If al The buttons made In year In

WHY RIGHT HAND IS USED
Was Necessary In the Days When the
Heart Was Guarded by
the Left Arm.

The Pathfinder prints an interesting
theory Of why we are right-handed.
Most persons are right-handed. Only
one in every twenty Is left-handed.
Why are people right-handed? They
may have been born that way, It's true,
but why2 There's a reason for most
things, If you can only puzzle 1t out.
Away back in the beginning the chief
occupation of man was fighting. In bat
tie he carried q shield in one hand and
a weapon in the other. 1t was not much
work to carry the shield but the quick
action required by the hand and arm
which did the fighting soon developed
that arm. 1t also developed the nerves
and the half of the brain that governed
the right side of the body. Those who
shielded their let side-thus protect
Ing the heart-were the ones who usu'
ally came out victorious. Down through
the ages this selection continued, the
right hand gradually becoming more
proficient.

Privileged Mendicants.

Blue gowns, or BeadSmen, was an
order of privileged mendicants Of Scot
land, of whfes the latest trace did not
expire till 1868. The first appellation
was due to the distribution among
these persons of gown Of blue cloth.
to which were added loaf of bread.
bottle of ale and leather purse con-
tanning a penny for every year of the
ruling sovereign's age. Annually a
new Beadsman, or Blue Gown, was
elected. Each member of the body
bore pewter badge on which were in,
scribed his name and the words past
and repast.
The usage, which had Its origin in
the ancient practice of vicartous
prayer, resolved itself into public
charity, of which the sources were for,
gotten, and in 1898 60 Beadsmen were
on the roll. No appointments were
made after that date, and the last sur.
vivor drew his allowance from the ex
chequer at Edinburgh in May, 1868.

Borderland Of Sleep.

"Once you cross the threshold of
sleep" said DR.. Hereward I. CARING
ton, lecturer, psychologist and student
Of the occult, you begin to dream.
Often you do not remember dreaming,
and rarely ever do you remember more
than the sketchy outlines Of your
dreams, but the dreaming has been con-
tinuous just the same"
1t is with this threshold, this border
land state, when the conscious is be-
coming quiet and the subconscious is
becoming active, that the study of the
nature Of sleep chiefly Is concerned.
It is in that period that most Of the
important discoveries about sleep and
dreams are made. A few instances
have been found where the figures Of
dreams, dream impressions, have been
so vivid as to remain with the dreamer
for short time after waking.

the president can have showdown
Immediately if the senate will agree

let him call special session of con-
gress in March so that senate which
really represents the people can give
it to him.
"The Shipping trust" Harrison
continued, "is not in bad shape. 1t
made big profits during the war and
does not need the 100000 of
public money which the president is
anxious to donate to it.

UNITED STATES COURT JUDGES
USURP AUTHORITY

culiar political and economic views
on the people.
"When Chief Justice Taft in writ
ing the prevailing opinion of the
United States supreme court-which
by a single vote destroyed the child
labor law-Taft spoke with the voice
of a sovereign. Yet as matter of
fact supreme court pustices are only
men, human, errant, selfish, like the
rest of u.s."
Justice Ford denounced the prac-
tice of federal and state courts of
issuing injunctions against labor
bodies at the behest of employing in
terests. The Judge Wilkerson injunc-
tion in Chicago against the rail shop
craft unions is a particularly flagrant
instance of this sort Of abuse of judi
cial power, he declared.
He urged that the constitution be
amended to forbid the issuance of an
injunction in labor disputes except to
the extent that a state legislature
may expressly provide, and in no case
until the facts are determined after a
full hearing of both sides.
AS remedy for judicial usurpation
of the law-making power, he recon-
mended the passage of constitution
al amendment so that if a law is
passed a second time by a legislative
body after it has been declared in
valid by the court of last resort, it
henceforth should be immune from
judicial attacks.
