Why do leaves turn red or vel
low in the fall?

w ny 90 leaves turn req OF yeI-
low in the fall?
The colors of the leaves in the fall
depend upon the chemical contents
of the tree. When the leaves begin
to turn this is a sign that they are
returning to the body of the tree
any food matter contained in them.
All that remains in the cell cavities
Of the leaves is a watery substance
in which a few oil globules and crys-
tails and a small number of yellow,
strongly retroactive bodies can be
seen. This gives the yellow color
In some trees there Is more sugar
in the leaf than readily goes back
into the trunk Of the tree. This gives
a red color which later turns to
brown as the leaf dies.

which can be fired across the At

panic to the point where the Gov

COX,S FACE

RooSeveIt'S, Analysis Of
Psychologist Shows,
By DIR. WIN. NJ. MARSTON
Washington Psychologist and

Psycho-Analyst
FLAMES M. cox has a strong
| face and head.
- To begin with, we should
get over the idea that a prominent
chin signifies responsiveness and
courage. Roosevelt, one Of the most
courageous and aggressive men in
public life in the last half century
had a chin very much like that Of
Cox's. Chins of this type signify,
primarily. executive ability.
They are like the sharp, tapering
bow-line of a speed boat, made to
thrust forward rapidly into the OPP
posing water, and let the water slip
away behind. Cox's chin means that
he viii always try to go straight to
the point without quibbling or vast
ing time on formanties.
Has Cupid's Bow
Note, next, the slight "Cupid's
bow" in the Cox lips. Here is our
first indication of love. 1t promises
that the curved lips will speak
about altruistic or loving subjects.
Coxs mouth shows he win make
his campaign speeches upon some
broad, humanitarian issue, rather
than upon the immediate, selfish in
terests of his auditors or himself.
There is something important to
be noted in the shape of Cox's eye
sockets. Here we find the crucial
index of appetite or sex. The set
ting Of flesh and bone in which the
eye-ball is placed may approximate
a right-angled triangle pointing out

Huge Airplanes

Even bigger airplanes, capable of

agents or other killing devices.
Dreadnaughts which can travel

Huge tanks, land battleshios, also

The imagination is being entirely
outdone.
Marshal Foch says of mass at
tacks from the air-bombing, gass-
ing, poisoning, strangling virtually
entire populations:
The potentialities are almost in
calculable. Such an attack, owing
to its crushing moral effect on a ma
ton, may impress public opinion to

Half of Town in Texas, and
Balance in Arkansas, But No
Fiction Exists
HAS TWO SETS OFFICER
Curious Condition Faced by
Corut Engaged in Trying Clerk
Accused of Theft
I've travelled sight in this land OF
our'n,
From Florida clean to Montana
And what struck me as the queer
est town
Was the city of Texarkana. a.
Ballads of a Wanderer.

TEXARKANA, Ark.-TeX, Jan.
uary 17.-(By NEA. Service.) -
In this city a man can slip on a
banana peel in Texas and pick him
self up in Arkansas.
Snowballs hurtle through the air
from Arkansas and find their marks
in breezy Lone Star Staters, iiYing
in their own Texas.
For half of Texarkana is in the
one state and half in the other.
Right through the center Of the
town runs State Line avenue. On
one side the city is governed by the
laws Of Arkansas; on the other by
i he laws of Texas.
Besides the two state govern
ments, there are two full sets Of
county officers, two public school
systems, two complete municipali-
ties with two mayors, two city coun-
ellis, two police departments, two U,
5. courts-two of nearly every
thing. At one time two U. S. sena-
tors had their residence III TeX;nk-
ana-Sheppard Of Texas, and Kirby
Of Arkansas.
The federal building and she I'M
ion station are the only buildings
that stand in both states. Besides
the postoffice and station 2he only
other things of a public nature that
serve both cities are the ire de-
partments, individually owned by
each city but operated as one, and
joint sewage DISPOSAL plant.
Recently postal clerk pilfered
a letter and the case was taken into
the U. S. court for the western dis
trict of Arkansas. During the trial
the question of jurisdiction was
raised and it was necessary to de-
terminc whether the offending
clerks work table was located in
Arkansas or Texas.
Newspaper reporters have a
tough life, for when their work Of
newsgathering is complete in one
state, they hustle over the line and
do it all over in the other.
The close individual and official
friendship of the twin cities was
demonstrated in the recent golden
jubilee celebration here, when the
governors OF Arkansas and Texas
and the mayors of TeXarkana, Tex,
and Texarkana, Ark, marched up
State Line avenue and clasped
hands across the line.
