The voting strength of the Klan is

CARRIAGE AND MOTIONS OF THE
HANDS

VXIHEN a person carries the hands
w in front Of the body, or slightly
ut the side, and moves them continual
ly, or almost always, waving them
about as though to keep them from
touching anything, or to keep any
thing from touching them, 1t Is a sign
Of a nature that Is suspicious, looking
about for traps, etc. In some subjects,
to be judged by other characteristics,
this is, of course, good sign, since
it denotes carefulness, watchfulness,
and a desire to Investigate matters
before passing Judgment upon them.
We sometimes encounter the sub
ject who keeps the hands clasped in
front, with the palms together. In
very many cases it is woman who
carries the hands thus. She is calm
and placid in temper, looking at life
through the philosophers spectacles.
Such a person will let the hand be
read in a quiet, unhurried manner, and
is a good subject" Of course, all of
the other types that have been de-
scribed will betray their mental and
moral characteristics-to some ex-
tent, at least-by the manner in
which they submit their hands to
reading.

GREAT CONTRAST in SCREEN PLAYS
AT EMPIRE THEATRE NEXT WEEK
1.-THE Eleventh Hour" Runs Camut
Of Thrills. Governors Lady"
A Human Interest Story.

Running the gamut of nielodra-
matte thrills, "The Eleventh Hour"
adapted by William Fox from Lincoln
j. Carter's stage success, will be the
attraction at the Empire Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday. This exciting
production stars Charles Jones and
Shirley Mason. In the supporting cast
are June Elvidge and Alan Hale.
From every standpoint the screen
version surpasses the legitimate pre-
sentation. The limitless expanse Of
development possessed by the screen
gave Lincoln J. Carter new inspira-
ton for more startling thrill-stunts.
One of the most striking and
breath-abating stunts effected in this
production, is the shooting of Charles
Jones and Shirley Mason through the
torpedo tubes of submerged SUBJ
marine. Equally amazing is Jones'
battle with lions. There is much ex-
element provided by the daring of
Miss Mason. She hangs over huge
vat of liquid iron to escape the un-
Welcome attentions Of the Prince. Her
live into the ocean from a high preci-
pice is another hair raiser.
Pirates in the employ of a foreign
prince who seeks to posses the formu.
of an explosive of tremendous pow
er cause most of the thrills of "The
Eleventh. Hour"
The second feature Of the week is
the screen version of David Belasco's
stage success, "The Governors
Lady," which will be shown on We'd
lesday and Thursday. This picture
vas made for William Fox by Harry
Millarde, the man who made "Ove,
the Hill" and eff Winter Comes" On
the stage the play was tremendous
;uccess and enjoyed an unusually long
run.
"The Governors Lady," from the
pen of Alice Bradley, is powerful
story, dealing with all the romantic
growth Of man who completes his
education through his work and con-
tact with big people. HIS wife is slow
n adapting herself to his rapid de-
velopment. This situation brings out
! series of intensely dramatic Incl
dents. that have been presented force.
fully in the picture.
The story is one that has it's paral-
lei in real life, not only in political
circles but in the lives of bigbusiness
executives and professional men
Its fidelity to life is Photographic -
said the critics, following the Broad
way production of the play. The same
vas said and written when the pro-
| 1uction went on the road.
The cast includes Robert T. Haines
in the roll Of the Governor and Jane
Grey in the title role. Other princi-
pals are Ann Luther, Frazer Coulter
and Leslie Austen.
An unusual situation is noted in the
program for Friday and Saturday, in
that Charles (Buck) Jones will be
seen in the title roll of Second Hand
Love-" his second starring vehicle of
the week at the Empire.

NEGLECTED HEADLIGHTS
CAUSE ROAD ACCIDENTS

Would you drive your car 20 to 60
miles an hour blindfolded?
Of course you would not aid yet
that is what people do in effect when
they dim their headlights when pas
sing each other on the highway.
Everyone knows that bright lights
shining in the eye blind a person and
cause accidents.
Not so many people know that sud-
denly dimming the headlights on
passing another car also blinds the
driver and that this procedure causes
just as many highway accidents as
glazing lights.
What person has not been partially
blinded for a few moments when
stepping from brightly lighted
room to a dark cellar stairway?
The effect is the same when you
suddenly dim your headlights. To
be sure both both drivers stop the
glare but they also rob themselves of
the light necessary to see. If memory
of what he saw just before dimming
were not helpful factor to the driv-
err, the number of night accidents due
to dimming would be appalling.
For this reason the Wisconsin law
fcrbids dimming your headlights and
the Secretary of State so advises
every motorist when he sends the
license plates.
But this does not mean that you
may cause binding glare. You are
required to have light on the road
which is so good that you can see
a dark object 200 feet ahead of your
car and at the same time not blind
the other driver.
Such light, when the lights are
not dimmed, will throw a direct
beam down the road at least 200 feet
but no part of the beam will rise
above the level of the headlights and
hence will not glare the other driver.
Remember that the light which
blinds the other fellow does you no
good either, because it never hits the
road bed. Hence when your lights
are glazing you are wasting light.
A few simple adjustments, just as
simple as the ones you make on your
radio, will give you a light which is
not only legal and safe but actually
* better.
Therefore, for selfish reasons, if
for no other, you win benefit from
little attention to your headlights.
If your garage man cannot show
you how to focus and adjust your
headlights, white 70 r a booklet pub
lished by the Industrial Commission
which explains in full how to do it. i

An Advertising Hint
For Stock Breeders
HOlstein Association Gives Tip That
Also Applies AS Well To All
Other Wide-Awake Farmers

With tourists from most every
state in the Union and some from
outside the U. S., rolling over our
highways and looking us over as
they go, one cannot but be impressed
with an advertising possibility that
presents itself at little cost and
trouble.
Why not an advertising display
sign at the entrance to each farm
yard in the state.
Such an advertisement can carry the
farm name, the name and address of
the owner and the farm speciality, be
it hogs, cattle honey, fruit or what
not
In the case of Holsteins such dis
play advertisements can be black and
white in color. Since metal enam-
ell sign II x24 inches in size bearing
the reproduction of Holstein cow
is available at little or no cost and
since secretary Oldham has designed
and explained a model advertisement
that is an inspiration in a pamphlet
that is issued for the asking by the
Holstein- Fresian Association of Wis
consin, it is possible at least for the
Holstein owners of Wisconsin to take
the lead in this matter of telling the
world about Wisconsin's farms
what they produce and who owns
them.
Wisconsin is not ashamed Of her
farms or her farmers and our farm
ers can well evidence the pride that
should be theirs in ownership of the
producing units that are the envy of
every state in the Union.
Let's have a display advertisement
at the entrance to every Holstein
farm in the state and let's have it
now.-H olstein Association Bulletin
