UNsouNDNEss OF MIND SHOWN

unsoundness of mind Gnsanity)
is shown by the sign of the moon, a
crescent, OF the mount of the moon,
which lies on the outside of the hand
toward the wrist. If the same sign
is seen on the upper noun of Mars,
violent insanity is to be dreaded.
Other signs of weakness of mind in
varying degrees are as follows:
The line of life tasseled at the end,
one tassel going to the mount Of the
moon. The line of the head wavy and
rising in a curve toward the line of
the heart under the mount Of the sun
or Mercury. The line of the head
stopping abruptly toward the mount
of the moon, with a star on the first
finger. The line of the head broken
under the mount of Saturn, and slop-
ing toward a very prominent mount
of the noon. Broken or curved lines
IN a sloping line of the head. If
there is danger of religious insanity, it
is indicated, according to some au-
thorities, by the line of the head form
ing a large cross with the line of
health on the mount of the moon.

EVANGELINE

THE very essence of poetry Is cap
L tured and held imprisoned in the
name Eyangelina. The legend of that
beautiful and unhappy maiden whose
fateful w%anderings were immortalized
by Longfellow surrounds the name
with omance and charm beyond all
other feminine names.
Evangeline is derived from the
Greek and signifies angel-like. 1t also
has the translation happy messen-
GER" since it comes from the Greek
word meaning well, happy, combined
with another word meaning moving
the whole forming Evangelus, bearer
of good tidings. The term applied
originally to a shepherd who brought
to Ephesus the tidlngs of a quarry of
beautiful marble for the building OF
the temple that was the glory of the
nonors as he was, the title must have
seemed to the Ephesian Christians to
lit those spiritual shepherds who
brought the best of tidings and Evan.
gelista became the term for preachers
Evangelism was an old Italian name
and Longfellow seemed to have Dor
rowed it and invented his Evangeline
purely for use in his poem. 1t Is from
his adoption that all the American
Eyangelines are derived, so it may
perhaps be called the purest American
feminine name which we have. Ger
tainly Longfellow has described al
ideal American girl:
Fair was she to behold, that aid o.

Black were her eyes as the berry ina

left old ties and friends behind her
and would like to take up new ones.
In Washington, official etiquette re-
quires that the newly arrived officials
pay their respects by calling first at
the White House, then upon the vice
president and other persons in high
position, rather than wait for these
important persons to call Upon them
a custom that time has proved to be
the best one.
If a person move from one neigh
borhood to another in the same city or
town-what about first calls then?
This is a question that is sometimes
asked. In most cases there would be
little excuse or necessity for the older
residents in the, new n~eighborhood to
make any calls, because the chances
are that the newcomer then has ac-
d~uaintances a-plenty in the same
town. 1t would sometimes seem a lit
tie intrusive for an old resident TO take
this opportunity to know a person with
whom she might not ever have had an
opportunity of exchanging calls in any
other way. In such case, then, 1t
would be somewhat better to wait I'M
til the newcomer in the neighborhood
asks you to call before you do SO. At
any rate, you are not obliged in any
way to do so. In fact, even when a
total stranger to live near you,
there is no social necessity for making
a first call. In large cities one almost
never makes a first call of this sort,
simply because a newcomer is a stran-
ger. Even in small towns it is not a
matter of social obligation. However,
it is necessary TO return the first call
within ten days, whether the recipient
of it wishes to continue the acquafnt-
ance or not. Later calls need no be
returned, but it is extremely rude not
to acknowledge that first call.

