not infrequently embarrassed her
was not as inveterate as she sup
posed. Certainly it was easy enough
to remember things If one tried. He
chuckled at the thought Of his tri-
umph. He'd show them.

little effort.
But why was the door open? Jean
invariably closed her door at night.
He called softly. There was no an
swer. Yet Jean woke at the slightest
sound. Icy fear clutched his heart;
he entered, switched on the light.
The room was empty.
He turned and ran down the hall to
his wife's room.
Martha" he called. Jean Is gone!
The bed is empty-hasn't been slept
in, What shall we do?"
To his complete and utter amaze
ment his wife sat up in bed and
laughed until the tears ran down her
cheeks.
"Oh," she gasped. you'll be the
death of me. Can't you remember
anything? Jean was married this
afternoon. You gave her away your
