Onward
HO!
By r. HAYWOOD HIGGINS.


HALF a million years from
"A now,
A According to the furrowed
brow
OF fossil-seelxing scientists of
note,
The world will have a change Of
cline, like in the mesozoic
time
And balmy breezes everywhere
will float.
The cold and ice-ribbed arctic
strand win be a languid
hula land;
The summer resort trade win
go to pot.
At any place, so they confess, a
leaf will be sufficient dress
And less than that in places
where it's hot.
A man can go II he so wish with
just pewter plate or dish
And pick his luncheon right
from off q tree! i
No grocery stores, no butcher
shops, no eighty cents q
pound for chops.
And everyone can have a
family.
The grille shows viii go to rats;
the same with furs and
beaver hats;
All dancing win be out upon
the lea!
Wen wear q string of beaded
charms that dangle from
beneath our arms;
No clothing stores will mar the
scenery.
An social prestige viii be nil: the
debutante's debut bill
For models OF exclusive furbe-
lows
WIN be a pint of hand-picked
plums which gathered by.
her flapper chunns,
Will pay for decking her from
head to toes.
To office work, no factories, no
servant girl detractories;
No profiteering there win be
no rent!
Wen sit beneath the waving
palms and have no earthly.
woes or qualms;
Nobody win be broke or have
cent!
All! Those win be the lazy days
the drowsy, frowsy, hazy
days;
No man win have what others
cannot get.
me chink will kiss the Nippon's
cheek: the Turk viii gambol
with the Greek,
And ''Pussyfoots'' viii leave
the world 30 wet!

 Mr. Chamberlin also said he was opposed to the reaolntion as il stands He said he did not believe in putting in within the power ofI any cne man to institute suits ill the name of the Territory at hisI own discretion when such actionsl were aimed at the Federal Govern ment.

PhrenOIOgiSt Declares Coolidge VIII Be
Own Boss; Chart Shows Great VIII Power
NEW PRESIDENT IS
SELF-RELIANT MAN
Jessie Allen Fowler, Scientist,
Says Nation Fortunate to Have
Him AS Chief Executive

NEW YORK, August IA sci
entific analysis of President Cool
idge has been made by Jessie Allen
Fowler, noted phrenologist, who has
traced and named the qualities
which she says are proof of the
power he is destined to show in
the White House.
The country is particularly FOR
innate in having a man Of the abili-
ty, courage and foresight possess
ed by Calvin Coolidge 10 take up
the duties, thrust upon him 50 sud
denly, of president of the United
States.
He has the mental-motive type
of temperament, whicn makes him
a student. thinker and planner rath-
er than an ease-loving man. He IS
quite original, preferring to work
out his own ideas rather than those
of others, when he believes that he
is right and others are wrong.
Sagacious and intuitive, he is
able to understand people at first
sight and ought to know how to
handle large groups of men sue
cessfully. The police in Boston
know that, as they have heard his
logical arguments. He is no trifler,
but is serious, and he means what
he saws as well as says what he
means.
His head is exceptionally high,
which gives him a keen conscien-
tious spirit and inclines him to toe
the mark himself and expect 9th
ers to do the same. He is a law
abiding man and he sees no reason
why others should not be law-abid-
ing, too.
Breadth of head over the ears
gives him force to push principle
to its conclusion.
Thin lips betoken the fact that
he can hold his own counsel and
reserve his opinions until the right
time comes to express them.
Eyes keenly intellectual show
that he will allow himself to con-
slider a subject from a purely
thoughtful viewpoint rather than
from an emotional one.
His posterior lobe is large, and he
loves his nome, his family, his coun-
try and his friends tenaciously-
Hence he ought to be wise Guide
and counsellor in all public matters
as an executive officer, for a gov
eminent is like a large family
Though he is a man OF few
words, those words are always well
chosen. His speech of Acceptance
contained 40 words, but those 40
words expressed all he needed to
gay.
He is humanitarian and illum-
ines his work in a practical, bust
ness-like and spiritual way, for he
looks all round a subject before he
ventures an opinion.