little rabbits sticking right up straight
as they flew along.
Mr.. Fox was so sure that he was
smarter than Jack Rabbit that he did
not notice anything he did-he was
toe busy thinking of his clever plan
but If he had kept his eyes on Jack
he would have seen him tuck under
the straw on the sled a nice long
whip, but he didn't and so he dashed
over the hill near the farm.
When he reached there he began to
prance and caper in a way that threat
ened to upset the sled and Jack Rabbit
began to think there was something
wrong, and that it was time to use the
whip.
Whoa there, whoa !" he said, giving
the reins a sharp twitch, and then,
to the great surprise of Mr.. Fox, right
over his head and neck he felt a sharp
sting. Mr.. Fox was smart enough to
know what was going on and that for
once Jack Rabbit had outwitted him,
sc he pretended he was cutting up to
make the little Dummies laugh, but
he didn't go any farther from home.
He turned right around and ran back
and he was very careful not to cut up.
'That was a splendid ride you gave
u.s. said Mrs. Rabbit as she and the
Bunnies jumped to the ground, and
Jack Rabbit thanked him also, but
there was a twinkle in his eyes that
told Mr.. Fox that though he did not
know just his scheme he had been too
clever for him this time and had
spoiled it.

deep enough, you would see that the

The rules of etiquette for first calls
are quite clearly rules of convenience.
Thus the old resident calls upon the
newcomer because it is her place, as
it were, to extend the courtesies and
hospitality of the neighborhood to the
newcomer. The newcomer would feel
timid at introducing herself to the

No More Attractive Field in the World Toda.
for Woman Than Politics


Go in for politics, make a career of it as you would of art or music.
The opportunities are boundless. The United States has had only two
women congressmen-and has elected the third. The field of diplomacy has
only just been opened up by the appointment of the first woman to a place
in an American embassy.
There is no more attractive field in the world today for a woman than
politics. She needs only one investment-her desire to be of service. And
her returns-in prestige, in influence, in the knowledge of service rendered
are enormous.
A woman must train herself for politics just as thoroughly Is she
would for any other career. And she must work from the bottom up. This
means doing the most memaf things that come to her hand. l should say
to the young woman who is contemplating a political career, first, take a
course in elementary law. Study cyics. Know all about your municipal,
county, state and federal government and the persons taking part in it.
Then run for the lowliet Office there is. And from here-if you
have demonstrated your ftness-the line runs straight to the highest posi-
ton you are qualified to take.

Only Safe Solution to the tumble Is a Uniform
Marriage and Divorce Law
By GENEv1EvE P~ARKHURsT, in the Pictorial Review.

For some years, now, men and women Of intellectual and social en-
deavor have talked and exhorted the public to action, the lawmakers to
legislation. A few feeble efforts have been made to put through some sort
of national law by which the marriage and divorce laws of the different
states could be adjusted. But they have fallen by the wayside Of commit
tee dlatoriness or have entirely failed Of consideration.
Some states have adequate laws, but their wisdom can bear only partial
harvest if they do not receive the recognition of other states. For in a
nation still in the making, and where there is such vast territory to be set
tied and cultivated as there is in this country, population naturally shifts
from one place to another, and if one states law is to become another
states crime, confusion must be the eyentualty, and is.
Looking all these facts squarely in the face, the only safe and sane
solution to the tumble, therefore, is a uniform marriage and divorce law,
and one that win do justice to every citizen, rich or poor, male or female,
young OF old, and, above al, to the children, who are the most important
constituents of true marriage and of paramount concern in our national
integrity.

circumstances, but useful for all times and under all
conditions. The general board adopted this statement
of purpose:
"To create, maintain, and operate a navy second

ships established by the treaty for limitation of naval
ornaments.
"To make the capital ship ratios the basis Of

Would Hang Their Heads in Shame Over the
Action of Their Ancestors
By SENATOR PAT HARRISON, of Mississippi, Fiibuster Speech.

What if a hundred years from now your reatgreatgreat-grand
children should look over the Journal of yesterday and discover that no
mention is made of the fact that there was prayer yesterday in open
ing this body, and they then should take the proceedings Of the following
day, as they will appear in the Journal tomorrow, and should read that
their atgreatgreat-grandfath voted against my motion to amend
the Journal so that the prayer might be incorporated in the Journal?
Why, those children of tomorrow would hang their heads in shame
over the action of their ancestors.
So we must change this policy, if it has been a policy, and start
a new one today, so that the record of this body that is to be handed
down to future generations will reveal the fact that we had prayer in
opening this august body.
